The House Education Committee hasn’t met since Feb. 14, denying Gov. Mike Dunleavy a channel of support for his ideas.
During Alaska’s biggest education debate in years, the House Education Committee, one of the main avenues for debating policy in the Capitol, has been silent.“It’s kind of a tragedy that the education committee is not meeting when we’re still working on the most important priority of this session for both the majority and the minority,” said Rep. Rebecca Himschoot, I-Sitka and a minority-caucus member of the committee.
Neither Allard or Ruffridge were willing to explain the reasons for the committee’s lapse when interviewed this week.Other members of the House were willing to explain, but only without being named because they fear retaliation by the co-chairs. Similar disagreements have occurred in the past, and co-chairs frequently disagree about what bills to calendar for the upcoming week, but the length of the impasse and its timing was notable, multiple legislators said.
The committee currently holds 24 bills; none of those can advance in normal order without a committee meeting.
