Alaska: President Biden to Sign Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Monday; Benefits the bipartisan infrastructure bill will provide to Alaska Posted & Edited By MARY KAUFFMAN – On Monday, November 15, 2021, President Joe Biden will host a bipartisan bill signing ceremony for his Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The President will be joined by Members of Congress who helped write this landmark economic growth bill and by a diverse group of leaders who fought for its passage across the country, ranging from Governors and Mayors of both parties to labor union and business leaders. The bill was presented to the President on November 08, 2021.

At the signing ceremony, President Biden will highlight how he is following through on his commitment to rebuild the middle class and the historic benefits the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal will deliver for American families: millions of good-paying, union jobs for working people, improvements in our ports and transportation systems that strengthen supply chains, high-speed internet for every American, clean water for all children and families, the biggest investments in our roads and bridges in generations, the most significant investment in mass transit ever, and unprecedented investments in clean energy infrastructure.  

In the coming weeks, the President, Vice President, and Cabinet will continue to travel the country to communicate how the law will help communities, grow the economy, and position America to compete in the 21st century.

The U.S. House passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act on November 05, 2021. This is legislation U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and her bipartisan group of nine other Senators worked for months to negotiate, draft, and pass through the full Senate. The infrastructure package will now head to the President to be signed into law.

Murkowski said, “This bipartisan infrastructure bill is one of the most consequential legislative efforts I have worked on in my Senate career. I am incredibly proud and humbled to have played a leading role in the creation of this legislation. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act recognizes that Alaska is decades behind in having the basic infrastructure which many states in the Lower 48 take for granted. It addresses that gap by sending billions of dollars back home to put Alaskans to work building roads and wastewater systems, fixing bridges, and pioneering innovative transportation and energy technologies, all of which will benefit generations to come."

“I want to thank the many Alaskans who worked with me in writing provisions that address the needs of both our urban and rural communities. And a big thank you to my friend and colleague Congressman Don Young, for using his influence and platform in the House to garner support to get this across the finish line. As this historic legislation now heads to the President for his signature, I look forward to working with our federal partners to make these visions on paper become a reality,” said Murkowski.

Senator Murkowski recently highlighted some of the benefits the bipartisan infrastructure package will bring to Alaska - everything from making critical investments in our roads, bridges, rail, ferries, ports, airports, energy, water systems, and broadband, to strengthening electric grid resiliency and minerals supply chains,  reforming the permitting process, and providing for wildfire mitigation. 

Alaska Congressman Don Young released a prepared statement following his yes vote on the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which passed the House late at night on November 05, 2021.

“Last night [Nov. 5th], I voted in support of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, commonly referred to as the bipartisan infrastructure bill. Our country is an economic powerhouse in no small part due to our historical support for infrastructure and other surface transportation projects. Perhaps more than anyone else, Alaskans know just how vital reliable infrastructure is to stay connected with one another and secure upward economic mobility. But I will be honest: when I take a look at some of our roads, bridges, and ports, I do not like what I see. I truly believe that this bipartisan infrastructure legislation may be our last best chance to make the federal investments necessary to modernize and strengthen America's infrastructure needs for the next century and beyond.

Was this bill perfect? No, but truthfully, few pieces of legislation are. However, I firmly believe that we cannot sacrifice the good for the perfect. Very frankly, inaction on infrastructure risks our nation's fundamental economic independence and strength.

Alaska is unlike any other state in the union. Our unique, often harsh terrain means we have very different infrastructure needs than the Lower 48. I am very pleased by the historic investments this legislation makes in Alaska. The bipartisan infrastructure bill authorizes $3.5 billion in federal Highway funding for Alaska over five years. This means we can rebuild, maintain, and construct new roads and highways to better serve Alaskans and keep them safe. The benefits for our state do not stop at highway funding alone.

