The Capitol Report 1/22/19: Welcome to the 31st Alaska Legislature
by Michelle Saport |
The Capitol Report - Jan. 22, 2019
It's week two for the 31st Alaska Legislature. There's a level of excitement and enthusiasm that naturally accompanies the start of every session. But with the House still not organized and Governor Mike Dunleavy's spending proposal yet to be released, this year's start is notable for the uncertainty and anxiety in the air. How these two obstacles are resolved will largely shape the tenor and tone of the entire session.
