Looking at your Alaska total traffic cameras on this Wednesday evening, there is now steady traffic all around the Anchorage Bowl. Tudor Road's got a pretty good slowdown starting at Laurel Street. That traffic backing up past Elmore Road, Midtown Intersections, New Seward Highway, very busy and congested. If you see traffic problems on the road, dial pound 250 on your cell, say total traffic. From the Swickard Chevrolet Anchorage Traffic Studios, I'm Daryl Dean.

Airline credit card rewards have helped grow America's travel and tourism industry. Last year, 15 million Americans traveled domestically using reward miles, supporting more than 183,000 jobs. But now Congress wants to pass a law that could eliminate credit card rewards and decimate the U.S. travel and tourism industry. Tell Congress to support travel and tourism jobs and oppose the Durbin-Marshall Interchange Bill. Visit handsoffmyrewards.com slash travel to take action.

Um, yeah, I can, I can talk about that. I was calling about the housing. Oh, sure. Go ahead. I can talk about both, but yeah, I was, I was, um, there last night at the meeting for most of it and actually testified. And, um, you know, this is actually a, this ordinance had passed by one vote as a fairly watered down version of a previous ordinance that was a little, you know, more expansive for housing. And, you know, I'm of the belief that we're out of houses. People can't move here. The rents are very high. I've had several people in the last year move here.

spent two or three months trying to find a place to buy people with money. You know, someone to the Valley, some spent a long, you know, it's really hard to live here. So, um, you know, these things kind of touch the margins and it's a real problem. I'm of the belief that the only way I don't think the people in charge are capable of doing anything because it's been like a decade of this problem getting worse and worse and worse. And the rents have gone up and the, Oh, my condo board, you know, our, our,

116 units, our insurance has gone up 40% in the last couple of years because the insured value of the units has gone up a lot. So, I mean, it took 10 years to go up $8 million from 42 million to 50 million. And then the one year it went from 50 million to 58 million. So, um, I'm of the belief that the people here really aren't going to do anything to actually make more house, more housing, like in the Valley where the Mat-Su Valley is building, you know, way more houses than we are. So I think we need to build the connect on bridge.

where there's swaths of land available over there at Point McKenzie where, you know, they'd build 20,000 new homes, and that would fix everything. So that's where I'm of the belief that to fix the housing problem, we have to build a bridge, and then that would open up not just another way out of Anchorage, and it would alleviate traffic concerns in the Glen and the corridor to the valley when it's, you know, busy in the summer, but also all the trucks, you know, all the trucks that go up north from the port wouldn't have to go down the Glen Highway anymore. They could just go straight to the Parks Highway.

And people would buy houses, people would move there, there'd be more houses in Anchorage. Everybody wins, Mike. I think so. No, I think it's a great idea. I mean, you know, back in the 30s when they wanted to build a Golden Gate Bridge across the Marin County, they thought they were nuts. People are telling me, oh, there's all these problems. I mean, they built a Golden Gate Bridge, they built a Verrazano Bridge, and they built a huge, it was 100 years ago. We already spent $100 million on this thing. It was permitted. It was good to go. Dunleavy tried to resurrect it in 2019.

And what happens is mostly people in the Valley are all for it. Even the lefty people in the Valley, everybody's for it in the Valley. They're fine. If the people in Anchorage, they're worried about property tax dollars leaving, that'll happen. But I think it'll actually equalize in the long run. And you're going to have a big boom. And, you know, we don't do anything in this state anymore. When was the last time we did anything?

No, we don't. The other thing is that at some point in Anchorage, you know, we're going to need to share the dream here and have some sort of sales tax that might, you know, be a dollar-for-dollar refund on your property tax. And if you've got more people and more property, these people are going to come to Anchorage to work, most likely. 100%. And, you know, that bridge makes it, you know, and there's also talk lately of a tunnel. I don't care. Tunnel, bridge, I mean, just build it. Get it over there. You know, I think people have

different opinions on this, but two, two years ago, the dividend was, you know, cost $2 billion. I'm of the belief that, you know, it's good to get a dividend, but I mean, I think most, a lot of people would rather have a bridge, a piece of infrastructure that they could, you know, get, get out to buy property, build a house, buy a house, you know, get, go out. There's a bunch of land out there on lakes and recreation. Yep. Stimulates the economy for sure. Such a big boom for this. I mean, not just Anchorage. I mean, the Valley, every, you know, all in, I think we should do other things too. I think we should build the Juno access road.

That should have been built years ago. I mean, rule project. There should be all kinds of things we should be doing. I would agree. Infrastructure projects are important because Alaska has pretty rudimentary infrastructure. We also should do a rail line to connect into the Canadian system to take people. All those things are great. You know, we should build at the very minimum a gas line to Fairbanks. Mm-hmm.

and then liquefy the gas, and there's already a rail. Rail it down to the valley. Boom. Regasify it. It's already in the NSTAR system. These things aren't like impossible out-of-the-realm products. They're things that we could actually do. It's not rocket science. It really isn't. It really isn't. Well, tell me about the permanent front.

the foundations of the Permanent Fund Board. It seems like they've just, everybody's shut up over there. Nobody knows what's going on. What can you tell us? Well, I mean, it's pretty, I mean, the board for several years has been some tension with, you know, kind of going back to the Rodel thing. There's just been some kind of palace intrigue. What I wrote about a few months ago was I had some emails that were leaked to me that were internal emails. They were basically the staff showing concern about

Ellie Rubenstein who, um, you know, his father is David Rubenstein and Carlisle manages some of the permanent fund money. And then there was some meetings that were set up with between, you know, she facilitated meetings between some staff and her dad and then trying to set up meetings between, she has her own fund that's based on like food, it's called mandatory. So she had tried to set up meetings with, with some of her investors actually in permanent funds. And there was just emails about that and concern about, you know, the appropriateness of that. And then there was also, you know, the emails that was said,

by the chief investment officer that Rubenstein had said that Ethan shot is the current board chair would not be reappointed. His appointment's actually up like very soon this weekend. I think it's end of June. So he's the chair, but what's really happening is she, along with Jason Bruni, Adam Crum, and now Ryan Anderson, they have the four votes and, and Ethan is the chair really kind of a name only now only has Craig Richards.

There's, you know, lately this has been talked about for a while, but this earnings account and how much money is in there, I think it should be one account. I think it should be one account. And I also think the 5% is too much. I mean, that's too high of a draw to be sustainable. It should probably be 4%. But, I mean, there's a lot of board issues. I mean, for a long time, the board –

And the question is, does the governor reappoint Ethan Shutt or not? Yeah, I mean, that's a good question. I have no idea. We'll find out.

But now we're finding out that there may be some difficulty with the fund, the reserve fund. Well, there's so much money in the reserve. Some of that goes for inflation. There's these sub-funds. There's the main fund and the reserve fund where the earnings and gains go into. As the fund gets bigger and the average goes up, it's 5%. I think this year it was like $3.8 billion. That's for the government. Next year it's probably going to be

Less than six months after pay up took effect, wiser members of the council, led by President Sarah Nelson, recognized the damage of the new law and prepared to reduce the minimum wage for delivery drivers to $19.97 in Seattle. And I guess the question I have here is, what business is it of the city of Seattle to tell a private business how much they can pay their people?

Authority. That's what she's saying. Have you been to the schools lately? Right. That's a big fat fail. No, and the thing is, when you take consequences out of anything, it's going to be a failure.
