A brave and concisely true post from a Senator who calls it like it is.
It's not just her emphatic point: ("It's been said the governor, in cutting the budget, deferring payment of subsidies to the oil industry, and capping your Permanent Fund dividend, has acted with courage. It takes courage, we hear, to make unpopular decisions. And this may be true, but courage does not necessarily make one right, and sometimes decisions are unpopular for a reason."), it's also the merely lukewarm feelings of responsibility owed to the former statesmen of Alaska who have given us so much to work with by insulting their memory in destroying the means (the PF), but even worse the tools  (collective oversight) as weasels run through our chicken coop, our nest egg. And Bill Walker's "courage" being hailed here is a symptom of further laziness and disregard for those who blessed us with the Permanent - that's P.E.R.M.A.N.E.N.T. - Fund we who advocated and worked for those many years ago still so revere.
