Jeff was once again joined by Juneau attorney Joe Geldhof. They discuss the recent actions in the legislature regarding the budget, the PFD issue and Governor Dunleavy's new 50/50 proposal, why the legislature can't seem to solve big problems, the cruise ship industry, the Alaska Industrial Development Export Authority, and a bunch of other random topics.
Jeff was joined by newly elected Senator Robb Myers (R - North Pole).
