I got an idea! Why not make the oil & gas players build the roads, port, etc. THEN they can have the tax cuts!

Vote NO! With billions in our savings, they ask us to authorize the borrowing of millions...how stupid are we Alaskans. We need to build and maintain our infrastructure, but we need to be more thoughtful in our spending and programming of projects. Personnally, I'm tird of seeing roads replaced only to start to decay a few short months after completion...come on, we can do better!

Would love to red this article, but can't because of the STUPID Lithia Dodge ad that i can't close and continues to slide down the page as I'm trying to read. Now I now know you need to turn a buck and are struggling in these electronic/internet times, but come on...I can't even read the article!!!

I'll be voting NO on spending MORE money and getting MORE debt. The Dems will do ANYTHING to enslave us to debt and deficits.
