[ed. From the three-part series: How to turn Alaska around (Charles Wohlforth - ADN). I got to know Charles ("don't call me Charlie") starting way back in 1989 during the Exxon Valdez oil spill when he was a young reporter just beginning his career (I was supervising the cleanup). This is an excellent sketch of Alaska from 1969 - present. And to be clear, it wasn't like people didn't forsee this result decades ago, especially after the state terminated its income tax. Crazy. It's a different place now.]
