HB 268                                                                       
As I stated in my state of the budget address in January, it is time for       
our state government to regain its technological edge.  To attempt to          
get closer to that goal, I have included funds for integrating and             
updating the criminal justice information system and extending our             
statewide communication technology.                                            
                                                                               
In order to maintain stability for local communities and assist them in        
funding their highest priority capital projects, I have included $20           
million for the capital matching grant program.  This program has              
attained a great deal of support for its ability to provide funding for all    
communities throughout Alaska in a manner that addresses their real            
needs.                                                                         
                                                                               
I am also transmitting to you the Alaska Court System's three top              
priorities for your review.                                                    
                                                                               
							Sincerely,
