Maj. Gen. Alan Dohrmann, the leader of the state's National Guard, speaks at the state Capitol in Bismarck, N.D., to Gov. Jack Dalrymple, right, and other members of the state Emergency Commission while requesting an additional $4 million for the North Dakota Department of Emergency Services related to law enforcement costs associated with the Dakota Access Pipeline protests in Morton County. The state agreed Tuesday to borrow an additional $4 million to cover the escalating law enforcement costs, bringing the total line of credit to $10 million. Dalrymple says officials have asked for contributions from the federal government, the pipeline company, an American Indian tribe, "and any entity we can think of."
