A Permanent Fund endowment for all Alaskans
In November of 1976, after graduating from high school I went to the polls, and along with more than 75,000 Alaskans, voted YES on Proposition 2; this vote created Alaska’s Permanent Fund (PF). It continues to amaze me that more than 30,000 Alaskans voted against this measure. We were blessed to have wise leaders who had the foresight back in 1976 to ask Alaskans if we should save a portion of our non-renewable resource; making it a renewable resource in the corpus of the PF. kAm%96 G@E6 @?

OPINION: Support elected officials who deliver real prosperity
Chugiak-Eagle River voters are smart. They care about our community and understand that first-time candidates, if elected, recognize very quickly that honesty matters, as does working with other legislators who have diverse policy perspectives. Individual lawmakers must work with others to respond to our districts and states needs. Chugiak-Eagle River is fortunate to have a conservative senator who understands how to deliver good governance, balance the budget and keep taxes low.
Screaming into the void? Us too. Coping tips for stressed-out families in the COVID-19 pandemic
Talk to any parent during these dark winter days and you’re likely to hear a mix of fear, anger, exhaustion and defeat. These are tough months when many politicians have moved to a living-with-the-virus model despite millions of our youngest citizens being ineligible for vaccines. There seem to be endless immediate stressors of unpredictable child care, school closures and isolation requirements. What can you do when there are truly no good choices?
San José's bold new plan for climate-friendly transit
San José is rolling out the green carpet for biking, thanks to the city council’s unanimous passage of the Better Bike Plan 2025. With the plan’s adoption, the city commits to building a 550-mile network of bike lanes, boulevards and trails to help thousands more people ride safely. The plan is realistic about the past, acknowledging San José’s sprawling 180-square-mile spread, its car-oriented layout and its inequitable history of transportation decisions, which continue to shape people’s lives.
