Who's up / Who's down




(11/07/09 18:35:09)

UP -- Dena'ina Center: Tourism down but convention center up. Keep them bookings comin'.

DOWN -- Anchorage School District: Marching orders call for $15 million in cuts. Somebody isn't gonna be happy.

UP -- Alaska charities: PFD check-off worth $550,000 in an otherwise lean year. Who said we keep a death grip on our dividends?

DOWN -- Tongass tree huggers: Conservation groups decry unkind cuts at 73 million board feet; logging side says it's not enough. So much for the Tongass truce.

UP -- Alaska fliers: Remember those old airport concourses A and B? They're back and dressed to the nines. Stroll in style to your gate.

DOWN -- Sheila Selkregg, Bill Starr: You're a commie! You're McCarthy! Is this the Anchorage Assembly, or a rollicking new sitcom, "That 50s Show?"

UP -- Rob Heun: Ex-APD chief nominated to be Alaska's US marshal. Once a cop, always a cop.

DOWN -- Levi Johnston: William Shatner skit has Playgirl pinup in a snit. C'mon, Levi, grow a sense of humor. And don't mess with Capt. Kirk.

UP -- Vic Kohring: Feds make sure convicted former lawmaker gets professional legal help now that he's sued his former lawyer.

DOWN -- Kohring's new lawyer: Good luck, counselor.
