Thank you governor, for making the hard decisions.  History will regard you well.

$7,660,000,000.00  ($7.6B)

That's how much of OUR oil is leaving the north slope this year, even at these prices. (based on current price/throughput).  Those who blame our loss of revenue on the price of oil...are lying.  There is plenty of revenue generated from our oil, every hour of every day.  It's being given away to the oil industry, due to SB21, while Alaska withers.

Governor Hammond was right, when he insisted that a dividend would make Alaskans pay attention to the Fund.  So far, Alaskans have been fat and complacent, paying little attention to the states fiscal issues.  

Once they understand what's really going on, with respect to revenue loss, ...well...
You may have just awoke a sleeping giant. At long last.
