Even if you could get the Alaskan GOP to promise promise promise they would support the income tax after a brutal expenditure side cutting what's most likely to happen? A repeat of the famous Obama budget that was scuttled by the GOP even after Obama gave them what they wanted and more. I wouldn't trust the ongoing R joke in the Senate to not turn over the keys to a fire engine while their own house burns down (starting with Meyer). Oh wait. That's exactly what is going on!
