Alaska judge to hear arguments in budget case
By BECKY BOHRERJune 29, 2021 GMT
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) A state court judge on Tuesday scheduled arguments for next month involving whether Alaska Attorney General Treg Taylor’s lawsuit over the state budget process is moot and should be dismissed.
Superior Court Judge Herman Walker previously said he intended to dismiss the case after the state House Monday passed effective date provisions for a budget package that it had failed to adopt earlier this month. Walker set a Tuesday deadline for parties involved in the case to explain why he shouldn’t dismiss the matter as moot.

A bill aimed at increasing the development of Maine’s workforce through apprenticeships and other requirements underwent a lengthy public hearing Friday before the Legislature’s Labor and Housing Committee.
Under the bill, the state would give preference to subsidizing renewable energy projects by contractors that use an apprenticeship program, and pay a prevailing wage. Opponents say the measure could have unintended consequences.
The bill’s sponsor, Democratic Rep. Kevin Cuddy of Winterport, says Maine’s future growth depends on more skilled workers in the trades, such as plumbers and electricians.
“Apprenticeship is the most tried and true tool we have to build a trained and diverse, skilled workforce. We should utilize it,” he says.
