Today I toured @wvhWolfpack, @LHS_Malemutes, and Boreal Sun Charter School. Before going back to Juneau, I am touring schools in the @fsdk12 not only to connect with teachers and students, but also to see first hand the real life impacts of underfunding education. (1/6)

It’s official! I’m reporting in Juneau again 😎 After a little over a month of freelancing and travel, I’m happy to announce that today is my first day as the new city reporter for @KTOOpubmedia! I’m so happy I get to continue reporting in this amazing place.
if you hire me to work on your team i will remember everyone's birthday, but i will privately say "happy birthday" to anyone who hates public acknowledgement of their birthday. this is a promise and is one of the top skills i bring to a work environment.
Salmon pricing mystery at TJ’s. Can AK pink: $3.99/6oz. Can sockeye: Also $3.99? For 7.5oz? Cheaper than pink. How can that be? Says “wild caught” but doesn’t say AK Can AK pink, large: Also $3.99?! (No wisecracks about pinks, please. Still 100% better than canned tuna)
This past session, @SenWielechowski & I pushed the Dunleavy Admin & @AlaskaDOTPF to add more money for Southcentral snow removal on the Transport Finance Subcommittee. We succeeded in getting an additional $500k, which wasn't nearly enough-- just a small win. However... 1/12
We have to ask ourselves, seriously, if we can maintain new facilities. And every time we hear of a road being widened or a new road going in, we should think to ourselves: "Snow removal is going to get a little worse next year." 11/12
It's time we shifted our thinking & came to understand that increasing our lane miles, which we are still doing at about 3% per year in Southcentral according to the information I received while on AMATS, directly relates to poorer maintenance and reduced snow removal. 7/12
The temptation to do this is almost irresistible, given the federal dollars & the ability to point to a "win" for one's district. I fell victim to this while on the Assembly, and I've seen it in even some of my more thoughtful colleagues: they want more & wider streets. 6/12
