It sounds like there’s a lot of important work happening in Juneau! The focus on public education funding and addressing Alaska’s energy challenges are certainly pressing issues.

I agree that providing resources to classrooms and addressing teacher shortages is vital for the state’s future. It’s also encouraging to hear that there’s a commitment to ensuring local control in charter schools, which is a key factor in their success.

Regarding the budget, it seems like there are some tough decisions ahead with declining state revenue and the potential impact on vital services.

I’m curious to hear your thoughts on how you might prioritize these revenue measures, like SB 92, and if you see any other potential sources of funding that could help balance the budget.

Also, the Alaska Railroad’s partnership with Royal Caribbean for the Seward terminal expansion sounds like a promising development that could bring both economic growth and long-term sustainability without relying on state funds.
