Interesting reading about the various politicians supporting a $2,700 Permanent Fund dividend payment and saying it would kickstart discussions about a long-term fiscal plan. All too many times we have heard our politicians talk about the importance of a fiscal plan but then do nothing. My suggestion would be to put the PFD at $0 until a fiscal plan is completed; perhaps this might motivate our politicians to do less talking and more working.
