There really is no valid argument, IMO, for people in AK to receive a PFD. Talk about a socialist program! I have no problem with using it to pay for gov. I don't care how many snogos and liters of booze it pumps into the state economy, I think it does more social harm than good anyway.


I wonder if you get kickbacks from Alaska Powersports, Compeau's, and RavnAlaska? grin (or NOT!) ...and while we're at it, roll back the Vote Dope Alaska, and close Brown Jug....speaking of more harm than good! wink And then there was the idiot who suggested that Alaska needs to consider the lottery. eek (Stupid is as Stupid does I suppose.)

(But I do think we might/should consider PFD cutbacks... significantly.)
