Reducing the PFD is the results of politicians not dealing with the budget crisis.  The passing of SB21 was passed by a small percentage of Alaskans. SB21 has help create this budget crisis.  It about time that the average Alaskans starts having some interest in what the politicians are doing instead just waiting for their PFD check to how up every year.    The PFD great idea but it has some flaws that created a entitlement system.  Government created a system where people could live where they could not afford to without government assistance.  I was around before PFD and if you couldn't find work where you were you went where you could.  People  that couldn't afford to live in State left.    The country has realized that giving people free stuff leads to many problems, look at the reservation system.
