Excellent article Mr. Hoke.   The state budget needs to be cut drastically. "Restructure the PFD" is simply code for taking the PFD away from the people. Speak up people, this is the time.  Most of the legislature is owned or employed by big oil. Repeal all oil tax credits. Repeal SB21 and impose a production tax per barrel produced. Stop this give away of the states finite resource. Where else have the oil companies made such obscene profits? Where else does a government pay oil companies to take its oil?  This is an unconstitutional. Tax the gas in the ground until a pipe line is built. 40 years is enough time. If they had built 50 miles per year we would have had production years ago. Shut it down if Alaska isn't going to share in the 500,000 barrels a day going down the pipe.  Hands off the PFD!
