Wook, I totally agree. Cut government. No more trips to Asia. No more government paid $500,000.00 yearly salaries for friends. No more Taj Mahawker or LIO unfettered spending. No more expensive schools in every tiny bush village. No more high paid State Troopers in every village. Privatize Alaska Railroad. Privatize Alaska State Ferry System. Reduce state regulation and cut every State regulatory agency funding by minimum 50% and personnel cut by 50%. Some agencies can go away completely. Shift prosecution of drug offenses to prosecution of theft offenses and impose real penalties for theft, fine thieves, ankle monitors and heavy fines, incarceration only for repeat offenders. It does not make sense to establish state bureaucracies to tax us $1,000 that we have to pay fed tax on, and then turn around and give us $1,000 PFD that we have to pay fed tax on. We have grown government agencies well manned and well funded for 40 years. Time to swing the pendulum back the other way.
