I'm not exactly sure what you're attributing to Palin. The base dividend comes from the Alaska Permanent Fund, established in 1976 under Gov Jay Hammond, and started paying dividends in 1982. The $1200 boost maybe comes from Palin? But if that's coming from the treasury, that doesn't seem like the greater part of the "Georgism-like" policy (that part actually feels like poor budgetary policy if it's funded from the state budget as opposed to getting the best dollar for fuel prices for the Permanent fund in the first place...)
