I know that you understand my life, that sometimes my heart weighs heavy with trouble. Right now I lay all these things before you. I breathe in, safe in the knowledge that I am held by grace. I breathe out, knowing that I am held secure in your arms. And I wait on you. For you are all truth, you are overflowing love, you are a beacon of hope and a fortress of faith. Lord, I choose to be attentive to your voice. May I be alert to your Spirit's guiding as I journey onward with you. I love you, Father.

Chapter No. 3, FSSLA 2019 [Effective Date: See Chapter] Senate Bill 19, as passed by the legislature, contained operating and capital appropriations for Fiscal Year 2020, totaling $1.242 billion. The capital budget totals $1.202 billion, including $58.4 million in general funds. Through line-item vetoes, I have reduced the operating and capital appropriations in SB 19 by $10.6 million. Unfortunately, the capital budget I received back from the legislature lacked the support needed to fully fund projects and programs critical to the development of Alaska. I look forward to a swift resolution on the 2019 Permanent Fund Dividend, so the legislature can quickly move on to fully funding a capital budget to support jobs and families across Alaska, and ensure Federal funds are not forfeited and critical road, infrastructure, and life, health, safety projects receive funding. Attached you will find the report detailing my line-item vetoes. Sincerely, /s/ Michael J. Dunleavy Governor" MESSAGES FROM THE SENATE HCR 201 A message dated July 9 was received stating the Senate passed: HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 201 Authorizing the House of Representatives and the Senate to recess for a period of more than three days.
