Gov. Mike Dunleavy signed the state’s $12.2 billion operating budget Friday. He trimmed some $225 million in planned spending from the state’son social media. “This budget reflects their intentions. By maintaining focus and fiscal discipline, this budget increases funding where it is needed most while at the same time reducing total Unrestricted General Fund spending,”
Dunleavy also nixed $10 million the Legislature had set aside for the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute to help the industry weather a market downturn. He also cut $11 million from a program that helps rural schools afford faster broadband connections, reducing funding by about a third.
