## Resource

Alaskas lawmakers face a critical deadline, with their session ending on May twentieth. Top priorities include the state budgets and a contentious debate on taxing the proposed gas pipeline. The operating budget has passed both chambers and is now in a conference committee. The Senate version offers a one thousand dollar Permanent Fund Dividend and energy relief payment, while the capital budget for roads and buildings moves forward. Pipeline tax talks face delays due to lack of cost details, and veto threats loom over a pension revival for state workers. Stay tuned as these final days shape Alaskas fiscal future.
