This is the place to talk about Alaska politics -- state, local, national. Public life in the Last Frontier has probably never been more interesting than right now -- the governor as candidate for vice president, the broad and still-evolving corruption investigation, a big election, powerful members of Congress under scrutiny, and the usual hardball Alaska politics. Come here for news, tidbits and information, and join the discussion. Keep your comments civil and on point. Avoid personal attacks. Do not use profanity. Posts that violate the Terms of Use will be deleted. Repeat offenders will be banned.

The governor needs to keep the special sessions coming.
If they need more time and they don't call their own special session the governor needs to keep them in special sessions until winter is over. They can gavel out and show their contempt for the will of the people or they can get off their lazy rear ends and get 'er done for Alaskans this time.
Get 'er done or we'll vote you out.
