Print article JUNEAU — Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy will call the state Legislature into two special sessions this summer to address the state budget and the years-long fiscal conflict over the Permanent Fund dividend. The first special session, to begin May 20, will allow the legislators to finish the state’s operating budget. The second session, to begin Aug. 2, intends to fix the imbalance between state revenue and spending on services and the Permanent Fund dividend. “I want the entire thing solved this summer. Alaska wants it solved now. This summer,” he said. In the fiscal year that starts July 1, the state is projecting $4.7 billion in revenue. It would cost approximately $6.7 billion to pay for budgeted state services and a Permanent Fund dividend using the traditional formula in state law. With no dividend, the budget is almost precisely balanced.
