This program is an extravagance. State services are being cut. The University program is being degraded. These cuts will have a serious negative impact and many state workers, students, etc. If they want to spend 11 million dollars on education, spend it on education for all of our students not just the well-off children. Quality programs will keep students in Alaska. So we have people screaming for the state to eliminate jobs, jobs that support families and keep people in Alaska, but at the same time complaining when the programs from which they benefit are on the chopping block.
