One of the nice things about Alaska is that many of us not only encounter but meet and get to know our reps on a personal basis. True, that doesn’t mean I’ll ever warm up to Rep. Don Young but tho’ I disagree often with Lisa Murkoski, I’ve listened to her explain why she’s done this or that and, even if I don’t like it, can often see her logic. True, she’s a champion fence straddler, but when she is engaged in an issue, she does seem to give it serious thought and stick to her guns. That said, I haven’t chatted with her for awhile but that’s on me, not her.
