Should we plug Alaska's fiscal gap with part of the permanent fund dividend?
Former Governor Hickel thinks so, according to this Associated Press story from the Fairbanks News-Miner:Hickel: Use dividends to deal with state budget. His suggestion is to take half the money used for the dividend and give it to local governments. "The community dividend could be used at the discretion of local governments, or residents could vote on what projects to fund, he said."
