The State does not need to be burdened by "outside" decisions.. If another country makes orders, they can and should enforce them.. Does anyone else see fault with a country within another??

The 4-plex style apartments these developers favor only suit students, preferably wealthy ones given the outrageous rents.

The oil companies have been making record profits from Alaska for 40 years, and now that they are not making such profits from the sale of our oil , they are being gifted billions of dollars of " state " monies while they cut their labor force and slow down production.

We need a 3 legged stool to fix our fiscal gap: 1- 25% reduction in state spending and employees. 2- use PFD earnings to fund government 3- wait 3 years for a fiscally conservative governor to be elected. If we impose a broad-based tax now, there will be little pressure to contain government
