Alaskans Deserve Full Legal PFD

The Issue

Alaska has a unique situation and benefit to it’s residence. Our elected officials, for the past few years, and in a year of hardship with the coronavirus, have voted against the formula that is written into state law and have taken PFD money out of Alaskan’s pockets. They didn’t just hold back a small amount either, the 2020 PFD should be about $3,100, instead we will only be getting $1,000. For a married couple with two kids that means our elected officials held back $8,400 of the $12,400 that the family SHOULD receive this year. This came after the legislature voted against the Governor’s call for a payback of the funds stolen from our 2019 PFDs. The formula called for $2,916 in 2019 and Alaskans received $1,606. Ever since governor Walker started stealing our money in 2016, Alaskans have not received a full PFD. If we don’t do something now, they will take it all. At the very least we should be getting a full PFD on the year that so many are struggling financially!
