Good for the Senate this will force more cuts.  Cut cut cut. Cut all the millions paid to gas consultants and cut the black holes like gas pipline and Susitna dam. Cut lawmakers travel, cut their staff, offices, expenses Luke stupid mailers. 

Cut cash payments to oil. Make oiil taxes a flat rate. Based in the gross production, not this crazy net tax with all the loopholes and deductions.   

Find ways the state can make money by licensing souvenir products like the state seal or license plates tourists will buy. Get creative, have business make suggestions and then act on them. The state has lots of iconic symbols that if marketed, tourists will buy. I have several great ideas if anyone in government would listen.  In fact just give me a commission on all sales I make for the state so it will cost nothing to get the program going.
