It's a good start on plans to fix the mess we're in.The best part of the plan is part #4.

You missed that one? Crawford didn't mention it?

That's the part where he replaces another Incumbent Member of the Republican Majority that punted the ball, what  3? 4? times in special sessions (I lost track!) and refused to consider anything the democratic minority brought to the table to try averting the fiscal crisis poised over their heads. You know, the group that decided every Alaskan should pony up a 50% tax on the PFD so they could keep their 3-5 staff members making 6 figure incomes for 3 months at the public trough.

You might think  "cutting a staff member only saves (50k-80k-100k-whatever amount) per year. Just a tiny drip." Well, reduce 1 staffer each x 40 x 80k+ and you start to see some real savings.

Lets return another Incumbent to the Private Sector they profess to love so much, and toss Mr. Crawford the ball. He can't do any worse, folks. He'll be starting from the End Zone.
