Attorney General Treg Taylor acts not as the attorney for Alaskans, but as the governor’s Roy Cohn to do his bidding.
How much will SeaShare be paid for “administrative fees?” I hope Alaska fishers will pose these questions to their state legislators.
The state should not exacerbate the misuse of public funds for correspondence schools by misusing more public funds for legal fees to appeal a sound decision.
Alaskans should welcome the result of the present lawsuit, albeit a decade late.
To be clear, I do not support and have never supported public funds intended for public education to go private and religious schools.
Joining the Nurse Licensure Compact is smoke and mirrors, disguising dangerous working conditions and calling it a workforce shortage.
The total annual health care spending is more than $3.6 trillion annually. Administrative costs make up 73% of that total.
Is there a statewide plan for emergency response to restore critical communications? The simple answer is no.

As Ruedrich said, “Advancing to Congressional leadership is critical in achieving Alaska’s goals.” Re-electing Peltola is our best bet to achieve that.
Proposed SB 255 has no concrete language, and harsh monetary punishments, and is wide open for interpretation by law enforcement officers.
I was a student at Inlet View through the 1980s and can attest that the south-facing classrooms were immensely more pleasant than those on the other side of the building.
Pelota certainly has my vote, and according to Mr. Ruedrich’s reasoning, she should have yours as well.
Even many Republicans seem to be fed up with the situation and I won’t be surprised if Ms. Peltola becomes a “meaningful member of the majority,” perhaps sooner rather than later.