The Alaska Marine Highway System (AMHS) is an integral part of Southeast's transportation portfolio, and I have been a long-time supporter of their operations. In fact, it was my own legislation that made it possible for the AMHS to qualify as a "highway" for the purposes of federal funding in the first place. This bipartisan infrastructure bill builds on this progress by providing $1 billion for essential ferry service to rural Alaskan communities. Additionally, it provides $73 million for the construction of new ferries for Alaska, while providing funding for an electric ferry pilot program to help our fleet run cleaner. Finally, for the very first time, the AMHS, will be eligible to receive future federal Highway aid funds for operation and repair. To say that this bill is a game-changer for Southeast is an understatement -- this is a once-in-a-generation investment opportunity for Southeast Alaska's families and economy.

In addition to the support for highways and ferries, the bill we passed provides significant funding to support ports of all sizes in Alaska, including the Port of Alaska in Anchorage. Alaska also stands to receive $250 million for remote and subsistence harbor construction, which will help rural communities off the road system receive a true lifeline. From food and gasoline to medical supplies and raw materials, ports are essential for Alaskans in remote areas. In addition, this legislation takes needed action to fund the Coast Guard's unfunded priority list, which will benefit Coast Guard service members in places like Kodiak, Seward, and Ketchikan.

In conjunction with hard infrastructure, this bipartisan bill will fund projects of great importance to Alaska. The COVID-19 pandemic shined a spotlight on the need for fast and reliable broadband access. I welcome the bill's investments in our state's rural broadband connectivity, and I am confident that students, businesses, and families will benefit greatly from this broadband funding. I am especially glad that our Alaska Native communities will receive needed support to bolster their own transportation programs. This is especially critical as they work to recover from the devastation caused by the pandemic.

The Denali Commission is a crucially important agency to Alaskans. Since its creation by Congress in 1998, the Denali Commission has done needed work to provide utilities, infrastructure, and economic support throughout Alaska. Ensuring the Commission has the resources necessary to carry out its mission has always been one of my highest priorities. The bipartisan bill we passed last night authorizes $75 million for the Denali Commission to keep up its hard work on behalf of Alaskans.

I have made it repeatedly clear that I do not like the way this bill made it to the House Floor. It should have moved through regular order, allowing Transportation Chairman DeFazio and Ranking Member Graves to improve the bill. But there are no do-overs now, and too much of America’s infrastructure is already in the 11th hour of its usefulness. This is a solid piece of legislation that will help set the stage for the next century of American competitiveness. Alaskans have known for many years how close transportation is to my heart. In my life, I’ve driven tanks, captained boats, mushed dogs, and flown planes, among other forms of transportation. I have always stood up for our state’s unique needs, and it is my great hope that this bipartisan infrastructure legislation helps America continue to lead the world and better compete with our adversaries.

I am grateful to everyone who helped make this bill a reality, including our own Senators Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan. I urge the President to swiftly sign it into law so that we can get people to work, and build the infrastructure future our great nation deserves.” [end of Rep. Young's prepared statement]

Alaska: INTERIOR DEPARTMENT FINALIZES FIRST FEDERAL LAND ALLOTMENTS TO ALASKA NATIVE VIETNAM-ERA VETERANS Posted & Edited By MARY KAUFFMAN  – The U.S. Department of the Interior announced last week that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has finalized the first federal land allotments as part of the Alaska Native Vietnam-era Veteran Land Allotment Program.

“We have a sacred obligation to America’s veterans. I know the sacrifices made by those who serve in our military, and we are committed to ensuring the rights of our Alaska Native Vietnam-era veterans,” said Secretary Deb Haaland, whose father served during the Vietnam War.

Haaland said,“The Department will continue to move forward expeditiously so that Alaska Native Vietnam-era veterans are able to select the land allotments they are owed, with an expansive selection area.”

The Alaska Native Vietnam Era Veterans Land Allotment Program was established by the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act of 2019. Through this program, the Bureau of Land Management can provide eligible individuals the opportunity to select an allotment of up to 160 acres from vacant, unappropriated, and unreserved federal lands in Alaska or lands selected by the state or Native corporations, if that entity agrees to relinquish that portion of their selection. This represents the third time that federally managed land has been offered to Alaska Native Vietnam veterans, who did not have access to land allotments while serving during the Vietnam War.

