The following letter dated June 27 was received from the Office of the                                                          
Governor:                                                                                                                       
                                                                                                                                
Dear Honorable Members of the Alaska State Legislature,

I write to provide additional explanation of my decision to veto Senate                                                         
Bill 183 (SB 183)  that is well grounded in our Constitution, the                                                               
principle of separation of powers, and the need for productive                                                                  
governance over political theater.                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                
At its core, SB 183 presents serious constitutional concerns by                                                                 
overstepping the boundaries that separate the executive and legislative                                                         
branches. Alaska’s framers were deliberate in establishing a strong                                                             
executive - one insulated from undue legislative control and designed                                                           
to act independently in carrying out the laws and administration of our                                                         
state. SB 183 erodes this structure by granting legislative entities                                                            
authority over executive actions in ways that conflict with the                                                                 
constitutional design of our government.                                                                                        
                                                                                                                                
More troubling, however, are the baseless and reckless insinuations                                                             
made by some legislators during the consideration and passage of this                                                           
bill. Claims or implications that this administration is acting                                                                 
unethically or illegally are unfounded and unsupported by any                                                                   
evidence. Such rhetoric undermines not only the integrity of our                                                                
institutions, but also the public’s trust in its government, including the                                                      
very legislators pushing such baseless claims. It must stop.                                                                    
                                                                                                                                
If the concern behind the introduction of SB 183 is truly one of access                                                         
to, or formatting of information for legislative review, such matters                                                           
can be resolved constructively. My administration is open to working                                                            
with the Legislature and the Legislative Audit Division to ensure the                                                           
necessary resources and information and data management systems are                                                             
in place. But if the unfounded insinuations and accusations continue, I                                                         
must make it clear: I will not tolerate efforts to politicize the routine                                                       
functions of government or to weaponize the process for headlines.                                                              
                                                                                                                                
If any member of this body sincerely believes that illegal or unethical                                                         
actions have occurred, I encourage you to put those allegations in                                                              
writing and follow proper legal or procedural channels. If not, then I                                                          
urge you - out of respect for the Constitution, the offices we hold, and                                                        
the people we serve - to bring this damaging and irresponsible rhetoric                                                         
to an end.
