[edit] Croatian Americans Category

I have removed him from the Croatian Americans category, pending a discussion on whether that is accurate is pending at Talk:List of Croatian Americans. --TommyBoy 21:37, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Despite the unresolved question, he has since been restored to the category. --TommyBoy (talk) 03:30, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 1994 Anchorage Mayor election results

I recently contacted User:Zero Gravitas, regarding the 1994 Anchorage Mayor election results. Unfortunately, he was unable to provide an answer to my question. For more information, see his UserTalk page. Any assistance from other users would be appreciated. --TommyBoy 02:20, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

On further Googling I've found a 2000 Peninsula Clarion article which has partial first round results, but still nothing about the runoff, which is what counts... —Zero Gravitas 02:33, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV? Needs citation

"He has consistently raised taxes and granted substantial wage increases to municipal employees."

I'm removing this sentence for now - but if it is factually true, someone should feel free to put it back in, with citation. As a relative outsider (I live in California) this strikes me as a potentially POVish statement, especially since none of Begich's other actions as Mayor are included in the article.
