Based on her own figures.........the industry has lost a billion dollars this past year. Wish we had their loss rather than the four billion dollar loss Alaska is facing. Cry me a river. Sadly Kara is parotting the same industry whiny statements used when oil was at $140 per barrel. Just never changes.

Guess what Hockey? The Peer system is "BIASED" because the ONLY PEERS to do the judging are the ones that passed the SANITIZING PROCESS and when you exclude the people you don't like you create a review process of sympathizers, aka "BROWN NOSERS" who pander to the crowd rather than allow OPPOSING POINTS OF VIEW!

Right. They learned it from their elders who sit for hours, remote in hand, guzzling beer, except for when they waddle down to the local bar to drink and watch TV there. It's not just teenagers.

The government also did not have to buy it, and had the seller wanted to sell to another party, it would have been developed for the good of the community as well. And the City could have most certainly, placed open space contingencies in the zoning if it were that concerned.

Quonset huts were originally manufactured in Quonset Point, Rhode Island for the military in WWII. They have only lasted this long because each piece was double-dipped in lead paint, first the primer then two finish coats.

Another great irony of this whole thing: This bill isn't meant to protect students, it's meant to start and keep an argument going along divisive ideological lines, pad campaign coffers, and draw imaginary lines for a duped electorate. To judge from the comments it's working like a charm.

It is a fallacy that the permanent fund was created for any specific purpose. I can say that as one who researched the question exhaustively. There was no consensus in 1976. Furthermore, the constitutional amendment itself makes no reference to its purpose, beyond saving the money.
