I did the math.  An $11,000,000,000 (that's Billion dollars) for 600,000 residents comes to about $50 per day per person.   $200 per day per person for a family of four.  We are not getting our money's worth.  The money goes to fancy buildings that are abandoned, junkets for politicians, special sessions for the legislators, high salaries for consultants for a pipeline that will probably never get built.  Our highways are a mess with not a major highway construction since the 1970's, education has not improved (it just costs more), villages are still without adequate sewer and water facilities, and cuts are made in all the wrong places.  
Cutting corrections where they do the most good such as the slaughter house in Palmer is stupid.  Can the governor understand rehab of criminals?  They threaten cuts to education and public safety because that is what people see. 
I suggest before any new taxes, cuts to the legislative budget, cuts to the governors budget, and sell empty buildings.
