State offering some Alaskans a subsidy (6)
I believe the answer is:
kansas
'state' is the definition.
(Kansas is an example)
'some alaskans a subsidy' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'KANSAS' can be found hidden inside 'alaskans a subsidy'.
'offering' is the link.
(Other definitions for kansas that I've seen before include "US state, capital Topeka" , "''Toto, I've a feeling we're not in ... anymore'' (Dorothy in Wizard of Oz)" , "American state, capital Topeka" , "State of central USA" , "Corny state?" .)
