A statement from another Cheechako wanting something for nothing.  Why does the State of Alaska owe you anything?  Why would the State pay out $20,000 per person?  Getting even a $1000.00 per year is more than most people should expect.  

FYI,  $20,000 lump sum would not create much of a long term dividend, do the math, the dividend from $20,000 would be about $300.00 per year if you were lucky.
