Alaska Revenue and Spending History
1975: Oil money starts flowing…
…State government starts growing
1987 – 2006: 20 years of fairly stable revenues by today’s standard…
…20 years of flat spending
“Please give us just one more oil boom. We promise not to…”
2006 - 2014: Our prayers are answered!
“Uh, …Here’s the thing…”
That’s an average of 15% budget growth per year!
2014: Oil prices crash…
…but budget cuts did not match

Why Governor Dunleavy’s Plan?
• The cost of doing nothing is too high
• Without controls, the government always grows
• Without protection, the PFD will go away
• Without a seat at the table, taxes are coming
• How do we accomplish these goals?
•Constitutional Amendments!

Constitutional Amendments
Three constitutional amendments were introduced to provide sustainability, predictability, and affordability for Alaska:
1. Set an annual spending and savings rule to keep expenditures in line and not allow spending to increase when revenues are high
2. Require a vote of the people before broad-based taxes can be implemented
3. Constitutionally enshrine the PFD – Alaska is an owner state
15
Governor’s Constitutional Amendments
1) Appropriation Limit (SJR6/HJR5):Caps Spending at a Sustainable Level
16
• The current constitutional spending limit has grown to $10 Billion –clearly ineffective (Article 9, Section 16)
• Caps spending at a sustainable level and allows for growth based on population and inflation
• Some exceptions to the limit including PFDs, disasters, G.O. bonds
• Capital spending is not an exception
• Excess revenues above the limit are automatically saved for future generations
2) Check & Balance on Taxes (SJR 4/HJR 5)
17
• If the legislature increases a tax or passes a new tax, the voters must approve
• If the people by initiative increase a tax or pass a new tax, the legislature must approve
3) Permanent Fund Dividend (SJR 5/HJR 6)
• “Absent another constitutional amendment, the Permanent Fund dividend program must compete for annual legislative funding just as other state programs.” Wielechowski v. State, 403 P.3d 1141, 1152 (Alaska 2017)
• Establishes in the Constitution the right of Alaskans to receive a PFD
• No Appropriation Necessary to Transfer Money to Pay the PFD
• No Veto of the PFD is Possible
• Any change in the PFD must be approved by the voters
