Well there we go once again....not looking at the income from the state's oil and allowing republicans to gerrymander the voting districts and campaign financing to continuously get the shill representatives reelected to do corporate bidding.  Alaska has had big timber and big fish control the state out of Juneau before the Prudhoe Bay discovery and now Big Oil and Big Mining flood the state in order to cut a fat hog for corporate profits, yet the citizens of Alaska who have watched these events continue to allow the pigs to fatten at the expense of their own best interests. Democracy is not a spectator sport.  It is far more than sitting at a computer rattling off personal opinions.  Alaska is a resource rich state and an owner state.  This has been bypassed by Big Money and Big Lobby.  Voters need to seriously look at the source of the problem instead of playing the blame game.  Want an answer?  Look in the mirror. Vote the politicians out of office who continuously work against you!
