Why is the burden on Alaskans to be "responsible" and give money for this debacle? Let's have the oil companies pay for it first - we could, perhaps, stop hemmorhaging money in tax credits to the oil companies -  then tax every single person who worked for oil companies, then tax the people who have voted in the regime that got us in this mess,  THEN let's see how much money the rest of us have to shell out.
