Comment: It all boils down to this...money. When the oil coffers are full and pockets are plush, no one gives a rat's pa-toot about two kids flying to school every day. But when the coffers are bare, everyone wants a quick fix that 'someone else can pay for.' Bristol Bay's red salmon run is the largest in the world and brings billions of  sustainable dollars into Alaska's economy every year. Remember that the next time you pay the Alaska State Income Tax. Oh, wait a minute, we don't have a state income tax...yet.
