There are several un-mentioned presumptions in the "right-wing" ideology;  The whole notion that every prior legislative, executive, regulatory action taken by any elected & appointed officials before these ideologues came to power, is inhearently corrupt, a fraud or simply a waste reflects upon their mis-understading of the role & need for a properly operating State of Alaska.  That real needs were addressed in a carefully considered and public manner is ignored but the insult to everyone who proceeded them is resounding.  Another presumption is that the injury & the costs should fall upon only our public servants and government workers; their entire paychecks and benefits are to be forfeit.
       Blindly damaging the operations of the government of the State of Alaska seems, maybe a touch criminal.  Are these senators operatives of corporations or does their ideology verge on anarchism?
