It's hard to make an apples to apples comparison...we have grown and will continue to do so...33,000 is a lot. The time may be for sustained growth and a different economy based on improvements rather than expansion...better people not just more! And help the good one's stay with strong ideals and youthful energy.

Mark Begich you were elected because Rick Mystrom decided to split the fiscally conservative vote giving you enough to win, though not a majority.

As a adjunct faculty member I agree and support them 100%; and besides, shouldn;t he be worrying about like the biggest issue ever? We won't have a University if he does not stop wasteing time on silly issues like this and Sex Ed. In fact I think that is is his intention stall.

Our Ownership Stake in Alaska “Alaska’s Land Voucher Program” We, Alaska residents, have said for 50 years now that we are an Owner State, however, we Alaskans haven’t asserted those rights and claimed our future other than the Permanent Fund & PFD!

We cannot be giving our resources away for nothing. Alaska's resources are in the wrong hands and there needs to be a change so that Alaska can gain maximum benefits from the development of their resources. This would be in accordance with our state's constitution.

Thanks to Stedman! Most of the legislature is in the pocket of oil. 500,000 barrels down the pipe daily. At $40 barrel equals $20m daily. No production tax until oil is $73 barrel.
