text: Cut the 1% For Art program, cut the AK Aerospace Corporation, disband the AK Gasline Development Corp ($12million and 26 employees), cut the AK Performance Scholarship Program, cut the Power Cost Equalization program (nearly $1 billion), reduce funding to AIDEA and Alaska Energy Authority, eliminate the Department of Labor & Workforce Development and the Department of Commerce & Economic Development; any necessary functions could be transferred to other Departments, reduce the “vacancy rate” for the entire State government; this will cut the number of funded/vacant positions which provides surplus funds to the Departments, fund K12 schools directly, not school districts; this will ensure that the needed dollars actually go to the classroom where the real education occurs; it will also reduce the bloated bureaucracy in some of our school districts. Just a start but more than you and the legislature have done.
