Frank_Costello you overlook that TCC started with free money and free land taken from working taxpayers. That has turned into a welfare program for free health care, housing, transportation, education, heat, 4-wheelers, boats, electricity, telephones, TV, travel and you name it. It is also for natives only ... not those working taxpayers paying for it. It is hard to imaging how some of the native leaders can sit and watch their culture willingly evolve into a welfare class of people.
Now, with great vision and stewardship, TCC wants to partner with more of these working taxpayers on a for- profit basis claiming they contribute to Alaska .... give me a break please. TCC contributes precisely nothing to Alaska or Alaskans., They are an exclusive club and working taxpayers are paying the bill. Like BigMikes sewer job …LOL.
8A contractors … now there is a real scheme bringing out most all of the sleaze bags. That has been going on forever and for the most part they are asked to just stay home and we will send you a check ...LOL. 98% incompetent. The remainder use some non-profit like TCC to gain that status instead of being competitive like they should. That in itself breads poor performance and sub-standard work. 8A contracts are right up there with cleaning the out house!

John you are correct and the icing on the cake is that if you are on welfare, a native, work for the government/school district or in the legislature your health care is absolutely FREE! In fact why limit it lets make it free for their entire family as well. When it is free who cares what it cost!
There are very few people who actually work and pay real money into the system .... oh well.

But the problem has actually become that the resource is managed by the state / Feds and primarily for the benefit of the natives ... not ALL Alaskans pursuant to the constitution cited by akflyfisher91. You can’t cherry pick the phrases from the constitution without putting them in proper context.
That being the case, I would as soon see all of the management stop, save the money and let nature take its course. When the state wants to manage it for ALL Alaskans then we can review the subject.
Under no circumstances, however, do these loony tune animal rights groups deserve any consideration.

Mike Kelly is also one of the primary reasons GVEA is in the current mess. He has done nothing for you, me or Fairbanks and he never will.
GVEA p[aid his pension (a dandy one at that) TWICE ... now he is one number three.
I would like to see Kelly leave the state and the country ... Iraq comes to mind!
I remember when the hospital was a community effort and it was debt free. Now it will literally kill you to go there. The ER is pawned out to a private outfit and they are making on the order of $125K each doing just about nothing.

11801N ... Strle and Cole would have needed some credibility to have lost any ...lol. Can’t misplace what you never had.
I guess Chief of Staff Pat Cole must be a socialist at heart. Tax, tax, tax and he even think that the city sprawl is a good thing ... BS I say.

I wonder how much that will cost the working taxpayer in the final analysis ... They already got the land for nothing and now it looks like we will get to pay for their eats in addition ... it never ends.

I must agree with all of the above comments. In style the staff and editor of the FDNM show their stupidity and political posturing ... I think the staff and editors must be socialists.

"The annexation would bring in a net revenue of $388,000"
And there you have the entire reason ... Fred's get nothing in return and you, the shopper, will get a 3% cost increase across the board for the pleasure. It may seem small but Fred's is not going to pay it so you will ...LOL.

I knew Hank and he was the real deal. A great loss to see him go ... he was a super hero!
