“We appreciate the Governor’s careful consideration of the budget,” said Speaker of the House Cathy Tilton . “The House Majority caucuses priorities aligned with the Governor’s office on the importance of education funding through a one-time $680 BSA increase as well as funding to transportation and major maintenance funding. Additionally, it is great to see funding remained for critical departments like Public Safety, Corrections, and Health.
Speaker Tilton added, “Energy remains an important issue for all Alaskans so it’s good to see that funding of $353 million for critical infrastructure and energy such as the Electrical Emergency program, upgrades to rural energy systems and electrical grid resilience and reliability systems was maintained.”
House Finance Co-Chair, Representative DeLena Johnson joined the conversation saying, “We worked closely with the administration throughout the budget process.
