The state Senate under "Majority Leader" "TAPS" Micciche, "Crapshoot" Meyer, "Goldie" McKinnon and Cathy "little subsidy doll" Giessel,... all lied to the people of Alaska.
  All session long, until recently, the same bunch said to the public and the press, "EVERYTHING is on the table" when it comes to balancing the budget.. 
 Except when it came down to doing the hard work in the final weeks... it`s suddenly not.  

It`s far easier for the oil-bought corrupted state Senate to take half our PFD, and spend the savings from the previous more fair oil tax system down to NOTHING, and rob the permanent fund`s future value instead of making it grow in a more robust manner, last longer and grow more secure in size to benefit future Alaskans. If we do things right and act effectively to fix the current budget gap, will still be able to have low taxes, and still have the best state in the Union..
