Simple solution, if the comments and letters are so "disturbing" for you, don't read them. I believe the majority of people who oppose the governor/legislature taking any of the dividend would be far more supportive if there were at least realistic efforts made to ensure that the oil companies were feeling the hit as well. I don't have a problem with loosing all or part of the PFD for the right reason, and it won't make or break me personally. My opposition is to the government taking it from the people of Alaska and handing it to the oil companies. Show me language that amends or eliminates the current tax credits/incentives to the oil companies first. When I see that, then we can talk about cuts and/or new taxes to my income.
