	Kelly Armstrong on Environment

Crack down on environmental extremist protesters

Kelly supported new rules to crack down on extremist protesters. The DAPL protests exposed some serious flaws in our century code and Kelly supported legislation that strengthened our laws and provided our law enforcement the tools they need to defend us against people who have no respect for our laws or our citizens. No longer will out-of-state environmental extremists get away with causing destruction and chaos in North Dakota. Source: 2018 ND-0 House campaign website ArmstrongND.com , May 12, 2020

Designating "special places" is same as EPA over-regulation

In January 2014, Armstrong questioned the statutory authority of the North Dakota State Industrial Commission to create "special places" exceptions for oil development and advocated for the commission to bring its proposals for a vote to the state legislature. The "special places" exceptions include a proposed list of North Dakota locations in which energy development would face stricter regulatory scrutiny.

In a letter to the commission, Armstrong expressed his disapproval of the policy. "Often in North Dakota we condemn regulatory overreach from Federal Agencies," Armstrong wrote. "Indeed, I have listened as members of this commission have given speeches railing against the overbearing tactics of the EPA and the U.S. Forest Service. However, it appears by the creation of this rule, we are saying that regulatory overreach is fine, as long as it is a North Dakota regulatory agency initiating the rule."
