Permanent Fund Dividends will arrive soon, but the plan to pay for them going forward hasn’t materialized. Legislators have yet to agree on a solution, despite a fourth special legislative session and a list of recommendations made by a bipartisan working group this summer. Advocates share their ideas for a sustainable plan for the future.
Listen here:
HOST: Lori Townsend
GUESTS:
Andrew Kitchenman, State Government Reporter, Alaska Public Media and KTOO
Rick Halford, Permanent Fund Defenders
Brad Keithley, Managing Director, Alaskans for Sustainable Budgets
Cliff Groh, Alaska Common Ground
CORRECTION: Alaska Public Media and KTOO reporter Andrew Kitchenman made an error in this Talk of Alaska. An update to public employee pension contributions will save the state more than $100 million per year. It will not cost more money than the working group assumed.
