$1,100
That is the size of the Permanent Fund Dividend the Alaska House Coalition unanimously approved this year: twice.
-The first time, the House failed to gain the necessary 2/3 vote required to fund the dividend, reducing it by half. Rather than work with the Legislature to ensure full funding of the dividend, the governor then vetoed the dividend completely.
-During the most recent special session, Coalition members voted unanimously to restore the $1,100 dividend, which the governor finally accepted.
