   Home To Roost #75

   This week on Home to Roost, South Korea insists Alaska’s LNG pipeline must make financial sense before investing, while the Trump administration apparently believes federal money can be handed out in $500 and $90 installments without Congress’s permission. A GOP senator warns that your airline pilot might secretly be a furry. Does he secretly desire Rocky and Bullwinkle to fly his plane? And we ask whether Thomas Paine would recognize a democracy in which the people are supposed to be sovereign, but where five Supreme Court justices get to define the Constitution.

   Home to Roost #74

   South Korea is investing $54 billion in the Alaska gas line! Except, apparently, it isn’t. We follow the money—or, more accurately, look around for it. Meanwhile, bipartisan support for green energy shows signs of photosynthesis, we play another round of Public Policy Pursuit, and Thomas Paine declares, “In America, the law is king.” But did the Supreme Court in Trump v. United States dethrone the king?

   Home To Roost #73

   This week we do something a bit different. We present interviews with four Alaskans who describe how changes in federal policies have affected them or their organizations, whether for better or for worse. Specifically, we interviewed Alaskans involved with libraries, social work, foster care, and fish processing. We hope you find their stories insightful.
