Hard to believe, but it’s that time again! We are now back in Juneau for the start of the 2018 Regular Session, which officially began this week. As we kick off this session, I want to remind you of some great ways to stay up-to-date and keep in touch.
This week, legislators are back in Juneau for the regular session. We’ll be working on a variety of important issues, and the state’s budget remains our highest priority. With many challenges facing our state, we need a responsible action plan for Alaska.
I hope you enjoyed a safe holiday season and a great start to the new year! With the Second Regular Session beginning on January 16, I’m hopeful the House and Senate can come together to create a complete fiscal plan for Alaska that protects PFDs and protects important public services.
With the 2018 session just around the corner, I’d like to make sure we have a chance to connect before I head back down to Juneau. Next Thursday, please join me for a discussion with state and local business leaders regarding Alaska’s economic outlook, as well as a chance to discuss your priorities for the year, face-to-face.
I hope that you are well and happy this holiday season. My wife Kelly and I wish you health and happiness during this season and in the coming year.
Happy Holidays! May celebration of the holidays and the coming New Year bring you and your loved ones joy and good health.
Happy Holidays! Before the New Year I want to share with you my vision for this upcoming legislative session. The Governor released his FY 2019 budget proposal on Friday, December 15. We are beginning to analyze it to see how it fits with our goals, especially education funding.
I hope this holiday season finds you well. I am looking forward to spending quality and peaceful time with family and friends in the coming weeks, while appreciating just how lucky we are to live in the greatest state in the greatest nation on earth.
