From my visits to Alaska, I've found the majority of Alaskans want their elected officials to get every penny they can get from Washington D.C. to compensate for Washington D.C. owning most of the state. If you don't like paying through the nose, maybe you should think about giving the people of Alaska the same right to self government as Kosovo Albanians enjoy. They'd have no problem paying for whatever they want or need if the federal government didn't own most of Alaska and rule over the people of Alaska with an iron fist.
Damn Straight Yoswif!. Thank you for recognizing that. The feds have 95% of Alaskan lands tied up, contrary to the Statehood act.
