At best were just patching! Quiet ending, calm before the storm? By Tim Bradner © Copyright: The Alaska Legislative Digest and the Alaska Economic Report are copyright We’re about a week and a half away from the Legislature’s required 120-day adjournment, publications. Please call (907) 440-6068 for permissions. although there is a provision for a 10-day extension. While things could still get rocky it’s also possible this session may just end quietly, end with some of the big issues left to a special session or sessions. These could include efforts to override vetoes, fix legislation, crime bills, and constitutional amendments. The current ending may be the quiet before a big storm. Here’s where things stand: The House and Senate have both passed their FY 2020 operating - Continued on page 3 budgets, both rejecting the governor’s big cuts and both spending about the same in-state funds – $4.31 billion for the House and $4.28 billion for the Senate. Those compare with $3.59 billion proposed by the governor and $4.56 billion in the current FY 2019 operating budget. There are some differences between the House and Senate plans. The House cut local school debt assistance by 50 percent while the Senate kept it at 100 percent. Dunleavy proposes to completely cut it. The House retained the state ferry system at essentially current levels while the Senate cut the system, but left enough limited winter services. The governor proposes tying up the ferries, with no winter service. - Continued on next page Put something together and see what Dunleavy does? We expect the budget conference committee to quickly come to agreement, though we can’t predict how school debt support and ferry service will play out, nor the issue of the legality of forward funding of schools. Senate Finance Cochair Sen. Bert Stedman, R-Sitka, is a bit over a barrel on the ferry system because his Southeast district really needs some kind of winter service. Sen. Gary Stevens, R-Kodiak, is in the same boat, not only for Kodiak but also Cordova, a coastal community with no roads, and for service in the Aleutians. Stedman is trying to work something out with Dunleavy for his limited winter service, but we’ll see. - Continued on next page © Copyright: The Alaska Legislative Digest and the Alaska Economic Report are copyright publications. Please call (907) 440-6068 for permissions. 2 Driving up local taxes . - Continued from previous age As for school debt support, if there is any cut the cost simply passes to municipalities, who are legally obligated to pay for the bonds. It means local property taxes will go up, and that’s what municipalities are already telling their taxpayers. The governor promised no taxes, but apparently he meant just state taxes. In fact, his actions could also put some communities in very serious fiscal straits. We might add that school debt support is a covenant dating back to 1970 - that’s 48 years. A hole in governor’s fiscal plan Meanwhile it is clear that Dunleavy will not achieve major parts of his financial plan. His proposal to take $400 million-plus of petroleum property tax revenue from the North Slope Borough, Fairbanks North Star Borough, City of Valdez and Kenai Borough is simply a nonstarter. In committees holding the governor’s bills that do that – House Resources and Senate Community and Regional Affairs – the chairs have said they will not even hold a hearing on the proposal. The governor will also come up short of his proposed savings from Medicaid, at least for this year. The Department of Health and Social Services is hoping to trim $100 million through internal actions and the House and Senate have agreed. There’s skepticism on Mark Foster: How are out schools doing whether the savings can actually be made, so don’t be surprised if there if a Medicaid supplemental appropriation next year. The bigger savings on Medicaid will come if agreements for major program changes can be reached with the federal government. That’s possible – talks are now underway. They are unlikely to significantly affect the FY 2020 budget. Those changes could be controversial, which means litigation. Medicaid cuts can also have consequences in loss of providers Could governor impound education money? The governor’s big whack of K-12 funding won’t happen in FY 2020 either, mainly because the Legislature “forward-funded” the billion dollar-plus school foundation program last year. The governor could just try to refuse to expend the money, of course, Alaska Legislative Digest No. 35/18 but that would cause more litigation. Dunleavy alleges the forward funding is unconstitutional, but there are a lot of previous funding examples that suggest otherwise. Nevertheless, litigation could create a lot of chaos. - Continued on next page Page 2 Alaska Legislative Digest No. 2119 - Continued on next page 3 School litigation on impoundment - been there before! - Continued from previous page There is litigation underway already regarding the governor withholding the $20 million in one-time funding enacted for the current year. We can’t quite see the rationale of this action except as a pique on the governor’s part. There is legal precedent here. In 1987 oil prices crashed just after the beginning of the new budget year in July. Citing a budget emergency, which it was, Gov. Sheffield acted to impound a portion of K-12 school funds for that year. However, emergency doesn’t necessarily make something legal. The Fairbanks North Star Borough filed suit. This case twice reached the Alaska Supreme Court and in both instances the Court affirmed the Superior Court's decision holding that the governor’s action was an unconstitutional action. The Court concluded the statute from which the state alleged authority permitted the governor so much discretion as to amount to an unconstitutional delegation of legislative power to the executive branch. University of Alaska budget could be a veto target The University of Alaska budget is one place where the governor can wield his axe (through vetoes) without complications. The House and Senate made only minor reductions to the university while the governor proposed a huge cut. The problem is the University gets what is essentially a “single line item” appropriation. The governor doesn’t have to take responsibility for program cuts he made. The governor can cut the single appropriation and walk away and say: “your problem.” The downside here is that we are trashing our state university system with a national reputation in research. What about the PFD? So, how about the Permanent Fund dividend, or PFD? This is the contentious issue as the 2019 session winds down. A quick recap: The governor promised a $3,000 PFD in his campaign and feels compelled to deliver it. To get it, with the available revenues, spending must be cut $1.6 billion, one fourth of the state portion of the operating budget. However, many legislators have argued that a more modest PFD, like $1,200 to $1,600, would leave enough money to fund the budget. - Continued on next page Page 3 Alaska Legislative Digest No. 21/19 4 The Senate’s big surprise was the to $3,000 pfd - Continued from previous page In a big surprise, the Senate has opted for a $3,000 PFD, giving the governor a win, but also keeping the budget at higher levels. To accomplish this the draw from the Permanent Fund’s earnings reserve will have to be greater than the 5.25 percent. If the full budget is maintained, which it may not be, the draw would be increased to between 6.3 percent and 6.5 percent. This would not speak well for Alaska’s ability to manage its financial affairs. Last year we adopted Senate Bill 26, which set the Permanent Fund earnings draw at a cap of 5.25 percent, but hopefully dropping to 5 percent after 2021, to not overdraw and keep the Fund sustainable. That we’re exceeding this limit one year after enacting SB 26 just to pay a large PFD doesn’t make us look very good. How would vetoes be made? The governor may yet wield his line item budget veto budget axe. It’s not clear what he can veto to really gain much other than hitting funding from the university, ferry system, school debt reimbursement, all things he can do without statute changes. He could always Reed Stoops try to impound money regardless of existing statutes, but this would invite lawsuits. Stoops & Associates 350 North Franklin #2 There could also be “unallocated” reductions across agencies but that just leaves Juneau, Ak -99801 commissioners stuck with having to do the dirty work, plus there would be lawsuits. We (907) 463-3223 think the courts, if they become involved, may have a dubious view of the governor whacking a constitutional obligation like education just to pay a fat PFD. Kent Dawson Kent Dawson Company Strength of the Mat-Su Box 20790 What happened within the Senate Finance Committee with the $3,000 PFD showed the Juneau, Ak - 99801 strength of the Mat-Su Republican delegation, Sens. Mike Shower and David Wilson who (907) 351-2525 teamed up with three Democrats, Sens. Bill Wielechowski, Lyman Hoffman and Donny Olson, all in support of the larger dividend.

