Maine is one of the few states to dabble in the awful practice of ranked-choice voting, or RCV. RCV hasn't worked out well anywhere it has been tried; trust me, I'm from Alaska. We don't seem to be able…
Wow – the coldest March on record. In Alaska. I’m told this is one of, if not the, coldest winter on record in our part of the Susitna Valley, and I believe it, with overnight temps well below zero right through the…
