If Alaska is over flowing in oil, natural gas, gold, copper, zinc, coal. Then those who want those resources purchase them from state. Alaskans should never have to pay any government for services. That's what revenue from selling those resources pay for. So where is all this revenue going? 600,000 thousand people could never spend all the billions. So that means the money was funneled off for millions for paperwork studying the port, dam, bridge, fisheries and whatever and nothing for decades to show but more lobbyist and stupid legislators who can't balance a budget or say no to opportunistic fools wanting riches paid by someone else. Keep your hand off savings and  PFD.
