Yet another liberal shill for ADN and its publisher. Andy's father, Joe was the most liberal tax and spend guy in the Alaska Legislature. Like father like son. Almost every piece published as news or commentary  by ADN promotes the income tax. There is NO balance. But it matters little because Alaskans will not tolerate an income tax. Period. ADN is the wrong paper in the wrong state. The publisher just doesn't get it. This is a very conservative state made up of individuals who disdain public  handouts and big Govt spending. In 2018 the voters will let Andy and many other Dems know what they thought of their  tax and spend agenda
