Been missing in action due to being in action. This is a warning to those who ignore politics and who don't vote.
Alaska was the 5th state to legalize recreational marijuana. We are the reddest of the red states. We receive a check every year. This is derived from oil taxes and royalties. The last Governor okayed this payment at $1800 last year. He did it by basically halving the due payment. People flipped out even after the Governor laid out why including the fact WE HAVE NOT RECOVERED AT ALL FROM THE ECONOMIC DISASTER WROUGHT BY BUSH!
Mike Dunleavy ran for the Republicans with a promise of a FULL payment along with 3 years of extra payments to make up for what was cut before. Basically $4500 @ year for the next 3 years. Everything else but "we're going to be tough on crime and criminals" was absent.
The first thing this motherfucker does is fire Marijuana Control Board members he could and replaced them with 2 prohibitionists. One a bitch from Fairbanks who spent her entire time on the borough council fighting pot. Fighting license requests, complaining about the odor and more.
The second? A fucking Alaska State Trooper who believes in enforcing ALL laws including federal.
The kicker? Virtually every legal cannabis grower or business owner is strongly pro- conservative. Republican voters all.
Watch your backs and prepare for the inevitable blowback from the haters once it's legal. If it's actually made legal.
