A decent presentation by a decent man, but a man who believes that our continually befuddled gubmut can be effective, pragmatic. It doesn't happen!
NEA screams for more $ -for the kids. What absolute baloney!
When the Legislators ignore fraud like the Anc LIO, gross abuse of travel, per diem, etc. they sacrifice their credibility.
With SB21 not top of the list to fix, mega-project spending continues, school performance is not a central issue, Millions of bucks due from Big/Oil are not immediately seized, heavily subsidizing rural communities continues unquestioned, members of the Legislative Brethren are not prosecuted for abuse, when LEGISLATURE ETHICS RULES are a sham, and all these & many more big issues are not even being addressed, Mr.Gara wants us to keep faith with state gubmut. HA!
Mr.Gara believes that seizure of PFD money can avoid or soften a recession brought on by Alaskan & extra-Alaskan influences. That doesn't happen even in fairy tales.
Hands off the PFD - forever!
