Our stance can be summarized with the old adage, "your right to extend your fist ends where my nose begins."

Only slightly more than 3% of Alaskans are African American so having 2 judges of color out of 73 is proportionally correct.

Mike, the algorithms don't judge your speech—humans do. If moderators were hired, each comment would only be seen by one moderator, where it'd receive one pass/fail grade. With our system, each comment is judged by several people. Our algorithms then analyze those judgments and attempt to account and correct for bi...

The point was made, months ago, that if we cut EVERY SINGLE POSITION IN STATE GOVERNMENT, it STILL would not close the budget gap. And still people are talking about cuts instead of taxes. We can't do this without new taxes. There's no guarantee we can do this WITH new taxes, but it's time for Alaskans to face our resp...

Governor Walker: The issue is not cuts vs taxes. We need both. The issue is whether you can force the cuts we need if we institute taxes first. Show us a credible plan to right-size Alaska government, and I think you'll find most Alaskans willing to pay taxes. Don't blame Republicans--blame the absence of a coherent s...
