Alaska Fact Book

Question: With all the recent discussion about the Alaska Permanent Fund, exactly how much money is currently in the Fund and how is it organized?

Answer: As of early this summer, there is a total fund value of about $64 billon. Of this, about $45 billion makes up the principal, or the part of the fund that the legislature absolutely cannot touch (without an amendment to the Alaska Constitution). Another $19 billon composes the Earnings Reserve Account (ERA) which is made up of the earnings from the Fund’s principal. The ERA is the only portion of the Permanent Fund used to pay dividends to Alaskans and partially fund state government.

July 26, 2009—10 years ago: Sarah Palin officially stepped down as Alaska’s governor and was replaced by her lieutenant governor, Sean Parnell. The former Wasilla mayor and 2008 vice-presidential candidate said ongoing lawsuits against her made it difficult to do the state’s business as governor and she felt it necessary to step away and let Alaska’s government return to business as usual.

July 26, 1950—69 years ago: Austin E. Lathrop, the Alaska Territory’s “most powerful businessman” and a prominent opponent of statehood was tragically killed by a railroad car in his Suntrana coal plant near Healy. A man of many ventures, Lathrop also owned a chain of movie theaters across the state and served until his death on the University of Alaska’s Board of Regents. Lathrop High School in Fairbanks is named in his honor.

Libby Bakalar: A swig and a swing

WHAT’S HER POINT?

The assistant attorney general who lost her job with the State Department of Law is a woman truly scorned. She wants her job back. But she wouldn’t work for the Dunleavy Administration for a “million years.”

Although it’s unclear what she wants in the way of work, she absolutely intends to remain the queen of vulgarity.

In her latest blog post at OneHotMessAK.com, she torched the Dunleavy Administration by saying, essentially, she will be their worst nightmare.

And she may. If she wins, her lawsuit against Gov. Michael Dunleavy and his chief of staff, she may be back representing the State of Alaska for the rest of her working life. No administration would ever seek to fire her again.

But no administration would ever trust her to do anything but sit in a corner and sort paper. That’s because she can’t help herself: She has to vent her vulgarity, and she’s making herself wholly unemployable, anywhere:

“They were told I was an invaluable employee and a top-performing attorney, and that it would be a big, BIG mistake to unconstitutionally fire me. They didn’t listen. It took me six months, but now, they will feel the wrath of my words and my influence and my activism indefinitely,” she wrote on her blog last week.

“They could have had me there, working quietly and diligently to defend their shitty policies to the best of my abilities within the bounds of the constitution. But because they violated the constitution immediately upon taking office and continue to, I will joyfully use my substantial and highly effective platform and all of the intellectual and educational privileges available to me to call out their egregious malfeasance every single fucking day of this disastrous administration,” Bakalar continued.

The attorney still doesn’t understand why people don’t trust her judgment. But she powered on:

“Now I know they got rid of me *because* I am not a yes-woman and was not about to perform legal gymnastics with our democratic institutions in service of their sadistic, unconstitutional bullshit. I could never work for them in a million years.”

Bakalar and the ACLU are suing to get her job back, but she can write vulgar commentary about her former bosses as often as she likes because, as a lawyer, she knows whatever she says or does now will not be admissible in court. She’s writing it months after she was released from duty.

“Their sadism is unreal and sociopathic. They WANT people to suffer. They WANT to see people hurt. They WANT to damage our constitutional democracy and drive out arts and intellect so that all that’s left of Alaska is a smash-and-grab resource colony. They WANT to punish the sick, the poor, and the elderly for being poor, sick, and old,” she wrote, before calling her former employers more names:

  • amateur hour shitgoblins.
  • trifling hos
  • cockamamie inept

She argued that she, unlike the Dunleavy Administration, knows how to use social media and she, also unlike the Dunleavy Administration, has “good, longstanding relationships with almost every reporter in the state.”

Yes, Bakalar does have good relationships with the mainstream media, and they have been kind to her point of view. She and the mainstream media are the cool kids.

