Let me ask the Governor this:  What would you do if a Permanent Fund Account didn't exist?  What plan would you put together then?  I think this is the position the governor should be working from.  I willing to bet there would be more effective legislation.  

Again as I mentioned before, I attended a former Governor Jay Hammond fund raiser, when he announced the creation of the Permanent Fund, even before it reached the press, and it was never intended for state government spending.

Now Governor Walker, why don't you try developing a budget as if the permanent fund didn't exist?
