I welcomed last week’s announcement that the start of construction for the Cascade Point ferry terminal will be delayed until after Gov. Mike Dunleavy leaves office. Residents of Juneau, Haines and Skagway overwhelmingly oppose it. Dunleavy’s successor should promptly terminate all work on the project and immediately fire the political appointees who purposely misled the public they serve.  

During Rep. Nick Begich III’s address to the Legislature last week, Rep. Zach Fields (D-Anchorage) briefly held up a sign that read “Ice out of Alaska.” The minority caucus correctly called it “a clear violation of Uniform Rule 26, Mason’s Manual, and the established customs and traditions of the Alaska Legislature.” 

There’s a new 15-second ad out that claims “Dan Sullivan always puts Alaska first.” Don’t be fooled. If he hadn’t been putting the interests of President Donald Trump first, more than a few hardcore MAGA Alaskans would have filed to run against him.
