1996 Official Election Pamphlet Introduction Page
In a time when commitments are rarely honored, the 19th Republican-led Legislature proved we were different. You asked us to reduce State spending before imposing any new taxes - we cut $70 million and implemented a long range financial plan.
* Promised $250 million in government spending cuts over
five years. We cut $70 million this year.
* Promised to tax less. We imposed no new taxes this year.
* Promised to protect the Permanent Fund. We deposited $1.2 billion into
the Permanent Fund this year.
* Promised to close the gap. Our plan closes the $400 million fiscal gap
in five years.
No state Income Tax
No changes to PFD dividend
No raiding the Permanent Fund
* Promotes Economic Development: Passed many economic development bills to foster
and promote the use of our state's resources and to put Alaskans to work!
* Fights Crime: Passed measures to protect our children, safeguard victims,
and crack down on gangs and juvenile crime.
* Educates Our Children: Fully funded the foundation formula for education,
passed teacher tenure reform and allocated funds for new dorms for the University.
* Reforms Campaign Finance Law: Passed campaign finance reform - even tougher than
the initiative.
* Safeguards Against Federal Encroachment: Fought to maintain Alaska's State Rights.
Despite strong legislative action in response to Alaskan's
requests, the Governor recklessly vetoed tort reform, traditional rights of
access, efforts to privatize, State agency long term planning, disclosure of
juvenile records, elimination of permanent funds for criminals, postsecondary
education revisions, and other bills.
If success is measured by results, the 19th Republican-led Legislature was
one of the most accomplished in State history.
