Ballaine Road’s Permafrost Problem | Anchorage News

Ballaine Road near Fairbanks is a rollercoaster of a drive—thanks to melting permafrost. For decades, patches of asphalt have been the only fix, but beneath lies ice thousands of years old, now thawing faster due to climate change. Experts warn this isn’t new, and with permafrost up to 100 feet deep, the ground turns to mush, warping roads. Solutions like thermosiphons exist, but they’re pricey. In places like Goldstream Valley, the cost is just too high—so expect bumpy, patched-up roads for years to come.

Alaska's GOP Civil War in District 30 | Anchorage News

In Alaska’s fiercely conservative House District 30, incumbent Rep. Kevin McCabe faces a Republican primary showdown with four fellow GOP challengers, exposing deep fractures over fiscal conservatism, Permanent Fund dividends, and state spending priorities. McCabe, pushing for a “full” dividend despite past votes against it, clashes with rivals like Doug Massie and Mike Alexander, who accuse him of betraying conservative principles—and even file complaints over campaign signs calling him a “PFD Thief.” Meanwhile, challengers like Doyle Holmes focus on infrastructure, while Democrat Sandra Loomis offers bold tax proposals to fund education and transit. With the top four advancing to November’s general election, voters in this scenic, rural district will decide whether McCabe’s vision for conservatism still commands their trust—or if a new voice will rise to lead.
