Ballotpedia biographical submission form

The candidate completed Ballotpedia's biographical information submission form:

“	What is your political philosophy? To put the states finances back in order. No other candidate is addressing the other 2/3 of the state's finances that have been diverted off budget along with the multi-billion dollar anomalies in the General Fund and that is why I chose to run. Is there anything you would like to add? Pledge To Protect & Restore The Permanent Fund, Oppose Taxes, And To Restore & Protect The Whole Of The State's Financial Assets & Incomes: 1. Protecting the P. F. D. using it’s historic calculation, along with back-pay to the Alaskan People of all P. F. D. monies taken from them. (Private businesses hide their losses to their stockholders. The State Government hides it's profits) 2. Monies historically destined for The General Fund (budget) that have been diverted into Off-Budget cash pools are to be redirected back into The General Fund to become available again to pay the day to day operating expenses of The State. 3. A forensic audit of all Off-Budget Trust & Agency Funds, along with a list of every stock, bond, and other investment that each Off-Budget Entity owns. 4. All year end Off-Budget Account Surplus Balances are presently listed as “Assets.” This is wrong. Re-Categorize those profits as what they really are; “Excess Revenue.” 5. Change the law, so no account can convert yearly profits into Off-Budget “Assets” ever again. 6. Oppose all new taxes, and consider the layer by layer repeal of existing taxes as the Off-Budget Assets & Incomes are Recovered & Redirected back to The General Fund. (Being that there may be enough monies redirected into The General Fund to fund “too much gov't.”) 7..After the State's day to day operational needs are met; consider a distribution of these excess profits to the People Of Alaska every year, in addition to the P. F. D.	”
