ISER's study clearly said  "the most adverse effect on income is the PFD cut" over other new revenue options. http://www.iser.uaa.alaska.edu/Publications/2016_03_30-ShortrunEconomicImpactsOfAlaskaFiscalOptions.pdf   How can you defend a regressive tax with the PFD cut without public approval?  That is reason enough to reject the plans that raid the PFD and Fund. On top of that, Ask people for funding, don't steal it.  Alaskans can't sustain this size of government (highest per capita spending in the nation) and economy based on public sector jobs. We must not erode our savings,the Permanent Fund corpus, and cheat our grandchildren and all future Alaskans out of their ownership rights to the resource wealth.  Former Gov. Hammond called this economy based on State jobs "uneconomic development."   The healthcare system will bankrupt us if not reformed. Don't dismantle the successful Permanent Fund system and depend on the People's PFD money to sustain this system in need of reform.
