I dont get it, exactly what industry does this state have? I mean one that makes it money? I am up here with the military and in my view fishing is seasonal, farming is seasonal, we dont have a cattle industry, or a chicken industry, or for that matter even a railway or tourist industry that could support the budget that this state is using, If you look our budget is greater than that of most small countries. The military and Oil is about all there is that brings steady money into Alaska. Now we know that Oil prices fluctuate, they have been doing that for the last 100 years or more, so why do the legislators here make huge spending budgets when the price of oil is high and then rather than cut spending and programs or put them on hold when the price is low which would be the common sense thing to do instead try to change the tax structure of the industry that is its cash cow? All you all are doing is driving the cow out of the pasture....just saying
