Governor Mike Dunleavy and members of his administration, including the Directors of the Department of Revenue and the Office of Management and Budget, spoke with KNOM prior to the public forum on Wednesday.

Dunleavy’s approach to the budget, its potential impact on programs in Western Alaska, and the governor’s proposed constitutional amendments were some of the topics discussed.
