Ross, fact is fact.  Since the start of 1977  Prudhoe Bay oil boom, the Alaskan legislature became a free gifting, free spending, and irresponsible political body.  No place or nobody is undeserving of AK welfare transfer payment

Why does the Juneau AK DOE run the U.S.A.'s most expensive K-12 school system which is simultaneously U.S.A.'s  least proficient school system in math and English?  "DUH", the answer is because the expensive AK DOE budget is not for an educational system at all.  The AK DOE has become a "well hidden" BUSH village recreation center-dancehall system ... in criminal wastage of money and native lives!  

Why is it that most AK families with college aged children choose send their kids out of state for higher education?
