As Mayor, the Port of Alaska is one of my top priorities. This port is not only crucial to Alaskans, but to the nation. This video shows just how dire the situation is. I urge you to take a few minutes to view the message below.

Tonight, the Assembly chose to keep nearly 160 people sleeping on the floor of the Sullivan Arena. This is wrong.

Is this the Anchorage we want?
