Ms. Peterson,

While I appreciate your passion, the Education System in Alaska spends more per student than 46 other States.  That indicates to those of us that would pay that Income Tax that our State Revenues could be spent more efficiently.

Alaska has long been a State with ample coffers to fund State Programs.  Now, the playing field is leveling.  Alaska still has much more resources available than most States.  But, the Legislative/Executive Branch have not yet learned to budget without those huge revenues of the past.

If your business was failing, would you raise the price of your Lattes as your first strategy?
