The Twilight Zone has always shown best by Kreiss Tomkins, like his bill to toss the Alaska Limited Entry Act in the garbage can, and bring back corporate ownership of the Alaska Fisheries Trade.

State workers have had a nice ride of wealth transfers from the taxes on the oil produced in Alaska directly into their salaries, pensions, and healthcare benefits over the last couple of decades. It's been like watching Alice in Wonderland. The rest of us have built Alaska and done it the old fashioned way with our ...

Let us all just take a moment to remember how UAA recently build a large sports center on its own campus (instead of a multi-use facility, OR focusing on academics), which seems to be largely a single use facility.
