Alaskans giving public testimony this week on the House’s budget proposal oppose cuts to many areas.
The Republican-led majority released a budget this week that included 145 million dollars more in cuts than Governor Bill Walker’s budget. It would reduce spending on everything from public libraries to senior benefits.
Roughly 100 people testified Monday and Tuesday on the budget.
The cuts include reduced grants to mental health and addiction treatment programs.
