That will not only hurt Alaska, but Washington and the Pacific Northwest as well. Refin... Full story

The deadlines help explain why we are continuing to see major pieces of legislation emerge: in week 4 it was our Senate majority’s energy package, and week 5 has brought a statewide transportation proposal and a sensible new approach...
