Thoughts…..The Governor has proposed an amendment to the Alaska constitution to include a 50/50 split of a 5% average of the Percent of Market Value draw from permanent fund including a provision to protect the power cost equalization program for energy.
To be clear, this proposal overrides the traditional formula of the PFD but could be an opportunity to constitutionally protect the dividend for future generations.
Rest assured, I am unwavering in my support for a full, statutory PFD. However, I am here to do the will of the people. This proposition has gained serious momentum in the Capitol and is too important to leave you out of the conversation.
Any constitutional amendment must achieve support of 2/3 of the Legislature before going to a vote of the people.
Email me your thoughts at rep.sarah.vance@akleg.gov
Your engagement is vital to the future of the permanent fund.
