Congrats to Duke men's Basketball Team and Uconn Women's Basketball Team

Congrats Duke Men's Basketball and University of Connecticut Women's Basketball Teams in their perform and victories in the NCAA basketball tournament.  I originally supported Gonzaga men and women basketball teams.  I am also glad that Eastern Washington University made it even though they got eliminated early.  I was hoping the Wisconsin and Notre Damme would have won in the finals.  I guess the best teams win.  I guess there is always the 2016 season. 

It is official the final candidates for Anchorage's Mayor Race are Demboski vs Berkowitz

It is official for the two candidates for the Anchorage borough mayor election on May 5th are Amy Demboski and Ethan Berkowitz.  There is a clear choice.  One believes that to solve a problem there is a program you can create to solve it.  The other believes in choice you should be allowed to make your own decisions.  

Amy Demboski believes that government should not be the solution for every situation.  She also believes you should have choice in how you live your life as long as you do not endanger someone's life and liberty in the process.  She also believes in fiscal accountability and allowing the non profits to take a role in dealing with social issues.  Imagine if the Downtown Soup Kitchen could help the chronic drunk situation with their religious values and not have the government intervene in that. 

Ethan Berkowitz believes if you want to solve a problem a government program solves the problem.  Let's not be accountable for our spending.  Let's get more money for the taxpayers not allow the taxpayer to decide who gets be winners or losers.  Let's waist the money then ask for more.  Kind of reminds me of that orphan who keeps asking for more not satisfied with what they got.  He is Mark Begich on steroids.  

Anchorage Alaska Yellow Dispatch customers direct of management blowing off your complaints

This is an indictment of Alaska Yellow Dispatches parent company Sea Lion Corporation.  When Sea Lion bought over 50 percent back on July 2009.  They made Regina Doyle the CEO of Alaska Yellow Dispatch, LLC with Dean Paul as the overseeing the operation then last year in 2014 after Dean sold his interest in the company to Chevak Corporation.  Sloane Unwin overseeing the operation.  Now this management since 2007 has blown of complaints from customers.  Refuse to hold drivers accountable unless I was behind the dispatch chair.  Representatives would cuss at you on the phone.  If you do not get results after company to Alaska Yellow Dispatch directly during business hour you can travel to Sea Lion Corporation offices in Anchorage at 3351 Arctic Blvd or call them at (907) 644-8810 or call the Anchorage Transportation Inspector Eric Musser office at (907) 786-8525 if not available then leave a message.  They need to really start listening to customers and drivers stop being rude on the phones. 

Alaska rural school districts should be allowed to use church buildings for schools

Alaska rural school districts like the Kodiak Island Borough should be allowed to use church building in rural communities like Old Harbor.  This will save rural Alaskan property tax dollars.  The school district gets a free building.  Churches could teach their religious teaching which parents can opt out if they choose by US Constitution.  Since now the Borough mayors have ultimate authority in school district budget due to recent Alaska supreme court decision only the Borough Assembly with an override than overdue a mayor in Borough government this includes Sitka, Juneau and Anchorage they are also boroughs according to the Alaska State Constitution. 

