And if we need to set up more chairs, we can do that in back. But there's still some empty chairs, especially up front. My name is Steve Torok, Environmental Protection Agency, and I'm here in Juneau. I'd like to welcome you all. I think the agenda was at the front table. And if you haven't signed in, we really would appreciate everybody signing in. And also, if you have not indicated whether you want to testify or not, but if during the course of the proceedings you decide that you do want to, just give a hand signal or something and we'll get you on the list and give you an opportunity to testify. All right. We've got everybody back. Great. Okay. What we are going to start, Mayor Dennis Egan is here. And we've asked him to give some opening remarks. And then we will go through some introductions, some short presentations and then move fairly quickly into testimony. Mr. Mayor. MAYOR EGAN: Thanks, Steve. Actually, it was casual Friday, but I went home and put on a shirt and tie. Actually, I did have a shirt on. Never mind. I'm a short-timer so they can't do anything to me. Anyway, I want to welcome you to the second in a series of Regional Hearings that are being held throughout the nation.

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: .

  • 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.
