As long as rural Alaska continues to get an all (State) expense free ride for all basic services, and Gov Walker continues to give 138 rural communities citizens welfare for life, then don't expect support for new taxes.    All the Kings horseman (GCI/Rasmussen) and all the Kings men (Unions) won't be able to convince the peasants to maintain their bloated state spending again.    The sooner they realize that fact, the quicker we fix this problem.    It is not the governments responsibility to subsidize the personal choice some make to live in areas of the state with no economy.
