Proclaiming, just days after the horror in Orlando, that "There is nothing sadder than watching Hawaii’s struggling Republican Party sink lower and lower" seems incredibly insensitive.  But beyond that, this column does a pretty good job of explaining the pitfalls of inflexible political extremism, self-isolating dogma, and wingnut stupidity.

All window dressing.  Trying to lure a few rational republicans back into the fold to keep the party from completely melting down.  Problem is, the same element that is cheering for Trump still calls themselves republicans.  This election is already in the bag for the dems.  The best the repubs can do is make a reach with Ryan in 2020, if the party survives.

Plenty to not like about Clinton.  I don't plan to vote for her.  But Trump is so bad that you'd have to hate America to vote for him.  Time to vote for a third party candidate.  If they get enough votes they may get to play in the 2020 sandbox.  Wouldn't the debates be a lot more interesting with a third perspective on the stage?

The congressional elections are sure going to be interesting for the next couple cycles...

If you really want to know what happens when you have a bad home inspection, crooked real estate agents, and crooked building inspectors then throw in sleazy defense lawyers and a few politicians look this up in court view 3KN-12-00524-CI.
I could write a novel on how things work, how the state will not prosecute, how the politicians will not pass laws to protect home buyers because they are friends with industry be it the Alaska Association of realtors or other politically motivated reasons such as lets say a representative on the Kenai Peninsula was a commercial lines insurance salesman his clients were real estate agents, and other related home industries would you introduce legislation to hold these industries responsible, probably not because I brought several suggestions to their attention which they declined to even answer.

From their own website:  The 1976 state law establishing the Permanent Fund (AS 37.13), states that the Fund was created:
to provide a means of conserving a portion of the state's revenue from mineral resources to benefit all generations of Alaskans
to maintain safety of principal while maximizing total return
to be a savings device managed to allow maximum use of disposable income for purposes designated by law.

I think that's pretty clear insofar as it's purpose.    To conserve for the benefit of all generations of Alaskans.    Using the principal to produce earning to fund government (like Norway did for example) is certainly one way the fund, using a POMV payment model, would provide benefit to all generations of Alaskan's, not just the individuals who happen to live in Alaska for a year, then get a dividend that second year.

Ian - actually the third reading clarified for me that the only folks winning in this are the attorneys and the Governor.

"City attorney Bill Falsey said Tuesday that Anchorage police are unable to provide services past McHugh Creek".  My understanding is that DPS decided decades ago that all law enforcement officers are certified by the state, so therefore jurisdictions are irrelevant.

The reasonable share that Norway receives is 78%. Not zero like us....they told the oil companies that was the cost and if they didn't like it they could go someplace else....and lo and behold the oil companies DIDN'T leave. But I guess Alaskans are more gullible than Norwegians.

Frankly, if the shooters were within hearing range, the charges should have been much more severe.  Bullets can go miles.  A yell maybe a few hundred yards.  If they were within a few hundred yards and shooting toward inhabited area, they are guilty of substantially more serious negligence.

The City bungled the rail project, and now some members of the Charter Commission want the City to manage development along the rail line so that the City can capture revenue from it.  Maybe it sounds good in theory, but rail proves that the City does not have the capacity to do more than to perform the basic functions of a city government -- and it can't even do those well.  When the City gets good at performing those basic functions, only then should it consider expanding to areas where it has no experience.

Brad, your post made me think of some nurse friends over the years who did not want to do shift work so they took jobs in the medical insurance industry reviewing  claims for medical care payments from the insured and they were paid to think of ways to turn down the claim for payments. Before the ACA, they turned down claims for the insured who had pre-existing conditions. Most nurses quit these jobs since it does not fit into saving lives that they trained for.

Sanders isn't a Democrat.  He's merely highjacking the Democratic party because he can't get on any ballot as an independent. 

Sanders admits he needs revolution to win.  Revolutionaries may have hope for him, but there will be no national revolution on the Democratic side of this election. Poor people don't have time to revolt. Only their champion/nannies have the time and money for revolution.

Sanders means what he says, but so does Cruz. Neither can get any of their sky pies baked by the legislators that they caucus with, let alone get any support from the other side.

