Alaska’s Big Battles This Week | Anchorage News

About this episode

Alaska’s political scene is heating up as Governor Dunleavy pushes for a third special session on the LNG project, rejects a tax compromise that targeted Hilcorp, and vetoes campaign donation limits—setting the stage for a voter referendum this August. Meanwhile, a major Medicaid fraud case has emerged, with 15 Alaskans and businesses accused of stealing $1.8 million, including assisted living operators, a dentist, and family caregivers. With candidates like Adam Crum, Tom Begich, and Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins weighing in on energy and equity, Alaska’s future hangs in the balance amid big bets, big money, and big consequences.
