Alaska's Citizens Lock out Private Prisons
ALASKA’S CITIZENS LOCK OUT PRIVATE PRISONS PU BLI C OPI NION BLOCKS PRIVA TI ZA TION ATTEMPTS By LINDA CA SEY November 6, 2008 NATIO NA L IN STI TU TE O N MONEY I N STA TE PO LITI CS This publication was made possible with support from: Carnegie Corporation of New York, Strengthening U.S. Democracy Ford Foundation, Governance Performance and Accountability The Pew Charitable Trusts, State Policy Initiatives Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Program on Democratic Practice 833 NORTH LAST CHANCE GULCH, SECOND FLOOR • HELENA, MT • 59601 PHONE 406-449-2480 • FAX 406-457-2091 • E-MAIL [email protected] www.followthemoney.org OVERVIEW Since the mid-1990s — through six legislative sessions and three gubernatorial administrations — Alaska’s lawmakers have made more than a half dozen attempts to privatize prisons. These attempts have met with unfavorable public opinion. To date, the strength of public opposition has prevailed, and all private prison proposals have been defeated. But the state needs prison beds, and a lack of them means that state prisoners are being sent to other states.1 In 2004, the issue was addressed with the passage of Senate Bill 65, which authorized construction of a 1,500-bed prison in Matanuska-Susitna Borough. But it is not a private prison. Construction began in August 2008, but none of the design or construction of the facility is being performed by the private-prison interests that have been involved in the push for privatization of prisons since the early 1990s. Instead the facility’s construction will be controlled by the Mat-Su Borough and operated by the state of Alaska.2 BACKGROUND Starting in the 1990s, five donors formed a variety of partnerships in an effort to promote the private prison idea in Alaska: . -

Ring of Fire Proposed RMP and Final
CHAPTER 5: CONSULTATION AND COORDINATION Ring of Fire Proposed RMP/Final EIS 5.0 CONSULTATION AND COORDINATION 5.1 Introduction This chapter describes the public participation opportunities made available through the development of the Ring of Fire Proposed Resource Management Plan (PRMP)/Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), the formal consultation with federal agencies and federally recognized tribal governments that has occurred to date, and collaborative efforts conducted with the State of Alaska and the Alaska Resource Advisory Council (RAC). It also lists agencies and organizations that will receive copies of the PRMP/FEIS for review, and lists preparers of the document. There have been, and will continue to be, many ways for the public to participate in the planning process for public lands under the jurisdiction of the Anchorage Field Office (AFO). An interdisciplinary team of specialists from URS Corporation (third-party contractor), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Anchorage Field Office (AFO), and the BLM Alaska State Office prepared the Ring of Fire PRMP/FEIS. The State of Alaska has also participated in the development of the document. Both the AFO and State office staff have provided technical review and support. Members of the PRMP/FEIS team have consulted formally or informally with numerous agencies, groups, and individuals during the PRMP/FEIS development process. Consultation, coordination, and public involvement have occurred through scoping meetings; public review of the Draft RMP/EIS; meetings and briefings with federal, State, and Tribal government representatives; and informational meetings with interested individuals and organizations. 5.2 Public Participation Opportunities There are several steps throughout the planning process that provide the public with opportunities to participate. -

Report to Congress on the Activities and Operations Of
REPORT TO CONGRESS ON THE ACTIVITIES AND OPERATIONS OF THE PUBLIC INTEGRITY SECTION FOR 2009 Public Integrity Section Criminal Division United States Department of Justice Submitted Pursuant to Section 603 of the Ethics in Government Act of 1978 INTRODUCTION This Report to Congress is submitted pursuant to the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, which requires the Attorney General to report annually to Congress on the operations and activities of the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section. The Report describes the activities of the Public Integrity Section during 2009. It also provides statistics on the nationwide federal effort against public corruption during 2009 and over the previous two decades. The Public Integrity Section was created in 1976 in order to consolidate the Department’s oversight responsibilities for the prosecution of criminal abuses of the public trust by government officials into one unit of the Criminal Division. Section attorneys prosecute selected cases involving federal, state, or local officials, and also provide advice and assistance to prosecutors and agents in the field regarding the handling of public corruption cases. In addition, the Section serves as the Justice Department’s center for handling various issues that arise regarding public corruption statutes and cases. An Election Crimes Branch was created within the Section in 1980 to supervise the Department’s nationwide response to election crimes, such as voter fraud and campaign- financing offenses. The Branch reviews all major election crime investigations throughout the country and all proposed criminal charges relating to election crime. During the year, the Section maintained a staff of approximately twenty-nine attorneys, including experts in extortion, bribery, election crimes, and criminal conflicts of interest. -

Alaska's Oil Production Tax: a Brief History
Alaska’s Oil Production Tax: A Brief History By Lisa Weissler Abstract: For decades, Alaska’s politicians and the oil industry have sparred over the state’s tax on its oil resources. This paper examines newspaper accounts, legislative history, and Alaska history books to construct a narrative of the people and politics involved in the state’s long and contentious oil tax debate – a debate that continues in the halls of Alaska’s capitol today. The history of oil in Alaska is the latest chapter in the saga of natural resource exploitation that began long before the United States purchased Alaska from Russia. First came the Russian fur traders who decimated wildlife populations, oppressed Alaska Natives, and left little of lasting value. After the 1867 purchase of the territory by the U.S., individuals and corporations mined, harvested, fished, and trapped without being burdened by much in the way of taxation. The result was a territory rich in resources yet still lacking the funds for its own economic development. Upon assuming his appointment as Alaska’s territorial governor in 1939, Ernest Gruening found Alaska to be a land of both promise and problems. The promise lay in the people, the land and the territory’s abundant natural resources. Among the territory’s problems was its lack of taxation that would capture economic benefit from resource extraction. Gruening made it his mission to establish a tax system that would provide revenue for the improvement and welfare of the territory. For the next nine years, outside interests, primarily salmon canning and mining companies, exerted enough influence on territorial legislators to succeed in defeating every major tax measure that Gruening put forward.
