The real solution, as always, is going to be found in a **compromise** between the two positions of "no new revenue, just more cuts" and "some cuts, some new revenue."

The reality is, cuts have already been made extensively and the time is ripe for new revenue sources. Surely more cuts can be made, as indicated by the recent article about the Fisheries Commission, but cuts alone will no longer be sufficient. New revenue is mandatory if Alaska is to maintain stable financial footing.
