Sen. Pete Kelly, R-Fairbanks, answers a question from a member of the press corps during a Senate Majority press availability on Tuesday Jan. 17, 2016 in Juneau, Alaska.

The Republican-led Senate majority is more focused on cutting spending to close the state’s budget deficit than the new mostly Democratic House majority or independent Gov.
