Bears are back and biting—this past Saturday, a hiker in Anchorage’s Bear Valley was mauled and needed rescue by firefighters.

Alaska Pipeline Bill Dies in Legislature | Anchorage...

Anchorage News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! ·

2026/07/20

A major Alaska natural gas pipeline bill collapsed after lawmakers accused Hilcorp of sabotaging the deal by pressuring developer Glenfarne to back out at the last minute. Despite a last-minute compromise and apparent green light from Glenfarne, the bill stalled at the vote — with the governor calling the accusations “bullst,” but others saying Glenfarne was warned this was the final offer. The core conflict centers on a tax provision that would impact Hilcorp, a key supplier, which allegedly

Alaska’s New Road Sparks Debate | Anchorage News

2026/07/20

Alaska’s DOT is kicking off a $100 million road and bridge project on the west side of the Susitna River to boost access to recreation and borough lands, with drilling already underway. This first phase could pave the way for a massive 99-mile industrial corridor aimed at unlocking oil, gas, and mineral resources — a move energy firms like Hilcorp see as vital as existing reserves dwindle. But locals and environmental groups, including the Susitna River Coalition, warn of harm to salmon

2026/07/20

What if America’s thousand billionaires—nearly a quarter of the world’s total—used even a fraction of their wealth to fix what’s broken? Imagine affordable childcare, universal healthcare coverage, fully funded public schools, and investments in technical education that empower millions. While progressive taxation is the ideal, current tax cuts are gutting local programs. The real solution isn’t communism—it’s a more humane, democratic economy where wealth isn’t hoarded, but strategically

2026/07/20

Alaska’s newborns are facing a terrifying surge in syphilis cases — 14 babies diagnosed last year, the highest in decades. This spike mirrors a 14% jump in adult cases and a 51% rise in long-term infections, mostly in Anchorage and Matanuska-Susitna. Untreated, congenital syphilis can cause blindness, developmental delays, or death — but early prenatal testing and treatment can prevent it. Yet many mothers received little or no care, delaying diagnosis. Health officials are now mobilizing to

2026/07/20

On a remote, abandoned island in the Bering Sea, hundreds of empty buildings are still getting wired for internet—thanks to taxpayers footing a $340,000 annual bill for a service no one uses. Part of a massive federal program meant to connect rural areas, this funding is flowing to a company with shady ties, including a CEO who spent subsidies on a fishing boat and an extravagant salary. Investigators found locals using Starlink instead, paying nothing to the government. Despite knowing many

Pike Are Not the Problem | Anchorage News

2026/07/20

Blaming pike for plummeting salmon numbers is oversimplifying a much bigger mess — warming oceans, industrial fishing, and fish farm releases are the real disruptors. Pike, long native to these waters, are just surviving in a human-altered ecosystem. Instead of finger-pointing, maybe it’s time to learn how to cook them — or pay more for the salmon you crave.

Alaska is betting big on oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, with its state agency AIDEA set to spend $175 million on seismic testing—despite major oil companies staying away. AIDEA, the refuge’s largest leaseholder, aims to map potential oil reservoirs and lure private investment, but critics warn the state lacks the expertise and should avoid this risky gamble. With legal battles looming and environmental reviews underway, the move could reshape Alaska’s energy future—or prove to be a

Anchorage voters passed Proposition Six in 2023 to fund critical upgrades to Chugach State Park’s roads and trailheads—finally shifting the financial burden from local residents to the broader community. Three years later, early wins like new Canyon Road and a revamped Basher Trailhead show progress, but also exposed flaws in how projects are chosen.

Porsches in Alaska's Wild North | Anchorage News

2026/07/19

In 1961, a Porsche magazine joked about Alaskans driving Porsches in freezing conditions, categorizing them as cheechakos, gadget lovers, or sourdoughs who kicked their cars. But the real story? Alaska had a Porsche dealer since 1954, and one owner, Jorgen Lilliebjerg, and his wife Mikell faced real struggles—engine blocks cracked, cars stranded, and snow berms—but kept buying more Porsches anyway. It’s a funny, heartwarming tale of stubborn car lovers conquering the wild north, proving luxury

Alaska’s Untapped Gas Crisis | Anchorage News

2026/07/19

Alaska’s North Slope holds 35 trillion cubic feet of untapped natural gas—worth billions—yet it’s been treated as a worthless byproduct thanks to a broken tax system that demands massive upfront payments before any gas is sold. With the technical know-how and regulatory framework already in place, the real barrier is politics. A simple tax reform, requiring no new state funding, could unlock commercial opportunities and prevent Alaska from letting this massive asset go to waste while

Paying off your mortgage feels like freedom—but here’s the twist: you’re just swapping one bill for another. Property taxes? They’re your new lifelong obligation, funding schools, police, and roads. It’s a system we’ve accepted without question: homeowners as the perpetual cash cows for local government. But what if there’s a better way?

Commissioned for Alaskan journalism legend Howard Weaver, the slogan’s gritty, defiant spirit feels more relevant than ever.

Anchorage’s Seaview Street residents are battling deadly arsenic in their well water—levels four times the safe limit—forcing constant filter changes and exposing a citywide infrastructure gap. With many homes still reliant on private wells, the cost to connect to the city’s water system is staggering: $2.5 million just to extend lines, plus $15K–$25K per home. Residents, some aware for decades, are pushing for solutions amid a strained utility system that can’t absorb these costs. A hopeful
