I agree wholeheartedly. As a 25 year Alaskan we are finally seriously looking to leave the state. Health care and property taxes are bleeding us dry already. We certainly can't absorb an income tax into our budget on top of Alaska's already outrageous cost of living. An income tax won't do much good if it causes a mass exodus either. That in turn could cause another housing crash and so on. Making it impossible to be able to afford to live here isn't the answer.
