text: Okay so if the oil industry up here in Alaska is dying. Why not start slowly investing into newer found resources. Would the mining industry help uplift this debt we are currently facing and help it keep the PFD if we Alaskans along with the Legislature draft up a amendment and a contract with each big mine that is currently in the state and set aside a percentage that could benefit Alaskans and for the mine (workers and such). Would this plan work theoretically?
