Geez Louise, legislators.  For the love of all that is precious to you, do your job.  It's time to do something, even if it's wrong and you have to fix it later.  If you've lived here as long as I (nearly 50 years) or even much less, you know that dire consequences await.  It's time to step up to the plate and *try* something, for pity's sake.  Stop with the squirming and maneuvering to avoid being voted out.  Look ahead and look beyond Alaska to the wider world - upon which Alaska depends, believe it or not.  Get the bill out of committee, bring it to the floor, debate it,  amend it, like the statesmen (and women) you know you all should be.  Act on the courage of your convictions.  You were elected by your constituents for them.  Act on them.
