Anyone who would take $460 million from the Juneau economy will never receive my vote. That is exactly what Gov. Bill Walker did. This money would have provided $30-$40 dollar an hour jobs for the Juneau area for at least five to seven years.<\/p>\n

Oil is back up to $70 per barrel. It’s funny, this administration does not want to talk about that; could it be they would like to keep you in the dark?<\/p>\n
