Public media is in the crosshairs. How will Alaska’s congressional delegation vote?

1 week ago | juneauempire.com | Nathaniel Herz

Should public media be spared the budget cutting axe of President Donald Trump and the congressional allies of the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE? I’m not going to directly answer that question myself, because I’m not an unbiased observer: I’ve worked for years as a reporter and contractor for Alaska Public Media, Anchorage’s public radio and television station.

A diesel spill along the Yukon raises fears about Hilcorp’s drilling program

A 1,000-gallon diesel spill earlier this month near the Yukon River has prompted renewed objections to plans by a privately held oil company to drill in the region later this year. The truck was operated not by Hilcorp, the oil company, but by Brice Inc., a Native-owned construction firm that has worked with Hilcorp on its preparations for the summer drilling efforts in the remote Yukon Flats basin, north of Fairbanks.

Why a surge in gold prices won’t solve Alaska’s budget woes

3 weeks ago | ktoo.org | Nathaniel Herz

When oil prices rise, the state of Alaska gets a windfall in taxes and royalties. When gold prices rise — as they have, in dramatic fashion, this spring — state revenue barely ticks up. Industry critics often draw this comparison, arguing that the huge mining corporations that operate in Alaska aren’t compensating the state enough for the minerals they produce. Those minerals yielded just $28.5 million from Alaska’s mining license tax, on average, during each of the past four fiscal years.

Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy flew to Taiwan last month to pitch business and government leaders on Alaska's state-sponsored LNG export project. The same day Dunleavy and other Alaska officials arrived in Taipei on the unannounced trip, his office received an email from China's vice consul in San Francisco, Ba Yanfeng. The consulate was aware that Dunleavy was leading a trip to the "province" of Taiwan, and Chinese government officials wanted a meeting with his chief of staff, Ba said.
