Talk:26th Alaska State Legislature

Contested PROD edit

I'll dispense with my usual litany of complaints, aside from the fact that it's the latter half of May and it's below freezing with plenty of snow still on the ground and plenty of ice still in the river. Those of us who work summer-based employment (particularly tourism, though not necessarily limited to that) are sweating this out, wondering how this is going to affect our incomes at what is already a financially perilous time. I may have to disappear from here for a while to compensate for it. The running joke lately is that you'll find more Alaskans in Williston right now than you'll find anywhere in Alaska. Hope I don't have to follow suit.

Anyway, active interest in keeping these articles somewhat up-to-date effectively ceased sometime during this particular legislature. However, there is enough material buried in the past revisions of Alaska Legislature, Alaska House of Representatives and Alaska Senate to actually make a halfway decent article. It was suggested over six years ago on Talk:Alaska Legislature that those articles should contain only general information, with any information pertaining to specific sessions relegated to new articles for each session, which is what is done with other states.

Unfortunately, just about anyone who may be interested seems to take a "not my problem" approach. Another problem: an article on a legislative session, in my mind, would contain information such as committee assignments, accomplishments, events, etc. Instead, the overwhelming majority of the editing activity has been in the direction of minutiae about party and caucus organization. The Alaska Legislature has a decades-long history of bipartisan or multi-party (including the rare third-party members) coalitions, yet we give undue weight to the recent Senate Bipartisam Working Group, as if it were revolutionary or something.
