Since the last Capitol Report was posted, a great deal has happened in Juneau. The House passed an operating budget on March 12 and sent it to the Senate a few days later for consideration by that body. On March 25, after reviewing the House鈥檚 budget proposal, the Senate鈥檚 University Budget Subcommittee forwarded its recommendations on the University of Alaska鈥檚 operating budget to the full Senate Finance Committee.
The subcommittee proposed reducing the size of the cut made by the House from $25 million to $20 million. The subcommittee also proposed adding $1.86 million to UA鈥檚 budget to continue funding the Alaska Center for Unmanned Aircraft Systems Integration.
