It`s a darn shame fires like this happen so often to important infrastructure in vital locations across this state.  It`s hard enough to keep and maintain what we have, let alone improve protect and repair and build anew.   When, not if, we ever have another damaging earthquake or tsunami similar to 1964, under current budget scenarios we would soon be raiding the permanent fund, as we'd certainly be out of savings to use in emergencies.  To let these fires win as we struggle with even determining our budget is sad.  

 And the state senate sat on it`s thumbs,in my humble opinion.  
It was public pressure that caused them to flip on stopping the cash credits to the oil industry.  

Now they can say "look what we did",... in six months.
 You`d of thought it was their idea.
