11/01/23:: Records obtained by KFGO News from the North Dakota School Boards Association (NDSBA) show that Ray Holmberg, the former State Senator indicted last week on federal charges of child sex tourism and child pornography, traveled to Europe multiple times as part of a program funded by appropriations from the state legislature. Holmberg is accused of repeatedly traveling to Prague in the Czech Republic between June 2011 and November 2016 for the purpose of engaging in commercial sex acts with a minor.

Jon Martinson was the director of the program for the NDSBA, and Bob Martinson is a ND State Representative out of Bismarck who helped with the program and trips. Bob joined Joel yesterday on "News and Views" and came back on, with his brother, to clear up a few things he had wrongly said.
