Given the turmoil in politics today, perhaps this is the best they can come up with. I believe that in the long run, it will be a blessing for our children. Why go to college here in Alaska, when there will be no jobs here? Sending our kids to the lower 48 is like giving them freedom! Alaska is so far behind the education curve that I truly doubt it can be fixed! One good that might come from the Republican process, is that the population of Alaska will decline until things balance out again. If enough people leave, our budget can be reduced significantly and will be balanced at some point. That way our legislators don't have to make any real decisions. The population that remains will be the legislators and their families. Perhaps that is just their design but who knows what lurks in their minds for sure? All I see in our legislators is nonsense! Make work without any progress. It seems to be the normal thing here.
