Summary
Alaska’s political stage is heating up as former Governor Bill Walker unveils a radical PFD plan: a one-time $10,000 payout to every resident — but only if Alaskans vote yes and lawmakers approve it with a supermajority. Walker argues the current PFD is crippling fiscal reform, proposing either a dramatic overhaul or its end. With 17 candidates now in the race and oil revenues falling, the debate over Alaska’s Permanent Fund is more urgent than ever — and the state’s future hangs in the balance.
