The 49th Estate is our answer to MTV's "Cribs," a weekly tour of Alaska homes and interviews with their owners. |
Much of what Deborah Brollini believes in can be traced to her appreciation of home -- not just in the physical sense, but what a home means financially, emotionally and practically. Brollini is a volunteer for the teen shelter Covenant House and an advocate for energy independence. She's a founding member of Alaska Energy Dudes and Divas, a group of citizens concerned about the state's primary industry. Brollini believes the first sign of a tanking economy is a decline in home values (including her own), and jobs -- particularly oil and mining jobs -- are what's needed to boost Alaska's financial stability.
Each week, The 49th Estate takes a look inside a different Alaska home. Alaska Dispatch does not endorse the views or opinions expressed by the subjects of these videos. If you have an interesting Alaska home you think we'd like to see, e-mail jcanfield(at)tundratelegraph.com.
