Suspend the state motor fuel tax since we have enough money
Where the State of Alaska has enough money to get by, we ought to return some of it to the people. That is why I proposed suspending the state motor fuel tax for two years.
The state's road maintenance money is in no way tied to the amount of the fuel tax. So where the state can responsibly give the people's money back, we ought to do it.
