At first it was disappointment with the administration, the
Republican Party, and the Legislature. But now I, as many
others, feel betrayed and violated by them, for disregarding the
will of the citizens of Alaska.
The statement made in the Sept. 14, 1999 special election paid
for by the taxpayers, was that 83% said, “Don’t touch the PFD
without a vote of the people!” With that statement, why has the
above politicians taken it upon themselves to pursue spending
the earnings of the Permanent Fund in SB 98, the supplemental
appropriation bill? It passed both houses last week and now is
going to the Governor.
Our Legislators voted along party lines, so why vote for
individuals? Just red or blue and then the Governor can be
dictator.
I don’t believe this is what the citizens of Alaska expect or
want. Standing up for my country in the Navy and being part of
building Alaska in many ways, I believe that the people want
fairness and honesty by those who we choose to lead us.
Certainly not deception while campaigning and when elected, then
disregarding those they are supposed to serve. They should hang
their head, if they do less.
