Interesting article on environmental preser...Phil,<br /><br />Interesting article on environmental preservation. Thanks for the link!<br /><br />I wonder what could be done to make the state government more responsive. I don't necessarily like strengthening our public referendum... A pure democracy can be tyrannical as any autocrat, and the consequences of "California style" direct democracy can be seen today in... well... California (i.e. the budget implosion because nobody will ever vote to tax themselves, but everyone will vote for goodies).<br /><br />Increasing turnout in local/state elections would probably be a good start... Ensure that the Representatives know that the people care and are watching.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />ChrisChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17407530889660573874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-48955109406242353922010-04-12T20:26:21.951-08:002010-04-12T20:26:21.951-08:00Great post - I will be stopping by more often.Great post - I will be stopping by more often.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-74939807955172018952010-04-10T18:45:02.913-08:002010-04-10T18:45:02.913-08:00I doubt if anyone will comment on the "whore ...I doubt if anyone will comment on the "whore of babble on"....this, speech has been her very most obnoxious, toxic speech to date...She is a vile, shrieking meth head! She was flying on this speech.<br />Part that you didn't show was "Who Dat"? (WTF?) and Bubba impersonations...yes Bill Clinton! I'm sure KO and Rachel and maybe even Tina Fey tonight will have a field day with vile hateful, idiotic,freak! I've heard comments from Alaskans "oh she's yours now" or "We're over her" yet she has not been held accountable by most Alaskans and the few that tried were not supported! What about the Grifter fund? (AFT)Ethics complaint last we heard it had teeth...so now what? Ray Metcalf where are you?<br />The SOA should be auditing the books of just what went on, during her...ah "governorship" but we know she is still in charge here... Parnell is nothing more than her puppet. Her daughters recent B & E the troopers are even afraid of her!
