OK. Desperate times require desperate actions.  I applaud the governors actions.  It will, I hope, motivate the majority of the potential voters in Alaska to register and then vote.  Increasing the number of voters is the key to removing do nothing legislators.  It's OK to fire an employe who does not do their job, and these guys/gals are supposed to work for us.

It should not take months of spewing hot air to cut the budget.  Each Department has a Commissioner who is well paid.  We only need to look at Alaska's income to determine what we have to spend.  Simple math tells us what the shortfall is and each department should cut the same percentage from their budget.  These people were hired based on their ability to manage, it's time they earned their pay!
