This morning I spoke to the regular, every-other Thursday breakfast meeting of the Alaska Support Industry Alliance on A Way Forward on the Alaska Budget. The speech comes on the cusp of a dramatic next few weeks in the Legislature, as they come to grips with final state spending levels and grapple with how they are going to pay for them. The speech summarizes my views on how those issues should be resolved.
