Raff, The Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority, the Alaska Energy Authority, and the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation are quasi private but actually state government agencies that we ABSOLUTELY DON'T NEED. 450 employees that have been sucking on huge state money since the oil started flowing, and producing very little of value to Alaskans. 
As to the $800,000.00 Boston based audit contract we DON'T CARE HOW they do it outside. All three state agencies are donating employee payed time and hundreds of thousands of dollars to lobby the Boston auditors in an effort to influence a report justifying 450 high payed state jobs and control of billions of dollars in state assets.  Alaska can no longer afford the fat.
