Note from Rep. Gara: The End (Of Session) Is Near. Or It Isn’t. An Update Anyway.
April 2, 2012
We have a number of priorities that have passed, may pass, or are on life support but could pass in the next 14 days. One of our priorities is NOT an extended Special Session that takes us past the voter-approved 90-day session. And when I say “special,” I mean it in the way an irritated woman in a bar calls an annoying drunk guy with unending and bad pickup lines “special.”
I think we can get our work done on time, but I’m one of sixty votes. I won’t detail these bills, but this week there will be a constitutional amendment to provide state money to private and religious schools – something I think will detract from needed support for public education, and will vote against.

Rep. Doogan in Juneau: SPECIAL I REALLY NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE EDITION
March 30, 2012
Thomas Jefferson we ain’t
Welcome to constitutional amendment week. Please don your powdered wig and listen up.
I’m not a big fan of constitutional amendments. Some of them, like the one establishing a right to privacy, are great. The jury is still out on others, like the Alaska Permanent Fund. Still others, the one outlawing same-sex marriage, for instance, are a stupid mistake.
