Will old debate complicate Anchorage's new trail-planning process?
I recently wrote a commentary for the Alaska Dispatch, which the editors headlined "Old battle scars revealed in Anchorage trail planning tussle."

THE CONTINUING SAGA OF HOUSE BILL 110
Another new year is upon us. And we all know what that means: political fun and games in Juneau.

Their fear is understandable. It can pass and should. 7/30 11:10 PM
March 25, 1911 was a glorious spring Saturday in New York City's Greenwich Village. About 600 workers at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory were just winding up the long workday sewing light cotton shirtwaists (fashionable high-necked blouses) when a fire broke out on the 8th floor. Within eighteen minutes the flames engulfed the top three floors of the ten story building. 3/26 9:17 PM
I'll get straight to it: The Knik bridge is an ego-driven boondoggle benefiting a handful of consultants and the legacy delusions of a few politicians. Let's think long-term and big picture: How does Alaska compete in the world economy? My hunch is that it's not by building bridges to swamps and farmland. 2/18 1:18 PM
