Gov. Dunleavy’s amended budget unveiled Wednesday attempts to address some crisis areas in Alaska — such as a food stamp application backlog and a public defender shortage — and would see an anticipated deficit top $400 million.
Gov. Mike Dunleavy unveils his amended budget in the state Capitol on Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2023.
The governor has said that his plans for a carbon credit and sequestration program could provide a new billion-dollar revenue stream. But he acknowledged that those proposals would likely take at least one or two years to provide new revenue. The Alaska Legislature has said it will hire its own independent consultants to vet the governor’s proposals.
• An extra $8.3 million for the Office of Public Advocacy and the Public Defender Agency.
The Dunleavy administration is also proposing that the Legislature appropriate an additional $18 million to help pay for a looming Medicaid recertification effort.In exchange for extra federal COVID-19 funding, states agreed in 2020 to keep Medicaid recipients enrolled in the program until the end of the public health emergency. A federal spending bill passed in December ended that moratorium, and normal Medicaid eligibility requirements will resume in April.
Transportation Commissioner Ryan Anderson spoke at Wednesday’s news conference about the need to capturein federal funding for the Alaska Marine Highway System. The administration is poised to adopt an “innovative” approach, where farebox revenue used to invest in maintenance and improvements would be used as a match for the federal dollars, Anderson said.
