The Alaska Legislature wrapped up its first week of the session Friday. Alaska Public Media statewide affairs reporter Kavitha George spoke with Casey Grove about what happened.
Alaska Public Media statewide affairs reporter Kavitha George was in Juneau this week and spoke to host Casey Grove about what the last few days have been like in the Capitol.Things in the Legislature have been somewhat unpredictable this week, but now we can say the House is organized, right?That’s right.
The Bush Caucus is made up of four rural Democrats and independents – Bryce Edgmon from Dillingham, CJ McCormick from Bethel, Neal Foster from Nome and Josiah Patkotak from Utqiagvik. I’ll also note that the majority as it stands now is politically, very mixed. I think one thing to watch where this could cause roadblocks is the PFD, because you have Republicans like Tilton, for example, who support a full statutory PFD, and then others like Edgmon who do not want to overdraw the Permanent Fund.
