The new budget could build Alaska’s future, but questions remain about the state's crisis-ridden education system.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A Permanent Fund dividend of nearly $4,000 might be landing in the pockets of Alaskans next year, according to Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s budget announcement today in Juneau.
The governor presented an overview of funding plans for public safety, education, Alaska’s State Defense Force, the PFD, transportation, fisheries research, and more. The governor highlighted carbon sequestration as an exciting new venture for the state as well as several initiatives directed at family health, from daycare to postpartum support for new mothers.
State legislator Zack Fields suggests Alaskans should interrogate Dunleavy’s statement that the budget “fully funds” education.