If Sanders should by some miracle win the Democrats' nomination he will be red-baited and portrayed as Che, beret and all. Hillary can't do that to him--she needs the more rational supporters of Sanders to vote for her, unless his supporters prefer a President Trump.  

America can't survive another "President Gore--woops" situation. Trump will give a whole new meaning to the phrase "executive action."

Muck, Dick Cheney and George W were oblivious to the expanding housing bubble. They were so surprised when it burst. Clinton initiated home loans to people who could not afford them, which fueled the housing boom. Bush-Cheney thought they were responsible for the booming economy. They spent huge money on crazy wars, expanded government (Patriot Act, Homeland Security,TSA) and could not see the corrupt housing loans causing the bubble. Worst presidency in our history. Worse than Obama's. Deficits definitely do matter.

It's been my observation that our Air-Force pilots aren't arrogant, thinking that ground-support is beneath them, but rather, that it is a lot more dangerous than air-to-air combat.  And the infantry holds the A-10, and its pilots in high esteem.  15's, 16's, Tornado's, all were too vulnerable below 10k.  A-10s were so low and slow, they could give the enemy a haircut, and come home with holes in the wings big enough to almost drive a compact car through.  most important though, was that the A-10 pilots were able to fly low and close enough, to see who was enemy, and who was friendly.

The primary reason this project has involved so much construction and costs is the city's commitment to "level of service", which means we won't ever put in transit, pedestrian or cycling amenities that would adversely impact the travel times of single occupant vehicles. 

Agencies that pay attention to the data, like the federal highway administration and CalTrans, have largely done away with LOS. They have rightfully accepted the science that has proven induced demand (building more travel lanes induces more extra driving than those lanes can handle, thus increasing congestion; one trip to SoCal shows what this means).

Here, our backwards traffic planners/engineers continue to be beholden to a failed model. These bozos even shut down the Fern Ridge bike path for half a year (again!) for work that should have taken less than two weeks.

Eugene needs to fire its city manager and all of his managers for at least four tiers down. These people just aren't up to the task.

Please explain why this event requires an endorsement for any kind of protest. Campaign visits to Eugene by presidential candidates Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were met here with lollipops and rainbows (and in the latter case, ice cream cones and a basketball jersey). Upon each's somber return in the wake of the Thurston and UCC shootings, protestors were derided for not respecting the office; you were near the front of that parade of criticism last fall.

I'm not 73, have never protested anything and have never believed telling others how to live is being a good neighbor, never mind a responsible citizen. However, I've long had a fascination with successful people, regardless of their political stripe, who somehow possess the mettle to move mountains. That includes Clinton and Obama, among many others.

Like it or not, Trump has accomplished something quite remarkable. That flaccid guarantee of contentiousness for his visit is not.

I agree that over the years, the lethality of firearms has been "refined" to where both the firearm and ammunition have become more deadly (and also somewhat more safe). And therein lies their efficacy not only for those who would do harm with them but also for those of us who would use them to protect us from those who would do us harm.
As to increased safety, much has been done to develop personal protection ammunition. In decades past, the most commonly available ammunition were cartridges seated with ball or full metal jacket bullets...military grade. Now there are many more choices of cartridges made with expanding and frangible bullets that are more safe because they are designed to avoid over penetration and to create a large wound cavity that assures to a greater extent the debilitation of an attacker (or a victim).
Let's not up the ante on gun control. Rather, let gun owners up the ante training, education, and on secure storage of firearms and ammunition when not in use.

The Gov has given you all an out of this costly, time consuming and generally embarrassing string of legislative council mistakes. Lastly, advice to chair Stevens on what to do at this point: Move ANC legislators to the Atwood building, send the out of ANC ones to their own districts to be with their constituents where they belong and get on with what you were elected to do: shake off your oil soaking and big $$ influence and work for the state's good instead of your egos or pocketbooks.

People who've never had to pay an income tax can't stand the idea of having to pay and they are the worst ones to scream,  and they ARE screaming......   I hear a certain talk radio show in the morning and people call in there and actually BELIEVE that they shouldn't EVER have to contribute by paying state taxes  but they want everything the state has to give them.

