#AKsenate: we need more equitable revenues to pay for all the add'l spending everyone wants. #AKhouse: Nah, we'll just keep cutting PFDs (regressive taxes on #WorkingAKfams) until they are gone so that the Top20%, #NonRez & #OilCos, are protected. #akleg

The battle b/w different #akleg caucuses focuses on who gets the money. The incoming maj's favor union priorities; the outgoing #AKHouse majority favored oil, gas & resource priorities. The one constant b/w them? #WhoPays. Middle & lower-income #AKfams do thru PFDcuts; the Top20%, #NonRez & #OilCos don't. https://buff.ly/3MsqmZi

🙄 Let's be honest with ourselves. The #akleg Majorities don't really care about #WorkingAKfams. If they did, they wouldn't be using the "most regressive tax ever proposed" to pay for govt. Instead, just like the #AKHouse minority when they were in power, all they really care about is diverting $$ to their favored spending pots. The process stays the same; only those receiving the $$ change. https://buff.ly/403x4fH

🤦 The new #AKHouse Majority apparently believes the best way to retain #WorkingAKfams is by disproportionately 𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜 their income to subsidize the Top20%, #NonRez & #OilCos. #akleg #VoodooEconomics https://buff.ly/4i60zo3

#Alaskans tune in today at 5:30. Looks like a super-majority coalition of Republicans and Democrats in the #AKSenate Hoping the same for the #AKHouse
