These educators aren’t just babysitters — they’re shaping young minds and enabling Alaska’s economy. The legislature heard from over a thousand voices and approved this funding as essential. Without it, families face chaos, businesses lose talent, and the state risks losing critical local jobs — especially as big projects like Alaska LNG ramp up. Override the veto — Alaska’s future depends on it. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
