The Permanent Fund Dividend is oil money that Alaska pays to the people. Every legal resident gets a dividend every year, even newborns. It's like a negative tax, and there is no state tax. When you apply for the first time for the dividend you are usually denied, and reinstated when you provide proof you are qualified to receive it. It's administered very scrupulously, as far as I can tell. You have to declare that you intend to stay in Alaska 'indefinitely.'

Weather in SE Alaska is moderate, but dominated by overcast and rain. A couple weeks a year it goes below zero.
