Rep. Johnson conversing with Rep. Hawker
Hello District 28 Friends. The Second Session of the 26th Alaska State Legislature is two thirds over and we are going full speed ahead to accomplish our goals by Session end, April 18th. In addition to our regular work load, add the number of constituent appointments, special interest groups flying in and budget subcommittee meetings required to get the Operating Budget to the floor of the House all have us putting in 12+ hour days. I am really proud of the work we have accomplished, particularly in the House Resources Committee. We have started meeting in the evenings and on some weekends to make sure any critical legislation is evaluated appropriately. The complexities of the oil and gas taxation legislation require a great deal of care and scrutiny in order for us to put a fix on potential problems with correct interpretations of what the proposed legislation will do. You can see highlights of our efforts on the links provided in this blog.
