Lesil McGuire's analysis and comments are correct.  Surely more adjustments to the oil tax credits and government overhead can be made.  Use of permanent earnings along with new taxes is the only way to balance the state budget without decimating Alaska's economy and to preserve the PFD for the long term.  Personal attacks on Senator McGuire are not in any way helpful.  None of us can control the ups and downs of the oil market.  However, our legislature can act more wisely in spending the State of Alaska's money.
