I hope State employees are required to go with the cheapest fare and not the more expensive ones with AK Air or Delta air miles. Over all this is good news. Tax the tourist! Treat them like we do the oil companies. Give them vouchers for 2 billion dollars to spend anywhere in the world and make AK residents pay for them. Maybe somehow this will turn our economy around. And pay the airlines for bringing them here. Then subsidize the J1 visa employees to come here and do all the work.
