ADN: Stevens’ office rode to rescue when no one else would help
Sen. Stevens has been good for all Alaskans.
He has been good to our family, although he does not know us personally. My husband needed entrance visas for his overseas partners. Sen. Stevens’ office always came to the rescue when no other government agency could or would help. The senator’s staff took action and efficiently resolved our business problems with different governmental regulations and/or restrictions.
It would be difficult to find anybody who lived in Alaska for any amount of time who has not been touched by the Senator’s ability to provide for this state, improve living conditions, get funds to build the infrastructure, and assure jobs and subsistence for the people of this state. He has secured resources for Alaska Natives for the years to come. This has helped Alaska stand out from all other states whose Native people are often impoverished.
Long-time Alaskans know the “magic” of Ted Stevens, with his ability to obtain billions of dollars for the development of Alaska. This man has a big presence in our government and has dedicated his life to providing for the people of Alaska, caring less about his own riches.
I hope we remember our indebtedness to Sen. Stevens when he needs our help.
