Why does new revenue opportunities only mean taxes and a cut to the pfd? I think it can be a lot more than punishing the people for frivolous spending and poor choices on oil tax credits by our legislatures. The state could do a lot of budget cutting just look at the Alaska checkbook, those 20thousand dollar nickel and dimes add up. Its time to work with the cannabis industry instead of regulating against them and casinos would draw in a hella  lot of revenue as well as creat good jobs. The only thing I see with taxing is and a pfd raid is a cover up of uncontrollable spending, once taxes are in place it will only increase right along with the tax bill.
