The senate wanted everyone to fork over half of their pfd,  the new legislation was to fork over 500 worth, but without cutting from other areas, and reducing the tax credits we really are just trying to put a bandaid on a bleeding wound by trying to rely on the PFD to pay the bills. 

We have to come down to something we can afford before trying to take the PFD from all alaskans, otherwise the economy will have more problems than you can ever imagine possible.