Jade: "modesly" is actually an innovative contraction peculiar to discussion of housing patterns, urban demographics and inner-city residential development.  Its etymology is traced to discussion of "more densely" developed urban centers especially in reference to residential units.  In today's usage you might read "modesly" devloped city centers generally promote more affordable urban residential tenancy.   Indeed, it is an esoteric term and it's not surprising it causes some confusion.

The best part of the ACA is that patients could not be denied for existing conditions.  Previously, those patients with seriously expensive conditions were mostly paid through medicare and medicaid paid by the State and the Feds.  Under ACA the really expensive patients got their insurance.  The only difference is that the entire cost of their coverage is born by other ACA rate payers.  23,000 people, roughly 10% of insured people statewide, are paying the entire costs of our most expensive patients.  This is a good bill and should be a priority.

A critical thinking textbook might categorize this post as an example of sweeping generalization. That aside, I would argue that all fields of knowledge have an ideology, though many strive to render it natural or invisible. Subject matter, epistemology, and ideology join hands to the extent that a branch of knowledge focuses on certain questions, enacts characteristic forms of inquiry and ways of knowing that produce certain kinds of beliefs. For example, a field of knowledge like natural science that many would say is fact not ideology embraces a materialist epistemology that runs counter to a spiritualist or religious epistemology. One sees truth revealed in an objective world from a process of observation and experiment. The other sees truth revealed from a divine source recorded in sacred texts by prophets. Individuals can hold multiple views and work within many knowledge systems. Have you explored your own ideology/worldview? Might explain why you feel antagonized by education.

'The reality is if the oil companies do all leave for states with stable tax structures.'

Jesse, how's that working out in the Dakota's? Unless you just fell off the carrot wagon, the Dakota model was used by are august body to push the last tax structure. Never mind that the landowner's there were paid 10x, in cases, than we are for THEIR oil. THEIR oil, get it? So now the model is rapidly collapsing but none of the wizards in Juneau are warning us plebes of those dangers. 

"Educate yourself and stop being ignorant to the fact even your world is touched by this." 

 I've been educated more than once and I suggest that if you can't hack it then leave. This is the best thing that's happened to Alaska since the crash of the 80's. We will end smarter, leaner and all the chaff will fall out as it should. Painful? Absolutely, as it must.

The rape, ruin, and run boys are driving the bus..off the cliff.  It`s their job, it`s what they do.   Judge Gleason, based on "discovered" internal BP documents, told the state (2006 TAPS valuation trial) that it was "too trusting" in dealing with oil companies and their promises (instead of contracts) of "more" or "new" production and "revenue for the state", if only they were given massive up-front tax breaks and subsidies. They hire the best in the world to get that done. 
 And this legislature is helping them get it done.  One of the BP "internal documents" that w discovered in a state/BP tax trial, stated that their Alaska leases would be wildly profitable to at least 2065, and that was EVEN if MO MORE new oil was ever discovered!   It`s time to end Meyer`s "crapshoot" SB21, and end the billion a year in cash credits they have extorted from the state each year going forward.

The real benefit of an income tax will not be in the money raised: what it will do is make people begin pointing out the wasteful expenditures of state government and demand these be eliminated. Right now with nobody paying, these expenses get paid with no negative input.

If you think it is so good exploring for oil in Alaska then join all those that have tried, like bankrupt Buccaneer, Cook Inlet Energy, Miller Energy and others! Pioneer lost $300 million dollars! 

Caelus CEO Jim Musselman has what he has because he earned it, if he was not in Alaska for the last two state oil lease sales they would have been a very bad! 

Wake up,  Alaska is not a nice place to do business even Alaskans can't drill and profit! 

Welfare? Jim may be waking up to the fact that Alaska has ignorant people that don't know what welfare really is! Trust me if  great oil men like Mr. James C. Musselman leave Alaska more Alaskans may need welfare!

HB 247 will hand Alaska's market share to Saudi's prince who caused the glut but Alaska CAN use the protection of the $10 billion constitutional reserve to save the state from this market manipulation! 

