I have to wonder why the truth is such a rare commodity up here. I also wonder why the voters didn’t remember that the mayor and his minions, a few years back, were advocating for random pull overs by police, which would have required everyone in the city to carry their birth certificates on them at all times, to make sure they were legal citizens. These people are dangerously nuts….

I think someone should start a recall petition……….just saying. Get him outta there asap. People like Sullivan and Scarah should have been stopped earlier! Get some honest people in your political positions!

It is such a shame that there was , what?….a 20% voter turn out for the Mayor’s election?

When there is such apathy, anywhere, it’s a sure prediction of corrupt government.

After all, if you are too lazy to vote, you obviously are too lazy to pay attention and the corrupt politician sees the opening.

Lazy folks accept the first plausible explanation they hear, other wise they might have to think and that’a just too much effort.

Good voter turnout = good government
Poor voter turnout = poor government

The majority of folks make the right choices……..they just need to get off their duff and make the choice!

How frustrating for the good folks and reliable voting population in Anchorage.

Dennis Wheeler made a mess at the Division of Agiculture as well.

strangelet:

I agree and I think you’re right.

A “special” thing about Alaska is we often personally know the players. I don’t always agree with my friends and sometimes I get disappointed with them.

Are all my friends ethical? Hmmm . . . that’s one of those questions I’d rather avoid. I hope most of them are. Attorneys have interesting issues that make one dizzy. I’m happy I’m not an attorney. They can have it.

@8 deist: Not being an Alaskan, I don’t know Wheeler, Begich, or Sullivan. However, it looks to me that there is enough paper trail on this matter to form a reasonable opinion as to who is describing history truthfully.

I am not involved enough to have a valid opinion about who is telling the truth, but it is instantly obvious that one of Wheeler or Begich is seriously misrepresenting the facts. Whichever is, is certainly not ethical.
