And thats how senators and reps pay back campaign donations. Remember now GCI wants us all to pay state income tax too While they get huge subsidies  they are going to work hard to convince you that you need to give up your pfd and kick in some extra so they can stay on the gravy train. If we fill the state coffers first then they wont get hit with an increase. If it wasn't for Ted Stevens and all the cash he shoveled their way GCI  wouldn't even exist.
