Letter: Pedestrians take risks while drivers pay the price
I am a professional engineer with 39 years of practice in the transportation area, building roads, airports and similar transportation facilities. Just the other day, a pedestrian in all black was crossing midblock in the near darkness and stopped directly in front of me to pull out a cigarette and light it before continuing across the road. I almost got rear-ended, and a car in the adjacent lane could not see the smoker start up to continue across. It was a pure miracle he wasn’t killed.
Your letters - Jan. 16, 2026
By Jerry George, Jacques Behar and Curt Cruthirds Any ADU added may provide housing, problem is when original developments were designed, all utilities (gas, electric, sewer, storm drain systems, water, roads etc.) were sized to those specifications. An ADU might be for one person but as we all know down the line it becomes 2 or more, many homes designed for a family of four are now having 6, 8, 10 or more people occupying them. This is a severe strain on all systems.

Letter: Guardianship emergency
The governor must declare a state of emergency and activate the Alaska Defense Force to act in a guardianship role that the state Office of Public Advocacy is currently unable to fulfill. To leave these fragile people without formal legal advocates is irresponsible. Most of these people can not survive on their own, and to abandon them when the governor has both the power and resources to care for them is criminal neglect. — Jerry George Anchorage Have something on your mind?

Letters - September 2, 2022
‘Right to be heard’ appeal denied At the Ojai City appeal hearing on Aug. 23, our community witnessed a travesty. Councilmembers disregarded numerous legal citations and denied three appeals that simply asked for due process. The appellants asked Council to reject the ability of staff to veto a citizen’s right to be heard. There are tragic implications for council deciding that staff can now dictate when and how our citizens are “qualified” to exercise their rights.
Letter: Legislator pay
If the Senate and House were not organized and able to conduct business, does that mean they were not paid salary or per diem? Why are we paying people who are not working? — Jerry George Anchorage Have something on your mind? Send to letters@adn.com or click here to submit via any web browser.

Letter: Not on the same page
Yes, state employees have a right to their own opinion and sometimes have to curb those opinions when they come to work. But in the case of the governor’s Community Outreach Director advocating Alaskans to get out and party before the lockdown, the issue is much clearer. He is an exempt employee and can be fired by the governor for no reason. How can the governor succeed if he surrounds himself with people who don’t personally believe in the governor’s policies?
Letter: Governor’s university solution is an end game
It seems that the governor has hit on a solution to the overgrown university: Create sufficient turmoil that the university loses accreditation. All the career-oriented students will leave and the university can close its doors. Problem solved. — Jerry George Anchorage Have something on your mind?

Change is coming
With the word going rapidly around Facebook and other medium I felt I must take a moment to let everyone know what is going on with your newspaper. Yes, the rumors are true. I have taken a position as editor of the Northern Wyoming Daily News and will start mid March in that new position. I am excited about the position, which I do view is a move up professionally. I am excited about the challenges and this new adventure ahead. That said, I will miss the people here that I have come to known.
