The PFD is not an entitlement program - it's a bonus offered to any eligible citizen of Alaska - even if they DON'T work! However, a pension is generally earned by WORKING. Everyone always jumps on the state employees in general - It's the state's DEPARTMENTS that we should investigate. Stop and think of the welfare  'give away' programs going to folks who to believe they're entitled. Particularly, programs that supporting a single parent who continues to have one child after another; increasing  monthly checks from all programs! It's disgraceful we allow such practices. I strongly suspect folks are double dipping, and using multiple services for which they don't qualify. Walker could do something for this state if he tore into the core of our welfare system. Most of the system administrators just out wait the new governors, and continue on with what they're doing year after year... One request - will the jerk who spends his useless day correcting grammar and spelling p%$# off!
