Really, thatʻs your problem with this (including the star reactions)? Paleeze! So the good of feeding kids in these districts should be held up until your problem is resolved? Even in a perfect world that would be difficult to filter out, and as much as I would love a perfect state, our State Gov. falls short of administrative perfection. Sure there are families that donʻt need the assistance, but PERSON guessing there are a lot of families in the designated areas that have a much tougher time than most to make ends meet...if they meet at all. So the bigger picture is using a fraction of our tax money to attempt to help out humanity. Is that such a bad thing? Unfortunately it includes those that donʻt really need it, but it benefits children that really do. Why fault the kids for their parents economic status or incapabilities. Why not get them off on the right foot. Hopefully they can parlay this into making a good life for themselves and not become parents that you have a problem with.

Has anybody been able to learn whether the cladding used on the building was in fact illegal, or was it in conformity with building codes? This seems to be a fundamental question about liability- was the product they used illegal or not? If it was in conformity with building codes, then the problem was the code not being adequate. If it was not in conformity, then clearly there has been negligence by those who selected it.

PERSON. These are liberal positions in the Lockean sense, more correctly called left libertarian or liberal libertarian. The key provision of the ideology is privacy, not from search, but of conduct. There are some things the society simply has no interest in doing, like considering Latinos as white people who can face enhanced scrutiny and racism by law enforcement, like regulating birth control or pre-viability abortions, regulating consensual sodomy, allowing Evangelicals to discriminate against Catholic Churches because they believe the Pope is the anti-Christ and denying marriage rights to gays because they are gay. Also denying education to the American children of immigrants (or benefits). In other words, freedom is no license to treat other people with scorn, torture, incarceration or the power of the mob, even if the mob is led by the local Catholic bishop.

The timing of this article is interesting, since moose season on the Yukon starts on the 5th...parking limitations are guaranteed to be an issue. Curious how Tanana is going to enforce the "illegal" parking situation? Towing? Doubtful. Tickets? Most hunters who pay enough gas to travel that far wouldn't mind a $50 or $100 for a parking ticket. Vandalism? That creates two bad guys, so let's hope not. I'm guessing hunters will just park there anyway, leading to frustrated locals. If they hope to avoid chaos, they should say something quick about enforcement. This will need to be figured out before next years hunt.

Why would Vietnam need Cuban blood especially at a price of $ 50.00? Did they not have enough donors in Vietnam? How much the blood of 166 Cubans could have helped in Vietnam considering the loss of life in that war. This story is a absolute nonsense and a fabrication. Fake -news you could say - using the latest catch phrase.. It is in line with Stalin's 30.40,50,60 million killed, or the 10 million especially killed Ukrainians (mind you only the western ones) or the ones circulating back in 30's the Russian communists were eating their babies. It is when common sense fails that one can print nonsense like that.

Looking at the past 25 years, owning a home has been a path to quick riches. Interest rates fell from double digit to less than 2.5% for a five year fixed mortgage; historic low. House prices have gone through the roof. Home owners, particularly in the large urban centres, have seen their net worth balloon. From a starting point of today, I am not sure that interest rates are going lower; rather it is likely they have bottomed and are now headed higher. House prices also look crazy high. I am not sure that the next 25 years are going to be as beneficial to ones net worth as the last 25 years. Starting from today renting may well be the better decision (over buying) looking at it strictly from a financial perspective.

Thank you , PERSON, for your insights based on your many experiences in Alaska. As the adage goes, if we do not understand history, we will repeat our mistakes from the past.

After seeing the headline I looked to the story to tell me who these 'authorities' were who were to be blamed for a wildfire. How would that work anyway? Turns out, the article wasn't about any authorities 'facing' any scrutiny. That was just a 'fake news' headline, if you will. I agree the editor should never have allowed the misinformation to be printed. The publisher should take note. When you reprint an article from another source, use the headline that matched the article, the original headline, …don't change it to make it appear something it isn't. Print a retraction, fix your error, Mr PERSON, …if you hold to any journalistic ethic, that is.

