Dear Constituents and Neighbors:
A celebration was held and an award was given this past June to highlight a District 22 project and its final passage in the State Capital Budget. The award for the Alexander Street drainage Project completion included a presentation as an example of how communities and neighbors can make a difference. This project is located in the eastern side of the Airport Heights Community Council. The project process started formally about three years ago. If you watch the video, linked to this page, you can see that the ‘start’ was when enough neighbors started talking about what was happening in their basements (each had not mentioned the problem to fellow condo association members, thinking that they were the only one with disgusting corrosive pools in their crawl-spaces.)

Rep. Tuck’s Community Connection: A Time to Give Thanks; Holiday Help Needed by Local Charities
November 21, 2012

But shouldn’t we always be thankful? Not only when our burdens are relieved but also when we are experiencing good times and during bad times?

Rep. Kerttula’s Newsletter: Oil & Gas Taxes: Give Oil Companies the Right Incentives
October 7, 2012
One of the most important things the Legislature deals with is taxes
for oil and gas. The reason it’s so important is because approximately 80 to 90 percent of the State of Alaska’s general fund revenues come from these taxes. That means oil and gas revenues are responsible for funding schools, building roads and all the other things the government does for Alaskans.
This week, the Anchorage Daily News ran an opinion piece I wrote describing why it’s a bad idea to change our current structure.
Thank you for reading my newsletter. I appreciate hearing from you, so please stop by the office, call, write or email.
