Alaska State Legislature has voted to DeFund Pick Click Give


 With the recent action of the State Senate and State House guess who will suffer the most that will be Alaska non profits.  Many people who have given to Alaska non profits in the past will not have that money to spare this year.  The legislatures voted to DeFund Pick Click Give.  I had to cut $25 from my normal $100 budget I use for pick click give.  Guess who was on the chopping block a Valdez Domestic violence shelter.  I will still give to them anyway just not through this program.  I will send a contribution anyway.  I have decided to continue my annual contribution to Big Brothers and Big Sisters Program, Northstar Community Foundation and World Eskimo Olympics.  The last two were chosen as my 2021 contribution to an Alaska non profits this year. 
Thanks Alaska State legislature you just voted to Defund Pick Click Give. 

Lyman Hoffman votes against his people in SW Alaska in a last minute effort to pass state budget


 Lyman Hoffman represents one of the poorest regions of the State of Alaska.  In a last minute effort he decided to tax his residents an additional $3k.  I guess his people who pay the highest gas prices, highest energy.  I guess giving them $3500 this year is not in the cards.  I wonder what the State Senate did to get his vote to tax his people an additional $3k.  Remember not all of your residents can not depend on native corporation dividends.  Remember the regional Bethel native corporations are not very rich.  Lyman it is time for you to be replaced by someone who will not tax you.  This person will that should replace must be a common sense Democrat since most Bush Alaskans will not vote for a Republican unless they have the last names Murkowski or Young.