Finally, Bakalar simply resorted to threats, because that’s what you do when you have no working filter:

” If you so much as lift a finger to retaliate against other state employees for “resisting” your cockamamie ineptitude I will put you on blast like the Fourth of July. I may have lived my adult life in Alaska but I was born and raised in NYC and you should not have squared up with this bitch,” she wrote, possibly addressing her remarks to the Dunleavy Administration … but also possibly addressing her remarks to the universe, because this is a type of rage that needs a much bigger stage.

Restoring lavish university salaries with Alaskans’ PFDs?

Restoring lavish university salaries with Alaskans’ PFDs?

The House of Representatives appears to be on the verge of restoring $110 million to the University of Alaska system, adding back most of the cuts made by Gov. Michael Dunleavy as he sought to correct the fiscal imbalance that has brought Alaska’s Legislature to a standstill.

[Read: Up next, another $330 million in spending, $1,600 PFD]

At the same time, it appears the House may vote for a $1,600 Permanent Fund dividend, far less than the $3,000 that Alaska Statute calls for.

That news, plus a recently circulated white paper from the Office of Management and Budget, has raised the ire of conservatives, who see lavish salaries, duplicative programs, and far too many administrators for the university.

They say the cuts are long overdue and that the university system needs restructuring. Among the key points in the OMB white paper:

  • The Dunleavy Administration cut 41 percent of the state’s contribution to the University of Alaska, but the reduction is less than 17 percent of the system’s entire budget, which has access to other funds. The reductions, according to the OMB, bring the state contribution from more than double the average U.S. state contribution to about 35-40% higher than U.S. average.
  • The primary cost-driver issue for the University was developing two separately accredited full-service universities in the state — Anchorage and Fairbanks, the OMB report says. The university has lost 19 percent of its student body since 2012, and the University of Alaska Fairbanks recently closed a third dormitory due to lack of students.
  • Add to that the duplicate programs at Fairbanks and Anchorage, such as engineering, business management, arts and sciences, and education. OMB posits that UAF and UAA are competing for the same students, but UAF is increasingly unable to attract students because of its high cost. UAF only has 3,616 full time equivalent students (about the size of Lewis-Clark State College in Idaho, where acceptance rate is 97 percent and graduation rate is 30 percent).

7.11.19 White Paper – University – Final

ADMINISTRATION HEAVY

The University system’s payroll shows that more than 50 percent of employees are administrative or campus support staff. Many staff positions are duplicative because the same programs are offered at two or more campuses.

The University of Alaska has 100 executive management staff, including dozens of chancellors, provosts, deans, and directors, whose average salary and benefit packages are higher than $175,000 per year. From the white paper linked above, Must Read Alaska clipped these salaries:

Up next: Another vote on a $1,600 PFD and $330 million more spending

Up next: Another vote on a $1,600 PFD and $330 million more spending

The House of Representatives will consider a bill on the House floor on Tuesday that would add back roughly $330 million in spending, and give Alaskans $1,600 in Permanent Fund dividends this year, less than half of what the statutory formula would give them.

[See the full text of HB 2001 here]

The bill only allows $91 million of Gov. Michael Dunleavy’s Undesignated General Fund vetoes to stand.

The numbers don’t quite add up to the $444 million that was cut by Dunleavy as there are differences between what is designated and undesignated funds. The House Finance Committee members had a number of questions about how the numbers were arrived at, and members expressed confusion.

The added-back spending includes $110 million for the University System, carving away at the $135 million in cuts the system had been given. Also being funded would be other programs cut by Dunleavy — public broadcasting, the State Council on the Arts, Alaska Legal Services Corporation, and a host of others.

The bill also brings back education forward-funding for fiscal year 2021, something that Dunleavy has said is illegal. The leadership of the House and Senate have filed a lawsuit to settle that question, but in the meantime, House Finance wants to make another run at forward funding.

