Most all of the comments here and the general feelings of the "fossils" are well intended and resonate fairly well with people. But all the solutions call for Alaskans to "pony" up in some fashion to offset the deficit. What's missing in this discussion is that people have grown distrustful of government in general and...

Guess what cate arriola. We need 50 million dollar buildings to sort through all the trials from punk criminals that have invaded my state from who knows where.

Rather than take any portion of people's dividends, the State could issue bonds with a 5 or 10 year maturity to Alaska residents in exchange for allowing the State to use their dividends. Presumably in 5 - 10 years the price of oil will go up and the State could redeem people's bonds with surplus revenues instead of en...

I think the oil tax bill SB21 needs to be rewritten. From what I read we are paying the oil companies to take our oil. How did that happen? We know the Republicans and Big Oil own this state but come on, people. Isn't paying them to take our oil going a little too far?

Chuck, I remember quite clearly as a kid in the 60s that we were judged by our clothes, our weight and other categories. Ugly, stupid hair, pimples, whatever.

Go ahead and pass a property tax cap. Won't it be fun to see what community services get put on the chop block. Watching the Republican majority's budget peep show, looks like municipalities will have to fork out more money and receive a whole lot less in wish list bonds.

Sadly, your perfect God aborts thousands daily. Sadly, just tell a rape victim "to keep her legs closed". Since many in your con-camp don't agree with telling a woman she can't have an abortion if she was raped, that exception takes away any and all other arguments against a woman's right to choose.

This is one of the stupid things anti-gun people say: They list every shooting as a preventable tragedy, even if it is an act of self-defense. Do you ever stop to think that perhaps this is as positive of an outcome as can be? No, then you'd actually have to admit your stance on guns is ignorant.
