Charlie,.. I watched 62% of the Alaskans who called into the "public comments" portion of the Senate (Micciche-Giessel-Dunleavey) committee vetting HB115 ( a bill proposing new state sales or income tax), were in support of SOME form of broad-based tax to help balance the budget.  98% of those same callers were upset, that part of the PFD was being taken, but they agreed enough "cuts" were made for now, and that it`s time we went back to using some sort of a broad-based state tax like we had up until 1980.
To make a blanket statement like "we are sick of taxes" about your fellow Alaskans, who live in the ONLY state without a broad-based state tax who don't pay a state income or sales tax,..seems a bit incongruous. Just saying..
