I have to agree with the bill for getting the US Mail delivered more promptly - it was a big win for Alaska.

What wasn't published????

Also, the bill makes it illegal to have a firearm on postal property. How many Alaskans have firearms in their possession while going to check their post office mail boxes or send items?

Why didn't Sen. Begich get this taken out of the bill before he voted for it????

This is another strike against our 2nd amendment rights, and a vote for furthering gun control.

It's time we get politicians to read the entire bill to find out what's in it before voting for it. Or maybe Mark knew what was in it but down deep was pandering to the left..

Informed voters are good voters.
