Rep. Petersen’s Report from the Capitol: Muldoon Fire Station Open; Turning Waste Into Energy
October 2, 2012
Muldoon Fire Station 6 is open and operational! The dedication will be October 27th, from 1-4pm at 1301 Patterson St and I hope you’ll join me there.
The new station is located near Begich Middle School on Debarr to serve the Muldoon area. The new location will improve response times, which is important because every minute counts during an emergency. Senator Wielechowski and I worked hard to secure funding for the new fire station and we couldn’t have done it without strong support from the community. Thank you for making our neighborhoods safer!

Note from Rep. Gara: Rehabilitating the Truth On Oil Taxes, Avoidable School Cuts, Record UA Foster Youth Enrollment
October 1, 2012
Would You Like Some Facts With Your Hyperbole, Sir?
It hasn’t surprised me to hear some of the claims on the oil tax debate this past year. The implication is that those who didn’t support the Governor’s $2 billion giveaway (which allows companies to take our tax dollars and spend them outside Alaska if they wish) are happy with the status quo. Horsepucky. Hey, did you know there is no computer spell check for horsepucky? Well, that’s not important. Anyway, no one in the Legislature voted for the status quo. NO ONE.

Rep. Petersen’s Report from the Capitol: Wind Storm Recovery Update - Appreciating the Crews and Improving Emergency Response
September 13, 2012
I just wanted to let you know the National Weather Service is predicting another storm for this weekend. It’s not supposed to be as severe but it’s still important to be prepared.
Thank you to everyone who came out for the 2rd Annual Spirit of Muldoon Picnic. I was honored to serve my neighbors and constituents burgers and brats at the proposed future site of the Muldoon Town Square Park. I was especially impressed the number of East Anchorage residents who donated emergency supplies like batteries, candles, canned food, and ice to help their neighbors at the Spirit of Muldoon picnic, despite having less than 24 hours to organize this supply drive.
