Not certain it's accurate to call those proposing POMV 25/75 "centrist legislators." The PFD issue divides between those seeking to protect the Top20% from bearing any of the costs of government (by pushing them all to middle and lower income Alaska families through deep PFD cuts), and those pushing for a more equitable distribution of the costs. Sen Stedman and those voting with him clearly are all the way over in the "protect the Top20% at all costs" camp.
"Centrist" in this context likely means instead those looking for a middle ground approach that combines some PFD cuts with some other revenues that aren't as regressive as PFD cuts, to form a more distributionally neutral mix.
