We're de-emphasizing a lot of the ideological issues, the more extreme issues, the philosophical things, to put forward a very straight-forward, aggressive, mainstream agenda that involves moving the gas line forward, education funding, the PERS/TRS issue...You can see that those things are not a Democrat agenda, not a Republican agenda; it's an Alaskan Agenda. Nothing too radical...
Before you think me too hasty, I would remind you that two of the three issues that Sen. Ellis mentions tend to divide rather than unite. How should we fix the PERS/TRS problem? Are schools generally underfunded? How you answer these questions depends on your philosophical/ideological assumptions. Please take your heads out of the sand, Senators.
Do the Math:
Liberal ideology = spend
Conservative philosophy = balance the budget
Nine Democrats + Six Republicans x Nothing Radical = Straightforward
