May God bless you. And may God bless the beautiful state of Alaska. #AKSOTB — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Walker @BillWalkerAk

Let’s seize the opportunity this challenge provides to improve the lives of Alaskans today, tomorrow, and for the next 100 yrs. #AKSOTB — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Walker @BillWalkerAk

My office will take 2x the budget cuts as other depts. Today Gov’s staff is smallest it’s been in 15 yrs. We will do more with less. #AKSOTB — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Walker @BillWalkerAk

We have to fix our short-term problems, but stay focused on our long-term opportunities. #AKSOTB — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Walker @BillWalkerAk

When we unlock the trillions of dollars of resources in our state, AK will be well on its way to fiscal stability. #AKSOTB — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Walker @BillWalkerAk

I will assess every avenue to expedite the building of a large volume gasline in Alaska. #AKSOTB — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Walker @BillWalkerAk

I’ve told both Obama’s cabinet & the oil industry that I will be very aggressive in getting more oil in our pipeline. #AKSOTB — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Walker @BillWalkerAk

I want new indep oil companies on the N.Slope but we need to lower the bar of entry if we want to attract new wave of business. #AKSOTB — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Walker @BillWalkerAk

I’m a carpenter w/ a law degree. But I'll save some tools for budget balancing & revenue generating in the toolbox for a later day #AKSOTB — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Walker @BillWalkerAk

AK could see revenue from natural gas by 2023. This is my highest long-term priority strategy for affordable energy & state revenue. #AKSOTB — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Walker @BillWalkerAk

I’ve asked Commissioner of Revenue to explore ways to safely put AK’s wealth to work w/out jeopardizing or spending financial assets #AKSOTB — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Walker @BillWalkerAk

Last yr AK earned $2.4B more from financial assets than from petroleum revenue. We have a cash flow problem, not a wealth problem #AKSOTB — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Walker @BillWalkerAk

I’ve asked Corrections, Pub Safety, Law, the court and public defender systems to work together to reduce costs & keep Alaskans safe #AKSOTB — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Walker @BillWalkerAk

I asked the leaders of Dept. Labor, the University, & Dept. of Education to look at postsecondary education holistically. #AKSOTB — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Walker @BillWalkerAk

We can’t accept business as usual. Commissioners will be working together to find creative solutions using existing resources. #AKSOTB — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Walker @BillWalkerAk

I asked my Commissioners to see what 25% budget reductions would look like in 4 yrs. These are deep cuts that I won’t take lightly #AKSOTB — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Walker @BillWalkerAk

Like Governor Wally Hickel used to say, “We can’t cut our way to prosperity.” We must be ready to make prudent investments. #AKSOTB — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Walker @BillWalkerAk

With deep agency reductions and a minimal capital budget my administration’s FY16 endorsed budget reduces gen fund spending by $550M #AKSOTB — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Walker @BillWalkerAk

Medicaid expansion will result in direct savings for corrections, behavioral health, and assistance programs. #AKSOTB — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Walker @BillWalkerAk

We all want Alaskans to be as productive as possible. But people can’t work, hut, or fish unless they are healthy. #AKSOTB — PolitiTweet.org
