Gov. Bill Walker established the Climate Change Working Group last year and hired an out-of-state climate change warrior to provide support to it. She earns $145,000 a year and last year commuted by jet from Seattle to Juneau and Anchorage, Alaska, at State expense, after signing on with the administration. She racked up over 11,000 airline miles in her commute during a three-month period.
The Governor’s Office has been paying for the airline tickets, cab rides, hotels, and other travel-related expenses for Cayenne “Nikoosh” Carlo, according to travel documents obtained through a public records request.

Now. Now. If we can spend a half million dollars on Vitamin D research, and $4 million on Public Broadcasting then these boys can have their Climate Change Czarina. She is a much credentialed young woman with a resume hitting all the PC buttons. And as we all know, especially after Mike Dunleavy asked him in the Thursday AOGA forum, Bill Walker has put climate change ahead of the highest unemployment in the US, population loss as people leave for work elsewhere, highest rates of violent crime in the US, highest incidence of STDs, bottom of the pack standardized test performance in our school systems, and a myriad of other superlatives as the number one problem facing Alaska.
Kayak, DITTO.
