How does the Alaska Budget Report differ from other news sources? The Alaska Budget Report is written for those with a higher level of interest in the legislative process than the average newspaper reader. Because we publish weekly during the legislative session, we have time to dig into budget and policy issues. We do our own analysis--often revealing a different picture than the one state officials present. |
