"Kelly, through a spokesman, declined to be interviewed."

I guess this session we are in for "no account Kelly" or "no comment Kelly".

So what was said via spokesperson, is that Governor Walker saved as much money (actually slightly more) by cutting the dividends slightly over 50%. I might add that that $650,000 Senator Kelly gave away on a "no bid" contract amount to roughly to the total that every Alaska lost in reduced PFD payments.  I guess you could say that we lost 51% of last years dividend to pay for this contract.

Question: Would the state have caught any of these 224 ineligible dividends without the costly new program?
