BREAKING NEWS: ALASKA PERMANENT FUND DIVIDEND ANNOUNCED!

Good evening. Just moments ago, Governor Frank Murkowski announced the amount of this year's Permanent Fund Dividend, and here it is:

$1,106.96

That's $261.20 higher than last year's $845.76 payout, but only 60 cents lower than the $1,107.56 we got in 2003.

Many of us who asked for our dividends to be direct deposited into our bank accounts will be in there on October 4 (early bird) or October 19 (regular deposits). Others will have to start watching their mailboxes on November 14 to see if they'll get a little payday of their own.

Once again, $1,106.96 is the amount of the 2006 Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend. Let the spending plans begin. Good night.
