I've been doing some serious soul searching about this whole issue and I've come to the conclusion that whining that the oil lobby is only paying 85% of our local government's budget and concluding that they need to pay the other 15% is ludicrous. Where are we going to find the other 85% when there isn't an oil industry? That is the question that seems lost here. The PFD program is the only logical solution to a long term problem that no one seems willing to acknowledge... That Alaska's future, at the moment, looks pretty bleak.
