I like all of your ideas, but it seems the legislature doesn't really want to fix the budget.

How hard is it to collect $488 million owed from 10 years ago? ($2 Billion with interest)

Oil companies had no problem suing Alaska for $100 Million in back taxes plus $400 interest.

Instead of collecting the billions owed from oil companies, the legislature passed legislation to reduce interest to only 3 years.

The statute of limitations is running out on 10 years of audits (possibly +10 billion owed) and they are auditing midwives and veterinarians.

This proves they are not trying to fix the budget.

They work for the oil companies who want access to the Permanent Fund.  They want us to return all the money to them in tax credits.

Everything else is theatre.