"The city is waiving up to $10,000 in fees to homebuilders — including a $6,624 sewage connection charge." Are we finally seeing a glimmer of intelligence and common sense from the city's obtuse bureaucracy? Perhaps. Definitely the sewage connection fee is pure shibai. Main home already has the connection, tie into it. No real difference than adding a new bathroom, kitchen upgrade, new family members born, etc. Increase in water consumption, related fees, more than enough to offset. $10k fee is also pure shibai, city leeching off of taxpayers to fund their ever increasing dead wood overhead. Simple construction plans to review, nothing major here. Lets hope this continues to benefit all the people in need, the ones being helped.

Why go to college here in Alaska, when there will be no jobs here? Sending our kids to the lower 48 is like giving them freedom! Alaska is so far behind the education curve that I truly doubt it can be fixed! One good that might come from the Republican process, is that the population of Alaska will decline until things balance out again. If enough people leave, our budget can be reduced significantly and will be balanced at some point. That way our legislators don't have to make any real decisions. The population that remains will be the legislators and their families. Perhaps that is just their design but who knows what lurks in their minds for sure? All I see in our legislators is nonsense!

When it comes to religion government shouldn't promote anything, including the promotion of nothing.

All individuals of course will draw upon their education, upbringing and experiences at the ballot box and in their day to day decision making so much of their religious or atheist thinking is in play all the time, but there must be hard limits that all respect. (So what happens when secular democracy votes in religious or political fascists? Within the same constitutional rule set that allowed such an election outcome it must be very difficult for fascists to operate as fascists, including making changes to the rules. This need has been clearly tested with the current American administration and, so far, the US constitutional system has been up to the challenge.)

So anyone who prefers a rifle for sporting use or the simple protection of their home or family should automatically be denied their firearm of choice, even though said weapons are used in a small fraction of illegal acts? Why do you think that every police department in the nation chooses this type of platform for their officers, because for the simple fact as a personnel defense choice it simply has no equal. There are currently millions of these weapons in civilian hands, legally purchased, legally owned, and used for a variety of purposes, hunting, match shooting, personnel protection, as well as billions of rounds of ammunition, trust me if they were truly a problem, other than in the opinions or minds of those that seek to deny them to others, everyone would know it.

Foreign money is only 4.9% of the total value of all transactions according to TREB. Supply is the issue. Canada is a vast country with a comparatively small population. There is more than enough land to allocate for housing, farming, green space etc. We have not run out of land. 'Protecting environment' is a smokescreen used by homeowners to promote supply restriction so their homes could skyrocket in value.

"Various sources in Rome and Australia told America that the cardinal has been like a lightning rod for discontent and has been a controversial and somewhat unpopular figure in Australia for a long time. They believe that some of the accusations against him are motivated by dislike and anger with the church and that he is so identified with the church in Australia that the vitriol that existed at the moment is often vented in an almost vicarious response. These sources also agree that given the widespread and justifiable anger over the sexual abuse of children and minors...it would be fair to say that the public want scalps, and the cardinal’s would be the biggest and most high profile one. For many people, it is the one they are after. This climate, of course, raises the crucial question as to whether he can be given a fair trial." https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2017/06/29/cardinal-pell-professes-innocence-sex-abuse-charges

This tapping business is something the media and trump dreamed up. It's purpose is to steal the media lime light away from dismal and cruel trumpcare lie that is being inflicted on us and will be responsible for the death of 10 ot thousands of Americans. All so we can spend on the military to supposably protect us? Then why kill us? The republicans are illegitimate in every conceivable way.

First off, if your only complaint is how the leader acts on one issue then there's obviously not much else to complain about. Second, when dealing with an intelligent and rational leader such as PERSON, a similar approach would be very effective. When dealing with a benighted, belligerent, bombastic cry-baby like PERSON, a good dose of his own medicine is fully warranted. So I am glad we have a former drama teacher to deal with this drama queen, even if the presentation lacks a little eloquence, it's effective.
