Babcock to Assume Role of Senior Policy Advisor for Strategic Affairs, Stevens Named Chief of Staff Wednesday, July 31, 2019 (Anchorage, AK) – Alaska Governor Michael J. Dunleavy today announced changes to his senior staff: Tuckerman Babcock will assume the role of Senior Policy Advisor for Strategic Affairs and Ben Stevens will become the Governor’s new Chief of Staff. Tuckerman Babcock, Governor Dunleavy and Ben Stevens pictured today in Anchorage (click here to download or click here for a photo of Ben Stevens) “It’s been a privilege to have Tuckerman Babcock serve as my Chief of Staff, and I’m grateful for his continued service and commitment to the State of Alaska,” said Governor Dunleavy. “I’m confident that both Ben and Tuckerman’s leadership will continue to help us carry out this administration’s goals and agenda.” Babcock, who has served as Chief of Staff since the Dunleavy administration took office in December, says he looks forward to serving in his new role. “I’m excited to serve as Senior Policy Advisor for Strategic Affairs,” said Tuckerman Babcock. “This is a move I requested of the Governor; which allows me to concentrate on the areas I can best serve the Governor’s agenda. This will be a smooth internal transition. I have enjoyed working with Ben these past eight months and know he is more than qualified to serve as Chief of Staff to Governor Dunleavy.” Ben Stevens has had a strong career in Alaska politics. Stevens was appointed by Governor Tony Knowles to the Alaska State Senate in August 2001. Stevens went on to serve as Alaska Senate Majority Leader and later Senate President. “I’m honored that the Governor would ask me to serve as his Chief of Staff.” said Stevens. “I appreciate the leadership Tuckerman has shown since the transition and I look forward to continue working with him as we move the Governor’s agenda forward.” 2 Page 4 of 95 AGENDA ITEM # •. Staff changes were announced today during a meeting of the Governor’s Cabinet and staff. A staff transition will begin immediately and take place over the next week. ### __________________________________ List Name: gov‐[email protected] You subscribed as: [email protected] Unsubscribe at: http://list.state.ak.us/mailman/options/gov‐pressreleases/mshickey%40gci.net 3 Page 5 of 95 AGENDA ITEM # •. Lina Cruz From: Tara Welinsky Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2019 12:06 PM To: Lina Cruz Subject: FW: Legislative Update - 7/30/19 Please EM. From: Mark Hickey <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2019 11:23 AM To: Legislative Report <[email protected]> Subject: Legislative Update ‐ 7/30/19 Folks, The legislature took final action yesterday on two bills. Capital Budget/Reverse Sweep SB 2002 provides funding for all capital projects initially approved during the regular session. This includes state matching funds for the federal highway and aviation program. The reverse sweep was approved which reinstates funding for PCE, performance scholarships and other items I listed in my email sent yesterday. Governor Dunleavy indicated he supports the action to approve the reverse sweep which means no risk of a veto of this action. Operating Budget/Permanent Fund Dividend HB 2001 puts back funding for most of the items vetoed from the budget approved in regular session. The following highlights major items: Restores the 50% for school debt reimbursement and $17 million for REAA capital vetoed by the governor. It restores all but $20 million for the University. It restores $30 million to replenish the community assistance fund needed in FY 21 and beyond. It restores the state debt payment for special port and harbor projects approved in the mid 2000’s. It restores forward funding of K-12 education for FY 21 and all special DEED programs such as Head Start, Pre-K, OWL, etc. It restores funding for senior benefits, public assistance, Medicaid such as adult dental, public broadcasting and VSPOs. It provides $5 million in new money to offset problems with the AMHS winter schedule. 1 Page 6 of 95 AGENDA ITEM # •. It restores money to AFDG for fish survey work and related travel. The bill also provides funding for a 2019 PFD in the amount of $1,600 per person. Initial reaction by the governor indicates unhappiness with the dividend amount and the addition of money previously vetoed. While he suggested a willingness “to consider a limited number of additions to the budget”, he went on to say “we consider the vast majority of the FY 20 budget final. The legislature remains in session although it’s not clear what other actions they intend to consider. Let me know if there are questions.

From: Mark Hickey <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, July 29, 2019 12:04 PM To: Legislative Report <[email protected]> Subject: GOOD NEWS FROM JUNEAU ‐ REVERSE SWEEP APPROVED BY HOUSE Folks, The House approved the so-called “reverse sweep” and funding for the capital budget. The key vote was 31 to 7 - they needed 30. This means the following: 1. PCE program is protected and funded for FY 2020. The bill is retroactive to July 1, 2019. 2. State match for federal highway and aviation projects is funded. 3. Performance scholarships for UA are funded. 4. Tobacco Control fund is protected and has funding to support FY 20 budget. 5. AMHS Vessel Overhaul funding is approved. 6. AMHS System and Vessel Replacement Funds have their funds back. Should help FY 2020 service if the strike ends soon. Let me know if you have questions.

