One Alaskans reply to this upcoming meeting in Juneau:
“Funny how it’s in Juneau.
You said it was open for discussion on tearing up a BRAND NEW
road to widen it into a double passing lane.
Must have been in Juneau also. Juneau is a long way from Willow
and Talkeetna. They supposedly talked to locals, but all the
locals we told this to had NO knowledge of the expansion.
When asking questions to DOT, I kept getting the answer that they “don’t like to make passing lanes on corners”. Have you counted the passing lanes on corners from Caswell area to Wasilla?
It’s a
damn near new road with no holes and you are going to tear
it up. 
The road
to the north of the Caswell area has been NEGLECTED.
There is a RUT in the middle of the road, making it
HAZARDOUS to pass on the straight stretches. All because DOT
just putting a band aid over the top of a broken road and
never fixing it. They have this magical funding now and want
to waste it on a new road and won’t fix an OLD BROKEN one.
Instead DOT is worried about a passing lane that would be to
far apart from the others. How would we ever survive?! SMH.
Fix what’s
broken, quit wasting funds.
FOCUS!”
It’s getting real now.... Politadick
Wounded Knee was among the first federally backed gun confiscation attempts in United States history. It ended in the senseless murder of 297 people.
The Second Amendment, the right of the people to take up arms in defense of themselves, their families, and property in the face of invading armies or an oppressive government. The Second Amendment was written by people who fled oppressive and tyrannical regimes in Europe, and it refers to the right of American citizens to be armed for defensive purposes, should such tyranny arise in the United States.
Wounded Knee is the prime example of why the Second Amendment exists, and why we should vehemently resist any attempts to infringe on our Rights to Bear Arms. Without the Second Amendment we will be totally stripped of any ability to defend ourselves and our families. (Quora)
This is why we don’t give up our guns.... Politadick
It worked like a charm...... United We Stand! Politadick
Looks like they have hidden over half of my comments below today......
You have the laws SB91/54 that does nothing to stop the crime wave and
only has made it worse. Why do you refuse to do anything about it?
Who is paying you to keep this in place? What special interests in
Alaska have your ear on this issue? Hmmmm..... Maybe AFN????
You passed a
budget that did nothing to reduce the size of it and to get it done
in 90 Days means you have to pass as is instead of reducing the
budget. Manipulative legislation designed to increase the need to
take money from the ERA account
Oil revenue has increased. Production has increased. Instead of leaving the budget approved at last years levels and funding reductions. You are spending it as fast as you can and are Leveraging this the way you are to justify taking from the ERA. This is very dishonest manipulative way to be running government.
Claims of $700,000,000 Million increase from last years $4.2 Billion to $4.9 billion this year. Justify the $700 Million increase?
Why are you covering up the costs of healthcare that is nearly Half of the states Budget?
Where is the Bill HJR34 and why is it still in committee?
Passed a bill that is going to raise Insurance cost to the poorest of Alaskans. That sole purpose raises the revenue the insurance companies. How is that suppose to have been good for all Alaskans?
How can you claim you make cuts to the budget when they are accomplished buy not paying the full PFD and not paying the oil credits and using what you do not pay as being cuts?
$9 Billion Dollar Budget Approve last year and you spent $10.3 Billion. $10.2 Billion trying to be approved this year. What’re the cuts to the budget that was suppose to happen?
Why are you catering to lobbyist and special interests, over the Majority of Alaskans voices telling you to reduce the Budget?
School funding, came with no funding. You passed what you did to look good for the November Elections. Increase funding to schools Board Members and Facility Growth, but cut funding to teachers.
Wake up, Alaskans. While you were working or busy with your families, more people took the microphone to tell House Finance members to fund this or that - and that they'd be okay with an income tax - than the people who called in to urge members to reduce spending (90 were for more spending, 11 were for more reductions).
Remember, the governor’s proposed budget is HIGHER than last year’s and he wants a payroll tax and more than half your PFD over time.
Remember too that we've only reduced 3% of daily operations of the departments and agencies over the last 3 years - we are NOT at bare bones. Speak up and tell your friends and neighbors to speak up. Write House members. Write Senate members. Since the opportunity to call in to testify in the House on the budget is over, think now about making time to call in when the opportunity is scheduled in the Senate. (And today at 3:30pm you can call in to support the spending cap bill SB196 at – or dash off a note in support to SenateStateAffairs@akleg.gov. I’ll post call-in numbers in comment section.)
If you want a growing budget, new taxes, and increasing cuts to your PFD, stay silent. If not, speak up – and not just here in the comment section: speak up by contacting legislators (I’ll post emails in comment section too.)
[Added note: to be clear, for those who are good with a high budget and an income tax, you can speak up too. When I said "stay silent," I simply meant that the momentum is already going the direction you like.]
Guess all of the people following my page missed the announcements that I posted EVERY DAY last week......

Five minutes…??? It’ll start. Looks like they are dealing with things behind the scenes..... Politadick
Two in one Day..... Politadick
Sad the world has come to this.... Politadick
Knee jerk bill just like the one they are trying to get passed here. They will be seeing many lawsuits if this one passes..... Politadick
The money trail is endless when it comes to the Clintons...
“Plot with a Twist”
What a concept that a well armed society would become a better place....
Words cannot Express how mad this makes me.....
PolitadickI know Alaskans care.... So why is our local government not doing anything about this? They think passing more gun laws will fix everything..... When the drug market is what is fueling all the Crime happening here in Alaska.
Big Opioid Epidemic announcement by Governor “He Who Shall Not Be Named” with a press conference last year, that has produced 0 (Zero) results.
Plus he keeps trying to make deals with China, the worlds #1 supplier of Fentanyl...
