		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been so immersed in the work related to finalizing Anchorage&#8217;s new Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP), which replaces the former Long Range Transportation Plan, that it took a question from a Fairview friend to remind me I hadn&#8217;t provided a recent update.  Oops!  So, operating on the better-late-than-never theory, here&#8217;s what&#8217;s up. Local work on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Full disclosure warning; the topic of this post has previously been described as falling into the MEGO category.  If you want to keep reading I obviously can&#8217;t stop you, but don&#8217;t later complain you weren&#8217;t warned&#8230; Obviously, that means it&#8217;s time to once again talk about the tax cap.  For those who haven&#8217;t before it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am sorry.  I’m going to write more to explain why I’m sorry, not to seek forgiveness or proclaim some semblance of innocence, but to offer perspective on how we got to this point.  None of it, however, will begin to excuse how we ended up with an election in disarray. When I first sought [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to everyone who participated in the fifth inning of Assembly insider baseball, though I was surprised at the weak performance of respondents.  I guess Assembly goings-on are sufficiently uninteresting that many of you have lost track!  But, without further ado, here&#8217;s the answers: (And, for those of you who missed it, here are the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As faithful readers know, this coming Tuesday (April 3) features our municipal election.  What some may not know is that, even though there are no Assembly seats at stake (&#8220;only&#8221; the mayor&#8217;s office, three school board seats and various ballot propositions are up for consideration), the Assembly will reorganize at our April 17 meeting. At [...]]]></description>

Guessers can e-mail me their best efforts at matching the Assembly member to the fact and the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to yet another installment of what is sometimes referred to, not so fondly, as the “silly season,” the period preceding even relatively minor elections like Anchorage’s municipal contests.  It’s a place where, all too often, hyperbole shines and facts whither.  Nevertheless, we’ll ferret out a fact or two just to keep in practice. Given [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Readers may have noted a recent article in the local paper discussing neighborhood concerns surrounding the realignment of Chester Creek near Muldoon and DeBarr roads.  Unsurprisingly, this was the most time-intensive matter at our February 28 meeting. The crux of the issue was thus; should we accept a federal grant to re-route the creek?  Because [...]]]></description>

The occasion was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was fascinating to read a recent article regarding funding for KABATA, the state-sanctioned organization committed to building a Knik Arm Crossing without regard for its effects &#8211; financial, traffic or otherwise &#8211; on Southcentral Alaska.  Even those who might be expected to tout development at any cost, like the Anchorage Daily Planet, are casting [...]]]></description>
