Winner and Lovegreen are of the opinion that any viewpoint other than their own is an obstructionist viewpoint. 
Fiscal stability, and responsibility is not obstructionist. 
Close to seven thousand Alaskans have lost their jobs during this recession, yet, not one single state employee has been laid off. The state has not reported on estimates of the number of households in the state have left for employment opportunities in the lower 48. 
The private sector small business owner is cutting spending, laying off personnel, and cutting hours for remaining employees. Conversely, the ASD has lost close to 800 students during the same time period, and instead of adopting budgets to reflect the realities of less state funding, continues to hire, offer huge 500.00 bonuses and other pay increases to its teachers, and draining critical emergency funds to do so.
Alaskans want fiscal responsibility and not hollow sound bites. The Senate works for Alaskans, not government, lest you forget.
