No, Alaska Legislature is not Dem, it is Republican. How do I know? My rep, John Harris, an R, was speaker of the house this past session. And Lyda Green, an R, was Senate Majority leader. I don’t think Dems have been in power in the legislature for decades.

“I don’t think Dems have been in power in the legislature for decades.”

So why is this crap still going on?

A freeper from Alaska said, in response to a question of mine several weeks ago, that one of the houses went Dem due to the same problems that caused the Congress to go Dem in 2006—corruption, spending, etc.

Better check your facts. Here is the Alaska Senate Majority Leader:

Johnny Ellis, Democrat

No, Alaska Legislature is not Dem, it is Republican.

This Wikipedia article says there is some kind of conflict among the Alaskan Republicans in the Senate and they split up. Do you know what the conflict is that pushed some of them to join a governing coalition with the Democrats?
