The Alaska House and Senate will meet on Tuesday at 9 am to hold a vote that could override Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s veto of House Bill 57, the education spending bill.
Some Republican lawmakers have said on social media that they will vote to override Dunleavy, and presumably most of the Democrats will. They will need 40 votes of the 60 to effect an override and add $180 million in spending to the budget, which will then be an annual addition.
Republicans across the state have supported the governor, but Sen. Rob Yundt of Wasilla has taken a contrary view and said he will override Dunleavy.
Earlier this year, Dunleavy vetoed House Bill 69, which aimed to increase the Base Student Allocation for schools. The Democrat-controlled Legislature then failed to override the veto, with a vote of 33-27.
HB 57 became the vehicle for the funding in HB 69, only now it’s a $700 permanent increase to the Base Student Allocation.
Wasilla still holding onto the fiction it’s still conservatives?
Do it! Override the veto so we know who you are and that you go against the people of Alaska! Yundt’s days are numbered already!
Yundt must go.
Recall.
The Peninsula is going to pay for Jesse.
This is why we need to move the capital to Willow and keep an eye on some of the back door deals with the unions 🤷🏼⏳🕵🏻♂️
Come Lord Jesus! Pray for Kathy and Rob!
