In a letter, Gov. Mike Dunleavy and 21 other governors asked President Biden to withdraw the plan to forgive some student loan debt and criticized it as being burdensome to taxpayers and Americans who did not attend college.

Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy speaks to reporters during a news conference at the state Capitol on Thursday, April 28, 2022, in Juneau.

Alaska Gov.

in favor of an “elite few.” They also questioned whether Biden has the authority to forgive student debt. “At a time when inflation is sky high due to your unprecedented tax-and-spend agenda, your plan will encourage more student borrowing, incentivize higher tuition rates, and drive-up inflation even further, negatively impacting every American,” they wrote.

A spokesman for Dunleavy said the governor, who is running for reelection, had no further comment on the letter. Asked for a copy of the letter, spokesman Jeff Turner told the Daily News to submit a public records request to obtain it. Multiple other governors who signed the letter posted it in full to their websites.

RuthSorbello But tax breaks gifted in perpetuity to profitable corporations (that added a trillion to the debt and were used for stock buybacks) are A-ok with the GOP.

GovDunleavy or staff, have you done the math? Share with this Alaskan a here or there figure that will define this so called 'burden' you speak of. My cost Loosen up buddy. Or, RESIGN.

Why is he not thanking all the folks with student loans for funding taxpayers and Americans who did not attend college with their exorbitant interest payments?

And the two billion the state spends on DenaliCare for it’s citizens every year should also come to an end because of the burden it puts on those who work I suppose as well?

This reflects a gross misunderstanding of how student-debt forgiveness works. It isn’t paid for by tax hikes or spending cuts elsewhere.

Holy shit, a strongly worded letter? What an incredible move from the Republicans.

I can’t wait to vote him out

Has no problem with sole source nepotism contracts or wasting money on stupid lawsuits

I'll take him seriously when he says the same about PPP loans.

Oh so GovDunleavy wants to talk burdensome…

Just because GovDunleavy can’t stamp his name on it and use it as a campaign bribe like the dividend and energy assistance or whatever he’s calling it.

Vote Gara and rank Walker 2nd, or vote Walker and rank Gara 2nd. This one has done enough

It’s well known that “People with degrees don’t vote for mees.” Anyway I can stick it to them, I will. Now, just sit back and enjoy that PFD you clamored for while paying inflated gas prices and having crippled state services because we GovDunleavy suck at our job.

What a horrible thing to suggest. Those $$'s will funnel right into the economy as food on their tables. So dang tired of your foolishness. RESIGN

Did his oil industry masters tell him to say that.

The freeloader who is having the state pay for his campaign and buy him friends doesn’t want others to burden taxpayers.

Dunleavy sucks so bad
