For all you haters of Don Young, he has done more for Alaska than any of you, I don't like him much either, however he has dedicated his life to serving Alaska, has he benefited, yes, has Alaska benefited, yes, and Alaska more so.

Any oil production from the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge would be from federal lands. As such, the state taxes on that would be far lower than on state lands. Do not look to opening up ANWR as the panacea to correct the fiscal mess our elected leaders have gotten us into. And Mr. O'Donnell's point about the curre...

These 11,000 signatures collected, do these people really want lower taxes? If so, then each and every one of them should vote no on every single bond. By voting no on all bonds no new debt will be created and we pay down the current debt. Then and only then will property tax decrease. Yes its that simple. Vote n...

It seems to me that our institutions are bending over backwards to accommodate aggrieved minorities, and in doing so, subsidizing the grievance industry. If you truly believe the police and the state are out to get you because you're not white, you're beyond reason and way out in demogogue territory.

No person can follow the exact teachings of Jesus. Read the sermon on the mount, Matthew ch 5.
