First, the Governor failed to do his part and cut overhead and big ticket projects from the budget he proposed.

Second, the Legislature failed in its duty to make a workable solution or a 3/4 vote to access the CBR $13+ billion.

Third, Alaskans overall, haven't paid attention to the annual budget and elected boondoggle hoodwinked into office.

So, the Governor picks the low hanging fruit by finding a way into the PFD and caps it instead of being the adult executive and tries to convince Alaskans that his actions are necessary to preserve the PFD! Utter nonsense!

The PFD was created not as entitlement, not as a form of socialism or free money. It was created so Alaskans would be invested and participating to preserve the principle from unprincipled politicians frivolously frittering it away and for the time when the flow ceased! It has lasted longer than any other fund globally as a result.

It is called "Permenant" for a reason!
