Ms. Spooner, I advocated for cutting the open positions during 2015 and 16, finally they did something.  The Governor and his staff imply that they have cut 2700 jobs/employees.  It is disingenuous at best.  Your misunderstanding of this point is sad.  Here is another posting of the "vague" 50/50 plan put forth by Senator Dunleavy.  If you read it, it will no longer be vague to you.  https://www.alaskasenate.org/2016/press/news/dunleavy-offers-path-to-fiscal-sustainability
