Governor Bill Walker presented a budget plan Wednesday that proposed implementing a personal income tax, decreasing the Permanent Fund Dividend, and changing the oil tax credit system, among other possible solutions for Alaska’s multibillion dollar budget deficit.

KMXT took a few minutes before the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly work session last week to ask people in the room what they thought about the governor’s proposal.
