  • MUR# 563 7 Iv Dear Mr
    a. 0 September 11,2004 Lawrence Norton, Esq. General Counsel Federal Election Commission 999 E Street, NW, 6th Floor Washington, D.C. 20463 Re: Voice of the Times MUR# 563 7 Iv Dear Mr. Norton: 0 This complaint asserts that Bill Allen, VECO Corporation, and the "Voice of tjR Times" feature of the Anchorage Daily News have violated the Federal Electia Campaign Act (the "Act"), 2 U.S.C. 55 43 1 et seq. (2004) and related regulatims of the Commission, 11 C.F.R. $9 100.1 et seq. (2004). The facts indicate that Bill Allen and/or VECO Corporation are making illegal expenditures on behalf of Lisa Murkowski for U.S. Senate, through the "Voice of the Times" daily advertisements. These contributions are either a corporate contribution, barred by 2 U.S.C. 8 441b(a), or an independent expenditure required to be reported by 2 U.S.C. 8 434(c). FACTS Until 1992, there were two newspapers serving Anchorage, Alaska: the Anchorage Daily News and the Anchorage Times. In 1992, the Anchorage Times ceased publishing as a separate newspaper. As part of a business arrangement, the Daily News agreed to publish the "Voice of the Times" on the op-ed page every day as "an alternative editorial voice." Bill J. Allen, Chairman and CEO of VECO Corporation, is the publisher of the Voice of the Times. 'See How these Pages Work, ANCHORAGE DAILYNEWS, Jan. 5,2004, at B4 (Attachment A). The Voice of the Times has consistently advocated the election of Lisa Murkowski to the United States Senate, and it has consistently advocated the defeat of Senate candidate Tony Knowles.

  • Alaska's 2015 Budget Process
    Uncharted Waters: Alaska’s 2015 Budget Process Glenn Wright University of Alaska Southeast Jerry McBeath University of Alaska Fairbanks Introduction Fiscal year 2015 was an eventful one in Alaska contrary to expectations during the 2014 leg- islative session. In 2014, Republican Governor Sean Parnell proposed a conservative budget with few major changes from the previous year, and the legislature passed the governor’s budget with only minor alterations. One possible major change did not materialize when, in an August refer- endum, voters failed to repeal the More Alaska Production Act (MAPA)—a reform of Alaska’s oil tax laws passed by the state legislature in April 2013 that increased the marginal rate at which petroleum firms are taxed when oil prices are low and decreased marginal rates when prices are high. In late August, Alaska’s bland gubernatorial race was shaken up by the emergence of a “uni- ty ticket” in which two opponents to Republican Sean Parnell—Independent Bill Walker and Democrat Byron Mallott—joined forces and the Walker/Mallott ticket ultimately defeated Par- nell in the general election. Also in August, global prices for oil began a rapid decline with prices for Alaska North Slope Crude dropping about 50 percent by late December 2014. As revenues from oil make up more than 90 percent of the state government budget, this drop has substantial fiscal implications for Alaska. Going forward, the Walker Administration will likely propose significant cuts to operating budgets and eliminate funding for several large infrastructure pro- jects in 2015. This paper describes the process leading to the Alaska FY 2015 budget and important chang- es since the adoption of the 2015 budget in spring 2014.

  • An Important Point on the Governor Race
    An Important Point on the Governor Race The governor race in Alaska has taken an interesting turn with Independent Republican Bill Walker jumping out of his party and platform to team with Byron Mallott, the Democrat’s candidate aligned with Begich and Obama. If this alliance wins, then it will have a major impact on the ongoing gasline projects. Some say that this race is now reminiscent of the Palin or Hickel races, but there are major differences. Sarah Palin ran against proven corruption in the legislature and won with the conservative populist vote, never abandoning party or principles. Hickel ran a conservative campaign against a liberal Republican opponent. Walker is running a liberal populist campaign based on an appeal to perceived evils in our successful oil and gas industry. He often talks of state taking back control of paid-for leases, and taking ownership of gas pipeline and liquefaction facilities as other countries have done. He’s running against an incumbent governor whose optimism and focus on increasing oil production and a gasline have created an economic boom with jobs increasing every year. We currently have a gasline deal moving forward with buy-in from the producers and approval of the legislature. From an energy perspective, the most important issue that the next governor will address is a gasline project. Bill Walker has for many years been a driving force behind the Alaska Gasline Port Authority (AGPA), established in 1999 by the Fairbanks North Star Borough, the North Slope Borough and the City of Valdez. It was created to support a gasline effort to Valdez, the one that the voters statewide also chose to support in 2002.

  • Eye on the Caribou
    3 Oil politics Man standing next to the trans-Alaska pipeline. 44 EYE ON THE CARIBOU There’s an old political cliché that most folks associate with the Watergate scandal: “Follow the money.” In Alaska, the statement should be amended to, “Follow the oil.” When the oil began to flow through the recently completed trans-Alaska pipeline on June 20, 1977, that’s exactly what Alaskans did. Oil was the new crowned king and has pretty much remained the dominant element in Alaska’s political and business life ever since. Over the last 50 years oil has driven Alaskan politics more than any other industry in the state’s history. Through taxes and fees levied by the state, it has contributed billions to the Alaskan economy and billions to the Alaska State Treasury. There also is the Permanent Fund (more on this later), a product of, and a tribute to, the genius of Governor Jay Hammond, who spearheaded an effort that placed on the Alaska ballot a requirement for a certain amount of the oil revenue to be sequestered away into a savings fund. From the interest off that fund there would be an annual distribution to legal residents of Alaska based on the number of years they had lived there. The principal was to remain forever sacrosanct. It was overwhelmingly endorsed by the people of Alaska and over the years has placed billions into the pockets of Alaskans. One has to wonder just where the state would be today if the liquid gold had not been discovered. When ARCO hit the jackpot by drilling a producing well, it set off the kind of frenzy that hadn’t been seen in Alaska since the early gold rush days.

    november/DECEMBER 2014 PaGE 1 Dear AFN Co-Chairs, Board CONTENTS Members & Membership, Resolutions Follow-Up Happy holidays from everyone here at the AFN office! NATIVE VOTE 3 DOI Briefing 4 As this year draws to a close, we find ourselves facing many challenges and preparing to make the most of many new opportunities. The last quarter of CONVENTION 2014 was dominated by a focus on Election Day. Many important issues were broached at this year’s annual gathering (see the full resolutions packet at the co-chairs 8 end of this report), but the election loomed large in all of our discussions and resolutions 8 decisions at the end of October. We debated our positions openly and Convention feedback 8 thoroughly. Once again, we demonstrated the power and authenticity of our democratic decision-making process. And, in the end, we chose to endorse awards 9 excellent candidates for office among a field of worthy contenders. Sponsors 11 CELEBRATE Subsistence 12 Equally important, we showed up on November 4th. Our ongoing efforts to engage our communities in the political process made last month’s race extremely close. Our participation left no doubt that our people must have a seat at the table, our needs must always be considered in any statewide decisions and as our representatives contribute at the national level. AFN thanks the organizers of the Native Get-Out-The-Vote effort and the regional organizers who gave so much of their time and creative ideas to turn out the vote. Without their dedication, it would not have been successful.
