Please support Bob Lynn's bill to get Alaskan wrongfully convicted criminals money back
In Alaska if you are incarcerated within the calendar of the Permanent Fund Dividend you are ineligible to receive therefore the state must deny your request. Rep Bob Lynn's bill changes that. Normally I do not advocate spending taxpayers money for people. If you are unjustly convicted and the court overturns your conviction then the State of Alaska should pay the amount of the permanent fund dividends you would had received for those years. If this bill is retroactive and applies to the Fairbanks Four each one could start with an additional extra $20K to 30K from the state to restart their life. Yes each would get the $3200 dividend in 2008 that was given in September of 2008. Please contact your legislature and support Bob Lynn's bill of HB 243. It is the right thing to do.
