Opinion: Five thousand reasons to be skeptical (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Alaskans should know better than residents of the other 49 states when a politician is trying to buy their votes, particularly when the promise is a big fat dividend landing in their pockets. Iâd like to think Alaskans will be more skeptical than other voters of President Donald Trumpâs Sept. 9 political speech at the Republican Party midterm convention in Dallas, when the promise-them-anything-but-never-deliver self-promoter in chief made the news with a trillion-dollar bribe.

Opinion: Where one news model fades, another grows (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Newspapers used to stand tall and healthy in their communities across the country, Alaska included.

That decision will be whether to uphold the system of ranked choice voting and open primaries that has been state law since 2022. The system takes away from closed political parties the power to select candidates and lets Alaskans make their own decisions about who can lead the state through open primary elections.
