Its amazing to see such Herculean effort by the House to achieve its Holy Grail - A Broad Based Tax (income or sales tax) in order to continue funding the Dividend. Notably, the House also inserted a "poison pill" in their own legislation to force the Senate to accept this outcome or face another special session meltdown. I believe that a broad based tax will not comply with Article 9, Section 6 of the Alaska Constitution unless the Dividend is ended. What a waste of energy by the House and Senate. They both should agree to my compromise suggestion. Make this the last year for the dividend but go with the whole $2000.00. Start a low rate income tax of 5% of fed tax in 2018 (not due til 2019). Draw only 4.25% of PF value from the PFE.
