All of the nations museums need to sold to private non profit foundations

When the government has no budget like on Tuesday, October 1st, 2013 national monuments are closed.  Let's sell these national monuments to non profit charities like the World War II memorial, Smithsonian and Washington Monuments.  Major non profit veterans groups could purchase or operate monuments instead of the United States Government.  We could pay off some debt to fund other essential areas of the government like our troops.

We need to repeal the 27th amendment of the United States Constitution

One of the main jobs of congress, President is come up with a budget.  We need to not pay lawmakers for not doing their job.  We need to pay lawmakers like they do in Iowa at the end of the session.  No budget no pay.  Please tell your congressman, US Senator no budget no pay.  Kudos to Ted Cruz, Mike Enzi, Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Suzan Delbene for donating their pay others need to do the same. 

Spokane baristas the community has a message for you cover up or go find another job

Spokane Baristas unless your drive thru coffee stand is next to a strip club you need to cover up because family and small children by your stand they do not want to see your cleavage or sex symbols.  You do not need to show your cleavage to sell coffee.  If you can not sell coffee with good customer service and great smile then find another job.  Now if you do not want to cover up many strip clubs will gladly hire you. 

We have an ordinance that everyone can get on board here in Anchorage to make taxis and dispatch accountable

Recently on Wednesday, September 18th, 2013 Dick Triani released in a public safety committee meeting an ordinance that will provide better quality for taxis and serve the Anchorage Public better.  Ordinance 2013-109 which the author of this blog Mark Kim Marion made a major contribution former Alaska Yellow Cab dispatcher.  This December 3, 2013 this was passed by the Anchorage Assembly.  It defines a taxi cab.  It will require annual survey of whether they need to be more cabs.  This will be conducted by the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce.  Keeps the Anchorage Transportation Commission oversight necessary for the Anchorage taxi industry to succeed.  There will be more cabs each year.  If the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce tourist are up 20 percent then 20 new permits are needed.  if tourism is down or not an increase no new permits will be needed.  Growth will continue.  Eagle River will representation on commission and the handicap will have a representative.  One of the commissioners must live in the Chugiak and Eagle River area.  Read Spokane Title 10 Section 34 most of the ordinance is in the ordinance.  Customers must ride in the back seat.  Drivers can not communicate on a cell phone unless to dispatch or to emergency authorities when a customer is in the car.  All trips except for Anchorage Airport must be dispatched.  Driver can not refuse a trip unless the customer is a problem to the driver.  Dispatch must document all problems drivers and customers have.  Transportation Inspection must be able to dial into dispatch computer to verify every thing the dispatch has been documented.  Dispatch must dispatch closest cab that fits the criteria of the customer.  Cab driver must carry an infant, toddler and baby seats in the car not an option.  Drivers may only refuse a customer if customer gives driver a rotten attitude, refuses to state destination, had previous problem with customer and does not have fare to pay at the start of destination and must refuse politely and if they feel customer is a threat to driver safety.  If a driver refuses a customer.  They must notify dispatch why they refused and the reason.  Dispatch can not electronically put a cab out of service without approval from the Transportation Inspector.  Dispatcher must take first responder training from the Anchorage Police Department.  Cab driver can not refuse a short trip.  If a cab is dispatch from Muldoon for an short Eagle River trip they have to go get the trip or face the consequences from the Anchorage Transportation Inspector.  Phone number unless customer voluntarily gives it out are not allowed to be given to a cab driver.  If a dispatcher gives out a telephone number to a driver a penalty will occur to the Dispatch company and possibly the dispatcher gave it out against Dispatch company policy.  Dispatcher could be fined and dispatch company could take action against employee if they so choose.  Dispatch companies could do like cab companies in Spokane can choose to contract their call takers with an answering service.  Anchorage example is Sicily's Pizza they answer phones for more than just Sicily's Pizza.  They also answer calls for China Garden and other business in town above their Spenard location.  Cab companies can employ just dispatchers.  Cab drivers will be required to speak English and must pass a geography test.  Dispatchers must also pass a geography test and must undergo First Responder training through the Anchorage Police and Fire Department they must be certified by the Municipality of Anchorage before they are allowed to dispatch.  Vehicles must be inspected and repaired by a reputable dealership like Cal Worthington Ford no recessed vehicle aka junk cabs.  Handicap cabs must serve handicap trips first closest cab will be dispatched and must respond with in less than an hour.  A minimum of one handicap cab must be working at all times at each dispatch company.  Anchorage Charr due to the fact cabs are not required to participate in the off the Road program.  You can not make a cab driver participate in a program.  Since 2008 Regina Doyle removed Alaska Yellow Cab from participation because drivers got to greedy with the program.  The publisher of this blog will unless the Amy Demboski to make sure that this ordinance is performed or the Anchorage public will introduce really competition this is last chance at this 39 year dinosaur.

