The major points of the article are correct. It was the Republican Party in power through this whole mess. The most egregious violations of the public trust in decades occurred under their hand, & the most wasteful spending spree ever on such as the Taj Mahawker had their stamp all over it. SB21 was the Crown Jewel of lies and obfuscation carried out by these bought-and-paid-for oil company lackeys, with several of our so-called 'representatives' being Oil Lobbyists/employees while supposedly 'serving Alaskans'.

Does the Democratic Party have the answers? Maybe yes, maybe no. As it stands, the only way to do worse than the Republican Majority has done would be to seize the entirety of the Earnings Reserve and give themselves 100K$ raises to boot. The Republicans refuse to listen to the People on reducing government before taxes or fees, so maybe tossing every Republican possible will help. There's a chance the Democrats will listen. With the Republicans in charge, there is no chance.
