Dear Neighbors,

My Summer Newsletter will begin arriving in your mailboxes by the end of this week. I hope you find it informative and interesting. It contains the results of my session survey, and articles about the Operating and Capital Budgets and how you can help state government be more efficient.

However, due to cost, I was not able to include other information I thought you would want to have. So I have placed a longer version of the newsletter on my website at http://www.akrepublicans.org/bunde/dis-bunde.php#District.

The longer version contains, in addition to the articles in the mailed version:

• Articles on Alaska's financial situation and a discussion of why the Legislature did not pass any major revenue generating measures,
• More in-depth information about school funding and accountability,
• An overview of some of the important bills considered by the Senate Labor & Commerce Committee,
• The Governor's vetoes,
• Information about the Special Session, and
• A list of Senate District P projects that were funded in this year's Capital Budget.

If you have any questions or concerns about any of the information in either version of the newsletter, or would like to discuss an issue or problem, please contact me. I will be happy to help you.