The BLM has worked with the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs, as well as Interior’s Bureau of Indian Affairs to identify eligible veterans and their families. To date, over 1,400 veterans and families have been contacted to apply, with almost 130 applications received. Each application can involve hours of consultation with the applicant by BLM staff, followed by weeks or more of researching files and adjudication. Allotments can be selected through December 29, 2025.

U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) issued the following statement yesterday after the Department of the Interior (DOI) announced it has finalized the first federal land allotments under the Alaska Native Vietnam-era Veteran Land Allotment Program. Murkowski worked with Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK) and Congressman Don Young (R-AK), as well as Alaskan champions such as Nelson Angapak, Sr., to establish the new allotments program through her omnibus public lands bill in 2019. 

“We worked hard to enact this program, and after a rocky start in this administration, I’m pleased the Department is making these allotments to our Native Veterans,” said Senator Murkowski. “This is a small sign of progress, but nowhere near enough. It remains imperative that Interior assist all eligible individuals to fairly select and access lands near where they actually live. Secretary Haaland can help make millions of additional acres of land available for allotments by reconsidering the indefinite pause it placed on the last administration’s Public Land Orders. It’s long past time for these veterans and their families to have the lands they deserve, and I will continue to push DOI to allow for that without delay.”

Murkowski has consistently urged the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) to fulfill its decades-overdue promise to eligible veterans and their families while making additional lands available to them for selection. This could be accomplished by lifting outdated Public Land Orders (PLOs), not postponing the revocation of PLOs already scheduled to be lifted, or by making a small percentage of National Wildlife Refuge System lands in Alaska available for selection. In a prepared statement Congressman Don Young (R-AK) wrote, “Alaska Native Vietnam Veterans put their lives on the line for our nation, and for too long, the federal government fell shamefully short of making good on the promises of land allotments made to them. I am very proud that with the tireless support of Alaska Native advocates and the Alaska Delegation, we were finally able to rectify this injustice.” 

Young said, “Yesterday [November 04, 2021], it was my great honor to join the BLM as the first land allotments were finalized and signed. This has been a long time coming, and I encourage eligible veterans to submit interest to the BLM as soon as they can. I am grateful to Senators Murkowski and Sullivan for their hard work and partnership on this critical issue. I want to especially thank Nelson Angapak, whose dogged advocacy and commitment to his fellow Alaska Native Vietnam veterans helped make this possible. In the years ahead, I look forward to well-earned land finally being allotted to these brave Alaskans and remarkable Americans.”

“Thursday’s [November 04, 2021] announcement granting Native Vietnam Veterans the land they were promised over 50 years ago is long overdue,” said Alaska State Senator Josh Revak. 

Revak said, “As Alaskans and Americans, we owe these veterans far more than a debt of gratitude for the blood, sweat and tears they’ve given to this country – we owe them the land that was promised. And while we may not be able to turn back the clock and make these veterans whole, in the immortal words of Dr. King, ‘the time is always right to do what's right.’ I’d like to thank Congressman Young for his strong advocacy on this issue, as well as our federal agencies for taking action.”

The program existed for 65 years before it was repealed in 1971 with the passage of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA). ANCSA granted large land allotments to newly formed Native Corporations who then assumed the responsibility of granting land allocations to their individual members as the organizations saw fit. 

It would take another ten years to settle all the pending land claims made prior to ANCSA, but the federal application period for individual Alaska Natives to apply ended in December 1971 with ANCSA’s passage. - More...

Alaska: U.S. Appeals Court Upholds Block on Biden’s OSHA Vaccine Mandate for Private Employers' Alaska, Other States Also Sue to Stop OSHA Vaccine Rules - The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals Thursday night upheld its block on President Biden’s vaccine mandate for private businesses.

In the decision filed November 12, 2021, 5th Circuit Judge Kurt D. Engelhardt wrote (pdf) in the decision: “From economic uncertainty to workplace strife, the mere specter of the mandate has contributed to untold economic upheaval in recent months. Of course, the principles at stake when it comes to the mandate are not reducible to dollars and cents. The public interest is also served by maintaining our constitutional structure and maintaining the liberty of individuals to make intensely personal decisions according to their own convictions - even, or perhaps particularly, when those decisions frustrate government officials."

