Anyone can win the West Anchorage Assembly race

Due to the fact we have three great candidates to the Anchorage Assembly to represent Turnagain, Spenard and Sand Lake area.  Ira Perman who is Ernie Hall's choose to replace him.  We have Adam who wants to return to the assembly and then Eric Croft who wants to continue to carry the water for Ethan Berkowitz.  He needs to go back to the private sector not keep the assembly working against the people.  Eric Croft is someone who as a Recycled Democrat on the school board was responsible for the irresponsible spending on the school board.  Please vote for Adam Trombley on April 5th and return normal back to Anchorage.

If you are on public assistance one basic cell phone should be allowed

If you are on public assistance only one basic cell phone should be allowed.  You can only make local calls with it.  No data streaming, No internet.  This is a luxury.  I have a business I pay nearly 300 to 500 dollars a month this luxury.  Government should not giving data to lazy people.  We also need to no longer allow this benefit to any state or municipality that has a minimum wage above $10 an hour exception is Alaska and Hawaii at $12 an hour.  This emphasizes work first.  In Alaska wants to do this benefit then native corporations should be required to pay a portion of any public assistance to members of their tribe to an Alaskan native to receive this subsidy.  Village corporations like Sea Lion who can afford to operate Alaska's largest cab company and many other investments should be required to pay tribal benefits out of their profits.  We need to amend Alaska Native Claim Settlement act to include Alaska native subsidies. 

Smart people will vote no on Anchorage road bond in April Municipal election

Smart Anchorage citizens will be voting no on the Anchorage road bond.  Here is why in Proposition 5 contains the Spenard Road project.  This project will not preserve the historical significance of the region.  It will cause more traffic tie up.  This is part of Ethan Berkowitz's plan in his Strategies 360 manifesto.  Anchorage does not need more bike lanes unless the bike community wants to pay for them.  You can preserve the historical significance of this road by voting no on this project.  If my hometown of Snoqualmie did without taxpayer dollars then so can Spenard. The bottom picture is Spenard road.  The two top pictures are pictures of my hometown of Snoqualmie.  Top one is in 2012 the other one was in 1970. 

RV Parks want to be like the Anchorage cab industry

RV Parks want to be the only game in the city.  Anchorage has message just like it has with the cab industry.  Clean up your park.  If you go to Golden Nugget Trailer and RV Park and Midtown RV Park also a trailer park.  It looks like World War II.  Walmart, Cabela's and Fred Meyer's parking lots are clean and maintained.  You might also want to call this the Richard Lobdell, Jr no overnight camping ordinance.  He used to have a starting intro to all the RV's in the South Anchorage Walmart parking lot.  By the way they go to explore and then leave for days at a time.  Please tell Elvi Gray-Jackson lets tell these RV park clean it up because Walmart cleans there's daily.  These is proper disposal at these locations as well as the RV Park.  If the RV Parks want to be like Cab industry let's limit how many parks we can have and then permit them then add a park by permit auction just like the cab industry. 

Margaret Stock is an obstructionist not a team player

Margaret Stock I guess the constitution is only good to you if the event goes your way.  Lisa Murkowski position was the same in 2007 as today.  Republicans just like the Democrats want an up or down vote on nominees.  The major leadership including major candidates on the GOP presidential field would like this position to remain vacant.  Unlike other position like a cabinet.  Barack Obama can not do a recess appointment to this position because it is a constitutional position to another branch of government.  This is a lifetime appointment.  This is kind of like the Hall of Fame in Major Sports.  Once you put a person here they stay until death or they decide they can no longer do it.  Most of the time it is death that decide this position.  This is also kind of like the Pope of the Catholic Church.  Maybe since you are running an Independent candidacy you need to talk to Bill Walker at the Alaska Governor's Mansion.  In Alaska you need the Alaska native vote.  No Native vote you do not win. 

We need to plan a Alaska state budget on $10 a barrel

It is time we plan a Alaska state budget based on $10 a barrel.  If there is extra revenue it gets put in a rainy day for a lean budget year and put to increase permanent fund dividends that year.  No extra stuff that are not needed.  Municipalities need to learn to take care of themselves not depending on the state footing the bill.We need to reduce services requires some welfare recipients to pay their own way.  Basic education for school funding and then the local taxpayers of a school district must pick up the rest. 

