This delay and expense could be avoided if, like the state, Anchorage had ranked choice/instant runoff voting.

How much money was spent on items/school fees that should not have been allowed? And who should pay this money back?

Let’s work together to craft a bill that truly addresses the issues in our medical care system.

No offense, but I am amazed at the lack of imagination that exists in corporations and government in Alaska.

Anchorage will be in deep trouble if Suzanne LaFrance is elected mayor.

I have to wonder if Mayor Bronson would write an entirely different line if the sense of the Assembly was aligned with his nonpartisan sensibilities.

I was completely appalled by Dave Bronson’s ads. They were nasty and negative, always blaming someone or something else for things occurring in Anchorage.

That term has garnered political energy of late. On the surface, it purports to connect with disenfranchised people.

My suggestion would be to put the PFD at $0 until a fiscal plan is completed; perhaps this might motivate our politicians to do less talking and more working.

My boy’s fears were assuaged because of how kind and adept a stranger was at recognizing how important this slice of independence is.

They see this nation as a protector of the weak. We profess to believe we are a protector nation. Can you understand where our children got their ideas to try and stop this slaughter?

Come on, Anchorage, you can do better.

This mayoral election is about competence, not party affiliation.

Thank you, Dr. Zink, for having the dedication, the ability, the courage, and the humanity to come through for the people of the state of Alaska.

The recent ADN interview with our own Alaska hero, Dr. Anne Zink, retiring chief medical officer, should be read from every pulpit and discussed in every classroom.

Audit and fix the HR department, and the problem will be fixed.

Vote and mail your ballot today or tomorrow at the latest. Remember: The deadline is May 14.

In response to Brad Owens’ letter on “normal vs. woke,” I also wish the mayor and Assembly could get along, but there is a big ideological difference between the two.

As far as I’m concerned, “woke vs. normal” is the answer that blew the job interview.

Without the completion of the 2022 and 2023 audits, Anchorage stands to lose tens of millions of dollars in future federal grant funding.

Safeway management immediately responded and said they would look into this important service.

It is a complicated issue, and the response should be more nuanced than we are seeing from the progressives with whom we have aligned ourselves in the past.

If the Assembly truly believes their rezoning ordinance will produce more housing, then shouldn’t they welcome a process for the public to understand it and provide input?

It’s time to elect a mayor who is a true problem-solver and takes responsibility for getting things done rather than simply blaming others.

Bronson clearly demonstrated the old saying as correct: “When a debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.”