Spokane's Main Avenue two way proposal would be a rotten idea unless you have Spokane Falls Blvd become a two way as well

Spokane's Main Avenue two way proposal is a rotten idea unless you make Spokane Falls Blvd a two way street as well.  As someone who worked at Spokane Opera House and Convention Center from 1992-1995 as a janitor.  I lived in Spokane from 1991-1998 when I returned to Alaska.  Now I am bring Spokane type of taxi reform to Anchorage.  This would be a traffic nightmare that would increase congestion.  For this to really work you would need to shorten the land the Spokane Public Library stands on.  You would have to move Abraham Lincoln statue across the street.  You would have to create a roundabout at Monroe/Main/Spokane Falls Blvd take some land away from the federal courthouse to make this work.  Best idea leave this street as it now.  Traffic will flow much better.  There was a reason the Spokane planners did this was to make traffic flow faster.  This would increase congestion and actually make it harder to traffic to move in Downtown Spokane.  Now if the Cowles Family would not object to Riverside being a one way street going east in front their newspaper this could work too.  But do not get that started unless you Stacey Cowles coming to city call pretending he is the king and the citizens are the little people.  Since we are the little people of Spokane.  Please tell the Spokane City Council leaves this alone.  Plus we to allow more business at Boots Bakery this proposal will make it harder for Boots to stay in business. 

Duck Dynasty needs a Western headquarters of Duck Commander and has a mountain named after Uncle Si

The picture of house I grew up until I was 13 year with Mt Si in my hometown of North Bend in the background.   I took in December of 2012 during my emotional vacation last year to honor my Grandpa Swenson who this blog has actually been named after to honor him but not to offend other family members I call it Personal Stories and Opinions from a Swenson Family Member  which like Willie I was born into this family.  This is partly cloudy behind it typical North Bend weather.

Duck Dynasty time to expand and create a western headquarters in my hometown of North Bend  the city needs the revenue your business would generate.  This city already has a Mountain named after one of your character Uncle Si.  Actually named for a rugged outdoors man who died in 1882 who had a homestead there about the spot where North Bend is located.  This city with its mayor who graduated with my mother Sharon Yakanak.  Ken Hearing would give you guys a tax credit.  You could make T-Shirt putting your face on the Mountain.  North Bend needs the revenue you guys could generated that is why he would give you the tax credit.  Plenty of ducks to hunt no not the natives walking in the rain the city generates except for two months out of the year.  Alpine Lakes Wilderness has plenty of ducks to hunt.  Now Washington State Dictator Jay Inslee would probably declare all ducks an endangered species.  You may soon if you have less than one ounce you might be able to smoke dope while hunting too.  Washington State voters were already They filled their absentee ballot the only way they are allowed to vote in the Social Republic of Washington unless in Scotland then they vote by secure internet connection by computer.  Imagine North Bend, Washington the western home of Duck Commander next to a mountain already named after one of their most famous characters Uncle Si.  Please lobby Duck Dynasty to have the western headquarters of North Bend.  City would be rich they are already benefited from Twin Peaks every comes to Twede's Cafe formerly Mar T Cafe for the most famous pies in the world at the SE corner of State Rte 202 aka Bendigo Blvd aka North Bend Blvd and North Bend Way aka W First Street.  Main is the dividing line between W and E not North Bend Blvd.  Please lobby the North Bend City Council to offer Duck Dynasty and Duck Commander a tax break to have the western headquarters will Uncle Si in charge or at least living here  to a city that has a mountain already named after Uncle Si Robertson.  Please Willie have your uncle move here you still run it remote from your headquarters in West Monroe.  Have your uncle move here we have a mountain with his name on it.

North Bend unofficial most famous resident Uncle Si Robertson he is actually my dad. 

Have the Gates Foundation pay all the school districts that want Common Core not US Taxpayers

Starting this school year a lot of school district including Anchorage have adopted this Common Core idea.  This actually came from a lab inside the Microsoft Headquarters at One Microsoft Way in Redmond east of Seattle.  Bill Gates the chief and the major reason the Socialist Republic of Washington's education system is at the bottom of the apple core.  Since he has spent so much money making Common Core aka lets brain wash every American child to that common sense and conservative thinking is a bad way to think. Basically talking about putting RFID chips in school children not a bad idea however this should be done by parents that dissolve back into the skin do not harm child either and some parents do this to track their special needs child through a radio transmitter.  This is also a way to brand people kind of what Hitler did to the Jews during World War II without the nasty experiments. This is mind control this is what we accused the Soviets doing during the Cold War.  I guess we need to raise the next generation of liberals.  What if a child over 10 years of age refuses to have this RFID chip planted do they get denied admission into school if that is here is another article on home schooling I originally wrote on another site on April 3, 2010 put on this site in December 1, 2011 http://swensonfamilymember.blogspot.com/2011/12/my-brother-jim-marion-wants-to-give-his.html.  This gives the case for home schooling your children.  Let's didn't Hillary Clinton say it takes a village with Common Core it takes a bureaucracy to raise a child.  If school district want Common Core then go to Microsoft at One Microsoft Way in Redmond ask Bill Gates for the money not the taxpayer.  Sincerely the American taxpayer tired of paying for social program that don't work.  Just the reading, writing, math and real history to our school please.
