It's so podunk that <strong>BY LAW</strong> the Legislature can <strong>ONLY </strong>work 90 days in a calendar year - that's right - government is part-time in Alaska. It is ABSURD to think that someone with Alaska political experience is ready for the world stage. <strong>ABSURD</strong>. Alaska is nothing but a PODUNK State.
