I'm a little too ignorant to understand all these under handed things that go on with our legislator's. I guess when the polls open, the best thing Alaskan's can do is fire them! One comment though about the permanent fund being an unearned gift to the state residents. If we are an owner state and share in the earnings from our natural resources, as was thought, can we at least get our subsurface rights back once the dividend is gone?
