Lawmakers are in Juneau for the legislative session. Gov. Mike Dunleavy released his budget plan in December with a stated desire to pay a full permanent fund dividend, while leaving a $1.5 billion deficit for legislators to grapple with. The governor says he wants Alaskans to vote on new revenue ideas or even what else to cut. Would that be feasible? We’ll ask when Gov. Dunleavy joins us for the next Talk of Alaska.
