Alaskans can call or email their legislators and governor to not touch the Perm Fund, but the only part of the Perm Fund that they can't touch, without the vote of the people, is the Perm Fund principal.  They can do what they want with the Perm Fund interest, which is where we get our annual PFD.  I'd rather pay the 6% income tax that Governor Walker has proposed.  Why give all of our income tax to the federal government when we can invest some of it into state government?
