Remember Walker promised to rein in salary costs?

He lied.

Alaskans now have to fund these high unsustainable blooming state salaries because investment co. CEO's, GCI, unions, bankers, a cadre of their lobbyists, and whoever else, including the Dispatch publisher, were selected to hatch financial schemes at those closed-door, closed-to- public meetings in the gov's office.

Walker, "Where's that dang S&P release that says my plan passed the senate? We need it - now! Before the House vote! Quick, call Hackney, Gillam, Rogoff, Duncan! Get 'em on it to get 'er done!"
