Story time I guess...when Jay Hammond came to visit my community my parents asked me to sleep in the living room and Jay Hammond slept in my bed. Ipso facto I know more than you about Jay Hammond - Art Chance. See how it works? First I tell you my experience and then I tell you that I know more than you.  I can assure you that I am well educated (a doctorate of course), have taught (at a university of course), worked in Washington on Capitol Hill (as a lobbyist of course) and worked for a senator (Republican of course). Ipso facto I know more than you. See I did it again. You say all these things about who you are but you fail to see your own biases.  The Permanent Fund is many things to many people. Jay Hammond was not Jesus. He was not a prophet. He was a friend of mine. Jay Hammond was not Jefferson. Jay was a man. Wally Hickel was not Hamilton. Wally was a energetic goofball. They were men of their times. Some had vision and their vision changed as time passed. Jay and Wally RIP.
