Mr. Stratton highlights the financial Titanic on which we Alaskans sail into economic ruin and contrasts this dooming scenario with a past Century Alaska Legislature levying a $10 and $30 predator control surcharge.  This to keep right on slaughtering bears and wolves from helicopters - wolves at $13,000 per kill in eastern interior -  in the perpetual never-ending barbaric holocaust tolerated by most Alaskans who know little or nothing and exuberantly executed by ADFG  nameless biologist-shooter lapdogs of the Board of Game. The tally is high and growing on the Great Alaskan Wasted Resources meter. This is wildlife slaughter at it's worst including of the iconic Alaska license plate bear, put into continuing prolific waste, shameless, damaging to Alaska's reputation as a wildlife wonderland, by our legislature, facing a pending crash. It is wrong, wrong, wrong, just as wrong as  it is out of tune tone deaf legislature who put the surtax into this deadend but endless predator control.
