Glad you asked. Put all of the State of Alaska's revenue into the Permanent Fund which would raise the fund to around $70 billion. Then pay the state 4% of the fund balance every year to be used for their operating and capital expenses. In years when the fund produces more than 6% in earnings, pay the excess earnings out to the public in the form of a dividend. Under the plan, this year the State would get approximately $2.8 billion. Of course that is short of what they want but it is sustainable into perpetuity. Continuing to build to the Permanent Fund is the Future of Alaska. We accept pain now, for the benefit of a brighter future!