Anchorage cab dispatchers should be required to be certified as a dispatcher

I have been directly involved with Anchorage's industry since June 2004 when Alaska Cab hired me as a telephone representative.  Then on Christmas Day, 2004 I was promoted to dispatcher now during those seven years til February 2011.  I put a human element to the folks at Alaska Yellow Cab dispatch.  In November 2004 Alaska Cab purchase of Anchorage Yellow Cab was finalized.  Due to my past jobs at a Bill Collector at three different collection agencies I knew the geography of Anchorage very well.  In order to serve someone in Anchorage municipality our Collections legal department required the collectors to get a complete physical address.  The dispatcher was much more they are the lifeline between cab driver and cab dispatcher.  They must also cooperate with law enforcement.  I was the only dispatcher due to my lifetime training in dealing with first heroes to completely cooperate with law enforcement due to father being a volunteer firefighter with North Bend and Kittitas County District 7 Volunteer Fire Departments.  This resulted in a few things in March 2010 a police detective called me asked me if Rafael Martinez was working he was in Alaska Yellow Cab 15.  I called Rafael told him I was going to re dispatch his trip he was in the Airport Heights area please head to dispatch I need to talk to him.  The detective came to Alaska Yellow Cab dispatch were I was working.  Then where Cab 15 showed up at dispatch he was arrested my boss had no idea I was the architect of this arrest.  Here is an example of an inexperience dispatcher when a cab driver named Dale Pokarney was killed by a drunk driver on January 30th, 2010 when he was driving on Fireweed Lane and Arctic Boulevard called me said a cab driver was killed.  I spoke to the APD officer gave Susie Taylor's personal cell phone number I had at the time.  I told the dispatcher that we are not to put anything to the fleet until we get the official communication from Alaska Yellow Cab dispatch office.  Very few dispatchers wrote on the incident log like they were supposed according to Title 11 regulation. I wrote it down that day in the log book.  Cab dispatchers are not required to have a criminal background check and they also not required to have a geography test neither are cab driver for that matter since Jackie Ransom made it an open book test in her classes also commented why the cab industry should be the way it is in her classes.  You current have dispatchers at Alaska Yellow Cab and possibly Anchorage Checker Cab who have criminal records dispatching.  This was not covered in the recent AO 2013-109 overhaul.  I would recommend that dispatch companies for all vehicle for hires be required to be certified by the Anchorage Fire and Police Department go through not just drug testing but also a criminal background check they must also be required to take geography test administered by the Municipal Transportation Inspection Department.  I support loosening Anchorage Title 11 we must keep safety for all vehicles for hire including taxicabs.  I have been following the Anchorage Transportation Commission since July 2011 when I made my first appearance. 

Gay lobby is telling lies about the Indiana freedom to practice business beliefs bill

First of all this only applies to small business if a large company outlet wants to do they can most likely will not adopt this law.  Business owners can and will not or have ever had said you are gay I will not serve you.  First most small business have a sign that say we have the right to refuse service.  That is if you have a bad attitude you can refuse service which is what the plaintiffs did in the Sweet Cakes by Melissa cake when the couple was rude they used the gay line afterwords.  In the Tri Cities, Washington florist case the Attorney General stuck his nose when he was not asked to get political points that is what socialist lawmakers like Bob Ferguson do.  So Gay lobby quit telling lies and if a business direct said that to you then you need to take your business elsewhere.  That is what people do not go to the courts and whine that is what babies do.  Since most leftist and liberals are babies.  Maybe we should treat them like a baby you need permission before you open your big fat mouth.  These business are expressing a first amendment right now Indiana business must display a sign that due to religious beliefs we have to the right to refuse service against our beliefs.  You know I would like a gay activist to sue a cab company or Liberals sue a Muslim business for having a prayer rug in their business.  Gay agenda equality needs to be done at the ballot box not the judical box.  You speak equality now practice it not force.  This is not a civil rights issue it a human issue.  When science proves a Man has sex with a man and produces a child.  Then we will except gay marriage.  Do not use the Thomas Beattie argument from Oregon he is a biological female.  Man never got pregnant plus he has no penis. 

Hey Alaskans tired of switching your clocks back and forward

Hey Alaskans tired of switching your clocks back and forth.  Please call your legislatures and support Senator Anna Fairclough MacKinnon's Daylight Savings bill.  Here is an idea have most of Alaska not switch.  Since Alaska is in two time zones.  In the summertime all of Alaska can be in one time zone.  Then in the summertime the Aleutians would fall forward and SE Alaska could fall backwards then in SE Alaska they call fall forwards to be inline with the Pacific Northwest.  The Pacific Time used to include SE Alaska until the 1970's.  Aleutians would only change their clocks in the summertime to be inline with the state.  They would not be inline with the rest of Alaska.  You would create three time zones.  One would be call the Aleutian area only springs forward not back.  Then most of the state would not do the practice.  SE Alaska would continue to spring forward and fall back.  This would work.  Now we know the business community and sports fans do not like it either.  Well what if Washington and Oregon also decided quit the practice which their are bills in both legislatures right now to all terminate the practice.  Then this two argument would be squashed because Portland, Spokane and Seattle no longer practiced it then it would still be only one hour ahead unless in SE Alaska then the same time half the year.  Then the shocker what if California decide to no longer practice this either.  What if Rand Paul or Ted Cruz became president and in his first hundred days the first executive order was to stop the practice of daylight savings time nationwide.  Every state would choose what zone they want to be in.  Better yet eliminate these time zone that were created at the turn of the century at the time when railroad was king and airplanes were still in the baby stages.  Automobile was in its tweeny stages.  Time Zones started about the 1910's.  Call your legislature and tell them to support Eagle River State Senator Anna Fairclough MacKinnon's bill Get rid of daylight savings time bill.  The Anchorage 12th man support this legislation.
