The city of Bismarck has lost another member, one who served not only in the Public Works department but also as a state senator and leader. Services are being held today for Senator Bob Stenehjem, the senator from my district. If you live in south Bismarck, chances are he was your senator too.

Condolences to the Stenehjem family and the many others…family, friends, coworkers, and fellow legislators who will feel his loss.