HB 247 and SB 130 may go down in history as Walker's Folly because it will stop investor from drilling in Alaska for a long time!

And if it turns out that the drug you bought in Mexico was baking soda, you don't have any right to sue, gringo.   The US bears the price of the research and development and all the litigation costs, then the rest of the World that doesn't do the R&D and doesn't have the US' avaricious plaintiffs' bar gets the benefit.

You buy a drug in Mexico, you're buying from the guy who paid the last best bribe to the guy who prints the downloaded label.

As the saying goes - some people get so lost in the trees that they can't see the forest.  Such is the case with Mr. Haycox.  The reason politicians and most Alaskans not employed by local, federal or state government (as Mr. Haycox is) are anti-tax is not due to some allegiance to an idealist doctrine.  It's because they understand what is going on.  Low oil prices have resulted in massive carnage for the oil companies.  Thousands of people have lost jobs.  Budgets have been cut by billions.  But at the same time our oil-fueled state government is non-responsive.  A few symbolic cuts have been made.  But absolutely nothing compared to the oil companies.  Until the massive carnage of head and budget cuts is realized by the state government, there is no need to look at taxes.  Mr. Haycox needs to pull his academic head out of the past and get in touch with the current reality in Alaska.

Just make sure that not one watt goes to mining, not one public penny either. Never. Donlin Gold  
(Barrick and Nova Gold) will use appoximately the same amount of natural gas (for instance) as Anchorage. Check the really awful human rights and environmental record of such companies who would come here to mine and use hydroelectricity. They would make a large take-home-out-of-Alaska profit if they could use hydroelectricity (at our land, water and state budget expense). Tell them to repair the lives, lands and waters they've damaged before they ever come here. Why was Jim Bowles, a Conoco Phillips executive on the board of the Nature Conservancy in a time of climate change? There should be an adversarial relationship between those trying to save the earth and those whose activities would destroy it. Are there mining executives on the board now?
Output: No
With so many bad attitudes toward smaller oil companies regurgitating false talking points it is no wonder Alaska's oil production has dropped from over 2 million to 500,000 on the North Slope and oil also had a massive decline fron 270,000 barrels per day to 15,000 in the Cook Inlet. 

Keep up the insults and harsh attitudes and see what that gets! 

Soon no one will produce enough because of poor treatment like this attack on Hilcorp by the AOGCC and people like Estun!

And then, there are those who will sinfully and without just cause attack other human beings; many I've known in Alaska
who hide behind their Bible and Flag, are like bullies who will do whatever they wish so long as they come out on top. 

Character assassinations and the whole ego power trip, to include labeling others who are no less Christian (or often moreso, that's the rub) as gay, liberal, or any number of odd things to distract from their own imperfections, lies, hateful and ungodly unchristian acts of vulgar mean-spirited spite. 

I'm one of those closet christians whose life has been forever muddied by your 'faithful bigot Christ R US' materialistic gain society. OK to rob us of dignity, huh? 

Call me gay or queer, and sell the idea to keep me from a full life in a small population state. Can I class-action sue all of you Posers in Christ? I won't because God is watching. LOL :)

Mr. Donkel, you make it sound like a triumph of pure capitalism. If ENI, Armstrong, Great Bear, & other emerging Players could speak freely and with no fear of retaliation by the Troika that constitutes Komrad Oil in Alaska, they would tell you about anti-competitive machinations by the Troika. They would tell you about kickback schemes and racketeering in their negotiations with the Troika to get access to stranded reserves. They would come clean about cost allocation schemes affecting tariffs and taxes among the Trioka. Alaska is handicapped as a regulator and a partner in this game where the Directorate of Komrad Oil plots and schemes against the interests of the People. And thanks to the toady complicity of the Republikanskaya, the only institution with the power to bring the Troika to heel is toothless and clawless. 

All Hail Komrad Oil!

I have been thinking the exact same thing since this story first appeared. The attempt to "sensationalize" the incident before all the facts were gathered to paint a "certain" picture based on the authors views is ridiculous. This nonsense has got to stop RG!

