Earthquake relief would gain funding and public education would lose funding in updated budget requests Gov. Mike Dunleavy submitted to the Legislature Monday.
One supplemental budget request includes $37 million in state spending for the earthquake response. Another $102 million will come from the federal government.
A second request would actually save the state money — nearly $9 million. But that includes cutting $20 million for public schools that lawmakers agreed to as part of the budget deal last spring. That troubled Anchorage Democratic Rep. Harriet Drummond.
