The house majority proposal hits the working middle class of Alaska the hardest! The bulk of the middle class working people live in the big cities of Alaska. They already pay HUGE property taxes vs. having a local sales tax. Many smaller towns, in Alaska, have a sales tax paid, in part, by visitors to these small towns. This allows these small towns to subsidize their services with visitor $$ and low property tax. 45% or more of Alaskans pay NO federal income tax and will pay NOTHING to support the exponential state spending under this plan. We are in a economic down turn, jobs lost, salaries cut, and the private sector business are adjusting their budgets to deal with less revenue. The State must do the same. Approve this plan and watch Alaska become a ghost town. We need a state sales tax. Every resident needs to have skin in the game to solve government overspending.
