Wohlforth and Walker still Republicans despite claimed Democrat/Independent titles.  Just like when Wohlforth was a council member and apologist/biographer for Wally, he serves the interests of Alaskan elite, i.e., whatever is good for the Oil Cartel is good for Alaska.  Walker was, is, and will forever be a Republican in ideology and servitude to the Oil Cartel.  Slash/eliminate government employees'  incomes who are only working for the social/education agencies.  Slash the only benefit from the sale of the oil wealth to the least able to afford it while continuing the diversion to the richest slime in the world; So wealthy as to be unable to spend it all in their lifetime.
