Alaska, as part of their statehood, garners a sweet deal of 90% to 10% split with the feds on federally leased minerals, while WY, like all the other lower 48 states, has typically gotten a 50/50 split (and slightly less than that the past year). I'd be interested to have heard what the revenue stream to Alaska is compared to Wyoming over these same years, less their per capita payments to citizens. Surely their revenue stream has driven the size of the endowment far more than their investment strategy. Also glad to hear Mr. Pederson is now a Senator! Good for him.
