Anchorage Taxi Cab Drivers plan to waive the white flag to Uber and Lfyt

Today, Friday, March 16, 2018 and on Tuesday, March 20th they are planning to honk their horns and drive around the Performance Arts Center against the people of Anchorage who voted against their measure in the last municipal election by 58 percent.  The citizens sent a strong message they want better service through competition.  The main idiot behind this is Timothy Huit who Anchorage can not afford the fare as mayor is behind the surrender protest.  They also plan to protest on Tuesday by driving around a long block around the Loussac Library during the Assembly meeting while they are voting on 2018-06 to modernize the industry introduced by Forrest Dunbar to clean up the industry.  He is my assemblyman who I do not agree with politically.  He agrees with the people of Anchorage to people need to approve the customer service and quality through competition.  Come to Performance Arts Center today at 1pm and on Tuesday around 6pm laugh and give these crybabies the one figure salute they deserve.  

The main reason they are protesting their permits went from $150,000 to $6,600 which is where the value should be.  The starting bid for these permits were at $1,980 and the lowest last bid was $6,600.   
Cab driver people have spoken please quit crying and complaining improve service or call Uber or Lyft because in ten years you will be a dinosaur with your kind of talk.

First person to present was Ric Davidge the many recommendations he had suggested was performance based budgeting.  Eliminate extra administrative positions in government.  Require a MBA for all state management positions.  Legislature must approve all union contracts.

Terrance Shanigan talked about improving public safety by making the troopers more defined in their role with the public.  

Lora Reinbold highlights how crime has increased under SB 91 how stores have had to increase security as a result of this legislation.  This legislation has decreased public safety.  

Liz Vazquez explained how to make Alaska's medicaid program more efficient.  

Donn Liston talked about making education more efficient.  

Lora Reinbold ended the forum by telling people to recommend to the legislature to repeal SB 91 and against an income tax.  

Leah Hadfield wins a write in campaign for Roslyn City Council

Leah Hadfield had the better presentation to get enough voters to write in her name for city council.  Here is the truth when current members of the city council voted to overwhelmingly dismantle the cemetery commission.  This brought the residents in arms because so many residents had loved ones buried in the cemetery.  This is the largest cemetery in the Western United States. Roslyn was once a king coal hub at one time had up nearly 5,000 people according to the 1900 Census was at one time the largest city in the county til the 1940's.  Hopefully Roslyn will be happy with new blood on the council. Leah, Jeff Adams and Bethany Spurrier will add some great ideas into the council.  I will be watching to see if the council does a great job help their community. 

Washington State Residents will face new fees and taxes in the next coming year

With the recent election this November of Manka Dhingra as state senator of the 45th legislative district located on the Seattle's Eastside region covering Kirkland, Woodinville, Redmond and Duvall.  This will give Democrat control of both chamber of the legislature since 2012.  What is in Washington state economic future if this agenda goes through.  Many business will move out of Washington State due to a pending income tax.  The carbon tax will make this situation worse.  Washington will be Oregon and California where the only the super rich can afford to live.  Eastern Washington and Eastern Oregon will still have more vibrant economy since land will be cheap to buy.  Expect a population to boom in places like Ontario, Spokane and Tri-Cities area due to have inexpensive lands.  Tech companies will locate to place like Kennewick and Wenatchee due to more business friendly environments.  Issaquah will still be business hub of Western Washington despite the recent mayoral election there.  They are what Wasilla in Alaska will eventually become.  I say get your U-Hal trucks start heading to Idaho because Washington State will be too expensive. 

Seattle decided to stay with the status quo

Recently Seattle residents decided with the status quo by electing Jenny Durkan for mayor.  Seattle continue have a anti small business friendly by making them not be able to keep staff due to high minimum wage.  This policy will lead to higher causes of residents being homeless and higher crime rates.  There will also be a higher unemployment rates due to the higher minimum wage.  There will be increase in juvenile crime because the minimum wage will not allow employers to hire juveniles.  Seattle enjoy your status quo ideas. 

Females elected mayor in major cities along Interstate 5

Major cities in Washington State have elected females as mayors.  Seattle it is Jenny Durkan.  Everett it is still a toss up between Cassie Franklin or Judy Tuohy.  Black Diamond it is Carol Benson.  Issaquah it is Mary Lou Pauly.  Kent it is Debra Srebnik.  Tacoma it is Victoria Woodards, Vancouver it is Anne McEnerny and Lynnwood it is Nicola Smith.  It is interesting these cities think a female can lead these cities into prosperity.  I wish all these mayors well.  Issaquah has grown over 500 percent since my childhood in the 1980's.  I am hoping that Mary Lou can continue the friendly pace of the city being friendly to business.  This city has provided a lot of tax breaks for incoming business.  Snoqualmie my hometown has adopted this same model.  Vancouver needs to find its own identity stop being in the shadow of Portland.  Everett needs to stop crime.  Seattle needs to become more business friendly.  Kent and Issaquah needs to continue to take advantage of Seattle anti-business friendly city council.  Kent has taken advantage of SeaTac's high minimum wage taking business from both Seattle and SeaTac it has improved its industrial base.  This city has provided tax breaks.  Tacoma needs to some day clean that bay.  Get rid of the 150 years of rotting logs smell in Commencement Bay.  They need to get rid of rising crime rate that the city has had for over 30 years.  This city just like Anchorage has been overwhelmed by an opioid crisis.  Lynnwood needs to continue to operate a business friendly environment by offering tax breaks.  This city has been growing like crazy since the 1980's it is kind of the Issaquah of the north at a slower pace. 

Ivy I guess keeping the doors closed at entrances at Northway Mall appeals to you

Ivy Spohnholz which here real name is actually known as Ivy Spineless.  She says no income tax no additional money for public safety.  Since along with the South Anchorage duo of Chris Birch and Jennifer Johnston who's lack of concern for public safety I will mention in a future blog.  We need to repeal you from political office.  This blog will make sure that happens.  Anyone who comes from Salvation Army needs to go back there.  People of Airport Heights all the way to parts of East Anchorage needs to send you to the unemployment line.  You were given this seat by a death of a great legislator who turning in his grave over your idea you want to tax low income people 1.5 percent.  You need to represent you district you are already a disgrace to patrons of Northway Mall.  If you want those doors open do not dial Ms. Spineless because she will hang up the phone on you will not listen to you unless you give her 1.5 percent of her paycheck.