Amy Demboski unlike other municipal leaders gives a message to state lawmakers

While the majority of state lawmakers are going to Juneau asking for free goodies.  I think she decided to sneak in her suitcase a meat cleaver to give to lawmakers. She is saying cut the fat may give Anchorage what they really want is tax rebate instead having Fairbanks and the rest of the state pay it stuff we do not need.  This is why Eagle River and Chugiak you need to keep this lady.  We need this more in our lawmakers instead of please of give me.  State coffers are not meant go to irresponsible school boards like the Anchorage School District.  Most members of the Alaska Municipal League are asking for a state income tax.  Many lawmakers want a portion of your permanent fund dividend to fund state government.  Cut services which there is plenty there.  Chugiak and Eagle River voters vote to reelect Amy Demboski on April 5th.

Begich family convinces Blake Merrifield to drop out of assembly race

Begich family was able to convince Blake Merrifield to drop out of the Assembly race.  Mark Begich wants to come back into municipal politics by using the nephew card.  Eagle River and you are better than this you can continue to send the Begich family to the garbage can by keeping Amy Demboski as your assemblywoman. Vote to keep Amy Demboski as your assembly on April 5th

East Anchorage you have a clear choice for Assembly

Terre Gales is someone who actually fits this district.  His diverse background fits the district.  He believes in lower taxes.  Accountability in the Anchorage School District.  He will also listen to the voters in East Anchorage.  His Samoan heritage actually benefits the most diverse neighborhoods in East Anchorage especially the Mountain View neighborhood.  If you elect Terre he will be the hardest working assemblyman that East Anchorage has.  If he does not have an answer he will come back to you and get the answer.  East Anchorage we need an assembly member who actually listen not just gives lip service.  We currently have two Democrats in the Anchorage Assembly one is named Paul Honeman and the other is Pete Petersen the Bernie Sanders of the Anchorage Assembly.  The alternative is Forrest "Gump" Dunbar who was Nancy Pelosi's pick for congress for Alaska. 

Obama administration is forcing a Missouri town to reform their police department

Obama's racist justice department with their racist attorney general Loretta Lynch has decided to file a lawsuit against a small town Ferguson, Missouri.  Taxpayers in Ferguson can not afford these measures the Justice department has recommended.  This racist justice department does not care.  They believe only black lives matter.  They are a bunch of racist.  No town should be forced to do the recommendations unless you are willing to give the community the money.  Remember Michael Brown caused his own death by refusing to surrender to the officer.  Remember Michael resisted arrest.  The shooting was justified.  Remember all lives matter not just the black ones.  Please support the Ferguson City Council and tell this administration they can stick it. 

Anchorage Midtown, Airport Heights and Abbott Loop it is time to Fire Dick Triani

It is time for change in the Anchorage Assembly we need to fire Dick Traini he is a fake Republican who often plays with liberal Democrats.  We need a real person for the Assembly that is Ron Alleva.  Ron Alleva will listen to voters and constituents in his district.  He will advocate clean up of social agencies.  We need someone who will hold city agencies accountable.  With Ron Alleva on the assembly Beans Cafe will have to take him more seriously.  As a business neighbor he knows there true situation. April 5th vote for Ron Alleva and give Dick Triani the boot

The reason the Alaska House and Senate does not take the Democrat Olive branch

This post is a response to Shannyn Moore's twist babble she spots off.  When the olive branch the Alaska Democrat Party offers has thorns you say thanks but no thanks.  This branch has thorns of higher taxes, no accountability, more welfare less industry and no responsibility.  Remember when you are in charge of the purse you set the policy.  Alaska Governor Bill Walker may be the elected governor in Juneau here is the truth he can not make a policy with first asking Ethan Berkowitz permission first.  The pretend governor actually eight floor of Anchorage's city hall across from the Andrew Halcro inmate center aka know as the People Mover bus station.  Reject any idea from the Alaska Democrat Party there is always a hidden agenda inside.

GOP controlled US Senate your job is approve a supreme court justice

GOP Controlled US Senate.  Americans have a message you need to approve Barack Obama's nominees with an up or down vote.  We should not be playing politics with this issue.  He submits a name you decide ya or nay that is no other craziness.  I do not want Patty Murray as majority leader.  

Barack Obama we have a perfect candidate for the supreme court

Barack Obama there is a perfect candidate for the US Supreme court.  She was the former governor of the State of Washington her name is Chris Gregiore.  She would make the Pacific Northwest proud if you nominate her as a Supreme Court justice.  You could also do what George W Bush did change who is the Chief justice make her the chief justice as well.  She has a law degree.  Please make Washingtonians proud nominate Chris Gregiore for Supreme Court justice. 

Eagle River and Chugiak do not let Mark Begich back in municipal government

Eagle River and Chugiak please take this invasion seriously.  Mark Begich wants back in municipal government.  He has deployed the nephew card.  His name is Nick Begich the 3rd.  This is a famous family.  His dad is a famous scientist who has conservative leanings more in the libertarian leaning do not be fooled.  Liberals have assaulted Amy Demboski since she first step in the Assembly.  We can not let them defeat the hardest working assemblywoman on the assembly.  Please Eagle River and Chugiak reject the Mark Begich agenda retain Amy Demboski send the Mark Begich agenda packing.  Vote April 5th for Amy Demboski to remedy your self of this menace.

