News-Miner misses the point with lazy broadside against all legislators

Fairbanks would lose legislative representation under John Binkley's plan

With no Dunleavy objections, campaign contribution limits are toast
With no Dunleavy objections, campaign contribution limits are toast

When Alaska Attorney General Tregarrick Taylor wrings his hands and moans that he can’t possibly appeal a major case because there is “no certainty of success” and the case may drag on for months or years and waste money, rest assured he is lying.
