The State of North Dakota cannot meet its September 1 payroll as funds were exhausted after warrants were drawn by state auditor Carl Kositcky for the first eight departments. August pay for state bank staff, the compensation bureau, and other non-elective departments is unpaid with no clear date for payment. The shortfall stems from emergency appropriations by the last legislature and a tripled state payroll under the current administration.
