JUNEAU -- Top legislators are talking about dipping into the multibillion dollar state budget surplus to send every Alaskan a check for between $500 and $1,000 sometime over the next few months.

The idea is to help Alaskans offset the high cost of gasoline and other fuel, although people could use the money for whatever they wanted. Every Alaskan who was eligible in 2007 for a Permanent Fund dividend would receive what is being called the "energy rebate."

"If you don't use it for that and you get drunk with it that's your fault. But don't put it to us if you don't have money to get through the winter," said Haines Republican Rep. Bill Thomas, who is talking up the idea around the state capitol.
