Thanks for the great insight Dermot. Anyone with 2 cents worth of imagination could see a long time ago that this bridge project was a boondoggle, which Alaska is famous for creating. It is time to fire the KABATA staff and bury this project in the "Grave Yard of Failed Fantasties" and move on.

There's no way I'm going to do the work of those lowly immigrants, Ralph, so unless you're willing to dress head to toe, with gloves and hat and toil in the blazing sun in the Coachella Valley to make sure I have broccoli, or wade through bloody entrails at a meat packing plant, I'll fight to keep them here for exploit...

Who chose the Majority in the Senate, the Majority in the House of Representatives, the Majority in the both the State legislatures and Governor’s offices for 23 States? The Easter Bunny? Who chose the 31 Republican Governors? The Left Coast and New York, New England and Pennsylvania are not ‘The People”.

"Nor is there any similarity in bringing up the statues of other states," That is most ridiculous to say. It is extremely relevant to bring up the fact that in 40 out of our 50 states, this would not have been a crime. No charges would have been filed. Oregon is in a small minority.

The Gov called the legislature into a special session to waste millions on the ill-conceived gas pipeline that has nearly zero chance of being built and even less chance of being profitable if it ever is built...and now he insists we need a broad based tax. If it weren't so sad, it would be laughable.

In the valley we are lucky to find someone willing to run against current legislators--all Republicans firmly settled into their seats. Democrats running against Huggins and Neuman, for example, routinely receive 20 to 25 percent of the vote. It's a vicious circle Incumbency is too powerful.
