Poppy-cock.  These bills are not deficit reduction bills, they are Permanent Fund (PF - corpus, earnings reserve and dividend) restructuring bills.  The Sen. Stedman's POMV bill is a re-hash of similar bills over the past 20 years. The Governor's bill not only grabs resource extraction monies that are statutorily split between government and the PF, it sends that money directly into government check books, not savings accounts.  Neither of these bills or anyone besides Sen. Dunleavy, with numbers from Div. Revenue, Leg. Finance and the PF Corp., has pointed out that the state has over $13 billion in annually statutorily funded reserves..  Nor is the Governor directing the oil company audit teams to start collecting the billions owed by the oil companies.  Which, by the way, they could be using tax credits to reduce.  The Governor has not removed 2700 employees, only 77 people have received pink slips.  The rest were long-term vacant positions.  Ask for the truth people.
