1) this article is biased... so much time is spent bashing the other side rather than justifying the right plan;

2) enshrining the PFD doesn’t guarantee better public safety and education - better policies would though - think about that;

3) a tax is only 15% of the solution... it’s not the savior. Quit going after the producers already;

4) if a PFD is enshrined, then make sure inflation-proofing is too - you both voted against inflation-proofing this session;

5) deposit the proper royalties in the principal as well... that’s a failure to preserve our wealth for the future;

6) about 15% of wages are from out of state folks - don’t use out of state people as a means to get a tax passed;

7) you better get a better bill than HJR 23, because it’s inherently flawed. Perhaps you should call Steve Rieger and try to get it right. Your bill has problems, as it did the first time, and if you cared you would get it right. Don’t waste the public’s time with gimmicks.