  • Support for CSHB 41
    To: Representative Dan Ortiz [email protected] RE: Support for CSHB 41 Dear Representative Ortiz, April 17, 2020 On behalf of the Alaska Mariculture Task Force (Task Force), I would like to express strong support for the Senate Finance Committee Substitute version of HB 41, which would accomplish several priority recommendations of the Task Force, as a part of a larger plan to fully develop the mariculture industry in Alaska, with a goal to grow a $100 million per year industry in 20 years. The Task Force members recognize the difficult circumstances that cut short legislative action on CSHB 41. However, it was still a great disappointment to be dead in the water although the bill was in its last committee of referral after efforts by industry, successive administrations and the Legislature for five years to pass this important enabling legislation. The Task Force believes that growth of the mariculture industry can play an important role in Alaska’s economic recovery from the COVID-19 disaster; however, passage of CSHB 41 is central to fully enabling that economic potential. If there is a chance for the Legislature to come back into session, please consider passage of this bill as a priority. In 2016, Governor Walker established and appointed members to the Task Force by Administrative Order No.280, with the directive to provide recommendations to develop a viable and sustainable mariculture industry. In 2018, the Task Force completed a statewide comprehensive plan in order to accelerate the development of mariculture - the Alaska Mariculture Development Plan (attached is a brief summary of the full Plan).

