III, sec. 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill that would increase the fee for a business license. The current fee has been in effect since 1949. The current revenues collected fall far short of the services provided to Alaskan businesses. The increase in fees is in line with what other states charge. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure. Sincerely, /s/ Frank H. Murkowski Governor"
