1994 Alaska capital relocation vote, by districts

Why does it matter so much where the capital is located that they'd try and change it six times?

Isn't Juneau supposed to be a real pain in the ass to get to even for Alaska?

So I've heard, but why does that matter?  The capital is just where the legislative body does stuff.  I don't see why it matters where it is; the only people truly concerned with it are the state politicians.

There are some kinds of business you pretty much have to do by going to the capital - accessing state records, observing/commenting on legislative actions.

I suppose that's a good point.

Although I will say that the internet has done wonders.  Still, it's kinda a pain.

There are lots of counties out there that regret county seat choices for the same reasons.
