Elise Patkotak had a chance to write about something important but in the end, her article reflects what really is wrong with Alaska politics and why its so mess up. Elise is neck deep in party politics. Politicians in Juneau are bloodsuckers to the people of Alaska. It doesn't matter if they are Republicans or Democrats. If the power were reverse, we would still have this set of anthropomorphic mosquitos sucking up the overtime money for their own financial gain. Elise's effort to blame this just on one party reflects why people like her and her ink in Juneau, are the real problem to our state.
