Gunnar Knapp and His ‘Budget Blocks’
On September 19th ISER and Alaska Common Ground co-hosted the "Forum on Alaska's Fiscal and Economic Future". ISER Director/Professor Gunnar Knapp went all out for the event and created some very large "Budget Blocks". They help visually demonstrate the relative scales of Alaska's budget, deficit, savings accounts, and various potential options for filling the deficit (e.g. income taxes, budget cuts, etc.). The blocks were a great way to aid understanding of some of the challenges faced trying to balance Alaska's budget. Gunnar is scheduled to give a talk at CBPP on October 9th about Alaska’s budget situation, held from 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. in Rasmuson Hall, Room 117.
