Comment: Steve, I think you're on to something!  Too, I think Alaskans are waking up to how derelict the Republican majority has been.  A good place to start cutting would be the government handouts to oil companies - our state's 3rd largest expenditure.  Then they should move and start cutting pet projects like the Juneau "Access road" to the ferry (heck they already cut the budget for the Marine Hwy) and all funding for KABATA.    :)
