I hope, I pray, that oil prices do not rise before we see some real necessary changes and reforms in my state. Less pork, actually diversifying revenue, yes cutting government waste but waste real waste.  Most of all I want a new crop of legislators who don't want to sit around and wait for big oil prices to rescue them. " Oh please god give us $100 barrel oil so I can build that road to Juneau and give more money to my employer which of course helps my401K"! This one egg in the basket has to stop, we need to move from resource colony to a real economy. Look Alaskans at the big oil states, Texas, Louisiana, Kansas, and Alaska what do they all have in common? Yeah besides the GOP, they have BILLIONS worth of oil extracted year in and year out and what do the citizens have to show for it? Louisiana is like number one in virtually every bad collumn, bad schools, big prison populations, poor health, were does the money go?
