State Government

Committee leaders say they’ve created a ‘buffer’ against a huge expected deficit in 2026.

President Donald Trump’s return has raised hopes for the 800-mile Alaska LNG pipeline project. But will the project make it over the finish line?

The bill would create and fund a pilot program for five tribally-run public schools in the state, but it still has a long way to go before becoming law.

If the committee figure becomes final, it would be the smallest dividend in state history, when adjusted for inflation.

Some district superintendents expressed surprise and concern at the letter and repeat veto threat, and called for state support for Alaska schools.

Dunleavy hasn’t said whether he’ll sign the bill, but with broad support in the House and Senate, lawmakers may be able to overcome a veto.
