text: We have cut enough for now Charlie.  And with the budget this young state needs to grow it`s energy infrastructure and spread it`s tax base away from oil, and get out of the boom-bust cycle of oil price swings, we need educated and healthy kids.  Even if there ARE more cuts to be argued it`s enough at this point.  
    It`s time to pay our way like other states in this union with taxes and fees, and a sustainable draw on part of the earnings of the permanent fund while leaving the dividends, and inflation proofing of some kind.  I don`t want Alaska to be under the boot heel of a feckless and dishonest industry claiming to be our "partner" but needing subsidies that we cannot even audit for effectiveness. No thanks. I support this governor`s efforts because it`s a well thought-out plan.   Until a sensible other plan is presented MONDAY, we need to stick with the Governor`s plan, which is still written in pencil like he said.  But jiminy christmas, let`s get to it.  Just my two cents.
