#AKleg| So, heres a question I intend to ask R legislative candidates this year. Will you refuse to join the caucus if the rules continue to require that you vote for whatever budget the Finance Committee produces. The answer will say more about whether the candidate is a serious fiscal conservative than any other I can imagine. The reason? Here is what the Alaska Business Report Card had to say about the current legislative leadership. However, as with the House Majority and the Governor, the Senate Majority allowed unsustainable unrestricted general fund spending. ... the State’s fiscal cliff looms large. As a result, the grades of the members of the Senate leadership team (President, Majority Leader, and the co-chairs of Finance and Rules chair) were downgraded. If the candidate isnt prepared to step away from where leadership is taking them if the need arises, they arent worth supporting. bit.ly/1tFSDK7
