Next Tuesday, legislators return to Juneau to start the 2020 session. Will the Dunleavy administration and state lawmakers find common ground on how to pay for state services and a permanent fund dividend without draining the Constitutional Budget Reserve? What is the best long term fix for stabilizing the annual budget? Join us for a discussion on what to watch for in the upcoming session, and weigh in with your ideas for the state's fiscal future, on the next Talk of Alaska.
