ALASKA I ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTOR 99501 (907) 2.14-0611 I A MESSAGE FROM THE Aa./INISTRATIVE DIRECTOR The fiscal problems of the State of Alasl<a continue to impact the Alaska Court System. During th is I as t yea r, we have I attempted to address particular fiscal challenges within the confines of a maintenance-level budget. Compromisp.s were neces­ sary, and some areas (such as judicial and magistrate training) I were radically curtai led in our efforts to cut costs. During this last fiscal year, we have seen a leveling trend in caseloads in many areas. This trend is too neVl to analyze meaningfully at this point in time, but it may reflect the population decrease many parts of the state are experiencing, or it may be a product of reduction of law enforcement services in many areas. We continue to work towards the construction of an expanded court facility in Anchorage. Construction should begin in the I summer of 1988. This expanded faci I ity should accommodate the reasonable growth needs of the judiciary, and wi II also allow for the housing of a number of justice-related agencies within one I complex. This consol idation wi I I al low related agencies to interact wi th one another more efficiently, and wi II el iminate I expenditures by several agencies for rental space. Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Chief Justice Rabinowitz for his guidance and support over the last three years. On October 1, 1987, Chief Justice Rabinowitz' I term expired, and Justice Warren Matthews was elected to serve as the new chief Justice. During his most recent term as chief justice, Justice Rabinowitz continued to demonstrate an I unflagging commitment to the improvement of justice systems in Alaska. I Sincerely, I ~.ilsnOWden.

  • Subsistence Hunting and Fishing in Alaska: Does Anilca’S Rural Subsistence Priority Really Conflict with the Alaska Constitution?
    MCGEE_CPCXNS.DOC 12/9/2010 3:38:15 PM SUBSISTENCE HUNTING AND FISHING IN ALASKA: DOES ANILCA’S RURAL SUBSISTENCE PRIORITY REALLY CONFLICT WITH THE ALASKA CONSTITUTION? JACK B. MCGEE* ABSTRACT All parties to the subsistence controversy in Alaska (the state and the federal government, sportsmen’s associations, outdoor organizations, and Native groups) have assumed that the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) grants residents of rural Alaska an exclusive right to engage in subsistence hunting and fishing on public lands. As a result, there appears to be an intractable contradiction between the “equal access” provisions of the Alaska Constitution and the subsistence provisions of ANILCA. This Article will question this widespread assumption. It will argue that while it is true that ANILCA creates a subsistence priority preference for rural Alaskans in the sense that at those times when fish or wildlife populations are threatened, rural Alaskans will be the very last group to have their right to subsistence hunting or fishing limited (i.e., ANILCA’s rural preference), the text of ANILCA does not support the claim that it creates a right to subsistence hunting and fishing on public lands that belongs exclusively to residents of rural Alaska. Consequently, there is no intractable contradiction between the Alaska Constitution and ANILCA. INTRODUCTION One of the most divisive and intractable political issues in Alaska is subsistence hunting and fishing. Although the Alaska National Interest Copyright © 2010 Jack B.
