text: All for show to try to get democrats elected this fall.    The only way to even come close to balancing the budget without the PFD is massive cuts to the very social programs the Dems champion.    I'll believe Wielechowski when he signs a pledge to never vote to use PFD earnings for government (which he will never do).  
  
  Remember, the Democratic Party in Alaska is the group that withhold approval to fund this years budget until the republicans added millions back into the budget, that resulted in a net $13 million increase over last years budget, before Walkers vetoes.   The only way democrats can get elected in Alaska is to deceive the voters; don't fall for it.
