Financial facts: GCI's Ron Duncan, who along with AFL-CIO Beltrami, Dispatch owner, and others crafted Walker's financial plan made $3.4 million last year.

GCI lost $26 million in 2015, nearly $9 million in the fourth quarter alone...But his real problem will come when the Alaska legislature declines to continue to fund his gravy train. 

His Alaska’s Future non-profit threatens opponents with political extinction if they do not get behind his program.

GCI..makes tens of millions of dollars per year off state contracts in Alaska, and it rakes in $170 million of the $230 million the federal government sends every year from the Universal Service Fund—created by Congress to ensure broadband access to all Americans. 

GCI needs Alaska, which provides matching funds for the program, to keep spending as if the oil will never stop flowing.
