“Commissioner of Revenue Sheldon Fisher rejected a description of the bill as an income tax like the plans previously opposed by Senate leaders, noting that it would exempt retirement income and Permanent Fund dividends. I don't think this is an income tax," Fisher said. "This is a payroll or a wage deduction tax."”

Ok Sheldon a tax by any other name is still a tax.  Why in the world are these so called professionals proposing such a thing?  It makes no sense to pay the residents of Alaska a PFD and turn around and implement a tax that takes it back.  Granted we are dealing with an extremely bloated Government and unfortunately we have a  group of individuals that don’t have the stones to make the tough call and cash out the PFD and use the rest!

Either way Walker you’re finished.  So save your money and don’t even bother running.
