<<Many Kudos to you and your " Gang". Makes you wonder why your oil/mineral companies still make money and the other states with no public fund are real quiet about it. All citizens missed out on this. Thank you.>>

We knew from day one, the oil companies were the largest threat to our freedom as they would try to buy the legislature.

In the last couple of years a dozen Republican's have been indicted and some already convicted of bribary (not one democrat). They have videos of them taking money out of a fish bowl in the Baranoff hotel.

Last year 20 legislators took over $10,000 in campaign money-19 republicans and one bushrat dem.

To get the legislation we did have to give the oil companies an (ELF) tax break. We got it back after the Valdez oil spill by one vote (great story) in which one legislator fell on his sword (betrayed the oil companies and then could never run for politics again) to get it.

The fight was fierce. Of course today all Republicans claim the permanent fund despite the fact they fought it tooth and nail and made us make pay offs to big oil like the ELF tax break.

Jay Hammond was the governor and the kids running the legislature were just a bunch of highly educated 60's hippies, who also knew modern social theory. Hammond led us.

We are now the only state in the union in good shape financially. IN fact we are flush. As well the permanent fund dividend check everyone gets each year stimulates our economy big time.

About 750 million a year goes right into our economy in October each year. Costco and the rest of the retailors bring in thousands of TV's computers etc right around distribution time. In the bush, people buy heating oil and food and tickets to Hawaii-lol.

The theory behind the dividend payment is that people will protect the permanent fund if they have a direct stake in it.
