Isn’t Alaska the only state where you can be conservative and still collect a check from the state?
Please allow me to correct you. We in Alaska do not individually own subsurface mineral rights on our own property. The constitution put the state government in charge of selling subsurface minerals such as oil and gold, investing those funds, and splitting the interest from those funds between goverment and shareholders...we the people. The annual PFD checks are no more welfare than a dividend check from Merrill Lynch. Our oil, our money, our interest, our dividend.
