Comment: Micciche and the Senate should be ashamed of themselves for being so eager to put the Pioneers and veterans in homes like this on the chopping block (before bad PR shamefully made them withdraw it).   Our next generation of vets and Alaska Pioneers must look at that and cringe. And I don`t blame them for thinking maybe oil company executives masquerading as public servants in the State Senate had sought to "serve the people" by cutting the benefits these Alaskan pioneers have earned by paving the way through tougher times, while the Senate Conoco caucus demands their real boss`s oil industry subsidies stay!  
If we continue to give our largest oil basin away severance-tax free we, are stealing the future from our kids and their chance here in god`s country.  Question ANY fiscal fix that Micciche and Meyer and Kelly have a hand in crafting.  Their dividend-cut-only plan is not the best choice as it doesn`t do the job and forces us to waste savings instead of fixing the hole in the ship.
