    Charles Bettisworth Fairbanks Economic Development
    Really? Come one whats with this?
    Another anchorage real estate insider is no solution to the problem.

  4. Hearts

    Happy to see Commissioner Emil Notti and Tara Jollie on the list. Off to a great start.

    Thank you Governor Walker.

  5. Birchstick

    Give us some specific names and associations there Kent, then tell us how it would be any different under the last governor, a former oil industry lobbyist.

  6. Chamber Type

    The list is interesting and crosses Alaska. Cospicuously abesent, particularly in light of fiscal policy concerns, is leaders from Alaska banks. There are no Marc Langlands, Betsy Lawers, Joe Everetts, etc. Also, the lack of meaningful representation from the tourism community. Real business leaders/owners are missing. My friends in the oil and gas community have expressed some concern. I think others should heed what they are saying. My one comment to soon to be Governor Walker : “it’s the economy, (you know what goes here).”

  9. Kent

    Looks to me like Walker’s transition has been hijacked by Liberals, Democrats, Natives, special interest groups, and Palin-types. I lknew that Walker left his values at the door to make the unity ticket deal; however, I thought he had enough sense to reclaim his values, wine or lose, after the election. I thought he wanted to keep the special interests and lobbyists at bay – – he did niether. There are lobbyists on his transition team and special interests galore. The first day, they talked about fiscal responsibility. Too bad they didn’t think about that before spending a couple hundred thousand bringing special interests to town to lobby the new governor-elect on the state dime. Shameful. Is this what the next four years will be like?
