The Alaska Legislature gavels in Tuesday afternoon for the 29th session. Lawmakers – along with all Alaskans will get a better sense of Governor Bill Walker’s agenda for the next 90 days in two speeches this week – the State of the State and the State of the budget.
Walker took some time today to talk about his priorities. He says he has a few guiding principles as he crafts a budget this year.
