I hope they have great success, if they manage to get more than the 17,000 barrels a day like they say is possible, it could work out quite nicely for the state. If they get 20,000 barrels a day, the state gets 1 out of 8, or 2500 barrels a day. At $80. a barrel $200,000. a day, or $73,000,000. a year. After 2022 th...

What is the root cause of the addiction problem? Let's solve the root cause, not the problem nor the symptoms of the problem. Will this be like the chronic inebriate problem in Anchorage where we incentivize bad behavior? I don't know.

I agree with everything on there. Which time zone do you prefer for Southcentral and Panhandle? I say PST works the best. This fall - instead of falling back we stay on ADT but actually we are shifting to PST year-round.

Alaska Airlines is the only one I will fly. The service is great, and also the whole crew.... from check-in crew, gate crew, and flying crew, & anyone else I forgot.......

Wow. Fracking, AND a $30MM subsidized loan from ALASKA to build the oil rig, and a earnings tax rebate on all oil production in sight? I wish I could get 50-65% of my business investment venture capital cash up-front covered by the State of Alaska, at uber-low interest. However, I would NEVER want to increase the ear...
