I once flew back from Dutch next to Mr. Seybert. He had built a successful business in an area few others would touch. We talked about Grummans and the challenges. This piece is like sitting next to him again. It is a piece of the pre-pipeline Alaska when we were all in this together and looked for a solution that was best for the whole population. There were disagreements, but not the vitriol I read now. In a UAA class last year an economist demonstrated that the state budget per person had not increased, the population had. Alaskans have not been paying for most government expense, the oil companies and Federal government has. The PFD substantially paid people's property taxes.  The free ride is over.  I concur with virtually all his recommendations and wish him well.
