Alaskans for A Sustainable Budget (FaceBook group)
"We have noticed several AlaskaSenateMajority and AK House Majority staff and others deeply involved in the legislative process reposting and "liking" the following piece from Alaska GOP establishment insider Steve Strait. There is more than a little hypocracy going on in both the article and the "likes". First, somewhat ironically, the budgets the ‪#‎AKLeg‬ passed in March ‪#‎DID‬ reduce spending to close to the $4.5 billion mark, which would have avoided the need to discuss taxes, but the budget has since been reinflated in both bodies to roughly $5.2 billion based on the support of the majority (including the bosses of almost all of those reposting and clicking "like") in each for a $700+ million increase (from the March budget) in ‪#‎AKOilTaxCredits‬. That is what is leading to the need for some to reconsider taxes -- their own actions. Any finger pointing should be aimed at themselves.
