..the train might have 'left the station', as you put it, but that's not how to address the problem.

That train is still picking up speed and there's no one at the controls.

Corporate welfare displaced Alaska's basic necessities,

and corporate welfare will continue to displace and destroy more and more necessary basic services,

..then it's going to start dipping all the more into your reserves and mine,

…the solution is to stop the corporate welfare and claw back the losses.

.
Budget cuts that deprive Alaska communities of basic required and necessary services are a symptom of incompetent and irresponsible governance.

Yet, the electorate returns the incompetents right back to the seats of power.

Where they plan to continue feeding corporate welfare at your expense.
.
Now the plan is to continue with more cuts and add taxes so the welfare can continue unabated.

.
I'd suggest not trying to compromise.  I'd suggest start making some demands.
