Great article:
Takeaways:
*Republicans will rely on the Dunleavy Administration prognosticators Trump Iran War experts
*MAGA #akleg says Iran War Good!
*Believe them when they say they ALWAYS spend $ wisely
✨Mina’s Minute✨Sidewalks, roads, & bridges will get a lot worse if we don’t pass our supplemental budget ASAP. We’ve never failed to fund the summer construction season. Industry relies on predictable funding, and using a small amount of our savings now gives certainty that oil prices can’t. #akleg
#akleg excellent thread on why the agreement signed by election denier Carol Beecher Director of the Alaska Division of Elections with the urging of Acting AG Stephen Cox is so dangerous:
The Stable Geniuses of the Dunleavy Administration have a revenue projection and the MAGA faction of the #akleg have an oil boner. They love War. Go forth and spend!
This is what people like Begich 3 are trying to sell. They want Alaska to subsidize the AKLNG to our complete disadvantage ensuring that corporations like Glenfarne take home billions on the backs of Alaskans: #akleg

The State is Alaska is out with its updated oil prediction. Because who doesn’t know better what Trump, Iran, and world oil markets will do than the State of Alaska. They’ve got this! It’s all very predictable. #akleg #sarcasm
This forecast is being released during a period of high uncertainty given the conflict in Iran and related disruptions to oil markets. The revenue forecast is based on Alaska North Slope (ANS) oil prices averaging $75.26 per barrel for FY 2026 which incorporates an actual average price of $67.34 per barrel for the first eight months of the fiscal year and a forecasted average price of $91.09 per barrel for the final four months of the fiscal year. The price forecast for FY 2027 is $75.00 per barrel, which assumes that prices will begin FY 2027 at over $80.00 per barrel and decline throughout the fiscal year. This price forecast represents a most likely scenario within a range of potential outcomes. Oil prices over the next year could be materially higher and/or lower than the official forecast.
The state's updated revenue forecast is out.
They're predicting an average of $91bbl for the remaining four months this year. That's about $14 shy of what budgeters said is needed to cover this year's supplemental budget without tapping state savings.
Not quite what some were hoping.

Rep. Fields addresses the Alaska House failing to unlock $700M in federal transportation funds despite unanimous approval by the Senate. We also discuss Rep. Fields' behavior during US Nick Begich's speech this week. Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l... #akleg
Throwback to the most perfect two minutes in #akleg history:
"This time, our so-called best friends have bested us."
The House passed the supplemental budget yesterday, but not the 3/4 vote to pay for it.
The GOP Minority argued the "blessing" of high oil prices would provide more than enough $ (thereby keeping leverage).
For that to pan out, oil needs to avg more than $105/bbl thru 7/1.

🧵 House Finance is holding another hearing on Senate Bill 64, the election reform bill.
They had planned to push ahead with an amendment deadline today, but are slowing the bill down. They'll have a new version on Monday and an amendment deadline after that.

Oil prices have skyrocketed since the attack on Iran, which may mean hundreds of millions of extra cash to Alaska.
"I understand we’re all feeling awkward about the unfortunate reason for the optimism," said Rep. Andy Josephson. "Which is that mankind can’t stop itself from fighting."

Majority members said oil prices are volatile and there is no guarantee that they will remain at their current level through the remainder of the fiscal year. Even if they yielded an average of $90/barrel through June, that would only add $300 million in unforeseen oil revenue to the state.
