The 2026 ISER report on #akleg fiscal options CLEARLY outlines paths for saving 80% of #AKfams tons of money. To date, NO candidate for #AKgov has included those paths in their platform. Why? Probably b/c the paths would require contributions from the Top20%, #NonRez & #OilCos. https://alaskalandmine.com/landmines/brad-keithleys-chart-of-the-week-significantly-reducing-the-impact-of-the-states-fiscal-burden-on-alaskans/

The @nytimes looks at Alaska, focusing on the state's fiscal situation. The interesting thing? While it notes that 17 people are running for #AKgov, it can't find one who is actually offering a comprehensive plan to deal with it. #akleg https://buff.ly/urvqAvA

The annual #AKdeficit is ~$1.5 billion. Rep. Galvin's income tax would raise ~$300 - $350mil. The remainder would be raised thru continued PFD cuts. The combined impact is FAR more regressive than #AKgov Dunleavy's proposed sales tax. #akleg https://alaskalandmine.com/landmines/brad-keithleys-chart-of-the-week-is-the-fact-that-legislators-live-in-a-much-different-economic-world-than-80-of-alaska-families-leading-to-deep-pfd-cuts/

#akleg & #akgov candidates cannot honestly both say they support a statutory (or even POMV 50/50) PFD and oppose taxes. The math doesn't work, ever, period. Those taking the position are dishonest with themselves and voters. https://buff.ly/aJYwWPx

This Wk's Top 3 P'cast| What the new ISER study shows about the #AKgov's proposed sales tax, how the ADN & News-Miner editorial boards misrepresent its impact & the parts of the #AKgov's overall proposal that are problematic. #akleg https://buff.ly/wB3mHtE

Some, including the ADN editorial board, claim that #AKGov Dunleavy's fiscal plan incorporates “a classic redistribution of wealth.” It doesn't. In fact, it corrects an existing one that's gone on far too long. Here's how. #akleg https://buff.ly/CN1Sby8

🤔 One takeaway from yesterday's HFIN hearings on the #AKGov's proposed fiscal plan is that many #akleg members, including several Rs, view their role as protecting government economics rather than #AKfam economics. The two are not necessarily aligned. https://buff.ly/zWLbSpd

🙄 Persily with his periodic misdirect on behalf of the Top20%, #NonRez & #OilCos. As much as he repeats it, the problem 𝙞𝙨𝙣'𝙩 the PFD. It's the state's failure to develop equitable & low-impact revs. That's the #AKgov's failure. It's also Persily's. #akleg https://buff.ly/3Po1WBB

Surprise. Republicans are trying to overturn the dark money provisions we all voted on. https://alaskabeacon.com/briefs/u-s-supreme-court-may-consider-alaskas-dark-money-disclosure-rules/ #akleg #akgov

The folks trying to rollback elections in Alaska to the bad old days of closed primaries have turned in their petition books.

Sixty days for Division of Elections to certify and probably some arguing about invalid signatures but this will be a huge issue this year if it gets on the ballot.

I'd very much like to keep our current elections system in place. If we're going to make changes, they need to be forward looking, not a wholesale repeal. #akleg #akgov

The folks trying to repeal Alaska's open primary, ranked choice voting system will be turning in their petition books soon. The signature count will be a big deal because they may not have what they need from every district.

If you mistakenly signed this petition, please help us and withdraw your name by tonight:

@leahwrenn @patrace @spiraledu I was so happy find a signature booklet in favor of campaign finance disclosure and limits. Thanks to #LocalBusiness who allowed the table in their entry way and long time active citizen who offered us the opportunity to sign. #akgov #Juneau

Found an archive of the Ted Stevens / Bill Allen tapes from the VECO scandal. To me Bill & Ben (Ted's son) always came across as the real criminals in all this. https://web.archive.org/web/20110707091540/http://community.adn.com/adn/node/132300 #akleg #akgov

Hey Alaska friends, are you aware we have no contribution limits for state or local elections? When one wealthy donor can buy an election, we get politicians who only serve those few deep pocketed interests.

Please help our ragtag volunteer network to gather signatures and reinstate reasonable contribution limits in Alaska. Let's have a state government for the people.

More info and volunteer form here: campaignlimits.org

#akleg #akgov

Alaskans, I'm trying to get the temperature on campaign contribution limits. Does reinstating reasonable contribution limits feel like something we *must* get on the ballot this next year? Or does it feel more like a legislative fix will get us there eventually? #akleg #akgov https://www.adn.com/politics/2021/07/30/federal-court-ruling-likely-allows-unlimited-cash-in-alaska-political-campaigns/

"This year’s state operating budget included $1 million for the Department of Administration to study whether state salaries should be increased. The department said it intends to hire an outside firm to conduct that study;"

"Yes."

There, I just saved the State of Alaska a million dollars.

#akleg #akgov

@redrummy Yeah I am referring to the state leadership #akleg and #akgov who just can't seem to progress on anything important to us

Meanwhile #AkGov conflicts of interest continue to rage here. #Alaska #akleg @spifffy #Landshit for the info, as always.

It's been overdue so I suppose I should do an introduction! I'm Justin, a #fish biologist in Southeast #Alaska. I have lots of interests but really appreciate keeping up with local politics, especially #akleg and #akgov . There are also so many great #rstats folks that I've learned #dataviz from. I read much more than post but appreciate the conversation here!

The annual Alaska governor's mansion holiday open house will be 2-6 p.m. next Tuesday in Juneau. #akleg #akgov #alaska

@AKroadweed i believe if we can address the oil tax credits AND get our fair share (dammit!) then we can address Ed and Housing.

Until we address the elephant on the Slope, nothing gets addressed. Not with the 75% required #akleg to force the #akgov to not be able to veto anything. (I may have fumbled that wording.