[See the list of items this legislation is attempting to fund via appropriation, rather than a veto override vote]

This is part veto-override legislation and part PFD legislation, rolled into one, with a complicated funding mechanism that will be subject to much debate on the House floor.

The bill only needs 21 votes to pass, and the House majority currently has 23 members, nearly ensuring that the bill will go to the Senate in some form.

Among the items not added back to the budget are the school bond debt reimbursement, and travel for the executive branch, much of it in the Department of Transportation.

[See the list of accepted veto items the House Majority is not attempting to override here.]

House Finance co-chairs have come up with an unusual way of paying for dividends. They want to reverse a veto of $1 billion deposit from the Earnings Reserve Account to the General Fund. Then appropriate $147 million from the Statutory Budget Reserve to the Dividend Fund, and $898.3 million from the General Fund to the Dividend Fund and then restore the full $9.4 billion transfer from the Earnings Reserve Account to the corpus of the Permanent Fund.

Regents relent, declare financial exigency

Regents relent, declare financial exigency

The University of Alaska Board of Regents declared financial exigency on Monday, allowing the university system to more quickly lay off faculty and staff, even those with tenure, if necessary.

The declaration will help the university as it restructures following budget cuts of $135 million in this year’s State budget.

The vote was 10-1, with Regent Lisa Parker of Soldotna the only regent voting against the declaration.

Financial exigency means that the university is in a crisis condition financially, and it must take immediate action. Normal procedures for restructuring, which can get caught in union contracts and internal political disputes, can be set aside.

University of Alaska President Jim Johnsen explained that the restructuring could involved a “new UA,” moving to one university with one accreditation, rather than three universities that have three separate accreditations.

The university could, alternately, spread the $135 million in cuts across all of the campuses and programs using a proportional approach.

Whatever the choice, the university will need to move fast, Johnsen said.

Dunleavy veto holds judges accountable

Dunleavy veto holds judges accountable

By JIM MINNERY, ALASKA FAMILY COUNCIL

The ACLU of Alaska has filed a lawsuit challenging Governor Dunleavy’s veto of just under $335,000 from the Alaska Court System’s budget. This roughly equals the annual cost for complying with a court order to pay for abortions through the Medicaid program.

Interestingly, the ACLU’s complaint starts by quoting a previous state court case known as Bradner v. Hammond (1976).  In that decision, the Alaska Supreme Court opined, “The underlying rationale for the doctrine of separation of powers is the avoidance of tyrannical aggrandizement of power by a single branch of government…”

The court has often performed an essential role in curtailing abuses of power by the legislative and executive branches. But this begs the question: what happens when the single branch of government pursuing a “tyrannical aggrandizement of power” is the judicial branch? How should the legislative and executive branches respond when the court itself acts in an unlawful manner?

It’s a crucial question, because the landscape is littered with examples of judges who violated, rather than protected, our most sacred rights. Consider the Dred Scottdecision that denied the rights of African-Americans, or the Korematsuruling that upheld the confinement of Japanese-Americans during World War II. Judges are fallible, and wearing a black robe offers no immunity to the corrupting influence of power.

The crux of the ACLU’s argument against Governor Dunleavy is that his veto is a “measure of retaliation” against the court which “threaten[s] our democracy and the core system of checks and balances.” Yet a close examination of the court’s rulings on abortion reveals that it’s the unelected members of the judicial branch that threaten democratic government.

The state constitution is clear: no money may be spent from the state treasury unless the legislature authorizes it by law (Article 9, Section 13). In 1998, the Legislature exercised its proper constitutional authority when it decided that Medicaid would no longer pay for abortions, except when required to preserve the life of the mother, or in cases of rape and incest. The federal government and two-thirds of states have adopted similar limitations, so the Alaska action was hardly unique.  Nevertheless, an organization that directly benefits from state abortion subsidies—Planned Parenthood—filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn the legislature’s action.

