Mandatory paid sick leave is a bad deal for Spokane's small business

Spokane's communist thinking City Council with its ruthless president Ben Stuckart and his gang of tyrants Amber Waldref, Johnny Snyder and Candace Mumm are again want to make Spokane not a place small business should practice business.  Mandatory paid sick leave will not allow a business the quality of their employees.  Government should not be in process of telling a business how to operate their business.  If an employee can not come into work they have a family health issue.  Most business will adjust to that employee's family concerns if the employee is a good asset to the company.  Some employees will abuse this as well to get paid time and not work.  Since these policies are using built in way you can not fire the employee on sick leave.  You are paying an unproductive employee.  I get that if you have a sick child you need to be home to take care of that child.  What happened to asking family members to take care of your sick child or friends who have flexible schedules.  Government should never get involved in personnel decisions of a business.  This policy will drive away small business away from Spokane.  Remember it is the small businesses that make a local economy great not the big businesses.  They employee more workers then the big business.  Remember the major cost of a business is labor when government raises that cost you have to either lay off an employee or raise prices.  Usually most business will choose to lay off versus raise prices.  Please tell Spokane's communist council no paid sick leave for Spokane's small business.

Need to show Homer's Paul Seaton and Fairbanks's Click Bishop the door

Any legislator that proposes an income tax as away to collect revenue for the State of Alaska needs to be shown the door.  Homer residents need to vote out Paul Seaton in the next election and Fairbanks residents need to vote out Click Bishop.  They voted for them not take more money away from the people these legislators are not acting Republican they are acting like Democrats.  Please tell these legislature to stop the idea of proposing an income tax.  Legislatures need to reduce the budget and radically trim spending not come up with new ways of pocketing revenue to justify their drunken sailor spending way.

Congrats to Duke men's Basketball Team and Uconn Women's Basketball Team

Congrats Duke Men's Basketball and University of Connecticut Women's Basketball Teams in their perform and victories in the NCAA basketball tournament.  I originally supported Gonzaga men and women basketball teams.  I am also glad that Eastern Washington University made it even though they got eliminated early.  I was hoping the Wisconsin and Notre Damme would have won in the finals.  I guess the best teams win.  I guess there is always the 2016 season. 

It is official the final candidates for Anchorage's Mayor Race are Demboski vs Berkowitz

It is official for the two candidates for the Anchorage borough mayor election on May 5th are Amy Demboski and Ethan Berkowitz.  There is a clear choice.  One believes that to solve a problem there is a program you can create to solve it.  The other believes in choice you should be allowed to make your own decisions.  

Amy Demboski believes that government should not be the solution for every situation.  She also believes you should have choice in how you live your life as long as you do not endanger someone's life and liberty in the process.  She also believes in fiscal accountability and allowing the non profits to take a role in dealing with social issues.  Imagine if the Downtown Soup Kitchen could help the chronic drunk situation with their religious values and not have the government intervene in that. 

Ethan Berkowitz believes if you want to solve a problem a government program solves the problem.  Let's not be accountable for our spending.  Let's get more money for the taxpayers not allow the taxpayer to decide who gets be winners or losers.  Let's waist the money then ask for more.  Kind of reminds me of that orphan who keeps asking for more not satisfied with what they got.  He is Mark Begich on steroids.
