Hi, I'm familiar with the project. It is an adjustment that would leave your patio as is. The southern 2000 square feet only contains the old Rogue patio. The paper misprinted the name of the patio. Your patio and access will remain the same.

Make the oil companies issue stock in their companies in the value of all the money in tax credits and all other subsidies they have received from the state of Alaska to the state to be put in the permanent fund. Not the best thing but at least the state will get something for their money.

In addition to promoting funding for rehabilitation and recently programs, which help lower recidivism, the bill also lowers the amount of time for a first probation offense, which will significantly lower the prison population, hopefully long term.

I've always had a Jones for the huts. My wood shed is made from a set of James-Way quonset frames. I wish I would have bought a ton of them back in the day when the were common surplus; they're impossible to find now. BTW, good piece, Steve.

A modest take of the Dividend is called for. Last I saw it was projected at $1884.00 I think it should be reduced to $1000.00 this year as Walker suggests. The remainder to fill the budget gap.

People have quit reporting crimes, because there are not enough police to respond effectively to every instance. When someone does file a complaint, the gangs make their lives miserable.

There may or may not be a connection between the crimes in the article and the seized assets. For the police to seize assets, they DO NOT need to have any criminal charge or conviction.

Really a sales tax would give each of us property tax payers some relief as one has more of a say in paying via the decision to buy an item or not. If I want that doohickey but don't need it I can say no. The property tax is baked into owning even a house, much more need than want.

Everybody knows--police best of all--that private firearms don't create a net safety gain. On the other hand, a few more needlessly slaughtered American kids won't make any practical difference to the nation's future, either. This is a pure culture wars issue, like female suffrage and prohibition a century ago.
