I had the honor to sponsor and present a citation from the 34th Alaska State Legislature tonight congratulationing the Fairbanks Golden Heart Rotary Club on their twentieth anniversary of operation in Fairbanks. The motto of Rotary is: “service above self.” I believe we can all take this to heart. One of the most successful programs the Golden Heart Rotary Club has developed is The Running Club. The 🏃‍♂️ club is free to join for children ages seven to twelve and encourages them to get active during the summer months. The Golden Heart Rotary Club also holds an annual golf tournament in Fairbanks and has for seventeen years. The tournament serves as a fundraiser for numerous charitable efforts. In all, the tournament has raised over ninety thousand dollars for local community organizations committed to providing aid and assistance across Fairbanks. 👏🏾 👏🏾 The club performs many other charitable activities, including sponsoring exchange students in Fairbanks schools, and providing aid to families around the holidays. The dedication of the Golden Heart Rotary Club to improving the lives of their fellow Fairbanksans has done tremendous good over their twenty years of service and we are grateful to them for exemplifying the ideals of service and charity.

The 34th Legislature adjourned Sine Die last night after 120 days of difficult but productive work. Thank you to all of you who stay engaged and who gave feedback and guidance during our work. We will now gavel in today for a 30 day special session focused on a gasline bill. As co-chair of House Resources, I was directly involved in crafting the AKLNG language. This language attempts to balance moderate property tax relief, substantially lower energy costs statewide, and job creation. Despite the Governor giving us a bill very late in the session, we held more than a dozen hearings and worked tirelessly to improve the bill. The initial work on the pipeline bill during the special session will be done in House Finance. I will stay very engaged with the work. My primary focus on this legislation throughout the process has been to ensure that if this mega-project does proceed, it will include a Fairbanks spur included in the total project cost borne by the developers and that resulting natural gas is delivered to Fairbanks ratepayers at the same cost as residential customers in Southcentral. Fairbanks families’ energy costs, including electricity and heating oil, have soared to record levels over the past year with no hope of near term relief. People and small businesses are suffering immensely and near a breaking point.

Alaska Legislature adjourns regular session with special gasline session set for Thursday | Alaska Beacon Legislators ended their two-year regular term after passing 111 bills but failing to achieve the top objectives set by the House and Senate.
