Knik Arm Bridge

When you invite auditors into your business, it is always a good idea to make sure that their assumptions and your assumptions match. Such is the problem with the Legislative Audit Agency’s audit of the proposed Knik Arm Bridge that was so gleefully reported by the local fish wrapper and democrats in opposition to it last week.

Let Them Eat Cake

Our Federal Masters a couple weeks ago announced that there would be no road through the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge to connect King Cove with the Cold Bay Airport. Obama’s Loathsome Cowboy Ken Salazar did the deed. Predictably, the Alaska congressional delegation went apoplectic. But, as usual, the back story is more interesting.

Can The New City Clerk Figure Out How To Use MS Word?

Ok, so Anchorage has hired a new clerk.  Is it too much to ask that the new clerk crack the cutting edge technology that is MS Word?  Don't worry. This isn't going to be a long rant, and this isn't huge issue, but it does bother me.

A Statute and a Pledge

Alaska faces a comparable and equally dire fiscal crisis to that which has developed at the federal level. Due to current excessive state government spending, future Alaskans are facing a lower standard of living than present day Alaskans. As a consequence, Alaska needs its own state level statute restricting excessive spending and may benefit from a pledge to support it.
