No to Sullivan

Did you know that the Alaska Permanent Fund could be jeopardized because of Dan Sullivan’s bad settlement of the Mercer case involving the teacher’s retirement trust fund?

Yes, that’s right – as Attorney General, Sullivan settled for less than a quarter of what Alaska needed to make up for the billions lost to the state. And I just found out that when the retirement trust fund doesn’t have enough money to make pension payments, they’re forced to take money from other places – including the Alaska Permanent Fund.

I don’t want to see my PFD check cut, and I don’t think you do either. So please remember that Sullivan failed to protect what is rightfully ours when you vote in November.
