House Adjourns at 5:26 PM, Monday, April 30
Weekly Coffee Meetings to Resume
Dear Neighbors,
Yesterday at 5:26 pm the house adjourned from special session. With the passage of legislation toughening laws against sex trafficking and the Governor’s unprecedented withdrawal of his oil tax bill, the only issue remaining before the legislature was legislation promoting a small diameter gas pipeline from the North Slope to Nikiski.
Many of us in the legislature were not willing to turn over sweeping powers to a quasi-governmental agency and leave the state on the hook for a several billion dollar project. The 36-page bill would also have allowed for open-ended pricing potentially leading to massive increases in natural gas prices for Alaskan consumers.
A scaled down version of the bill allowing for more checks and balances and protecting the legislature’s oversight authority was considered. When it became apparent there was no more room to compromise, adjournment became inevitable.
Tuesday Morning Coffee with Chris to Resume
I am looking forward to getting back to Anchorage and getting down to business working on local issues that are important to you. I will be resuming my usual Tuesday morning constituent meetings starting next week. If you have any issues you would like to discuss or any thoughts you would like to share, please stop by.
Coffee with Chris
Every Tuesday Morning, 7:00 – 7:30 AM
Elim Café – 561 West Dimond Boulevard
Or, you can call me anytime at 269-0240 or send me an email at Rep.Chris.Tuck@legis.state.ak.us if I can assist you in any way.
As always, I’m here for you, so please keep in touch on matters important to you and your family!
Warm regards,
