So what`s your point? The legislature in juneau costs Alaskans 70 million bucks every year to entertain lobbyists.  A lot more than those new hires who will collect the state income tax. At least those new hired income tax folks would earn their pay collecting needed revenue... unlike the Senate majority who only know the "cut government" playbook.. while they spend our ACES savings down to zippo.... (but don`t ask us what to cut!). Unreal..
