“The Permanent Fund and specifically the size of the Permanent Fund Dividend has been the hot button political issue for most of the previous decade,” said Sen. Kawasaki. “While there have been many hours of committee hearings and discussion about the size of the dividend, we wanted to bring the debate directly to Alaskans. I think it is important Alaskans to hear both sides of the argument surrounding the PFD, and I am excited for the opportunity to have the discussion.”

Senator Kawasaki will moderate the debate and take questions from viewers. Those wanting to ask questions can either write them in the comment section during the livestream or email them to Sen.Scott.Kawasaki@akleg.gov .

“I would like to thank all the panelists for agreeing to participate in this debate and also the Permanent Fund Defenders for coming to me with this idea and allowing me to facilitate the debate,” concluded Sen. Kawasaki.

This debate will be live streamed to Senator Kawasaki’s Facebook Page.

After the debate, the recording will be uploaded to Senator Kawasaki’s YouTube page.
