Is Gov. Bill Walker's legislation to restructure the Alaska Permanent Fund a raid on residents' dividend checks? Or is it the only way to guarantee the dividend program exists in perpetuity?

Sen. Bill Stoltze, R-Chugiak, and his Senate State Affairs Committee want to know what you think. They're taking statewide public testimony on Walker's bill, Senate Bill 128, on Thursday at 5:30 p.m.

The bill is aimed at fixing the state's $3.8 billion budget deficit, though it also would reduce Alaskans' dividend checks.
