We have sent nice messages to the ADN
and not one of them ever passes their very restrictive guidelines
their editors have set for publishing. These are comments on the
PFD, state taxes, user fees, the longevity (Lgvt.) bonus, and no oil
taxes!
No oil taxes is the usual smoke screening, this administration has
given birth to. They are rulers of their domain (ALASKA) and no oil
taxes are the promotion of a gas "pipe line dream" that came here
with our new Governor from Washington, DC. We now see all the other
senators there fully support his every move. Most of it is in
support of the election coming up!
This gas pipeline dream flows with
the Senior Disabled fixed incomes. That generates the flow of the
gas and the insults of our senior citizens, our vulnerable adults
and every low income individual. Now the (Lgvy.) is all absorbed, by
other state programs that assist the majority of those who receive
the (Lgvt.) so called drug assistance which has nothing to do with
drug assistance, but is just part of the big dream, smoke screen.
These programs were designed by
politicians to show the states powers to give and take as they
please. These are usual double standards in this administration who
actually gave birth to the standards they set to control the incomes
of the most vulnerable of today's society, the Senior disabled and
all those who are recipients of government assisted programs with
fixed poverty level incomes.
We who watch closely at the oil stocks and have recently noted that
there are several Alaskan Native corps., who demanded a 40% increase
in their earnings of dividends and their stock from these oil
producers and they received what they requested. These Native corps.
will now receive what ever is taken from the PFD's by this Admin.
These people will not care, about future PFD's not being paid.
When we look back a few years, we see
the very same thing occur with the fishing industry which was our
greatest state resource. The state came in, and took full control
and today there are less than 2% state owners, who still have
permits and who fish. This is how our state works, they eventually
run off all the locals and take all their incomes, then their
businesses. Then when these people who built this state become
seniors, after having faithfully dedicated their lives and talents
for many years, only to have their retirement income taken to pay
for state budget short falls.
MAN! Don't we all know how the
politicians work by now and yet we continue to vote these people
into office!! Go, go Republicans! Vote more of
these sorts in to run the state! Thanks for the chance to
voice our opinions while the ADN trashes more voices daily, by their
editors who choose not to publish, the honest opinions, of the
citizens of this great state.
