You know Anchorage School District board members you only have yourselves to blame

You know if the Anchorage School District School board had not listened to a bunch of stupid administrators located at Boniface and Northern Lights and had actually listened to the voters that hired you instead.  We would not be talking about layoff teachers.  We need to fire some administrators and reduce some programs that people did not want ask for.  Remember when you take the federal and state money there are strings attached which is why you say no to that money.  These teacher that got the layoff notices do not ask the Anchorage Education Association to see you can your job they represent top down administrations not the classroom teacher.  They do not want to tell you this.  As one of former supervisors when you point fingers three come back at you.  Teacher you want to save your jobs tell the school to start cutting the fat at Boniface and Northern Lights and not the classroom.  The citizens in Anchorage will find board members who will do that for you.

Anchorage Ordinance 109 kills medical transport taxis in Anchorage

First casualty of Anchorage Ordinance 109.  LifeMed Alaska announced as on January 22, 2014 it will stop medical transportation in Anchorage due to the vehicle for hire.  This has accomplished what it has intended.  I wonder if we will Quick Rides and these other disguised taxi cabs vanish across Anchorage.  I hope so I just want to flip these people off when I see them.  I want to remain professional plus my parent taught me not used profanity unnecessarily.  I guess if have medicaid voucher with the new regulations in process of being written call a handicap accessible there are now 11 available.  They should operate 24 hours a day unless a mechanical problem or routine maintenance.  Call Alaska Yellow Cab at (907) 222-2222 or Anchorage Checker Cab at (907) 644-4444 and you can also schedule your time call before 2009 you could do this due to the fact not enough handicap cabs available in the city.  As a former dispatcher at Alaska Yellow Cab from 2004-2011.  I know this for a fact. 

There should be a $15 minimum charge to get into a taxi

Since the Occupy movement wants to make a $15 minimum wage for America.  Taxi drivers should require $15 to get into a taxi unless you are going more than 5 miles then then meter can start at $15.  Then they can charge $3 a mile after that.  This will make it so taxi drivers can make over the minimum wage.  We can not forget cab drivers in this minimum wage debate.  They have families to feed too. 

Anchorage School District middle and high school should have seven periods of instruction for students

Anchorage School District should have seven periods of instruction.  This will make it so students can get more instruction with the teachers.  When I was in middle school and high school in Washington State in the 1980's we had seven periods of instruction and students learned.  This also gives the students a choice of more electives each school year.  Also require 26 credits to graduate high school.  Please support having seven periods of instruction for students better learning environment.

Home Schooling parents should get a tax credit from the local tax base

Home Schooling parents should receive a local tax credit and not have to pay the school district part of the property tax on their bill.  The home schooling children must take a yearly test to show they are at or above the level the peers in the school district are.  That portion would go to home schooling parents instead.  This will also make home schooling families not to have to pay the school district portion of the property tax.  This will also make it less expensive for parents to home school their children.

Small businesses may want to leave Seattle and Los Angeles

Due to recent addition of councilmember Sawant and socialist mayor Ed Murray.  Recently Los Angeles passed a $15 minimum wage ordinance.  Small businesses in Seattle and Los Angeles will continue to suffer and may be forced to close their doors.  Welfare recipients will increase since they will not be able to find a job since no one will hire a worker at $15 an hour to start.  Small business to save your business you need to leave the Seattle and Los Angeles City Limits immediately to business friendly places like Bellevue, Kirkland, Shoreline and Federal Way.  Seattle will have less options to choose from since Seattle is no longer small business friendly.  Want to improve Seattle and Los Angeles economy tell your leaders to stop hindering small business.  Businesses are already automating with less people.

Public Assistance benefits need to less then minimum wage

Most states the public assistance benefits are more than an minimum wage job.  This kills the incentive for welfare recipients to find work.  Some states give bonus if you have more children.  First of all require all medicaid recipients to have to look for health insurance through the exchanges then have them pay for it.  Have the monthly benefit be less than what you would make on a minimum wage job.  This would entice them to get off of public assistance.  Idaho benefits are only $5.36 an hour where Washington State benefits are $12 an hour and Oregon benefits pay $20 an hour.  So those that want $15 minimum wage why not go on welfare you make that amount anyway just to sit on but and do nothing.  Please state legislatures lower your public assistance lower than minimum wage this will lower the unemployment rate.  We also need to have time limits no more than a year on public assistance and you have to looking for work.  Do not look for work off the rolls.
