The @GovDunleavy just announced that he would support @AKSenateDems in a early release of the PFD and Energy Relief on September 21st?! Alaskans said that they would use the money right now while gas prices are peaking under summer travel. Disappointed. #akleg

Yesterday, HB 411 became law without Governor Dunleavy’s signature, which includes an amendment from Sen. Kawasaki to provide communities the ability to increase property tax exemptions from $50,000 to $75,000. Read more here: https://t.co/sL2nPL2lg4 #akleg

Today is the 33rd anniversary of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill in Prince William Sound, Alaska. In the 30+ years since the disaster, the shipment of oil in the US has changed forever, most notably with double hulled tankers required for shipping oil in Alaska and US waters. #akleg
