OK, Barrett, do you enjoy the increase of home invasions, business robberies, murders? Let's scale back the fire departments, and lay off half the ASD teaching staff. Are you ready to homeschool your child(ren) or grandchild(red). Living in a glasshouse makes community life a bit warpped.

I'm arguing that increased spending has delivered better qualitative results over the last 80 years. I find it difficult to accept that an educational system serving a greater portion of the population and producing more graduates, and doing so with more equality, is a fundamentally worse system. Yes, the per studen...

Repeal SB21 and all tax credits. Impose a percentage production tax per barrel. 500,000 barrels a day less oil for Alaskans, zero taxes for Alaska. At $40 per barrel thats $20 million daily for multinational corporations. These laws were written by oil lawyers and past into law by oil company employees (Micciche, Meyer...

Honestly why more student housing? There are also 600 proposed apartments a short distance away. Currently there are 644 vacant apartments in Eugene, 224 available in the general area of campus.

It was probably just a commercial AR pistol (semi-auto only)that had an aftermarket addition of a rifle stock, thus turning into an SBR, which is a big, fat no-no if one does not have the ATF stamp. He'll be lucky if the Feds stay off his back for that one.

Don't confuse fiscal planning with escape goat by shoving state budget responsibilities to local government. Before the Republicans took control of our Legislature, there use to be a good partnership between municipalities and state government leaders.

At current prices, I can see the oil companies point, that they are losing money. If they shut down right now, Alaska will lose that billion in revenue, but not have to pay any more credits.

Yes - at $506 per person a year savings by cutting the state's share out for 11 people, I agree. You want a service, pay for it. Still want it but can't afford it? You can't have everything you want, and if it's that big of a deal to you, just move. That's the adult thing to do.
