The problem with the Permanent Fund is that it isn't generating enough to cover the 5% POMV draw, i.e, "Alaska [is] spending more from the Permanent Fund than it earns." Rather than address that problem, the #AKSenate proposes opening the door to raiding the corpus instead. #akleg https://buff.ly/uycwiKl
The #AKSenate is proposing to crack open the PF corpus. Don't believe us? This from James Brooks: "The downside is that if enacted, the amendment would turn a short-term problem into a long-term one: Alaska would still be spending more from the Permanent Fund than it earns." #akleg https://buff.ly/uycwiKl
#AKsenate: we need more equitable revenues to pay for all the add'l spending everyone wants. #AKhouse: Nah, we'll just keep cutting PFDs (regressive taxes on #WorkingAKfams) until they are gone so that the Top20%, #NonRez & #OilCos, are protected. #akleg
As some have noted, we've added a line to our regular Friday afternoon "Goldilocks" charts. It shows the portion of the POMV draw required to close the yearly deficit if that's the only source used. It's consistently well above the #AKSenate's so-called "75/25" limit. #akleg
