I personally know Governor Walker to be a good man, good family man and smart. But on the matter of imposing new taxes and establishing taxing bureaucracies he is hasty. Once implemented evan with Sunset clauses Alaskans will pay forever. The absolute worst would be an income tax tied to the 80,000 pages of unfair corr...

But, when the election is over, it may not be a GOP controlled congress. If they do remain in control, and Clinton is elected, she won't fair much better either. Much does depend on that huge detail.

What Orin Hatch said just ten days ago about nominee Judge Garland: “The president told me several times he’s going to name a moderate, but I don’t believe him. (Obama) could easily name Merrick Garland, who is a fine man. He probably won’t do that because this appointment is about the election. So I’m pretty sure he’...

Why pull the plug? When the savings are gone isn't it better to have bridge for the future than to have wasted it and watch it go out of state and end up with nothing anyhow? Businesses build during a downturn. Do you think that Alaska will never recover and grow, I would hate to think so.
