What is it that for 40 - 50 years, Alaska Legislators were considered part-time (120 day) elected politicians and did not require a personal political office paid for by the tax payers.  What changed?  Oh, yea that's it, the individual tax payers didn't pay any taxes.  Maybe, if only just maybe, we started paying an income tax again, we wouldn't tolerate it, or legislative boondoggle buildings occupied by boondoggle legislators whose campaigns are funded by special interest industries.
