Alaska LNG Deal in Limbo | Anchorage News

Alaska’s third special legislative session kicks off with high stakes: a massive LNG project and a potential multibillion-dollar tax cut hang in the balance. With only a few lawmakers in attendance and no clear bill yet, the governor’s next move is crucial. Disagreements over expanding the corporate income tax have stalled progress, with the Senate pushing for it and the House resisting. The $55 billion pipeline, vital for Alaska’s energy future and export potential, faces looming natural gas shortages. With elections looming and no deal in sight, all eyes are on the governor to rally the fractured legislature — or risk losing this year’s chance to move forward.

Help Alaska’s Native Bees Thrive | Anchorage News

Alaska’s buzzing with over 100 native bee species, from giant bumblebees to tiny ground-dwellers, all vital for pollinating wildflowers and berries that feed wildlife and our food. With climate shifts bringing new plants, your backyard choices matter. Plant seasonal blooms like willows, fireweed, and asters—even small patches help. Go native for best results, but common flowers like chives and sunflowers work too. Group them together to make feeding easier. Most Alaskan bees nest in soil or hollow stems, so leave some bare patches and avoid over-mulching or tilling. Skip pesticides—they’re deadly to bees and flowers. If you must use them, follow labels strictly and never spray when bees are active. Healthy soil and diversity often eliminate the need for chemicals. Get involved: join the Alaska Bee Atlas to track bee populations or simply snap photos of bees you spot—your help paints a clearer picture of Alaska’s vital pollinators.

Anchorage Extends Short-Term Rental Deadline | Anchorage News

Anchorage just gave short-term rental owners a 30-day grace period to register their properties—no fines until October 1st—after hosts said they were overwhelmed by summer demand. The city’s new rule, which requires displaying a unique registration number, aims to boost compliance without shutting down listings. Over 2,200 rentals have already signed up, with hundreds more joining daily, as officials estimate 2,000 to 2,500 active rentals in town. While some council members thought the original deadline was fair, the extension helps hosts navigate the quick process during peak travel season.
