| Governor Sarah Palin's State of the State Address
Accountability
-- Hold schools accountable.
-- Focus on streamlined operations.
Business Involvement, Economic/Workforce Development, Finance
-- Need responsible resource development – including drilling, mining, timber and tourism – which will lead to more jobs.
-- Propose the Alaska Legacy Plan. I issued an administrative order this week calling for the state's first comprehensive economic strategy. Need to involve business leaders, local officials, and other stakeholders in this strategic action plan for private sector and government to stimulate and diversify the economy.
Career/Technical Education, Economic/Workforce Development
-- Focus on vo-tech and workforce development.
Early Learning
-- Focus on early learning.
Economic/Workforce Development, Finance
-- Build a gas line. Alaska's revenue, careers and our ability to diversify our economy – all hinge on the success of this great undertaking. I assure you: The line will be built.
Federal, Finance, Finance--State Budgets/Expenditures
-- Use the state's share of federal funds and Congress' stimulus package for vital needs-- such as infrastructure for our gas pipeline and the Kodiak Launch Facility.
Finance, Finance--State Budgets/Expenditures
-- Reduce spending by seven percent from last year's expenditures. Unless the price of a barrel of oil dramatically increases soon, the state faces a potential revenue shortfall in excess of a billion dollars this year.
-- Freeze hiring, exempting public safety, and restrict non-essential purchases. These actions reduce the draw on savings as we monitor revenue for the rest of 2009.
Finance, Finance--State Budgets/Expenditures, School Districts
-- Take the next step in our three-year education plan to offer every child the opportunity to learn and work and succeed.
-- Fully forward-fund all our school districts with more than a billion dollars.
Postsecondary
-- Focus on an enhanced University.
Special Education
-- Encourage opportunities for students with special needs.