The mandate will likely be heard now by the US Supreme Court. In a posting on FaceBook U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK) wrote on November 13th that he as well as the 5th Circuit clearly expect that it will be declared unconstitutional.

Sullivan wrote regarding the decision, "It’s for these exact reasons that I have been fighting the mandate and why I have been respectfully calling on business leaders in Alaska and America to refrain from firing employees until the litigation on the mandate has been fully resolved."

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals first 'stayed' the Biden Administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for businesses with 100 or more workers on November 6, 2021. The emergency stay lifts the requirement by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration, (OSHA), that workers be vaccinated by Jan. 4 or seek weekly testing and wear face masks at work. The decision stops the mandate from taking effect pending further action by the court.

“I applaud the federal court’s decision to block federal overreach,” said Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy after the Nov. 6th decision. “It’s an important victory as it validates what states like Alaska have been saying all along–that the recent federal mandate by President Biden to coerce individuals to get a vaccine, or else, is unconstitutional.”

In the decision filed November 6th,the 5th Circuit wrote, “Because the petitions give cause to believe there are grave statutory and constitutional issues with the Mandate, the Mandate is hereby STAYED pending further action by this court.”

This 5th Circuit case is brought by the states of Texas, Mississippi, Utah, Louisiana, South Carolina, and Utah.  According to the Louisiana Attorney General, the decision applies nationwide.    

Some 27 states filed lawsuits challenging the rule in several circuits. Several businesses have also challenged the mandate in the 5th Circuit.

Some 27 states filed lawsuits challenging the rule in several circuits. Several businesses have also challenged the mandate in the 5th Circuit.

Earlier, Governor Dunleavy issued an Administrative Order on November 2nd, directing State agencies to oppose unconstitutional actions, including vaccine mandates by Biden. 

The state of Alaska is among the many states filing lawsuits. Alaska filed a federal lawsuit in a different circuit, the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, to block the implementation of this COVID-19 vaccine mandate on private employers and states like Alaska that have a state Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) plan.

The vaccine requirement is part of an Emergency Temporary Standard published by OSHA today.

Alaska Attorney General Treg Taylor recently joined attorneys general from 10 other states to request the Eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals block OSHA from implementing the rule until after the courts decide on its legality. OSHA’s emergency temporary standard would make it mandatory for all private businesses and certain governments with more than 100 employees to be either vaccinated for COVID-19 or tested weekly. Missouri and the coalition of states are the first to file suit against the vaccine mandate on private employers. Five private employers joined the challenge as well. - More...

Alaska: Alaska Joins Case to Stop CMS Vaccine Mandate - Alaska joined a coalition of states November 10, 2021, in a lawsuit to block a federal government effort to make health care providers force their employees to take the COVID-19 vaccine.

A new Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service (CMS) rule would mandate vaccines for almost every full-time, part-time, volunteer or contract employee working in many health care settings that receive Medicare or Medicaid funding. CMS estimates more than 10.3 million Americans would fall under this overarching mandate.

“This new rule is an insult to the personal freedoms of the health-care heroes who have been critical to Alaska’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy.

Dunleavy said, “This is unconstitutional and yet another example of the Biden Administration’s overreach on issues that should be left to the states.” - More...

Health News: Researcher: Medicare Advantage Plans Costing Billions More Than They Should By FRED SCHULTE, Kaiser Health News - Switching seniors to Medicare Advantage plans has cost taxpayers tens of billions of dollars more than keeping them in original Medicare, a cost that has exploded since 2018 and is likely to rise even higher, new research has found.

Richard Kronick, a former federal health policy researcher and a professor at the University of California-San Diego, said his analysis of newly released Medicare Advantage billing data estimates that Medicare overpaid the private health plans by more than $106 billion from 2010 through 2019 because of the way the private plans charge for sicker patients.

Nearly $34 billion of that new spending came during 2018 and 2019, the latest payment period available, according to Kronick. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services made the 2019 billing data public for the first time in late September.

“They are paying [Medicare Advantage plans] way more than they should,” said Kronick, who served as deputy assistant secretary for health policy in the Department of Health and Human Services during the Obama administration.

