text: Splendid column again today Shannyn. And Happy Birthday to you. The GOP controlled legs is going to give the oil industry $700 Million then fund that giveaway with one half of each Alaskans dividend check no doubt. But then they are going to successfully place the entire blame for the horrible optics of it on the Governor whose balanced plan has been butchered. He needs to veto this pig of a bill and tell the lege to go into another special session where they can come back with a more realistic and sustainable fix for the budget. Don't let them pin this on you Governor Walker. Insist that the Republican caucus rework the bill until it takes back from the oil industry rather than the PFD. Rework the PFD but only after the repeal of the giveaway or nothing at all.