In 2001, the Supreme Court struck down the Legislature’s policy. The court admitted there was no constitutional obligation to fund “elective” abortions but argued that many pregnant women needed abortions because of elevated health risks. The court cited examples such as renal disease, sickle cell anemia, diabetes, and epilepsy.

Taking the court’s ruling at face value, Governor Sean Parnell’s administration adopted a regulation, and the Legislature adopted a statute, that went further than the court’s examples and specified 21 different medical conditions that would justify a state-funded abortion. This list was developed with input from medical experts. There was also a “catch all” provision at the end of the list, to allow abortion doctors to specify some other reason why an abortion might be “medically necessary.”

It didn’t satisfy Planned Parenthood. Once again, they sought to have the policy thrown out. Once again, the Supreme Court sided with Planned Parenthood and ordered the state to pay for all abortions through Medicaid. Chief Justice Craig Stowers dissented from the court’s ruling, writing: “I believe the court today fails to give respect to the legislature’s proper role but instead substitutes its judgement for that of the legislature.”

Years ago, the late Justice Antonin Scalia expressed a similar thought, but with blunter language: “A system of government that makes the People subordinate to a committee of nine unelected lawyers does not deserve to be called a democracy.”

So yes, separation of powers is important—and on the issue of abortion, the judicial branch is the transgressor. Whatever differences exist between the Legislature and Governor Dunleavy, they have at least two things in common: they’re both opposed to paying for elective abortions, and their authority to make budget-related decisions was acquired by winning an election.

Does the Governor’s veto send a message to the court system? Perhaps. Maybe it’s something like this: “If you think you have the constitutional authority to appropriate money, then be prepared to pay the bill.”

Alaska History Archive:

July 22, 1902—117 years ago: Italian prospector Felix Pedro discovered gold in a small creek running through the Tanana Hills. With this news, E.T. Barnette’s small and struggling trading post—then only a year old— on the banks of the nearby Chena River rapidly grew with the arrival of other miners hoping to finally strike it rich. Fairbanks was born.

July 23, 1907—112 years ago: By the order of President Theodore Roosevelt, the Chugach National Forest was established. The nearly 7-million-acre forest covers much of Prince William Sound and a portion of the Kenai Peninsula and Copper River Valley. Five thousand bald eagles live in the forest, approximately equal to the entire bald eagle population of the Lower 48.

Capital budget high-centered in House

Capital budget high-centered in House

The Alaska Senate on Saturday unanimously approved Capital Budget items in Senate Bill 2002, introduced by Gov. Michael Dunleavy.

But then came Sunday, and a vote that went nowhere in the House, as the amount of the Permanent Fund dividend, which had nothing to do with the Capital Budget per se, became the stumbling block.

The Capital Budget passed the House 26-6 on Sunday, but then, with five votes short of the amount needed to access the funding for it, the measure failed to move forward.

Nearly $1 billion in matched federal funding is at stake for construction projects, as well as funding for rural energy subsidies, and more. The bill also contains money for this year’s Alaska Performance Scholarships for college students.

This is the second time that the House has failed to get a supermajority vote that would allow the Legislature to access the Constitutional Budget Reserve. The holdouts in the House say the Legislature must first pass a $3,000 Permanent Fund dividend, before they will allow access to the CBR. They are working one of the last levers they have to get that money into the hands of Alaskans.

The House minority is also blocking the majority from enacting what is known as a “reverse sweep.” That would usher funds back into specific state programs that had their unspent funds “swept” into the Constitutional Budget Reserve at the end of the fiscal year, due to legislative inaction.

There were several members with pre-excused absences on Sunday, including conservative members of the Republican minority: Reps. Sara Rasmussen, Mark Neuman, Ben Carpenter, George Rauscher, Dave Talerico, Josh Revak, Laddie Shaw, and Ben Carpenter.

The Legislature has been in session for the better part of 187 days this year, more than six months altogether. The current special session could run into the first week of August.

The funding mechanism for the Capital Budget is expected to be voted on again Monday during the 10 am floor session.
