The challenge to state agencies will be to continue providing Alaskans with the quality and level of services they have come to expect--but with less dollars to pay for them. At the same time, it is important Alaskans realize less is being spent on government. This continues the trend I began when I came into office. From Fiscal Year 1991 to Fiscal Year 1994, the operating budget has been reduced nearly 13 percent in real dollars. One of the greatest contributions of this legislative session is slowing the runaway growth of the operating budget's formula-driven programs. For too long, these programs have been considered off limits and little effort has been made to control these automatic year- to-year increases. But this session, the Legislature stepped up to the plate. It made tough choices. It made the kind of landmark decisions in passing legislation I introduced that will have tremendous long-term impact. I applaud them for their courage. Sincerely, /s/ Walter J.
