Every public school district inlcuding state governments should cut ties to public broadcasting

Kudos to Spokane Public Schools for no longer funding KSPS television.  You know Public Broadcasting says they are supported by donations.  Then government needs to stop funding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.  They do not fund MSNBC, CBS, ABC and Fox News so why do they fund PBS.  The Socialist Republic of Washington needs to stop funding KCTS, Tacoma Public Schools needs to stop funding KTPS and the Socialist Republic of Oregon should stop funding Oregon Public Broadcasting.  Alaska State government should stop funding the Alaska Public Radio and Public Television and native corporations should fund it in Alaska's rural villages and stop fund ARCS (Alaska Rural Communications System).  Please contact your lawmakers get government out of the public broadcasting business.

Here is an idea Bainbridge Island City Council on passenger transport parking at ferry dock

Hey Bainbridge Island city council.  Why not increase a parking lot east of the terminal allow taxis, shuttle bus and transit bus to park their.  Passengers can walk their to get the transportation.  Have more lanes for private vehicles to get on the ferry then people walk to a parking lot to catch transportation.  This is make it easier for people to board the ferry.  You make the Washington State Ferry people happy, taxis, shuttle bus and also more room for private vehicle.  Try this Bainbridge Island move the transportation parking to another parking lot.

Where is Valerie Sifsof?

 Here is a picture I took last month of her wanted poster at the Anchorage Transit Center on 6th Avenue in Downtown Anchorage

July 11, 2012 Valerie Sifsof was last seen at the Granite Creek campground south of Anchorage at Mile 64 of the Seward Highway between Anchorage and Indian.  She was last seen wearing a black sweatshirt type jacket with blue sweatpants, wearing black boots.  She is 43 years old, 5ft 5inches tall weighing 120 lbs.  She has black hair and brown eyes.  She is the aunt of well known Olympic snowboarder Callan Chythlook-Sifsof of Girdwood.  

There is a $27,100 reward being offered for an information relating to Valerie's disappearance please call the Alaska State Troopers office in Girdwood at (907) 783-0972.  Her case reference number is AK12219013 or you can call the Alaska Bureau of Investigation Missing Persons Clearing House in Alaska at (800) 478-9333 or (907) 269-5497.  you can also check the website at  http://valeriesifsof.blogspot.com/  Please pray that we find closure in this case soon.  Since this is in Alaska's back country we may not find her or her remains for a while.  I am hoping that she decided to take shelter in a cabin near by has not been able to reach somebody.  Please help the Alaskan Native community find her along with her family.

Federal judge upholds Leavenworth's right to make business design with a Bavarian theme

I am glad the Federal judge has stated that Leavenworth can tell business they must design their buildings with Bavarian theme.  This makes the town more attractive and helps for visitors.  I understand that have the designed in this manner may make the business more expensive.  Many tourist come to Leavenworth every year to see the Bavarian theme and it has kept the town alive.  Another town that was also facing the same fate was North Bend my hometown in 1968 their city council also adopted the Bavarian theme.  However unlike Leavenworth, North Bend to ask businesses to voluntarily adopt the Bavarian theme.  Most business in downtown North Bend chose to do it.  North Bend has been better for this action.  Both Leavenworth and North Bend has seen better growth since they converted their downtown cores.  If you do not comply with Leavenworth's Bavarian theme they have your business elsewhere.

How about require a user fee for small neighborhood municipal parks instead of taxing everybody for them

Yes Parks are beautiful for a city.  Should tax money be used to make a park beautiful when not everyone is using it.  This could also be for bike paths as well.  As a former employee of Spokane Center from 1992-1995 while attending college at Spokane Falls Community College.  If a park is used a lot like Spokane's Riverfront Park then do not charge for that because everybody goes there.  This would also go for the Delaney Park Strip and Cuddy Midtown Park in Anchorage. Green Lake Park, Seward Park, Magnolia Park, Seattle Center in Seattle where a lot people use the park then do not charge if a small neighborhood park then charge to use and volunteers should maintain it not the taxpayers.

Physical address should be required when filing for office

When filing for political office unless it is for federal office.  Physical address should be required when file for state legislature, state senate, county commissioner, borough assembly and city council so residency can be verified.  It seems I see a lot of filing with just PO Boxes only come on are you ashamed where you live.  The main reason for this blog I have a feeling the Democrats recruited Former 3rd district liberal democrat Dennis Dellwo to run in a normally Republican leaning district.  Since the Washington Moron Democrats hijacked the Redistricting Committee since they put Cheney and Medical Lake in 6th district which has Democrat pockets in these cities could water down the district.

If a person put up false allegations against a public person

If a person trump a false accusation against a public person.  They should be required to pay for a one page ad in daily newspaper or 5 30 second radio commercials or 2 30 second television ads to apologize to the official.  If a national official they must buy advertising on one major network and one cable network like MTV.  If it is a political party they must purchase time on the opposition cable network.  If it is a Democrat you must purchase time on Fox News and Republican you have use MSNBC.
