Alaska Parents Slam Reps for Prioritizing Oil Giant

0:00Alaska parents are calling out their state reps for talking a big game on education while voting to protect a multi-million dollar tax break for A. Texas oil giant. Linda Shard from Anchorage fired off a letter slamming representatives Hall and Galvin for siding with Republicans to keep this corporate handout. Alive for Hillcorp. These reps claim they back schools, but their no vote on closing the loophole means the state misses out on cash that could fix classroom shortages and support programs. It's hitting kids hard, leaving Alaska too broke to deliver the education help everyone agrees is needed, all to shield a billionaire owner's profits. Shard points out Hillcorp's heavy political pull in the state, and she's urging Hall and Galvin to flip their stance next time his vote pops up. Folks like her are pushing for real action over empty words, keeping the pressure on to prioritize students over special interests. That's the story for today Anchorage News Today, driven by AI, I'm Corey with the story.
