text: The local fight, the Alaska fight is to protect the Permanent Fund. Donald Trump did  not steal half of the check from Alaskan children and other less powerful Alaskans in order to avoid income taxes and reduction of generous state benefits. Both political parties and the elite of all races went along with this solution. Donald Trump probably has never heard of the Permanent Fund. Restoration of the Permanent Fund as an independent source of wealth for all Alaskans would be an important victory for liberals, conservatives and people of means of no political leaning. Don't blame Trump for a theft he did not engineer right in your back yard.
