This Week's Column| SFIN is proposing to change the percent-of-market-value draw rate. In this week's column, we discuss the modifications that are needed to better protect both future generations and the PFD. #akleg
I’m disgusted with Acting AG Stephen J Cox. The persecution of this family is in the name of a MAGA culture war. They should not be prosecuted and Acting AG Cox should not be confirmed by the #akleg. Please write and call them to not confirm Cox in the name Miliama Suli, RIP 🙏

Monthly, we review indices of Alaska income. Overall, growth in personal consumption expenditures since 2017 has outpaced growth in personal income. Using regressive PFD cuts over the period to fund govt has had an even greater adverse impact on middle-income #AKfams. #akleg

AKLNG we have a problem.
Trust us Alaska it will be GREAT!

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.
Meanwhile...
