Alaska governor walks back devastating budget cuts after recall drive launched - Joaqlin Estus, News Maven

Less than two weeks after the launch of a campaign to recall him from office, Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy announced he’s backing off from some of the budget cuts that he demanded after using 182 line item vetos. The governor's biggest cut was directed at the University of Alaska. In July Dunleavy vetoed $136 million, or 41 percent of the university system budget. Now it will be reduced by almost half that, or $70 million, with the reduction spread out over three years.
