"Still no specific suggestions where budget cuts can be made without damage to the state?"

Instead of cutting slow down spending. Charge NOAA more rent. Then stop paying off the tribes and renegotiate a compact or two. Stop paying millions to the tribes for gas tax revenue allowing them to undercut nontribal gas sellers by 20 cents a gallon. Instead of cutting let non-tribal gaming flourish and tax it. If you must cut then get rid of atleast 20% of state workers and cut the pensions and benefits of the rest in line with private sector workers. Legalize online gaming. Privatize the ferry system. Cut the DOT budget by 20% and let 3 guys do the jobs that 6 do now...or 8...
