It seems the Governor and our political leaders are going to extract operating funds from the Permanent Fund to cover the State's shortfalls.  While this is not totally unreasonable, it does seem to be the easy way out.  I would agree to it, but first I must see an earnest plan enacted to cut and reduce State spending or failing that, the Legislature will burn through the entire Permanent fund within five years, scrabbling over the last dollars until all is gone.  Hope for the best, but anticipate the worst, especially if the Far East really jacks up their oil output and glut the market to the point of $13 per barrel. What are your plans then?  How are you going to encourage people not to move out of Alaska?  I see cuts being made to important human services totaling a few hundred thou here and a few hundred thous there, but then I look at the dalliance of our Legislator's building waste in Anchorage and you can see why people are get angry with such arrogant and unnecessary waste
