"We will stand by the Governor as he searches for answers to the crime wave." says Senator Kelly.
  Where the heck has Kelly been the last three years as the crime wave grew?.  And just what is your job Kelly?..if the Governor is doing the one doing the searching?  Oh I remember,..it`s to continue to be against broad-based taxes once again for Alaska, for any reasonable fix he comes up with, as your Senate caucus has said for four special sessions "there will be no tax bill to raise revenue" for whatever "fixes" you say we need, and that the Governor searches,,..without you apparently.  They say in the media your back-pedaling now, that your now willing to have the debate over the need for a tax to put this state on a balanced keel going forward.  We`ll see if your oily conflicted fellow senators agree.   Voters are watching, and want a plan to fix this crime/budget issue. If it takes more cops and new taxes to get it done then let's do it.  We had a tax before and nobody died from it.
