  Seizing any part of the PFD is a tax on all Alaskans - & only Alaskans. Hands off the PFD,it is our royalty from the "held in common" property which the subsurface rights truly are.
  #1 Return the oil/gas tax to something similar to ACES.
  Also levy a state wide Sales Tax, so visitors, everyone, pays for their use of the state infrastructure. In places that already have a sales tax, well, those locations' budgets may just have to grow less.
  A statewide Income Tax should be imposed, but in reasonable amounts- like what we had before.
  Bottom line is: protect & preserve the PFD as is .... and -
  Do not avoid the real battle, that of returning our take from natural resources to an ACES-like regime.
