20 YEARS AGO
December 2004
Political expression dominated headlines in Sitka in 2004, making elections the top continuing news story of the year. ... In those elections, Sitkans charted their own path: requiring that any future downtown cruise ship dock proposal go before voters; narrowly defeating a citywide smoking ban; and bucking state trends by favoring former Gov. Tony Knowles in his bid for U.S. Senate over appointive incumbent Lida Murkowski; and John Kerry over George W. Bush. Facing community opposition to proposals to close Sitka Community Hospital, the Assembly called an election for a 17 percent increase in the property tax to fund the hospital. It failed, as expected, but the large number of affirmative votes indicated Sitkans would fight to keep their health facility ion operations.
