Will Any Other Republicans Support the Stimulus Deal? - Washington Post

But, in the first round of voting, not a single Republican House member voted for the bill and just three GOP Senators -- Olympia Snowe (Me.), Susan Collins (Me.) and Arlen Specter (Pa.) -- crossed the aisle to back the legislation.
At the just-concluded press conference announcing the deal, all three Republican senators were in attendance -- ensuring that the bill will receive the required 60 votes in the Senate -- but there were no other GOP Senators in sight.
Moments before the deal was announced, House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (Va.), who has found himself in a bit of a media maelstrom of late , issued a statement that slammed Obama and congressional Democrats for allegedly keeping House GOPers out of the negotiations.
"Despite our repeated attempts to work with President Obama and the Democrat Majority, Speaker Pelosi has refused to meet with us, or even include us in key negotiations, choosing instead to stick with a pork-filled bill that even Members of her own party do not support," said Cantor.
The land of snow and ice has a lot to offer business owners who are looking to expand their business in the Alaska region. Whether you are looking to fund a commercial fishing expedition, or start up a business in the Alaska area, there are a lot of opportunities that are available. Lenders and bankers in Alaska work with business owners to help them get the funding they need for their commercial loans.
Depending on the kind and amount of commercial loan being applied for, lenders have different ways to calculate and determine the commercial lending rates and terms upon approving the loan. There are certain things that are always taken into consideration when approving a commercial loan that consist of the market value of the property if it is a real estate commercial loan, the financial information of the business which includes a full cash flow analysis, proposed business plan and other financial information that they need to gather to determine if the business qualifies for the loan. Loan to value is another tool that lenders and bankers use to determine if the property being purchased is equivalent to the amount of the loan that is being requested.
If you are thinking about purchasing an investment property, you should be aware that they are handled a little bit differently. Loans that are given on investment property are usually based on an individual loan basis, and each commercial lender has different criteria that are required to obtain an investment property loan. Loans that are given for the purpose of buying a rental property or apartment building are one type of loan and you can usually have longer terms on a loan of that size depending on how your business measures up and if you qualify for the amount of loan that is requested. In Alaska, there are a lot of different types of investment properties and business adventures that are available to choose from.
Because investment property loans typically have a lot more money tied up in them, there may be stricter or more stringent guidelines that commercial lenders and bankers will need to follow to make sure that the business is stable enough and has enough credit established to be able to afford the loan payments and not default on the loan. Over the past few years there have been a lot of loans that have gone bad and forced the owners to turn over the property to the bank as a foreclosure. When you are applying for a loan of a large sum of money you should first be sure that your business has enough credit established. In some cases, the individuals that are associated with the business may need to be on the loan and therefore it is important that the credit history of the individuals is also taken into consideration.
I have heard alot of rumors about moving to Alaska, are any of them true?

My fiance and I are trying to decide where to move after graduation. We have list and have visited a couple places. Recently I've had a couple different people tell me some things about Alaska which seem to good to be true, and I was wondering if anyone knew the facts regarding them:
1) If you live in and work in Alaska for 3 years, they pay off all of your student loans.
2) After 3 years, the Alaskan government pays you to be a resident there.
There were more, but I do not remember. These just do not seem highly realistic to me; why wouldn't everyone live in Alaska? Can anyone tell me if they are true and if so what the contigencies are? Do you have to work is a certain live of work? Do you have to live in a certain town? Do you have to sign your soul over to an Alaskan Elk? Please, any help would be great! Thank you!
Never heard of the student loan stuff, but the other, yeah, that was true, to a point. Depending how the state was doing. The money was from the oil revenues. I left Alaska twenty years ago, and when my family and I lived there, as residents, each of us would collect between $1000-2000 per person a year. But like I said, that was twenty years ago. Don't know if they are still doing it, and if so, don't know if the money is the same. But I would hate to see them pay the oil money out to people who went up to Alaska, JUST for that.

How do I find out if a company has an Alaska Business License? They are out of state!?
Jan 30, 2007 by MommyOf2 | Posted in Personal Finance
I took out a payday loan online a little over a year ago. I have not been able to pay them back for it. Then I find out that they didn't even have a business license to operate in the State of Alaska. My employer tells me they can't and shouldn't be harrassing me, but they call me at work EVERYDAY! I have repeatedly told them I am going to lose my job if they don't stop, and all I get from them is this is your contact information, and "we're" just trying to help. I hang up every time. I know that I owe them, but I can't afford to lose my job!
Here's a good website with some tools for you: http://www.fair-debt-collection.com/index.html.
Next, I suggest you file a complaint with the state attorney general: http://www.law.state.ak.us/department/civil/consumer/cpindex.html.
The state attorney general's office won't be able to offer you further legal advice, so it might also be a good idea to speak with an attorney. You can probably find one who will offer you a free, brief consultation over the phone. If this company issued you a loan without a proper business license, it might be possible to have the debt wiped out -- ask the lawyer.
Then you'll need to monitor your credit report to make sure this company doesn't put something on there. They might have already put something on there about your debt being delinquent. If they're unable to collect, they might record it as "charged off," which is not good for your credit rating. Best of luck to you. I know how frustrating this situation can be.
