Past, Present Lawmakers File Joint Lawsuit to Overturn Governor’s PFD Cut
Sen. Bill Wielechowski, along with former legislators Rick Halford and Clem Tillion, filed a lawsuit Friday morning over Gov. Bill Walker’s cut to Alaska Permanent Fund dividend checks this year. In June, Walker slashed funding from the state budget to artificially make the payout this year $1,000, when original estimates placed the amount closer to $2,000.
