These last few weeks, my focus has been on the state legislature and compiling resources for Alaskans to voice their support for bills that would broadly support Fairbanksians and people all across our state, such as increasing the Base Student Allocation (BSA) for our public schools
Yes, attend the assembly meetings. It important to note just how reckless and chaotic the assembly has become. Some new members have obviously not read nor understood their packets and are flailing around for hours at public expense. On one routine ordinance the assembly ignored two chief-level fire officers’ testimony and based their decision on a quote from a cancelled reality TV show host. Elections are important. I fear this expensive nonsense will continue until a new assembly is seated. The public should attend, listen, and voice their opinions, but most importantly vote in the next municipal election.
