Rep. Kawasaki’s Juneau Note: Back to School Edition
September 13, 2012
Welcome Back to the Classroom
School is back in full swing, with students from Pre-K to UA resuming their school year routines. This time of year always inspires and reminds me of the important role quality education plays in Alaska. And of course, please be aware of the increase in vehicle and foot traffic around schools and bus stops. Let’s keep our students safe this school year.
Please remember to slow down and beware for flashing yellow lights to keep our kids safe this school year. School zones are marked at 20 miles an hour for safety.

Berta’s Briefings from Rep. Gardner: Back to School Update
September 10, 2012
With our children back at school, I have been thinking about the beginning of each school year as a chance to make a fresh start with the winds of change. Unfortunately, the intense winds we received across Anchorage last week were a bit too strong – as many of our neighbors are still reeling from the aftermath.

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

Note from Rep. Gara: Corporate-Funded Ads Paint Skewed Picture: Tuesday Ballot Measures
August 24, 2012
So far Exxon, British Petroleum, Shell and ConocoPhillips have spent over a half million dollars with deceptive ads telling you how their companies want you to vote Tuesday. That’s the new election world we live in. In this world of unlimited election spending, facts should matter more than spin, and when corporations fund ads you should take a close look to see if they are trying to spin you into voting against the public’s interest. I believe they are here. What’s good for outside corporations isn’t always what’s good for you.
