I don't understand. Are you saying you would prefer lower taxation and abusers foot the bill for the programs? That's not how society works though. Otherwise Alaska wouldn't be getting a positive return on our fed tax dollars. Just think of it as the negotiated price for this endeavor. We will tax, SHOULD put 100% of revenue back into the regulation, enforcement, and treatment programs. Otherwise we just created another slushy revenue fund they will keep jacking up the tax on until most goes back to the black market, the anti-backers will proclaim it a failure while shooting themselves in the foot, etc. The voter intent is clear, the legislative intend becoming more clear and we need to make sure we address things reasonably, efficiently and fairly.
