Excellent article. This PFD cut hurts deep. We always use the money to put our vehicles in the shop for expensive but necessary repairs, get the furnace serviced, stock the pantry and pay bills. Every year, we seem to get hit with unexpected large bills about a month before PFD. This year was $3500 ambulance bill. 

Thanks Walker for taking half our PFD's when you have already proven the government is incapable of setting a budget, spending within the budget and holding people and companies accountable to fulfill their contracts according to the money agreed upon. 

I have a $3500.00 ambulance bill when my child suddenly collapsed, weak, vomiting, in pain, with her eyes rolled back and not responding. I'm thankful the 200 chronic homeless drunks and addicts that constantly abuse EMS.

They choose to drink and OD. AND NEVER PAY A SINGLE PENNY. 

My child who never smoked, drank or done drugs almost DIES. 

I pay for my family and THEM. Thank you socialism and ineffective government.
