OP/ED:Millions In Corporate Subsidies Cost More Child Neglect & Increase Our Deficit

OP/ED:Millions In Corporate Subsidies Cost More Child Neglect & Increase Our Deficit

Dear Neighbors: Giving away money to those who can afford to carry the burden, and burdening five year-olds taken from their parents, who suffer abuse and neglect isn’t the right way to address our budget problem.  It’s unworkable.  It’s not humane.

Unnecessary Danger to Kenai Kings and Trout

Dear Neighbors: This state has a history of railing against the federal government. Well, this is a part rail and a part call for personal responsibility so we get our own house in order. Irresponsible Fish Decision Endangers Wild Kenai Rainbow Trout, Dollies and King Salmon: We Can Protect Subsistence Rights With A Smarter Plan I […]