Medicare Advantage, a fast-growing alternative to original Medicare, is run primarily by major insurance companies. The health plans have enrolled nearly 27 million members, or about 45% of people eligible for Medicare, according to AHIP, an industry trade group formerly known as America’s Health Insurance Plans.

The industry argues that the plans generally offer extra benefits, such as eyeglasses and dental care, not available under original Medicare and that most seniors who join the health plans are happy they did so.

“Seniors and taxpayers alike have come to expect high-quality, high-value health coverage from MA [Medicare Advantage] plans,” said AHIP spokesperson David Allen.

Yet critics have argued for years that Medicare Advantage costs taxpayers too much. The industry also has been the target of multiple government investigations and Department of Justice lawsuits that allege widespread billing abuse by some plans.

The payment issue has been getting a closer look as some Democrats in Congress search for ways to finance the Biden administration’s social spending agenda. Medicare Advantage plans also are scrambling to attract new members by advertising widely during the fall open-enrollment period, which ends next month.

“It’s hard to miss the big red flag that Medicare is grossly overpaying these plans when you see that beneficiaries have more than 30 plans available in their area and are being bombarded daily by TV, magazine and billboard ads,” said Cristina Boccuti, director of health policy at West Health, a group that seeks to cut health care costs and has supported Kronick’s research.

Kronick called the growth in Medicare Advantage costs a “systemic problem across the industry,” which CMS has failed to rein in. He said some plans saw “eye-popping” revenue gains, while others had more modest increases. Giant insurer UnitedHealthcare, which in 2019 had about 6 million Medicare Advantage members, received excess payments of some $6 billion, according to Kronick. The company had no comment. - More...

TOM PURCELL: NEVER FORGET OUR VETS - My dad’s hearing was damaged more than half a century ago when, as a young man, he trained to be an Army military policeman during the war in Korea.

MPs were required to qualify for every weapon, including the exceptionally loud .50 caliber machine gun.

One day, while congested with a cold, the concussive impacts of the gun’s noise caused blood to seep out of his nose and ear.

His hearing would never be the same and it grew gradually worse until he went completely deaf in his left ear before he was 45.

For years, he and my mother tried to apply for care from the Veterans Administration, but after going through the lengthy bureaucratic application process, they were never approved. - More...

ELWOOD WATSON: AHMAUD ARBERY AND THE LIMITS OF JUSTICE BY ELWOOD WATSON - 11 white jurors and one Black juror.

We are in week two of the Ahmaud Arbery trial, and I wanted to remind you of the make-up of the jury in the case of a Black Georgia man who was shot and killed by three white men.

A father and son duo — Gregory McMichael and Travis McMichael — and their neighbor, William Bryan, decided to take the law into their own hands. They told authorities they pursued Arbery to make a citizen’s arrest because they “suspected” he was the culprit in a string of break-ins in their neighborhood.

From the outset, even prior to the start of the trial, the case has been mired in controversy and questionable decisions.

Kevin Gough, Bryan’s attorney, openly worried the jury pool didn’t have enough “Bubbas or Joe six-packs.” Eight potential Black jurors were removed by the defense, something Linda Dunikoski, a special prosecutor from the Cobb County District Attorney’s Office, challenged in court. Dunikoski cited a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that states that it is clearly unconstitutional to prohibit potential jurors based on their race or ethnicity. - More...

FINANCIAL FOCUS: Work with life partner to achieve mutual goals Provided By BEN EDWARDS, AAMS® - When you and your life partner work together to achieve your important long-term goals, such as a comfortable retirement lifestyle, the experience can be greatly rewarding. However, your success will require commitment and discipline. So, what steps should you take along the way?

One key move is to decide early in your relationship how you will handle money. Many couples merge their finances and make joint decisions on major purchases. But some couples like to keep at least part of their finances distinct, perhaps by maintaining separate checking or savings accounts. There’s really no one correct solution for everyone, but whatever you decide, you’ll want to be assured that all the bills will be paid and that neither one of you feels the pressure of an unfair financial burden. - More...
