I find it Fascinating when we the Citizens have a difficult time with facts, and communication in order to make good decisions. I do hope the frontiersman runs this before the anchorage daily news runs theirs. Daily News contacted me two weeks ago and informed me they were going to run it this week. We have little more than two weeks before election day. Good Luck Frontiersman!
Here are the Frontiersman Questions & my answers for those who want to be informed: (in a timely manner)
3. What is your estimation of how the mayor is doing in his first year running the city? 4. Would you support an outdoor shooting range at the Curtis D. Menard Memorial Sports Complex? 5. Would you support Wasilla following Houston’s lead in attempts to break the Borough in half? |
3) I believe that Mayor Rupright has brought a great amount of zeal and determination to an office that is not usually seen in a newly elected official. It appears that he is very committed to his work. However, it also appears that in his drive to do what he thinks is right, he loses sight of his duty and responsibility to the public to listen to and heed conflicting opinions. I believe he’s doing the best job that he thinks he can do at this point in time, and I think he’ll do even better as he gets more experience at this level of public service.
4) In it’s current concept, design, and location; absolutely not! However, I strongly believe there is a need for a range available to the public and I am fully supportive of responsible firearm ownership, training, and use.
5) Not at this time. I believe that if there are perceived problems between the government bodies, then treat the problem and not the symptoms. Each body has different responsibilities, and there should be close planning and leadership so as not to have overlapping or duplication of services, nor overreaching authority. One also has to be careful to not overreact. If something like this were to happen without adequate planning, how does it benefit anyone if the end result is more government, wasteful spending, and less services for the public?
