Anchorage School Board member falsely claims to served during Vietnam War era


Recently at an event Starr Marsett current school board member claimed to served during Vietman War era.  There is one problem.  Starr did not enlist til 1976.  Guess what fall of Saigon was in 1975.  Which means guess what sorry did not serve during Vietnam.  Just like recently she stated it is easier to replace a teacher than an administrator.  She also wants higher class sizes.  You want a school board member that tell the truth vote David Nees.  He is straight forward, honest and tells it like it is. 

Responsible drinkers should not be responsible to pay the cost of housing Anchorage homeless

In this years municipal election our mayor and greedy assembly members have decided that responsible bar drinkers and people who go to the liquor should help pay for the behavior of homelessness.  Alcohol may a symptom that could help contribute to homelessness not the root cause.  Mental illness is the main reason for homeless.  Bad choices, economic circumstances, loss of job for a long period of time.  We also have programs that can tackle this especially for homeless students like Kids Kitchen, Children in Transition and the Boys and Girls Club.  The average age of homeless is age 9.  To make responsible drinkers pay for the misbehavior is not right.  It is like if a kid acts up do you punish the whole class or the kid who caused the behavior.  You punish the class they get mad go after the kid who caused the problem.  Same thing happens here.  Anchorage has spent over about 5 million on this problem in the past 5 years.  1 million on a homeless coordinator the result has been zero result.  Seattle in the past 30 years has spent half of million dollars using ever couch cushion to throw at the problem with no result.  I do want to go to a business have to navigate a tent to get there.  Politicians say they have the right to be there.  This is happening in San Francisco and Seattle there streets smell like Venice or any other European city.  They have an excuse they have around for a thousand years.  I suggest vote no Proposition 9.  Anchorage could allow non profits to set the rules to dealing with homeless.  Fire a homeless coordinator.  Make panhandling illegal.  Requirement immediately removal of a homeless camps.  Jail can also be option.  Get government out of the homeless business.  Do not make responsible drinkers pay for the behavior of a few people.
