I missed the part where everyone is failing to recognize that the vast majority of Alaska is considered "federally OWNED", and nary a word about that. The mentality of an "outside land grubber" pales in comparison to the assumption and volatile over another's rights to buy and protect what he legally paid for. I'm sadd...

Simply another false narrative here crying about not enough of__fill in the blank__ in certain positions. What ever happened to "all men are created equal"? It doesn't seem anyone mentioned in the article can be logically accused of racism or misogyny...the only way to "level the playing field" (not that the playing ...

This is all political theater, which has degenerated into a pro-wrestling match among millionaires. The American public has stopped caring about the real issues so we get this---And the crowd eats it up. It's what sells, and they're peddling it to a world where what sells is all that matters. We get Trump on one sid...

I do remember that and have mentioned it in the comments before. It had to do with a building in Fairbanks if I recall correctly....Came close to actually getting him impeached but fell just short. Quite the scandal at the time.

This is why we need to revise the "public interest" laws so others can do the same. The law was gutted by previous legislators trying to take away the public's right to intervene. Good going Jim. The word games of big spending legislators who are now "retiring" should be a wake up call to all Alaskans. Who owns the leg...

Assuming it was an arm's length transaction, and Pfeffer had the opportunity to have his own legal counsel review the contract, Pfeffer has himself (and maybe his legal counsel) to blame. Reality is that if other transactions were subject to the scrutiny this contract got, it would probably look a lot like cockroache...

This was a deal that Pfeifer pushed (and had been pushing for a long time) with the legis' buying into it knowing it was sketchy. Had the budget not crashed there's a good chance that Pfeifer would have pulled off yet another "deal" and the band would have played on. He can eat it as far as I'm concerned, he also had...

Could you please back up these incendiary claims? HSUS doesn't say anywhere that they advocate for animal rights, and even if they did, it'd be simple rights like clean food and water, not a right to never be in a "close human-animal relationship."

Thanks Dermot, very well researched piece. This is uncovering the actions of public servants that are not serving the public interest, which is what a newspaper should do.

I saw Jim Gottstein on the news tonight and he said Pfeffer has no recourse, but he brought the case, so I am not so sure, because no lawyer that fought a case is going to admit that the other side still has a case.

She has to pay her hospital bills. Rehabilitation will cost as much or more than the initial "repair". She's probably not suing for enough to cover her total costs. The hospitals should be the party suing the church. If she went to Riverbend Sacred Wallet, everyone reading this should pray for her!

Your reply is incomprehensible.