Eagle River and Chugiak you need to keep Amy Demboski working for you

Eagle River and Chugiak you have a public servant working for you.  She is the hardest working woman on the Assembly.  Amy Demboski deserves your support.  She really cares about her community.  She listens to people and takes advice.  Sometimes her comments can be controversial however this makes her unique.  She does get things done.  She just like Bill Starr will call a person on the carpet if they are being stupid.  She did get Beans Cafe cleaned up with her comment on the Spice ordinance.  This mama grizzly will stand up for you.  She provides solutions she amazed voters last year by being in the finals last year in the Anchorage mayors race when nobody predicted it.  This blog really made that possible.  We may have lost city hall but not people's will.  She loves Anchorage and will continue to work hard in Eagle River.  Do not let Mark Begich take that away. Vote April 5th to keep Amy Demboski as your assemblywoman keep good representation

Downtown Anchorage will not be safer under Ethan's actual solution

Here is a collection of Downtown Anchorage pictures I put together.  To really understand how Ethan Berkowitz really works you must under the Strategies 360 manifesto.  This group is a progressive group who's real mission is to make thing worse than they really are.  First of all he does not want to address this problem because by having the homeless sleep all over the place gives him permanent voters.  He has learned this lesson by taking online course from the University of Screw the citizen which he watches daily from Professor Ed Murray the Mayor of Seattle and Professor Charles Hales the Mayor of Portland.  Sometimes he listens to lectures from Seattle's most aggressive socialist Kshama Sawant.  His actual policy for dealing with the homeless is to have a coordinator throw toilet paper at them.  Occasionally get them Golden Donuts.  They will find shelter in two places in the Berkowitz plan it is called the hospital or the jail.  Here is a real solution to this problem you create tax incentives for private religious non profits to house these people.  Give the Anchorage Downtown Partnership and private security firms the power of arrest.  Look into the backgrounds if they are from Anchorage after awhile you send them to their village in Alaska send that tribal council the bill.  Blue Tickets unless medical reason they are kicked out of town.  This solution will never be used due to fact not in Strategies 360 manifesto.  He would rather allow them to camp in tents everywhere.  Remember Oldtown Portland, Nicklesville this is his idea of housing the homeless.  Majority of the homeless in Anchorage are Alaskan Native, Veterans and mentally ill.  If you also look at addiction which part of the mental illness.  Under the Strategies 360 manifesto they believe mentally ill have more rights than you do. Tent cities are his solution you squat you have rights.  Here is a policy shelter or jail no other alternatives.  

Sanders and Trump leading early in the New Hampshire Primary

Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump lead early in the New Hampshire with less than 25 percent of the precincts reporting.  Delegate count is very close in the Democrat field the Republican delegate count is undetermined.  We have very close in 2nd place the first loser on the stage in the GOP are John Kasich, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.  We will see at more results come in. 

Who wins in the New Hampshire primary the voter does?

The contest for the New Hampshire primary is wide open.  On the GOP side the winner could be Ted Cruz, The Donald Trump, Marco Rubio.  Sorry Chris Christie an asterisk can not win.  We do not want your New Jersey failures on America.  

Democrat side Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton could be a close between two socialist.  We shall see tonight.

Please support Bob Lynn's bill to get Alaskan wrongfully convicted criminals money back

In Alaska if you are incarcerated within the calendar of the Permanent Fund Dividend you are ineligible to receive therefore the state must deny your request.  Rep Bob Lynn's bill changes that.  Normally I do not advocate spending taxpayers money for people.  If you are unjustly convicted and the court overturns your conviction then the State of Alaska should pay the amount of the permanent fund dividends you would had received for those years.  If this bill is retroactive and applies to the Fairbanks Four each one could start with an additional extra $20K  to 30K from the state to restart their life.  Yes each would get the $3200 dividend in 2008 that was given in September of 2008.   Please contact your legislature and support Bob Lynn's bill of HB 243.  It is the right thing to do.

Different name same mission to a Cle Elum business association

As reported in the January 21, 2016 North Kittitas County Tribune.  Vision Cle Elum has changed its name to the Cle Elum Downtown Association.  Mission is still the same to promote Cle Elum as a place to do business and to vacation.  This association will also help welcome new residences and new business.  This association will continue to plan events like the annual Pioneer Days festival around the 4th of the July weekend.  I suggest if you want to do business or go on vacation come to Cle Elum.  I did recently.  I also graduated at the local high school back in 1990.  Please patronize the business they are friendly.  Remember the town you always dreamed up or Mayberry.  You will find it in Cle Elum.  It may be 2015 the friendliness of the town will remind you of 1955. 

