She was interviewed by Koin TV. That's a local network news channel. The blog quoted her from that. But hey, now Acker has a source for another article, this time accusing Krantz of agreeing to interview by racist blogger.

So, minimum wage earners will be able to afford an apartment here? Boy, I can't wait to see what this housing project will look like. A bedroom/bathroom at Capstone costs almost $700/month, and we can see how ugly this building turned-out.

I can assure you in these challenging economic times Anchorage cannot afford to gut the LGBT rights law. Corporations adjust their policies to conform with these laws across the country.

Orin Seybert - so your solution is that you cost Alaskan families several thousand dollars more per year to live here -- essentially reaching into their wallets and stealing any private savings they've managed to accumulate, their kids' college tuition, their next car, paying off the mortgage early, the next vacation. ...

I can understand your frustration.

They used to praise how profits were incentivized to be re-invested in Alaska instead of being shipped off to Londo...

I’m puzzled by the “no known address.” Wouldn’t that be on the concealed handgun license? Is there a form of ID that shows no address but shows your birthdate?

First, the notion of Alaska "partnering" with BigOil is ridiculous. It sounds good, aimed at disarming us from the facts of negotiating financial deals. Actually we have an adversarial relationship with any entities we are dealing with. It's an "us against them" battle for who comes out as good as possible in the explo...

Elliott T. Dennis - I "own" the surface of 20 acres of land out in the Steese "mining" district.

Wherever Grandma and Grandpa move to they will likely have no $150,000 property tax exemption, like they do in Alaska. Some states offer property tax relief to seniors, but it's based on need. Sorry, but the free ride is over.
