Some are actually kinda close to becoming a reality. Others are the fiscal plan.
The winners and losers of the session
Let's look at how the big power players all fared.
Sound off: Rank Alaska's legislators
Who's good, who's bad and who's completely forgettable?
Sine die: 'It was a process.'
The bipartisan Senate’s insistence on a balanced budget won out the day.
Day 121: 'An extremely difficult year for all of us.'
Special session = special session per diem.
Day 121: 'Kabuki theater'
Even though time had run out to reject the pay raises, the House held a debate so legislators could denounce the raises while knowing full well they'd still get them.
Day 120: House leadership tries to pull the plug on school funding bill
Strange things happen ‘neath the Juneau alpenglow.
Day 119: 'An exercise in futility'
The Legislature heads to overtime with little apparent movement on the intractable differences between the House and Senate. Meanwhile, the Alaska Redistricting Board won't give it another go.
Day 117: The cracks are showing
As the House and Senate have a staredown over the budget and the dividend, it's hard to ignore that they're not exactly on the same footing.
Day 115: Marcum rejected and reappointed
Out of a job on the Board of Regents, Marcum heads back to the Alaska Redistricting Board.
