Massive kudos Senator W.! I was wondering why you waited but now understand. As for you that agree with Walker...think about it a little deeper. This is an $1,100 tax on each and every eligible Alaskan citizen, children included. That is just this year for starters! A state sales tax would be much more equitable based on individuals spending abilities. And yes, that includes taxing your PFD when you spend it. A state sales tax would be proportional and swallowable even considering how many states (and Alaska cities) already utilize it successfully. .07 - .10 cents on the dollar  trumps swiping $1,100 at one pop any day. I voted for Walker but never dreamed he would do this to Alaskans. I'm on disability from 6 back surgeries so this really hurts long time Alaskans like myself where and when we need it least! Good luck Senator W.!!!!! We'll be watching very closely hoping for positive results! Thank you for your efforts no matter how it turns out....
