Hello!
This past week the Senate Education committee began hearings on increasing K-12 school funding and new policies that will lead to improved education outcomes. The bill that came over from the House must be amended to work for Alaska’s families and all forms of public education.
Developments continue to evolve around the AKLNG project. Negotiations between AGDC and Glenfarne have gone on for weeks now without a final agreement. The non-binding letter of intent signed by Taiwan to invest and purchase LNG is a small step. It is also positive to note that another large investment firm has gathered financing to privatize the project and is willing to quarterback laying pipe if things with Glenfarne fall through. However, that offer will likely not last forever.
There are many other things happening this week as well! Several of my bills have hearings this week and two are discussed below, as well as information on the town hall meetings I'll be holding next weekend.
I am honored to be your effective advocate in Juneau. Please contact my office when you have ideas or concerns by calling 907-283-7996 or by email at sen.jesse.bjorkman@akleg.gov
