Featuring Senate President Pete Kelly, Senator John Coghill, and Senator Click Bishop

Alaska Senate President Pete Kelly and other members of the Senate Majority understand Alaska’s fiscal problem and its repercussions for the economy – and with their colleagues in Juneau, have put a complete solution on the table. The solution stabilizes state spending; stabilizes state revenues by adopting a percent of market value approach to Permanent Fund management; and protects the dividend for future generations. Any actions to resolve this $2.8 billion deficit will impact the private economy – the Senate Majority’s priority is to protect the private sector as much as possible; this solution allows our economy to weather this recession, and rebuild.
