text: No, he's right. The Senate isn't saying "cut unnecessary support positions," it's saying "cut 5%." If there are in fact 5% of a Statewide Education budget's worth of valueless support positions, neither you nor the Senate has provided what they are.
  
  I would wager that there are not in fact 5% of a budget's worth in valueless support positions, but I await your detailed information on them. Keep in mind that the Senate needs to defend this cut not merely for Anchorage, but Statewide.
