Finally some common sense. A state income tax and dipping  into the PFD should be a last resort not the first thing these legislators latch onto. They need to cut cut and cut some more. They need to make the gas pipeline a priority and make Alaska a friendly place for big business, oil companies included. Liberals would love to turn Alaska into one gigantic National Park and tax us working middle class people into the ground !  I for one am sick and tired of all the entitlement programs and feeling sorry for all the poor folks on welfare. How about feeling sorry for the middle class who shoulders most of the tax burden. If you want a fair source of revenue institute a state sales tax but leave the PFD alone.