Native:  It's affirming to read such a positive post.  

My background is 28 years of teaching/counseling dysfunctional adolescents.  So I've been called most everything you can imagine and many things you can't.  Each of those exchanges was a opportunty to discuss both the source of the anger and, at the same time, consider other ways of dealing with issues.  

While it's probably presumptuous of me, I'd like to be able to help Boozer deal with his anger involving the Markets.  It "eats you away", both figuratively and literally, to spend your days with intense unresolved anger.  

Thank you for your supportive words....regards, Gary

Wow Artemis, it was just a pleasure to read your comment. It is great how you started by arguing for equality and inclusivity, and then finished with a gem of a crazy-person rant.  While I agree that the term "racist" is sometimes misused, often times, it is quite appropriate. Thank God we don't live in YOUR America.

Does Imago Dei allow women to preach when they are menstruating?
There's a ton of stuff about a woman's period in the Bible.  

 “When a woman has a discharge, and the discharge in her body is blood, she shall be in her menstrual impurity for seven days, and whoever touches her shall be unclean until the evening. And everything on which she lies during her menstrual impurity shall be unclean. Everything also on which she sits shall be unclean. And whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening. And whoever touches anything on which she sits shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening. Whether it is the bed or anything on which she sits, when he touches it he shall be unclean until the evening. ...

Bycatch is killing off the king fishery in Western Alaska. That must be corrected with lower caps to stop the fishery when they catch 3000 kings. Also, it appears as though the administration does not have a good grasp of the fishing industry in the state. Poor management will kill off our natural renewable resources if we are not careful.

Oh S__T.  It doesn't work on black bears?   That's what comes to visit outside my apt.  I have pet rabbits that I put in a pen in my yard.  I stay with them, but was going to get some bear spray.  I was the lady that chased the black bear into the next neighborhood in 2010.  He had my pet rabbit.  A day that is burned into my psyche forever.  My behavior was an automatic response.  There was no stopping the signal started in my head because I heard my rabbit screaming and then going to my feet.  Maybe I'll just start screaming and yelling and chasing a bear off if it comes to my apartment.  I also considered keeping a pan and hammer to bang on when I'm out with the bunny.

All they are missing now is a steam calliope to play circus music as the clown cars crash into each other.   So another one of their brilliant office space deals is forcing them to pack up and move like a bunch of displaced refugees. Now without a published reason for this special session they are preparing to move North a thousand miles into a building with an illegal lease that forced them to purchase it and to absorb all future operating costs. 
 After two ninety day sessions over two years and with all that time in the interim to deal with legislation, over 500 bills remain unreported as resolved.  Is this really the bunch I want guiding us into an equity partnership in a $65 billion dollar pipeline project?

AP reported they have contacted all of the Democratic Superdelegates last week and all but 45 will vote for Clinton.
"She has 520 currently right now. Almost 70% of her current Super delegate count came before the Primary even began. She has gained 161 super delegates since voting began. 
Bernie has 39. He has gained 31."
I was very concerned with the report Bernie supporters are harrassing these delegates.  They aren't changing and Sander's campaign guy Jeff Weaver just said--"none contacted will vote differently."

He would be crazy to have it anywhere near central Eugene.    The audience would overwhelming be protesters.   The rally would end up a huge failure.  

One almost wonders if he is coming here for the very purpose of putting on a spectacle that will garner him more headlines??

Maybe he would like to have a headline saying that liberals rioted at one of his rallies?   Protesters will need to control themselves, and not let Trump supporters bait them.

Let me echo the sentiments of many other commentators.  We do not need to buy any buildings.  We do not even need actual LIO offices.  Modern technology can do the job.   I like the idea of using schools and other existing buildings for local meetings when needed. In any case the legislature does not listen to the people they represent.  I for one am against any form of taxation or restructure of Permanent Fund until the legislature cleans up its own act.

The previous cost to the university was $755,000 plus Cleavenger's legal fees, which would have run up the cost past the $1M total they are now paying. I'm not arguing that this whole affair was handled well at all, but they were probably happy to shave off a couple of hundred thousand at this point.
