The Legislature doesn't understand "New Wealth" concept which could fill the budget gap. Sell 1 million acres @ $2,500.00 per acre would generate 2.5 billion a year times 5 years = 12.5 Billion to spend on government and produce incentive for growth in the private sector where New Wealth will produce revenue to local ...

The question is - whatever you want to call the "comprehensive solution" of the Rasmuson's "Plan4Alaska" - why did several former Legislators refuse to sign off on it at this meeting because this "solution" requires considering capping the PFD and restructuring the Fund without a Constitutional guarantee for the PFD?

Asinine "bickering"... Oh, really? You favor acquiescence to the powers that be - your heroes who brought us SB 21 with all of its proven magical properties? Of course you do, Steven. You've proven your fealty again and again and again. Some things are truly worth fighting (not bickering) for.

The idea has merit, but nothing regarding taxes is "simple". Consider how the State will determine each person's income, for example. Wages, PFD, Federally reported investments, yes....other income, not so much
