Walker team players drifting toward Begich?

6

Gubernatorial candidate Mark Begich is looking for ways to distinguish himself from Gov. Bill Walker. They agree on so much — taxes, taxes, and taxes. But he’s found something that will get him a lot of votes: Supporting the Stand for Salmon initiative.

The governor’s former deputy press secretary, Jonathan Taylor, signaled his “like” that Begich is pro-Ballot Measure 1. Ballot Measure 1 would shut down Alaska’s resource development sector, but that’s what the greenies are hoping for.

Taylor is now working as the communications director for the Department of Public Safety. Is he looking for his next gig in the Begich Administration?
