## Resource

Lawmakers race against a Friday deadline to decide on a massive tax break for a controversial Alaska natural gas pipeline, as senators debate who bears the risk if the project fails—executives insist only Glenfarne and investors will suffer, even rejecting a $50 million safety net. While some senators question the need for any tax cut at all, others demand proof of cost savings, with proposed cuts hitting 89% and 96% for property taxes. With votes delayed and competing priorities, the Senate may not act before the session ends, while a separate spur line proposal could lower Fairbanks gas prices by $1,000 annually. Meanwhile, looming supply shortages could force expensive imports by 2031, and the governor warns of a potential emergency recall if no deal is reached this week.
