Good comment. Yes.  There is so much focus on the expenditure side but what about new sources of revenue, ie business and industry?  Where will the new jobs be?  There is no magic bullet but developing new industries or growing existing ones will help psychologically not just fiscally.  Everybody is hunkering down and fixated on holding on to what they have - which is a pure zero-sum mentality. When was the last time the State really thought hard about how to expand tourism more?  What about intense lobbying to bring more international passenger flights to Anchorage? We get a few charter flights in summer, is there more we can do? Fish? Mining? What else?
