Great Job! Good luck to all and let's hope these people can improve the sad state of shipping - we need a new ship, new airport, training for Inuit who works on the airport to get their Heavy Equipment- apprenticeship program- , the very bad and poor quality fresh food program that is going on and not just give out existing contracts for water and sewer to outsiders and not have our own living like kings in the hotel while we struggle to find enough hours for E.I. Please stop trying to Plebiscite us and get to the real issues. The voting age needs to be addressed because they can vote but not run- not fair to the eligible voters- Those are just some things to look at.
