An excerpt from their statement:
The likely impacts from the “Big, Beautiful Bill” are particularly ugly for our home state, Alaska: Nearly 40,000 Alaskans could lose health care coverage, thousands of families will go hungry through loss of benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, and the shift in costs from the federal government to the state will plunge our budget into a severe deficit, cripple our state economy and make it harder to provide basic services.
Our State Cannot Survive This Bill
By Bryce Edgmon and Cathy Giessel
Mr. Edgmon, an Independent, is speaker of the Alaska House of Representatives and lives in Dillingham. Ms. Giessel, a Republican, is the majority leader for the Alaska Senate Bipartisan Coalition and lives in Anchorage.
We shall overcome,
Ed
