text: OK, so let's all point fingers and blame people from the past as our do nothing legislature twiddles their thumbs. The fact of the matter is, and the reason we are in this position, is that the Republican party has been responsible for the state budget for the past twenty years and they have spent like drunken sailors. Meyers, Cogdill, et al now must face the fact that they have put the future of Alaska in jeopardy. They created they problem, they need to fix it now. As stated, they cannot kick the can down the road and not make matters worse. Basic math proves that. Alaskas Future has spent several years in a bi-partisan study knowing years ago that this day was coming. 
  
  I have seen their presentation and it is apolitical. Their only goal is to pull Alaska back from the brink of ruin brought on by a lack of leadership in the legislature. They, like all Alaskans, have skin in this game and want to see a strong, vibrant future for Alaska, not the broken hlk that we are about to become.
