Walker to discuss fiscal plan at Juneau Assembly meeting Thursday

Gov. Bill Walker is stopping by City Hall on Thursday to meet with the Juneau Assembly to discuss his fiscal plan amid the state’s multi-billion dollar budget deficit.

Walker’s budget vetoes have begun to trickle down to local governments, including Juneau’s.

Last month, city officials began to address the city’s nearly $5 million budget deficit, which also affects the school district’s transportation and the per-pupil formula funding it receives from the state.

In July, Walker phoned into an Anchorage Assembly meeting to apologize for his vetoes’ effects on local government. He also spoke about his fiscal plan at a Fairbanks North Star Borough Assembly meeting this spring.

The Juneau Assembly’s meeting starts at noon in Assembly Chambers. The meeting will be broadcast live on KTOO-FM and streamed on our website.
