Lekanoff was talking about the big Post Office that was built in Dutch Harbor. A government building. During Reagan's reign. The Post Office built many offices around the state and elsewhere, during the 80's. 
Now during Obama years, the Republicans have made the Post Office pay for retired workers 75 years into the future. It's breaking the PO. But the Republicans want to privatize anyway. No other government agency pays for itself, just the PO. No other government agency has to pay for retirees that aren't even born yet, just the PO.  So, many offices built around Alaska and the lower 48, are closing due to this added tax.
