There's really no urgency here, because it is well known that Dermot likes to fear-monger. 
He thinks a lot like the folks at the Anchorage education complex which is to pass a budget that taxes to the cap, exceeds available revenue, then holds the legislature hostage until they get a portion of the request. This is his idea of taking fiscal responsibility towards a sustainable budget. I think I have a better idea.
Pass the senate's budget, but with language that requires a statewide advisory vote to question the implementation of an income tax and restructuring the PF. Here's why Dermot is fearful of this idea.
Alaskans would be voting for a governor at the same time, some legislators too; so these folks would have to campaign on a platform for or against the two advisory vote issues.
The results will be a mandate one way or the other, and the elected folks to carry out the will of Alaskans. This is what scares Dermot.
