Becky Bohrer May 19, 2021 - 4:36 PM JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Big issues Alaska lawmakers faced at the start of the regular session in January remain unsettled at the end, including the state budget and size of the check to be paid to residents from Alaska s oil-wealth fund. Lawmakers face two special sessions, the first of which starts Thursday, with Gov. Mike Dunleavy seeking resolution on the dividend and fiscal issues that have vexed the state for years. Legislators share the concerns but whether they can agree on a plan is unclear. Dunleavy called the first session to address the budget and the dividend paid from the nest-egg Alaska Permanent Fund. Senate President Peter Micciche has suggested taking more time to work on the dividend issue and tackling it later this summer, when lawmakers are set to meet for a second special session on revenue, spending and other issues.
