Make licensing boards report on military spouse applications

SB12: "An Act relating to temporary courtesy licenses for military spouses."

Anchorage Daily News Summary: Alaska's Division of Business Licensing has had an expedited professional license application for military spouses. It's uncertain whether the independent licensing boards give this a priority--they are not required to. The Legislature passed a bill requiring that the boards report annually on how many service spouse applications are applied for and approved. This would shine a light on any laggard professional board, which should embarrass its members.

Legislative Outcome: Passed Senate 18-0-2 on May/3/21; Passed House 37-1-2 on May/19/21; Signed by Governor Mike Dunleavy on Sept/14/21

Bring gaming to Alaska: create hundreds of high-paying jobs

I'll be supporting legislation to bring gaming to Alaska. Alaska can no longer afford to deny itself a revenue stream available to nearly every other state in the nation. Along with enhancing revenue, gaming could create hundreds of high-paying jobs in some of our communities, and we would join a long list of states that have embraced gaming for some time.

The only path forward to new jobs is to encourage businesses

Alaska's economy is currently in recession and we have the highest unemployment rate in the country. The worst possible response to a struggling private sector is to impose a statewide income tax, the path Governor Walker wants to take. We can't tax our way to prosperity. The only way to restore our economy and bring new jobs to Alaska is to create a business climate that encourages investment, instead of making it more difficult.
