Print article With Anchorage’s mayoral runoff election finishing up Tuesday, it is impossible not to note H.L. Mencken’s sage observation that “Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule and both commonly succeed, and are right.” One need only look at Anchorage to see his point. The contest for the city’s top executive post with all the snap, pop and sizzle of a sewing bee pits 36-year-old East Anchorage Assemblyman Forrest Dunbar against 62-year-old retired commercial pilot Dave Bronson. Dunbar, a corporate attorney and Alaska Army National Guard captain, is a member of our Assembly’s uber-liberal contingent and a failed Democratic congressional hopeful. He says he has a plan for this fair burg: Spend, spend and spend some more. He cannot say it in those words, of course. He would rather enhance, prioritize and diversify.
