It seems with all of the Department of Law lawyers available that the state could have save at least 60 PDF checks at the normal allotment by not hiring this gentleman. In fact the Alaska DoL doesn't even provide legal advice to its residents, so why doesn't Alaska dissolve the Department of Law and retain the amount of Alaska permanent dividend fund checks? Not to mention there are many other lawyers on state funded lobbying issues to create even more laws. Why not stop those contracts and let the people entertain the referendum/initiative process for what laws the people believe important instead of lawyers who propagate the expanse of their own entities into the people's government?
