This was similar to the ISER statistics on ways to maintain a balanced budget. Cutting state salaries had a major impact in job losses-not just from state employees, but the value of their incomes in Alaska and being spent in Alaska! iseralaska.org/iser/economy...

I think that the bill is dead unless the 34th Legislature were to come back for any reason before the 35th Legislature is seated. But we should definitely make it a priority again!

Reading the Governor Jay Hammond book about Alaska as a free state w/ownership of bountiful resources. Senate will vote on report of 3 Rs, 2 Is and one D House/Senate committee members. IMO the bill got worse for Alaskans. I will hear more about the bill today before a final up/down vote. #akleg

What about indigenous Alaskans and native Hawaiians who also were impacted deeply by VRA. Alaska is also one of the highest profile US Senate races in state history with an open Governor seat, a new congressman, two bipartisan led legislative chambers and ranked choice voting! 🗳

The Senate Resources Committee has heard about tax breaks for the AKLNG at more than 20 meetings. The House Resources Committee chaired by Representative Maxine Dibert has had a similar number of meetings. Fairbanks may benefit greatly-but only if a 45-mile line is also part of the project! #akleg

I think that's probably true. When you look at the Alaska budget and our entire economy, so much of it is based on the Investments that the federal government makes here-even if they never work out in the end and are wasteful federal public funds.
