Citing unsustainable budget deficits and plummeting oil revenues, Walker argues the current system can’t survive—and says voters should decide before lawmakers. His running mate Randy Hoffbeck explains the move isn’t about cutting Alaskans off, but recalibrating for today’s economy, with options to spread payments over time. Critics call it reckless, but Walker insists this is a realistic, one-time fix—and if elected, they’ll push it to voters in 2027.
