"The governor's administration says lawmakers' budget hides more than $600 million in deficit spending."

So our Republican legislators are really closet Democrats  in sheep's clothing.   They just love guns and Jesus, hate gays and diversity/minorities, and  want to keep all govt benefits to themselves.  Otherwise they are happy to spend this state into oblivion.   I at least commend declared Democrats for caring about ALL Alaskans while still being honest.   The "closet" Democrats need to be voted out.
