Alaska governor vetoes amount of this year s oil check

Alaska governor vetoes amount of this year s oil check July 1, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) Gov. Mike Dunleavy has vetoed the amount of this year’s oil wealth fund check paid to nearly every single Alaskan, which his office called a paltry amount. The Legislature had proposed a Permanent Fund Dividend of about $1,100 in the budget but tied part of the funding to the constitutional budget reserve and another reserve that was subject to a three-quarter approval vote. However, that vote failed, leaving the dividend at $525, the lowest amount in years. Dunleavy in a statement ahead of a Thursday news conference called it an “arbitrary PFD amount that doesn’t come close to assisting Alaskans who are still recovering from the pandemic.”

With a shutdown looming, Alaska House to reconvene Monday

The Alaska House of Representatives is expected to take a procedural vote Monday to pass a complete budget and avoid a government shutdown this week. Gov. Mike Dunleavy has refused to sign the state budget, labelling it “defective” after the House did not have the votes to adopt the July 1 start date for the fiscal 2022 state spending plan, known as the effective date clause. House Speaker Louise Stutes, a Kodiak Republican, maintained that the governor has the authority to sign the budget bill without the effective date clause. “This is not a drama vote,” Republican Rep. Bart LeBon said Sunday. “It is a procedural routine vote. I think that come tomorrow (Monday), we will pass an effective date vote.”
