You are correct, Mandy, that both Governor Walker and the Republican majority are closely looking at restructuring the Perm Fund, but they can't touch the Perm Fund principal without voters' approval.  We get our PFD from the interest off the principal, which Governor Walker and the legislators CAN restructure without the voters' approval.  Last legislative session the Republican majority DID entertain the idea of taxing the PFD.  They called it "capping," but in reality it's a tax.  Somethings gotta give.  We either have to lose part of our PFD, reinstitute an income tax (Governor Walker has proposed 6% of what we already pay into the federal kitty), and a statewide sales tax.  I'd rather give up a 6% income tax and a small sales tax.
