Last year, lawmakers appropriated $1,000,000 in public funds to conduct a salary study.
A draft was completed in October of 2024. Where is the report now? Dunleavy says all copies were destroyed. Sign the petition and tell Mike to release the study!https://t.co/NTqxgoG3Th— Alaska AFL-CIO (@AKAFLCIO) January 28, 2025

The initiative petition process gives Missourians a path to change policies when politicians don’t listen. Now lawmakers are trying to take your rights.
