Isn’t this a program penned under Gov. Palin ?
Man I am going to make a killing by taking a truck load of refrigerators up there!
Alaska Ping!
Don’t buy any arilane ticket up here quite yet.
This is likely the **LAST** PFD to ever be paid.
We (here in Alaska) are looking at a State Income Tax, State Sales tax and damn near any other kind of tax you can imagine because the price of oil has tanked and the amount of oil in the pipeline has declined @ nearly 6%/year for the last decade.
Pretty quick, you won’t to rent a U-haul - everybody will be headed back Outside...just like in 1995/96.
If i had the voice i would suggest to President elect Donald Trump to come up with a nationwide dividend, payable ONLY to citizens and other key requirements.
I can obviously think of just what those requirements could be.
Too bad Texans didn’t have Gov. Palin to get us a deal like this. We let the oil barons rob our citizens of their share of the natural resources of Texas. (The OK Indian tribes were smarter than that.) Billions of dollars are locked up in state funds, such as the Permanent University Fund, while Texas parents can’t send their students to the University of Texas system or the Texas A & M system because they can’t afford the ever-rising costs. Yep, we Texans surely are gullible.
On the PFD website you may elect to donate all or a portion of your PFD to charity. The program is called “Pick-click-give”. I don’t know how many Alaskans take advantage of this but we always support the local community radio station and the animal shelter.
Yay!
