"An Informed Voter Is The Best Defense Against Bad Government"

Hello Fellow Voters,

The 23rd. Alaska Legislature enters its third week tomorrow.  Between the State House and Senate, a total of 127 bills, 15 joint resolutions, 6 concurrent resolutions, and 6 resolutions have been introduced so far.  Each piece of legislation will be examined closely by our staff and reported to you on the Alerts page. 

Members submit letters and other items of importance for all to see

Several members have copied us with their letters, and we have posted them on our Opinion page.  Take a look at what others are saying, and don't forget to copy us with your letters for possible inclusion on the opinion page.

Take the AK Voters weekly survey!

Go to the home page now and cast your vote on the questions below:

Survey Questions of the Week:

1.  Should the Permanent Fund be invested in State of Alaska or Alaska Municipal general obligation or revenue bonds (currently only 1% of fund invested in AK, all of which is in CD's)?

2.  Should there be a constitutional amendment that sets a specific time limit for repayment of all money "borrowed" by the legislature from our Constitutional Budget Reserve (CBR) account?

3.  Are you in favor of Alaska State Legislators imposing any restrictions on investment policies of the Permanent Fund?

If you have suggestions for future survey questions, feel free to email them to us.
