Cole is correct here. Beyond the legislature's failure to deal with the revenue spending gap is their craven response when folks complain of the cuts made. I want to live in a state with a decent university, k-12 schools, public safety officers, social services , roads, airports etc. This means I will have to kick in, be it a reduced PFD, and an income and or sales tax. It also means Businesses in Alaska will pay more in tax, including Oil, fishing, mining and timber. We have had a free ride for over 40 years now and it has come to an end. Guys like Kelly and Dunleavy need to be straight with their constituents and stop pandering. Within a fairly short period of time our options for a sound fiscal future dwindle to nothing.
