In all fairness, when the mayor said there is a multimillion dollar deficit, he didn’t itemize.
Let me help, there is a 3.7% decline in enrollment in Anchorage schools, thus one would think there would be corresponding cuts to the ASD budget. 
There is close to seven thousand private sector Alaskans laid off, with a majority packing up and leaving town. Factor in a major deployment, shouldn’t we be tightening the belt vs increasing spending?
Perhaps we should end the sweetheart tax deals the assembly gifts to CIHA, and other subsidized developers; after all we forced an end to oil tax credits.
If the regulatory commission rules Anchorage has one too many power generating facilities the deficit will explode. 
If one thinks a ten cent tax on gas helps, the loss of volum will only increase the cost to all consumers.
Paul doesn’t have to be specific because we already know there is a need for cuts.
