Paying Dividends

Along with the Gov. Mike Dunleavy's proposed spending cuts come job losses. Depending on which economist you ask, the state could lose anywhere from 600 government jobs to at least 12,000 jobs in fields like education and healthcare. But Dunleavy is also proposing to inject almost $2 billion dollars back into the state's economy through a larger PFD, arguing that the PFD and private sector will make up for job losses that come from spending cuts.
