Keep up the off record discussions. It must be awful being a legislator this year being pulled in all directions spinning like a top. Here's why:

The only way to balance the budget is to cap the PFD,,, leave the PF alone....restructuring the PF is crucial to  the economic future of the state...keep your mitts off my PFD!...It is imperative to cut spending....don't cut education or public safety....reduce the size of the bloated government now!...cutting $$ for seniors and the disabled any more would be unconscionable...a sales tax will harness visitor spending...a sales tax is unfair....a sales tax will overburden communities that already impose one....a sales tax is the only fair tax...Please cut/freeze wages for state employees...asking state workers to make even further concessions is unrealistic...An income tax is necessary and fair...an income tax persecutes productive working people...An income tax make outsiders pay...an income tax will drive away talented people and businesses
