Gerry Guay, you and all of your priorities are well represented in the legislature.  The problem is, you have too many competing priorities to allow those representatives to coalesce into a majority vote for any one of them.  You say you don't want to waste any more time tackling the issues.  But you don't say which "necessary drastic steps" you want them to take.  

Until Alaskans coalesce into a majority in support of specific steps, neither will the legislature.  

Welcome to democracy.
