Part of the oil co fiscal PLAN for Alaska is have the Legis raid the PFD.
The Raiding idea has been around for years since the mid '92s. You notice the PFD only raiding idea only shows up every time the Legis starts looking at taxing the oil more or cutting their well fare check .. 
Now for the
Question: If any of you were and oil co executive would you do the same thing?
Ans: YES.

Decoding News Speak: 
"Marty Rutherford served as acting commissioner of Natural Resources (2002, 2006, and 2016) and as deputy commissioner of Natural Resources under six governors." 

Translation: "6 governors" is 24 years and 2016-24 in state gov equals 1992. 

1992 is the time frame  when ISER started pushing the idea per their 'economic study' data  that time. (their study is on line which is how I known about it!)

In my judgment, "moles" have infiltrated state gov ... for years.

This is why Walker is ramming the  $4k PFD tax per house hold of 4 through without a vote of the people.
