@GovDunleavy:

I am happy to say that maintenance for a vital transportation link along the Kuskokwim River will be fully funded under my FY23 budget. I had the opportunity to travel the Kuskokwim Ice Road for the first time on a recent visit to the Villages of Napakiak and Napaskiak. All those hundreds of miles of drivable ice are truly an Alaskan feat. I was impressed by the job the crew from the Village of Napaimute was doing and I heard from many residents about the importance of the road during the winter months for health, safety, commerce, and recreation. I’m glad we have identified funding to cover this expense from existing authorities.
