A comprehensive education bill that would raise the base student funding amount for Alaska school districts was passed by the Senate Monday morning with an 18-1 vote.
Alaska Senate paves passage of bill after House unites behind education package with $680 BSA increaseJUNEAU, Alaska -
“It was a compromise,” Senate Rules Chair Bill Wielechowski said on Thursday. “And I’m ready to move forward and take on the next topic. Because we got a lot of big topics we’ve got to discuss. And big issues we’ve got to deal with in the state.” Wielechowski said since the compromise produced an omnibus bill covering a wide range of topics, and not an appropriation bill, he said the governor would not just be able to veto the $680 BSA increase without vetoing the entire bill.“As you know, the bill still must pass the Senate on a concurrence vote or go through the conference committee process,” Turner said. “When the bill passes the legislature and is transmitted to his office, he will review it and make his decision.
The rejection of the House Rules Committee’s bill meant having to start from the beginning Wednesday, as lawmakers attached a series of amendments to a Senate rural school internet bill, known as SB140. “I think, to a certain extent, we have lost the ability to compromise,” McCabe added. “The original bill was a good compromise. This is not so good a compromise. Somewhere in the middle, I get that. We’re working. We’re trying to make it work. But I’d like to remind people, there were lots of deals made in the last 24 hours. And the only thing you have in this building is your word.”
