Summary
Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy just vetoed a bipartisan bill aimed at boosting public transit’s role in state planning, arguing the state already complies and fears prioritizing transit could skew federal funding. But sponsor Rep. Genevive Mina counters that rural transit has been left out of federal dollars and that clearer coordination is needed to unify Alaska’s fragmented transit systems — including rail, ferries, and buses — into a cohesive statewide strategy. This veto marks Dunleavy’s 12th of the session, with more bills still pending his decision. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
