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.

Thoughts on Education Vouchers

Last November’s election was a watershed for Alaska. Not only do we have the opportunity to overturn the stunning mistake made during the Palin years of gouging North Slope oil producers with a dangerously high tax rate, but we have a conservative majority in the legislature that is willing to address other festering issues. One of those issues is education.

Mr. Begich Goes to Juneau

Our Boy Senator made his yearly address to the Alaska Legislature a couple weeks ago. In it, he fired the first rounds in defense of the seat he won after the leftist lawyers in the (In)Justice Department wrongly convicted Ted Stevens in 2008.

Wastewater Discharge

Clean water and clean air standards have long been a large caliber club used by greens to beat businesses, state and local governments about the head and shoulders. They offer the perfect opportunity to demagogue anything that is released into the watershed or the atmosphere, for who could possibly be against clean air or clean water.

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.

Lower Standards & The Alaska GOP

The question must be asked, “Why does Chairman-Elect Russ Millette not have to meet the same standards he will be enforcing on candidates?”

 

Six years ago Alaska Republicans had had enough. They were tired of candidates for state office flip-flopping between political parties based on which way the electoral winds were blowing.

 

You might call this the Menard phenomena since Linda and Curt Menard made this wavering a regular practice during their long public careers in the Mat-Su.

Ultimate Goal of the Ron Paul Contingent?

Last weekend, I attended my first party convention. I signed up because it was time to stand up and defeat Barak Obama for reelection and elect a conservative majority to both houses of the state legislature. I expected conservatives to band together and ready themselves for the fight. What I got was Occupy Ron Paul, a bunch of Paulians acting like democrats.

Cell Phone Ban for Teens - The Camel's Nose Under the Tent

Berta Gardner's cell phone ban for teen drivers is the gateway drug for a complete ban of cell phone use on state roads.

What is it about democrats and liberty? Why do they always, invariably, every single time go after freedom of action and empower the state at the cost of responsibility.

The Conscience of Murkowski

Well, true colors don't fade for long. Lisa Murkowski, one of Alaska's two senators, seemed capable of grasping the implications of the Blunt Admendment last week when she enjoyed local press coverage of her vote in support of it.
