Williams County has been ordered by a district court to refund $1.3 million in oil and gas lease revenues. According to the Williston Herald, June 20, 2018: In his decision, Northwest District Judge Benjamen Johnson wrote that because the county didn’t properly advertise a request for bids for mineral leases, the leases are void and the county must pay back the money it received in bonus payments. See the full article, "County will appeal ruling on mineral lease dispute," by Jamie Kelly, Williston Herald, June 20, 2018.
