well I'm a little behind on the stats there, things are looking up, 08 ought to be good if the price of oil is a factor. Might even get some of those Indians camping out around Frontier Square in Seattle to move back for their checks.

It should be a good year. It is a 5 year average on earnings.

But most of the earning now are from income of the fund, now over $38 billion. Oil income through the state was only 10% of the 2007 earning. The program has been set up to keep growing without being so dependent on the oil revenues.
