Alaskans don't contribute, said about 12 different ways in this commentary. What an outrageous falsehood. According to our state constitution the people own the resources. The resources have been sold and taxed to finance the government. Billions raised yearly, for decades, from you and I. Again that's your and my resources, primarily oil, sold and taxed. And the author says we don't contribute? What, because it doesn't pass directly through our bank accounts? Ms. Gutierrez please explain this dichotomy.
