The PFD was set up so Alaskans could reap some benefit of the State's spoils.  Today there are none, so the State shouldn't be paying out a dividend while simultaneously approving deficit budgets.  Stop the PFD before instituting any personal tax (income or sales).  BTW, we're still not in crisis mode...last I heard the CBR could cover a couple more years of deficit spending.  Not until the CBR and PF are both gone will we be faced with a true financial crisis, and then we'll tackle it.
