The school district had that horrible math program for 17(?) years that they knew wasn’t working. So any plans they have that need more money are suspect and most likely prone to epic and costly failures.

Interesting that the library can not support itself so moves into social work. No gripe about providing these needed services. Remember this is the same group that received a donation of a few million dollars to provide a library downtown and they are slowly draining the fund for other uses. I had planned to leave the library money but after reading about their refusal to honor the decedent’s wishes I’ve changed my mind.

“We have these social work interns and it’s really great because librarians can’t always determine what the best first step is for some of these complex needs,” said Preskitt.
Since the need has proven to be there, Preskitt says they are expanding the program. The Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority just awarded funding for a full-time social worker to be on hand year-round.

I worked downtown for several years. I’d run out on my lunch hour to shop at A Novel View bookstore. Other than that, I despised shopping downtown. Panhandlers, pickpockets and drivers who ignore traffic lights & walk signals. Then you get to haul your purchases in cold weather and icy/slushy streets. So you hope no one follows you to steal your purchases. Possibly breaking into your car, vandalism, stealing your stuff and possibly your vehicle.
Alaska has an alcohol problem so Tequila 61 is obviously a great choice for pushing promotion. We are a sub arctic environment and people are pushing the “walking city”, talk about misconception~ Where is all this parking at? Where is this land (stable soil and affordable?) for residential housing coming from? There is a condo project being built on leased railroad land. The lease cost is good for x number of years then the railroad can raise the rates. What are folks going to do? Move the condo building to cheaper land?
I commend them for trying to make downtown attractive. Think about how many times Mountain View has tried to change the public’s opinion of it. Has it worked yet?
