Anchorage School High School start times need to move to 5:30am

High School start times in Anchorage need to move to 5:30am.  When the high school kid faces the real world.  The employer chooses the start time.  Early start time produces a great work ethic.  I can tell you moving the start time later does not help the student if they have a part time job.  School students are only allowed to work til 7pm since Alaska employment laws consider school part of the work schedule.  High school students can only work four hours a day.  Put the start time later put activities later if they are involved in sports.  Let's be honest most students do not get more than 5 hours a sleep a night.  Later start times just give students and excuse to stay up later than they should.  Want to help high school students move start times to 5:30am. 

Ride Shares should be regulated just like taxicabs in Anchorage

Ride Shares should be regulated just like taxicabs in Anchorage.  Each ride share vehicle should be required to pay a permit fee just like a taxicab is required to do.  Each permit owner shells any where from $30,000 to $100,000 for their permits.  If we require each ride share car to pay the $1980 that each cab pays every year to renew their permit.  Each ride share driver should be required to a chauffeur training course.  Cab driver except competition you must also follow the same rules as taxicab drivers.  Remember ride shares are also taxis.  

Time to return Common Sense back to the Spokane City Council

Time to return common sense back to the Spokane City Council.  We need to put back public servants back on the city council.  We need to send Tim Benn to the city council.  We need to defeat Candace Mumm and Breann Beggs in the primary.  This current council is more interested in making it harder for small business to compete.  Making it more easier for someone in a bicycle to get somewhere then an automobile by increasing congestion on city streets.  They also want to limit how many times someone can talk to the city council each month. 

Perverts no longer welcomed at the Anchorage Public Library

Anchorage Public Library board has recently decided that people can no longer view porn at the library.  Where will the ACLU be on this issue?  I wonder if they will side with the perverts like they always side with the criminals not people who want to make a community better.  I guess if you are a pervert your business will no longer be wanted at the public library.  I guess one place sex offenders can not go is the library.  In the last couple of years the Berkowitz administration have allowed people to hang out at the library as a place to chill from the cold.  They must behave some of these people are sex offenders.  

Here is how this policy will work since they will still give you the option of filters and no filters.  If you are caught by staff member.  They will call security then they will check to see if you are on the sex offender registry.  If you were are since it is a violation to view porn while being on the list.  You go to jail.  If you are not your library privileges are suspended for a day.  Second time for a month.  Third time your library privileges are cancelled you are banned from the facility which would be a bummer because you will not be able to testify at the Anchorage Assembly explain which you have the right to be a pervert at taxpayers expense.  

Alaska State budget was passed on the backs of average Alaskans

Last week your legislators decide to pass a budget on the backs of average Alaskans.  They capped your PFD at $1100 decide to take $656 million of the permanent fund to fund government services.  They decided to fund irresponsible school boards.  They did not reduce any items instead they increased the cost of government on the backs of average Alaskans.  Thanks Alaska House Majority for refusing to hold bureaucrats accountable. 

Lots of people attended the Save the PFD rally in Anchorage

Many people attended the Save Our PFD rally held in front of the Boney Court House in Anchorage on June 20th.  Most people honked and supported our cause.  There were a few celebrities that stopped like Liz Sanchez former legislature.  Bill Wielechowski the lawmaker who brought the lawsuit.  He allowed us to pray for a great outcome.  It maybe a couple of months before we found out the verdict from the State supreme court. 

Alaska legislatures it is time to adopt the peoples plan

Recently the Alaska State House Majority decided to restore your Permanent Fund Dividend.  These guys think to fund a full PFD you need an income tax.  No you do need an income tax to pay PFDs.  You need to cut services that are not part of basic government.  This is what Alaskans asked for is to balance the budget.  This idea will also make people leave the state to states that do not have this type of tax.  Texas anyone.  

Then you have the senate majority which also wants to cap your permanent fund dividend again stealing your money.  They refuse to cut expenses that are not needed.  

Now we have the peoples plan this is the Mission Critical Alaska plan.  Here it is leave the PFD alone let the market decide the amount of the PFD.  No new tax of any kind.  Reduce spending that is not needed. Make municipalities and school districts pay their fair share.  Here is the link to the Mission Critical website and look at their plan.  https://www.missioncriticalalaska.com/  Call your legislature and tell them you want this plan.  This is what the people want.
