The below is a bit of a long read but VERY informative. You'll note how even in FDR and Truman's time that Southern conservatives (then Democrats starting to ally with Republicans) always rapidly abandoned their beliefs when they can get something. We are seeing the same thing. "All politics is local" as Tip O'Neill on...

I get it. The Anchorage and Mat-Su so-called conservative voters are up in arms because Anchorage's Assembly continues to be in the liberal majority. When voters or people in general seek candidates that can or have the potential to represent the voters' best interest, I'd like to think that we elect people that wil...

You do realize DOC employees have to join this union, right? This is a position paper from the union, not a single officer. DOC employees pay hefty dues to keep their overtime hours (that's good money you know) and protect their own. And often what the union backs is not good for the Alaskan taxpayer either. I don't ha...

Anything that even has a little bit of history is immediately torn down for housing or commercial buildings. First Civic Stadium, now the bowling alley, Down to Earth and Eugene Coin and Jewelry. I don't even want to go on Willamette St anymore with all my memories gone. We need a bowling alley!

This may be a shocker to you Art, so brace yourselves. A lot of people in Anchorage work, or worked, in the oil industry. When said industry took a crap, people had to look elsewhere for work. Therefore, people had to sell their houses to move where the jobs are. I know that will take a while to process.

Well, I know there are down sides, guys, but it does inject millions of dollars (literally) into an area which, quite frankly, is a community of starving people during the winter months. But good luck at the 3 gas stations in Glennallen, where the lines can be an hour or longer.

The DOC Commissioner is not obligated to explain anything to the ACOA, nor is he required to prostrate himself and diffidently ask "how high?" when they scream "Jump!" I've rarely read a more self-serving, self-aggrandizing, defamatory and inflammatory document than the so-called ACOA Rebuttal. Williams should sue.
