Pro:  The House coalition is doing something, as compared to the non-productive sessions the last two years.  Much debate is forthcoming.

The legislature's 'single subject rule' defeats efforts to move forward to a balanced budget; it has a confusing effect on the Body and the general public.

Alaska needs a comprehensive approach based upon fairness to all end users.  The budget needs cuts to oil tax credits, and general fund state spending.  A 'right sized' government needs to equal annual revenues.  In addition, the state needs to increase revenue streams however it can.

And, the Body needs to stay away from any permanent restructuring of the PFD or it's funding formula.  Do not let the legislature break into the peoples piggy bank.  It has no record of fiscal restraint; in fact, it's record is just the opposite.  Everyone knows that.
