Our concern with Ballot Measure 1 is that it will unnecessarily apply the brakes to our economy, leading to fewer jobs of all kinds, but especially in the trucking industry.

It was refreshing to read the ADN editorial March 6, "Fair share of stimulus: Fund what's needed now, leave gas line for later." Our state leaders need to seriously talk about major upgrade work for our transportation system. The Alaska Trucking Association has long advocated more investment in our highway system.
