Come on, Alaska House and Senate, and the Governor as well, start cutting the budget instead of playing around with higher taxes.  Make a 5% across the board cut to the number of "real" state employees, pass a resolution to start negotiating real cuts to the overly generous state worker's pay and benefits.  Raise the income level to receive state financial benefits.  Eliminate the PFD completely.  Eliminate two of the three university administrations and lay of the surplus two.  Do your job for Alaska's working people!
