Alaska Gov. Bill Walker has proposed eliminating 329 state positions as part of a budget package that is still expected to require lawmakers to draw billions of dollars from savings amid the plunge in oil prices. Walker proposed cutting about $550 million in total unrestricted general funds to help balance the budget, according to information provided by his budget office. That is money that isn't restricted in its use. The total proposed budget authorization is about $12.8 billion. Falling oil prices have exacerbated the state's budget deficit, projected at about $6.9 billion between this year and next. While Alaska has billions of dollars to dip into in the constitutional budget reserve fund, spending levels and oil prices will help dictate how long those savings last. Walker and lawmakers have been bracing the public for cuts and plans to slim down the size of government.
