The House Majority's use of the term "fiscally responsible" is Orwellian. Proposing additional spending without proposing offsetting revenues - and #WhoPays those revenues - is the opposite of "responsible", it's irresponsible. #akleg https://buff.ly/B5t24GF

Let's be clear. Those pushing to use PFD cuts to fund govt are advocating to ECONOMICALLY HARM 80% OF #AKFAMS (take more from their pockets than any other revenue option). #akleg #useless https://iseralaska.org/2026/01/alaskas-fiscal-options/
