A cooperative venture that’s working

To the editor:

Rep. Don Young complains that Sen. Mark Begich takes too much credit for projects on which Alaska’s delegation has collaborated. That’s not what I’ve observed. In fact, I have heard Sen. Begich say many times that the delegation works together for the betterment of Alaska. He specifically mentions Rep. Young when discussing the victory in maintaining the status of bypass mail to rural areas.

This delegation works well together. Both sides of the aisle are represented and each can influence his or her colleagues. This is the way it should be. Begich is the first to give credit to his Alaskan colleagues. It’s a cooperative venture that’s working.
