So what "areas of the economy" will Tichotsky be "examining?" What new industry has EVER been encouraged in Alaska? I am hopeful that our new leadership in Juneau can find a way to attract new businesses to our state. We simply must find a way to compete in the 21st Century's new fiscal paradigm of incentives for industries to relocate. It will likely take state taxes or a more creative use of PFD profits. I have noticed that all talk of economic diversity  disappeared from the political conversation the very day the recent election was over.
