Once an income tax is in it stays and that's acceptable because there HAS to be a state government no matter what the idiots claim and people should get used to that idea now, because that's the way it will be as the Alaska oil industry is on its last legs unless they open up more territory to drilling.  Most other states figured the tax thing out long ago.   I'd rather see a sales tax so that EVERYONE will have to contribute and it would be spread out, and you could personally have some control over what you buy and pay the taxes on.