Senate leaders include experienced hands Sens. Peter Micciche, R-Kenai, as President; Bert Stedman, R-Sitka and Click Bishop, R-Fairbanks, as Finance Committee cochairs, and Gary Stevens, R-Kodiak, as Rules chair. Sen. Shelley Hughes, R-Mat-Su, is Majority Leader. Senate organizers threw the hard-right crowd a bone by giving Sen. Lora Reinbold, R-Eagle River, chair of the Judiciary Committee. There are seven Senate Democrats. As expected, Sen. Lyman Hoffman, D-Bethel, joined the Senate Majority, as he has in the past. Rural lawmakers representing large districts must be pragmatic and often set aside partisan affiliations to represent constituents. The Senate’s new leaders, all experienced, also know it is better to have the canny Hoffman inside the tent than outside. Fears of control by Mat-Su, governor averted There were fears initially that the Senate would wind up being controlled this year by hard conservative senators from the MatSu with Gov. Mike Dunleavy pulling strings behind the scenes. In that scenario, the key issue would have been the governor’s push for large Permanent Fund dividends, which most senators feel can’t be afforded.

  • Senate Majority Announces Team, Caucus Agreement
    For Immediate Release: November 26, 2018 Senate Majority Announces Team, Caucus Agreement ANCHORAGE – The Alaska Senate Majority today announced its complete team for the 31st Alaska Legislature, which begins Jan. 15. The majority also announced a caucus agreement reflecting Alaskans’ desire for more engagement in the state budget process, an expanded Senate Finance Committee and committee leaders. Sen. Lyman Hoffman (D-Bethel) joined the majority as the 14th member. “Senator Hoffman brings years of experience and is a strong advocate for rural Alaska,” said incoming Senate President Cathy Giessel (R-Anchorage). “I am pleased to welcome this esteemed member of the Alaska Senate to our ranks.” The majority identified passing a responsible budget, on-time, as the single most important task. To best accomplish this, the majority will increase the number of Finance Committee members and amend its caucus agreement related to budget votes. Expanding the Finance Committee by two members gives nearly 50 percent of Alaska’s senators hands-on roles in the budget process. The committee will include senators from every corner of the state and emphasize the Senate’s first priority: passing a responsible budget in a timely manner. The amended caucus agreement recognizes the rights and responsibilities of each majority member. Members will have more opportunity than ever to actively participate in budget deliberations, and therefore have more ownership of the majority budget. However, members who find themselves unable to vote for the majority budget will not face automatic removal from the caucus. Consequences for such a vote will be determined by the caucus and consider the importance of representing constituents.

  • City of Dillingham House District 37 / Senate District S
    City of Dillingham House District 37 / Senate District S ~ 11/24/2020 ~ 31st Alaska State Legislature ~ 2nd Interim NOVEMBER 2020 – LEGISLATIVE REPORT Cliff Stone / City Lobbyist ~ Alaska’s Division of Elections to Certify Results ~ <><><><> With all of the absentee ballots finally counted, the division should be able to certify the election results by November 25, 2020. The Alaska House and Senate have still not organized a majority for several reasons. Although House Republicans will have 21 members, there are members of that party who sit on a fringe that is uncomfortable for other members of that caucus. That’s putting it as diplomatically as I can express. Last year the R’s had 23 members and still could not organize with a “pure” bloc of their elected members. If I were betting on the horses, I would put my money on a coalition once again. Dillingham’s own Bryce Edgmon has headed up a majority coalition of Democrats, Independents, and Republicans the last four years. I’m not sure if it’s in the cards for him to be Speaker once again, but he will certainly have a leadership role if they indeed form a coalition. Although the Senate still has 13 Republicans this go around, there are philosophical differences within their ranks that center around the question of a full PFD, other budgetary issues, and binding caucuses. Those thirteen members have met at least once to discuss how to move forward with forming a majority. I believe there is a high likelihood of a coalition this year with some or all of the Senate Democrats joining such an alliance.

It will deal with issues left dangling when the state emergency declaration ended Feb. 14, including authorization to shift vaccine supply between communities; telehealth authorization without a physical exam; liability issues; authorization for $8 million a month in federal food stamp funds; and authorization for school districts to have larger car- ry-over fund balances (the current limit is 10 percent). Those authorizations, and more, disap- peared when the emergency declaration expired. What we didn’t hear in the briefing was re-imposition of mandatory airport virus testing, which also expired (it is now voluntary), and any reference to waivers from federal regulations that also expired, and which are a huge issue for health care providers. The declaration was a mechanism to get the federal waivers for providers and the food stamp program extension, but the lack of mandatory airport testing is already being linked to a serious infection outbreak in Petersburg. – Continued on page 8 A Lora Reinbold and Donna Arduin duo in Juneau?
