At the very least, the Legislature should insist that this mis-named Permanent Fund Protection Acti- or whatever it's called, should be sun setted in 3 years or less & the PFD calculation returned to what we have now.  Better still, hold the reduced PFD payment money for future payment to residents - just like the State holds oil tax credits for future years. Every governor since Hammon left office has tried various means of getting to spend that PFD on government, rather than seeing the people spend it as they deem appropriate. Nothing new here.
   Oh, maybe there is something new, as it seems BigOIl has its eyes on eventually getting all of the Permanent Fund, too.
   Either we rid ourselves of oily members of the Legislature or we see our State treasury being transferred to BigOIl bank accounts.
