Why Bill Walker is the Best for Alaska By Mary Lynne Dahl October 09, 2014
I have never written a public letter in support of a political candidate, but I am doing so today because I believe Alaska is facing some extremely critical issues that require the strength of character and leadership that only one candidate offers us. That candidate is Bill Walker. The critical issues facing us as Alaskans are deficit spending by our state government and the cost of energy in our state. Under Sean Parnell, Alaska is spending $7 million per day more than we are bringing in, which will eliminate our state savings account entirely in about 6 years. This is unacceptable. On the energy issue, Alaskans pay some of the highest energy costs in the nation even though we own the resource. Barrow, by comparison, pays the lowest cost for gas in the nation, because the NARL gas fields were transferred to the North Slope Borough years ago. We could do this all across Alaska. Make no mistake; energy is the lifeblood of any economy. We have the resource here in Alaska, but we are not using it wisely. Bill Walker is the only candidate with a solid plan to fix our economic and energy problems. Sincerely, Mary Lynne Dahl
