We count on each other to stay home as much as possible, to maintain good hygiene and physical distancing.

In a year marked by natural and human-created disasters, Anchorage has been an island of stability in a sea of turmoil.

The women and men who built and bequeathed Alaska were tough, fair, and smart, they had wisdom and common sense. We need to draw on that spirit today.

We believe Proposition 9 is urgently needed to restore the quality of our public places and to assist chronically homeless residents into permanent housing.

OPINION: When we offer housing and hope to the homeless we do the right thing, save money and strengthen Anchorage.

OPINION: Anchorage is ready to play its part in the wise opening of the Arctic region.

OPINION: The last week of mayoral runoff race turned ugly, but Berkowitz campaign stayed on the high road.

OPINION: Public safety, adequate housing and good public schools are key to building a safe and prosperous Anchorage for all of us.

OPINION: Given his own history, Sean Parnell's personal attack of Bill Walker for supposed inconsistency is particularly brazen.

OPINION: The unstable political arena is poorly suited to optimizing the tradeoff between variables affecting Alaska's revenues and oil developments. Long-term success requires a different course from the one we're on.

It means something to be an Alaskan, something unique to each of us, and something shared by all of us. More than any other place, we have the resources -- both physical and human -- to face the future on our own terms.

There's a storm front on Alaska's horizon. It's blowing in from the Gulf of Mexico, and the sooner we get ready for it, the better we'll be able to weather it successfully.

How we can eliminate oil taxes and stimulate production.
