You can still do it Senator - just put the oil credits and state operating budget on the table and cut dollar for dollar until you guys say uncle. 

You folks arguing over the propriety of the PFD amounts - and the notion of personal entitlement to it - is getting us nowhere. The oilies don't want to give up the PFD until there are serious changes to the operating budget - and the anti-oilies don't want to give up their PFD until you cut the petro credits - so the governor tries to put pressure on you through us - and we are back to square one. 
I'll make this bet - the legislature is absolutely going to give up the PFD if the budget is not cut more - and you won't get petro credit cuts in that case either.
