Andi - you are right - I could have been clearer. I don't think the legislature is gutting the UA system - I think the people's lack of willingness to jump on an income tax, state sales tax, and use of the PF earnings - as well as the price of oil - is what is gutting the state budget. Blaming it on the legislature whe...

Andy Josephson and his dad, Joe, learned lawyer's both and Joe also a former lawmaker are men of integrity. Andy is correct in his analysis, they are overstepping Constitutional authority.

While it's true that Mr. Westerman doesn't pay state taxes, I'm guessing you don't pay state taxes either (yet). On the other hand as a resident you would pay in state tuition, while a foreign student would pay out of state tuition (about 4 times as high in-state). So since foreign students carry their own weight in ...

Actually, hydropower does produce significant climate-change emissions. When the water rises above the dam, it drowns the year's growth. Much of that organic material degrades anaerobicly, producing methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Sad to say, there's just no free lunch to be had.

I support the income tax coming directly out of the paycheck and not reflective of the income reported on the federal return, and also a small tax tax on everything excluding groceries and medicine. I believe we should leave the PFD alone.

dear legislators, please give everybody want they want even though there is no cash. make especially sure to give away any money needed for freebies, giveaways, grants, and welfare. don't cut anything, just give them whatever they desire. don't try to present financial facts, its a waste of time.

A sales tax is regressive, and if not tailored fairly has a far worse affect on struggling lower and middle income families, retirees and the elderly.

Taking money from the P.F.D fund accounts is a tax on all Alaskans, and not a tax on out of state workers or corporations. I like the idea of using p.f.d checks as a state tax rebate or credit for state income tax on all workers and business. Out of state residents working in Alaska would not get this rebate.
