They're all big spenders and the biggest spender of all is Governor Walker.  Between the expansion of Medicaid and those purchasing healthcare insurance through Obamacare exchanges the State of Alaska just allocated $55 million dollars of Alaska State funds to help cover the losses ACA has inflicted on Alaska.  Everyone's rates have gone up along with the massive amounts of Federal tax dollars paid in subsidies.   Alaska enacted a law to allocate $55 million from an existing premium tax to provide reinsurance for the individual market.  Promises Promises Promises.  "You can keep your Doctor if you like your Doctor.  You can keep your plan if you like your plan."   The Permanent Fund has been fundamentally changed into an annuity for State Government.  The people just an inconvenient nuisance to Governor Walker's plans.
