Everyone knows it is going upstairs for a ruling by the Supremes.  Its actually a reasonable decision.  The PFD is not a right.  It was a product of Jay Hammond.  The original one that was voted in gave $50 bucks for every year you were a resident.  That was found unconstitutional as a result of a challenge by Ron and Penny Zobel in the early 80's by the U.S. Supreme Court.  Today's amounts are based upon averaging over a period of time.  As time goes on, the amounts are going to decline anyways due to continuing low prices.  Blame the legislators for doing nothing.  At least Walker did something.  And he told everyone he would do it if the legislature didn't act.  So who's to blame?  Encourage your legislature to get our house in order, otherwise there won't be anything to distribute within a couple of years.  I doubt there is another Exxon Valdez to jumpstart us out of a recession like last time.  Call your legislator today and tell them to act otherwise soon there won't be anything.
