    Maybe Niki Tshibaka can get some new and more kinder city employees while the outgoing retire and leave for greener pastures. By word of mouth city departments are remembered as a toxic work environment from being led by controlling and dysfunctional supervisors and staff.

    Maybe this Muni Attorney will abide by the Law and not break it.

    I’m hoping for a love for the US Constitution to be displayed and a love for liberty of our countrymen as well as support for private property rights not to run slipshod over by left leaning recreation types. We have provided already generous miles of trails and park expensive facilities. No more street redesigns. We love Anchorage just as the streets are designed already. Anchorage doesn’t have partners. We stand alone. If you need to partner; it ain’t us. You go hang out in your federal camps all by yourself. Keep your tentacles some place else. Same goes for state. We are local. Get it?

    WHERE’S OUR VOICE? It’s been muted by outside mechanations lately. Who needs to hear from the Westside? You don’t even need to call and if you do it better be baby talk.
