  So what’s a un needed and a very ill-timed income tax called?  A recession is not the appropriate time to impose any new tax,  period.  Reduction of State spending no matter how difficult, painful, depressing, and unfair or whatever you want to call it, is exceedingly necessary.
  The House's election of utilizing a tax, while at the same time paying the same people you are taxing makes absolutely zero sense.

Too many Alaskan’s are cushioned either by location or by Union contracts negotiated when the State was flush with easy cash.
  Take the entire PDF if needed. But only after actual substantial reductions to State Government have been outlined and obtained.
