20. It is a bribe to AK residents to not vote to use the money in the PF.

In order to use the money that AK socked away for when the oil runs out, the voters have to vote the ok. By giving them a dividend off the interest earned, they ensure that people won't do that as most would rather have that money/dividend than use the larger money for whatever.
