Incoming Senate President Gary Stevens Comments on Governor Dunleavy’s FY 24 Budgets
KODIAK – Today, Governor Mike Dunleavy presented his Fiscal Year 2024 operating, capital, and mental health budgets. Incoming Senate President Gary Stevens (R-Kodiak) issued the following statement:
“This initial budget proposal is a good starting point for the upcoming legislature to begin their work. We look forward to working closely with Governor Dunleavy and our colleagues to have a successful legislative session.
“With any proposal, we won’t agree on every principle. I do have some concerns with the proposed PFD amount, no additional resources for education funding, a skeleton version of a capital budget, and the possibility we may need a supplemental budget for FY 2023 because of the decline in oil revenues. As we go through the process, we will continue to focus on revitalizing Alaska’s economy, improving education, and addressing the state’s high energy costs to provide paths for Alaskans to succeed.”
