So the Alaskan people can't get services they need but the oil companies get paid.   That's pretty sound logic (sarcasm). Maybe if Meyer and Chinault included the Democrats in the decision making process all along they would be done by now.   Seems to me this happened a year ago and the republicans didn't learn anything from that (except that they get to continue receiving a per deim check for each day they stay in session.  And BTW I've been a registered republican since I was able to vote.  But I call it like I see it and these so called republican leaders are idiots.