    House Passes Supplemental Budget, After Serious Disruption One Lawmaker Held up Business for Over an Hour

    News Sports Neighbors Capital City Weekly Alaska Outdoors Opinion Letters Obituaries House speaker Bryce Edgmon, I-Dillingham, left, speaks with Rep. David Eastman, R-Wasilla, during the House floor session on Wednesday, Feb. 26. 2020. (Peter Segall | Juneau Empire) House passes supplemental budget, after serious disruption One lawmaker held up business for over an hour By Peter Segall Wednesday, February 26, 2020 5:36pm ❙ NEWS STATE & LEGISLATURE The Alaska House of Representatives nearly unanimously passed the supplemental budget introduced by Gov. Mike Dunleavy earlier this month. Members of the House added no amendments to the governor’s budget, and representatives from both parties commended the governor in his choice of appropriations. / But Wednesday oor session was signicantly disrupted by Rep. David Eastman, R-Wasilla, who was nearly ejected from the chamber. Eastman’s rst disruption came when he introduced an amendment that would have removed $5,000 meant to go to a court settlement with Planned Parenthood. Eastman objected on the ground the money was meant to go to an organization that provided abortions, but many of his colleagues noted the state had lost a case in court and was simply following the law. “This has absolutely nothing to do with where you fall on this issue,” said Rep. Lance Pruitt, R-Anchorage. “Just because we are the state and we do not like it, doesn’t not mean we cannot pay it.” House Speaker Bryce Edgmon, I-Dillingham, admonished Eastman several times for veering o topic as Eastman began to discuss abortion rather than the specic appropriations within the bill.

    Letter from Anchorage Assembly Members Urging the Alaska Legislature to Change State Law to Allow Judges to Consider Out-Of-State Convictions in Setting Bail

    DRAFT LETTER FROM ANCHORAGE ASSEMBLY MEMBERS URGING THE ALASKA LEGISLATURE TO CHANGE STATE LAW TO ALLOW JUDGES TO CONSIDER OUT-OF-STATE CONVICTIONS IN SETTING BAIL March 14, 2018 HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE Rep. Matt Claman, Chair Sen. John Coghill, Chair Rep. Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins, Vice-Chair Sen. Mia Costello Rep. Gabrielle LeDoux Sen. Pete Kelly Rep. David Eastman Sen. Bill Wielechowski Rep. Chuck Kopp Sen. Click Bishop Rep. Lora Reinbold Rep. Charisse Millett Rep. Louise Stutes Rep. Tiffany Zulkosky Dear Chair Claman, Chair Coghill and Judiciary Committee Members, Thank you for your service. We write today urging you to promptly hold committee hearings on and advance HB295/SB150 for floor action. These bills were introduced at the start of the Legislative session and have sat in your respective Judiciary Committees for 54 days of a 90-day session without a hearing or any other action. If you do not take action, dangerous criminals will continue to be released into our communities to threaten the public and commit more crimes. Prior to passage of SB91, judges in Alaska used their discretion to assign bail, considering all factors relevant to protecting the public and assuring appearance at future criminal proceedings. SB91 created the mandatory Alaska 2 Scale (AK-2S) to determine bail for persons charged with crimes. AK-2S went into effect in January of this year. It soon became clear that there were serious problems. Specifically, the new bail system does not allow judges to consider out-of-state convictions. Passage of these bills would close this loophole.

Toward that end, the Center has authored and distributed to all legislative candidates our 2020 Corrupt Practices in the Alaska Legislature Candidate Survey. Surveys were sent to all candidates by electronic mail on August 4, 2020. The Center welcomed suggestions for this year's survey from our supporters and donors. The ten topics that were finally chosen for this year's candidate survey highlight several issues of concern that Alaska legislators have faced in recent years and that are likely to resurface in the future. By raising these issues now, we hope to prepare both voters and future legislators to understand and form an opinion about them before being faced with a decision on whether to maintain the status quo within the legislature or chart a new and better course. As of this writing, a number of candidates have yet to review their survey and submit their responses on these very important issues. If your candidate has not yet done so, please encourage them to complete their survey

  • Support for CSHB 41

    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).

  • 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.
