The range ordinance was directly a result of when the MSB and City of Wasilla killed the proposal to build an indoor range in the old fred meyer building in wasilla that is now the eye sore known as U Haul. I'm not saying he's a terrible person but just because you give land away that wasn't used for the hopes and ideas of a shooting range for kids (with no funding mechanisms attached that I am aware of in any capacity) does not make you a perfect person. Voting for someone because of 1 policy decision is ridiculous
I say follow the money, Yudnt didn't care about building homes in violation of the clean water act and was fined $107,000 and then hit with an additional $77,500. Thats for building homes in swamps and marsh around Wasilla Lake which is stocked with fish by ADF&G . Also he failed to recuse himself with his buddy deal with Mookie Tew when he tried to bypass public input with expanding the amount of gravel the MSB mine without public notice by 10 fold.
The Valley is just like anchorage with their politicians and friends giving hook up deals the only problem is out here people just don't look into it or talk about it. It is the West Virginia of the north at times. Friends Brothers and In laws (Look at Dee McKey who essentially took over for her husband and is totally inept and demanded seniors and disabled people show tax records to prove they "need" the disability tax break even though its in STATE law).
On his list of "achievements" was stopping the MSB from becoming a 1st class borough, that is a huge thing that I did like because many people don't know the difference. a 2nd class borough the voters have to approve many things in order to get them done. Most voters here don't know the differences between the different classes of boroughs/cities or even who their assembly person is. He also bumped the senior and disability tax break which was another positive. But If he's going get my vote I have many more questions. Like when will MSB get a full time fire department for the core areas ? , what will he do differently than Wilson ?, How does he feel about legalized gambling as a state revenue source ?
