Cut deeper where?  Take away more education for our children?  Defund more and more of our first responder and public safety personnel?  I'm sure there are at least one or two more social services out there that the legislature hasn't gutted.  But gee....look there.  Tax relief for the big oil companies?  Gosh, we can't do that.  Cut the salaries of our legislators....no sacrifice from them.  Wake up to the reality of needing to fund our state (because the oil companies aren't going to rescue us)?  We might be able to get some better decisions out of our legislature if so many of them weren't on oil company payrolls.  I'm an Alaskan and I am willing to pay taxes to keep our state afloat.  Perhaps we might get someone to plan an economic future for Alaska that is not entirely based on being enslaved by big oil.
