北达科他州参议院否决了一项法案,该法案要求国家司库将国家总基金的1%投资于金银,理由是金库建设和安全费用高昂。 The North Dakota Senate rejected a bill that would have required the state treasurer to invest 1% of the state's general fund in gold and silver, citing high costs for vault construction and security. 该法案通过了众议院,目的是在两年内对贵金属投资4 000万美元,但批评者认为这些好处并不能证明支出是合理的。 The bill, which passed the House, aimed to invest $40 million in precious metals over two years, but critics argued the benefits did not justify the expenses. 参议院投票反对34-13号法案。 The Senate voted against the bill 34-13.
