## Resource

Governor Dunleavy just vetoed a bill that nearly every lawmaker supported — a move that’s sparking debate across Alaska. Senate Bill 63 aimed to add a sixth member to the Local Boundary Commission, specifically someone from unorganized areas — which cover half the state’s land but only 10% of its population. Proponents argued it would give remote Alaskans a stronger voice in shaping their future. But opponents, including current commission chair and organized borough residents, warned it would disrupt the commission’s balance and objectivity. The governor’s official reason? He said it would create deadlocks with an even-numbered commission and strip him of chair-appointing power. For now, the commission remains at five members — and the fight over how to fairly represent Alaska’s vast, diverse regions rages on.
