For the folks who want an income tax:  AK Population about 750,000.  Tourism estimates about 2 Million per year.  Income tax on 750,000 (not really, we don't all work or earn enough) - about $200M (according the roadshow plan/game) per year plus when Alaskans are paying income taxes.  Please consider that a 5% state sales tax limited to an amount above local taxes (3% in Palmer=+2%, 2% in Wasilla and Houston=+3%...) would be significantly more than $200M per year because it includes those 2 million more people.  Now, from whom would prefer the taxes be paid?
