The House State Affairs Committee is taking up a few bills. It already moved HR 11 renaming Saginaw Bay as Skanax Bay. Now onto two PFD-releaded bills. One would tie PFD size to oil revenue. Another would make PFD payments quarterly. #akleg
The first is HB132 by Rep. Wool. He says the PFD under the upcoming year would be about $1400 to $1500. "It's more reflective of the local Alaska economy than global Wallstreet economy." #akleg
That $1400 to $1500 would be based on a proposed amendment that'll be taken up at a different time. Until then, the bill's gonna get set aside. #akleg
JKT uses the time between bills to explain the why they're renaming Saginaw Bay as Skanáx Bay. Skanáx Bay was one of the three villages and campsites bombed by the USS Saginaw in 1869 that caused "an unknown number of deaths by starvation and exposure."
