Those who abide seizing any part of the PFD apparently view it differently than I do. In Ak, oil/gas rights are retained by the State -meaning us, the residents. The PFD is in fact a dividend derived from our property - it is NOT welfare. 
However, I do favor a reasonable income tax & I favor reducing govt. personnel & expenses that come with that. 
A sales tax would be appropriate in that everyone, including the hordes of tourists would help pay for the infrastructure they enjoy.
Robin Brena has clearly explained how we, the resident/owners of Ak are being swindled by the current SB21 tax system. We should give him more time & respect than the Legislature did last Friday.
So, let this tough chore begin with the passage of HB44, which puts some teeth in the ETHICS RULES without which we will see more votes from Oily members of the Legislature, along with a serious revision & overhaul of the Oil/GAs tax system. 
Miracles do happen - the Patriots won!
