"Minority members quickly held their own news conference in which they accused the coalition's leadership of ignoring their ideas for spending cuts."

Until this year the current "minority" held power for the better part of 25 years so they had plenty of time while they were the "majority to enact their ideas for these spending cuts. They failed so completely and thoroughly that Alaska voters actually chose Democrats over Republicans. That happens about as often as Haley's Comet comes around. It happens about as often as Trump saying something intelligent. 

Republicans have nothing to complain about. They had their chance to enact their ideas and get a handle on our budget over the span of 25 years. They failed epically.
