Apparently, only about 25% of Alaskans (the middle class-what a surprise) will be eligible to be taxed on their income (after filing a federal return). How is that paltry sum going to fix anything? And how it that fair and equitable? It needs to be a sales tax so it is distributed more evenly. We could have it only during summer tourist season, or we could have either munis or the state tax lodging at higher rates than it is now. Again, this could be seasonal. Make all the cuts, then raise taxes on cigarettes, soda, alcohol, fuel, and MJ. We should be rolling in dough in no time.
