Tap the PFD & only Alaskans pay. 
SALES tax taps everyone, including tourists, transients, airport users. Plus a state Sales Tax may slow the bureaucratic growth of local gubmuts.
An INCOME tax has positive aspects, including taxing outsiders who make big bucks in Ak.
Of course leaning down gubmut is necessary, fewer employees, lower salaries & benefits, reduced services - all necessary.
Obviously we must re-do the gal/oil tax, but to get that done, first we must install ETHICS RULES in the Legislature. Support HB44.
But if we allow the PF/PFD to be "Restructured",etc. we will see it all go away soon. The PFD is Alaskan's share of the gal/oil that is held "in common" by the state, for its residents. The PFD should be sacrosanct & never used to pay for gubmut blunders.
It is sheer fallacy to think seizing PFDs will cure the Recession - that's as crazy as the LNG Pipe Dream.
But more Alaskan's need to take a more active part to protect their PFDs, their lifestyle, their state.