Chip Kelly and the San Francisco 49ers please release Colin from his contract

San Francisco 49ers fans are asking Chip Kelly and the 49ers to release Colin Kaepernick from his contract.   They really want Johnny Manziel because Chip could use him in his system.  Remember Chip used to the University of Oregon head coach.  The truth is Chip really would like to send this piece of garbage to Nashville get his friend Marcus Mariota as his quarterback at a discounted price.  Imagine Mariota a 49ers and Colin a Titan.  March 9th release Colin you will do your franchise good

Real truth of Flint Water crisis

Here is the problem with most major Michigan cities is the fact the Democrat Party has been in charge of the infrastructure of the city.  Due to fiscal mismanagement Republican Governor Rick Snyder was asked by local officials to install a city manager.  Flint's water crisis was due to Democrat mismanagement and overspending they were not able to give the citizens the attention to the city the water it needed.  It was too busy overspending on social services.  Want to blame for Flint's water crisis look at your local leadership and your ability not govern correctly.  Overspending caused Flint's water crisis not a governor administration in Lansing. 

My Grandma could have written novels during her retirement years

My Grandma Carter who retired from the Seattle School District in 1981 due to my Granddad Russ health issues she could have written many novels during her retirement.  While being Granddad Russ's care giver and after she has decided to continue to entertainment her children and grandchildren for years to come.  She had a room which was kind of an everything room in that Seattle house.  She did have a typewriter in the study which was an everything room.  Her grandchildren like myself to practice typing and back in 1994 when I was coming back from Olympia to Spokane due to fact I had a job interview in Lacey at Western Library Network.  I asked to have the interviewer sooner so I would not have come back from Spokane to the law firm of Preston, Gates and Ellis in their law library. I had two take two additional days off used that typewriter to prepare my resume.  Now also the Marion boys were not into auto mechanics like the rest of the grand kids.  We fit the true nerds of the family.  Fixing cars was not in the Marion DNA but making mischief was.  Her other grandchildren wondered if the Marion boys were the lost girl grandchildren she was looking for.  I was very close to Tammy who was the tomboy of the group.  The Marion boys would play Barbies with Karianne the others thought is was disgusting.  I guess that typewriter is kind of this blog 20 years prior to this existence.  Thanks Grandma for the inspiration now this blog 470 later been read over 85,000 times in the past 4 years.  It has also influenced many races in a four state region it serves.  It has been a joyful.  To think it started in a study in Seattle in the 1980's.  

There is no GOP front runner just the top three Cruz, Rubio and the Donald

As of yesterday's Iowa Caucuses there are only three candidates that are in the top tier they are Ted Cruz the Iowa Caucus winner, The Donald and Marco Rubio.  Then there is Ben Carson who is waiting for a screw up of the upper three.  Then four morons who deserve to be at the kiddie table that is Jeb Bush nobody wants this moron, Carly Fiorina the failed HP executive, John Kasich the alien loving governor of Ohio who needs to go back to Ohio and Rand Paul who just like his daddy nobody liked either.  I guess unless you are for Cruz, Trump and Rubio you have a snowballs chance in hell of getting the GOP nod.  As everybody goes to the Granite state we shall see who wins that primary.  

Could the Democrat nomination be down to the wire just like in 2008

Back in 2008.  Every analyst thought that Hillary Clinton was going to be nominee then came this black man named Barack Obama that charmed the electorate eventually he won the nomination we got 8 years of this moron.  Could the 2016 Democrat race go down that level especially we have Freddie Munster also known as Bernie Sanders who in Washington state had a black robe would be required to retire.  This could be interesting considering race.  This would be real interesting if Hillary gets indicted due to the Bengazi scandal.  Who will be the nominee or better yet what idiot will emerge here. 

Hillary Clinton wins Iowa Caucus by the narrowest margin in Democrat history

Hillary Clinton yesterday won the Iowa Caucuses against Freddie Munster who in real life is known as Bernie Sanders by just a few votes separate these clowns.  Now we know that Hillary is more conservative than Bernie who is a complete socialist.  Iowans like most Americans believe in common sense not stupid sense which is what Bernie will provide Americans.  Democrats need to choose who is the best idiot to represent them.  Considering they both belong in a mental ward.  Which idiot is best the crazy Freddie Munster dude who in a black robe in Washington State would be forced to retire or the lady who belongs in an orange jump suit that reads Inmate.  I say Democrats chose your idiot.
