20% to Energy Dividend
20% to Contingency Fund
10% to Municipalities
Maybe, perhaps, 20% of the surplus equals $300. Maybe, perhaps, there is no surplus and 20% of zero is still zero.
To not exercise your democratic right over a singly policy that should not be boiled down to "disgusting $300/person pledge" would be sad and unfortunate.

It amounts to one thing and one thing only; a party that claims to be fiscally conservative spending money they don't have yet. Its just a bad policy, plain and simple.
