Scott Hawkins should have included a spinning top in his attack ads.  That top would reflect the commentary he had published in ADN on April 24, 2016.  In THAT commentary Mr. Hawkins said "board based taxes" were essential to a sound fiscal plan for Alaska.  He went on to state that either an income tax or a sales was necessary for Alaska.  

Mr. Hawkins is Prosperity Alaska and his goal is to tilt everything to benefit his bottom line, not Alaska, and certainly not Alaskans.  Less tax for the oil and gas industry and less revenues for Alaska sums up Mr. Hawkins quite well.  Lets fix our fiscal problems by focusing on the needy rather than the greedy.
