Alaska's White elephant aka The Port of Anchorage..... Pre-'64 Seward was the main port for South Central/Interior Alaska, which was ice free, didn't have the 4th largest bore tide in the world (27ft) or needed to be dredged constantly, or costing the State 100's of Millions, with no end in sight, for the dredging and...

Errors 1) The article says Royalty tax will be collected. That is immediately 2) 2022 tax is a LOCAL tax which is up to Kenai when to collect 3) These tax laws were passed when prices were higher and looked better then.

Ask NANA Region how they feel about the not too famous Red Dog Mine before teaching about it. Hardly any benefits, but locals are working hard on getting a hold of a few Mine bucks for their families. Very few Regional families work for NANA, Willie's have/do.

Oil prices are down almost $30 per bbl from a year ago, and $70/bbl from two years ago. Current forecasts are very mixed, with many saying that the ceiling likely isn't much above $40, and some projecting a fall back to $30. I wouldn't be loaning money to any producer these days - better to spend it in Vegas.

I've always thought that a good start would be limiting State aid and services to political subdivisions of the State. They would at least have to organize and accept some State authority as a predicate of State services other than education, which we've set up a nice legal fiction of local government with the REAAs....

Why coddle hopeless addicts?? Set up work farms for them to dry out and learn a trade. Incarcerate or execute the kingpins behind the massive surge of heroin in Alaska. When police see a car full of druggies with guns, stop them and take away all and keep doing so,,,screw the ACLU !!!!

If the deal goes through, it will give Alaska Airlines a hub in San Francisco and a bigger foot print at LAX which will improve flight options for Alaska airlines customers. At all major airports, gates are hard to come by, thus limiting flights. This acquisition would give them Virgin America's gates.
