Governor's transmittal letter dated January 14: Dear President Stevens: Under the authority of Article III, Section 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill relating to the State's operating budget for Fiscal Year 2012 (FY 2012). My budget proposal for FY 2012 continues to focus on fostering jobs and economic development. The framework for the budget is based on our constitutional responsibilities for spending - education, public safety, transportation, and responsible resource development. I am proposing a balanced budget that maintains budget discipline by limiting the growth of State agency budgets, funding statutorily required programs and services, and making strategic investments to promote responsible, sustainable development. With budget discipline, targeted spending, and managing our savings, Alaska's cash reserves and excellent bond rating will provide us with economic opportunities for years to come. I look forward to working with the Legislature to finalize the operating budget for the upcoming fiscal year. Sincerely, /s/ Sean Parnell Governor SB 48 SENATE BILL NO. 48 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled:
