The Alaska Marine Highway System has several vessels they are trying to sell. How about cut the budget and house the House of Representatives and Senate and all their aides on the ferry and have their meals there like they once did. Tie the M/V Columbia or M/V Taku downtown during session. Great to keep the Southeast AMHS ferry workers employed.
Close the AMHS? Let’s close the roads to Fairbanks and Homer. No road maintenance, and let’s charge a toll and build booths. More jobs for Alaskans.
Charge a $100 head tax for every tourist that steps foot off a cruise ship or airplane. They are using our natural resources and the buses are destroying our road. Let Alaskans rebuild our infrastructure.
No more free ride for oil or gas companies. They must pay to take our natural resources.
Make all the Mining Corporations pay to extract our gold, lead, zinc, etc. No more subsidies.
Do not vote for any of the politicians that have a conflict of interest or can’t walk across the aisle and agree to work out a budget.
No more travel for senators, legislators to foreign countries.
Let our governor do his job.
Take the session back to the 120 days. Legislators can’t leave until they get rid of stupid outdated bills and introduce bills that matter on things like the heroin and opioid epidemic and the homeless issues.
The Legislature needs to pay the $37 million for the Legislative Information Office in Downtown Anchorage debacle.
Streamline all state of Alaska departments and unload mid-managers.
Sincerely,
A lifelong Alaskan tired of the self-licking ice cream cones holding our government in hostage
