That's a flat-out lie, wavey, and I'm calling you on it. Alaska's financial disaster lies squarely on the bought-and-paid-for Oilies in the legislature, the Majority Party of which is the Republican Party, and they have stonewalled the minority party and anyone who stood up against the pork-barrel spending by them for the entire time they have controlled the Senate and the House. The Taj Mahawker is a gleaming example of the edifice of corruption they have raised to salute their exalted status above the People. There isn't enough space in this comment box to list the boondoggles, corruption, and malfeasance in office the Republican Majority has committed to put Alaska in the dire straits it is in now. And yes, there ARE some democrats who have assisted in creating the mess, however, the greater pile of stinking excrement we have been given has come from the republic oinkers eating the budget, and their greedy little eyes are now focused on the biggest prize, the Permanent Fund.
