  • Political Transitions in Alaska and the FY 2010 Budget

    Political Transitions in Alaska and the FY 2010 Budget

    Political Transitions in Alaska and the FY 2010 Budget Jerry McBeath University of Alaska Fairbanks INTRODUCTION This report discusses the factors behind the Alaska FY 2010 budget. It treats the Alaska economy in 2008 and 2009, demographic changes, and important movements in state politics, with a special focus on the national rise of one Alaska political leader—Governor Sarah Palin— and the fall of another, Senator Ted Stevens. The 2008 elections brought slight changes in the composition of the state legislature and a large change in the state’s congressional delegation. The report continues a focus on issues affecting Alaska’s future revenue stream—the natural gas pipeline—and its reputation, the state’s predator control policy. The next section of the report introduces the governor’s operating, supplemental, and capital budget requests, their revision and adoption by the legislature. Legislators paid less attention to the expenditure than the revenue side of budgets, and in the short 90-day session wrangled with the governor over federal stimulus funding, and whether it had “strings.” The final section analyzes state revenues and spending planned for FY 2010. THE ALASKA ECONOMY IN 2008 AND 2009 From the start of the state’s fiscal year on July 1, 2008 (FY 09) to the end of the fiscal year, the Alaska economy experienced extreme volatility in oil prices, but because of surplus revenues saved in previous years, Alaska was in better economic shape than most other states. Because the state is primarily dependent on royalties and taxes collected from oil/gas production, we focus on changes in oil prices before considering other resource sectors.

    SENATE JOURNAL ALASKA STATE LEGISLATURE TWENTY-SEVENTH LEGISLATURE SECOND SESSION Juneau, Alaska Friday January 20, 2012 Fourth Day Pursuant to adjournment the Senate was called to order by President Stevens at 11:01 a.m. The roll showed twenty members present. The prayer was offered by the Chaplain, The Reverend George Silides of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church. Senator Hoffman moved and asked unanimous consent that the prayer be spread. Without objection, it was so ordered. With deepest respect for the religious traditions of all Alaskans, I offer this prayer: O God the Creator of the heavens above and the earth beneath, we commend to your Fatherly care all the peoples of this earth, our neighbors near and far; and especially the people of this state and nation. Into this body you have called the people of many tongues and traditions. Some whose cultures are rooted in a relation to this land millennia old, and some who have made this their adopted home. Unite them, we pray in a common vision of the future of this Great Land, where upon every house the same blessings rest, the same opportunities abound, and the same responsibility is shared. Protect with thy heavenly grace all those who serve in the armed forces of our country and keep us ever striving for creative and honorable solutions which 1255 SENATE JOURNAL 1256 January 20, 2012 limit the need for their sacrifice. We give thanks again for the valor and dedication of the men and women who sail the Healy and the Renda; and pray their safety as they make their way home.

    The Arctic Circle Is an Independent Nonprofit Organization Founded By

    The Arctic Circle is an independent nonprofit organization founded by President Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson of Iceland, former Greenland Prime Minister Kuupik Kleist, Alaska Dispatch and Arctic Imperative Summit founder Alice Rogoff and other prominent leaders on Arctic issues. The organization’s mission is to facilitate dialogue and build relationships to responsibly address rapid changes in the Arctic. Given the complexity of the issues involving the region and their global impact, the Arctic Circle provides a nonpartisan platform to convene a broad group of stakeholders for knowledge-sharing and cooperation. With sea ice levels at their lowest point in recorded history, the world’s G-20 political leaders, investors, business executives and the media are now recognizing the importance of the region and the challenges and opportunities this presents for all nations, for people around the world. ANNUAL ASSEMBLY In the fall of 2013, the Arctic Circle established itself as the preeminent international gathering of its kind. Held in Reykjavík, Iceland, at the Harpa Reykjavík Concert Hall and Conference Centre, the Arctic Circle Assembly brought together more than 1,200 international decision-makers from more than 40 nations, including Russia, the United States and other Arctic nations as well as Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Singapore and the United Kingdom. The event allowed existing institutions to reach a diverse global audience in a new and efficient way. Topics of focus included the latest scientific data on climate change and strategies to mitigate its effects, the prospects and challenges of Arctic energy development, how the Northern Sea Route will change global shipping, investment opportunities in the Arctic, and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

    Annual Report 2015

    ANNUAL REPORT TO THE ALASKA STATE LEGISLATURE ALASKA CRIMINAL JUSTICE COMMISSION February 1, 2016 Overview The State Legislature created the Alaska Criminal Justice Commission as one of several “Smart Justice” measures enacted under SB64. The Commission was given a three-year term to review criminal law sentences and practices and to make recommendations for cost-effective reforms to lower prison populations and reduce recidivism. Commission members - - representing Alaska Natives, crime victims, the mentally ill and the three branches of government -- have now forwarded a total of thirty-two recommendations to leaders in state government. The most recent recommendations sent to the Legislature on December 10, 2015,were developed through the Justice Reinvestment Initiative (JRI). This annual report summarizes past recommendations, data collection and research conducted under Commission direction, and future priorities. Gregory P.

  • The North American Arctic: Themes in Regional Security

    The North American Arctic: Themes in Regional Security

    Edited by The North American Arctic addresses the emergence of a new security relationship within the Dwayne Ryan Menezes North American North. It focuses on current and emerging security issues that confront the North American Arctic and that shape relationships between and with neighbouring states (Alaska in Heather N. Nicol the US; Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut in Canada; Greenland and Russia). Identifying the degree to which ‘domain awareness’ has redefined the traditional military focus, while a new human rights discourse undercuts traditional ways of managing sovereignty and territory, the volume’s contributors question normative security arrangements. Although security itself is not an obsolete concept, our understanding of what constitutes real human-centred security has become outdated. The contributors argue that there are new regionally specific threats originating from a wide range of events and possibilities, and very different subjectivities that can be brought to understand the shape of Arctic security and security relationships in the twenty-first century. The North American Arctic provides a framework or lens through which many new developments are assessed in order to understand their impact on a changing circumpolar region at different scales – from the level of community to the broader national and regional scale. Dwayne Ryan Menezes is Founder and Managing Director of Polar Research and Policy Initiative (PRPI) and Honorary Fellow at the UCL Institute of Risk and Disaster Reduction. Heather N.Heather Nicol Menezes Dwayne Ryan by Edited Heather N. Nicol is Professor in the School of the Environment and Acting Director of the School for the Study of Canada at Trent University (Canada).

In early 2018, I launched my news & political commentary and research Vlog (also referred to as a “Video-Log,” or “Vlog”) to social media video platforms after MANY years of thinking about doing so. My purpose was that I had a LOT of information that I needed to get out to whomever would listen. I needed to have a paper trail of why I was saying what I was saying. And the most important thing for myself was to stay centered on the task at hand... The Following is an ongoing story... On July 2, 2020 at her luxurious, remote 156-acre compound in Bradford, New Hampshire, The FBI broke through Ghislaine Maxwell’s locked gate. Agents then began identifying themselves as they approached her dwelling, at which time they could see Ghislaine looking at them through a window, which is when they asked her to open the door.
