There's the old saying: Lead, Follow, or Get Out of the Way. The AK Legislature needs to Lead, and they can start by digging into their own wallets FIRST, before reaching into their, (HA!) 'constituents' pockets (read: serfs). If the Big Fix being offered to fill this 'hole', that the legislature has been waving like a red flag, is to pour the Permanent Fund into it, I say NO. 

With only the information that I have seen in the news, I was able to find over $400 million dollars in savings. And the Legislators in Juneau can only find the States' piggybank? And their battlecry is 'We must Pillage the PFER, to save Government!' WTH? The 'Government' we have right now is beyond our means to support! And when Big Business Elites start to cozy up with our 'representatives' there is skullduggery afoot.

If the PFER is their go-to slush fund, their first at-bat, then I say let the bloated, overstaffed, run-amok 'Government' in Juneau burn to the ground. And I've got a fiddle and a can of gas.
