So surprised that no one noted that the salary increases Rodell sought for her staff are actually needed to attract them to work in and for Alaska instead of for huge Wall Street firms at much higher salaries. These are the people that actually do the investing that GROWS our Permanent Fund so it CAN support Alaska’s essential services and continue to provide dividends to us. As a member of the House Finance Budget Subcommittee for Administration and Revenue several years ago, I heard the personal appeals for these much-needed salary increases.

The big question: How has the Permanent Fund performed since the removal of Ms.Rodell?
