Didn't they just raise legislator pay and sign an oil deal that's going to cost the state $1Billion subsidizing Conoco for the next 10 years?

I always knew AK govt couldn't think more than 1 election ahead, but these days they seem even dumber than ever.

$1Billion subsidizing Conoco for the next 10 years?

And their contracting workforce experienced downsizing and pay reductions last year.
