How does this lady get elected to the August Senate of Alaska no less. This is a local issue for the most part. In many areas of the State where there is perpetual hardpack or dirt there is no problem with those ruts. Her problem as with small town Anchorage legislators is that they can't see beyond the malls. Recall when the State began clearing the 30 foot easement lines of trees? We had these myopic Anchortown legislators going nuts about the expense -forget the safety issue or the tourist views --it was just myopic thinking. 
So lighten up Senator and think! if you want to end your stud fee why don't you bring it to the Assembly -same in Matsu or Juneau. Your issue is a hammer to Alaskans not involved.
Gee these Republicans who perpetually complain about the nanny state and communism -then pay oil companies  to drill and over regulate everyone for rutting. Gosh we just learned the State owes Caelus $3.5 Billion Dollars to drill at Smith Bay!-Thankfully they hit! The risk was ours.
