Our legislators need to bite the bullet now instead of wasting so much money daily.  We need a balanced approach to our fiscal situation which includes reduced oil and tax credits, minimum floor on oil and gas taxes, broad based taxes as proposed by governor, income tax, some use of permanent fund Earnings,  and stopping spending on mega projects.  Despite some comments, government spending has been cut, many will begin feeling it in the next few years. Unfortunately some of the cuts seem ill advised, as they were match dollars which brought in many times more dollars to the state than matched.  Before pipeline we had income tax and supported schools, the university, the arts, and each other.
