Following the close race between yes and no votes on ballot measure one, Sen. Lisa Murkowski said she is glad to see it get a chance.
Sen. Murkowski: “I don’t know if SB 21 is the magic configuration, if we’ve got the numbers just right, I think we’re starting to see some positive indicators, I think we’re seeing some additional jobs coming online, some additional contracts being let, we’re starting to really see that investment that will really produce more when it comes to revenues in production, but in fairness it’s still pretty early, it’s just been a little over six months now since we saw SB 21 really come online so I think that we need to give it a chance and I think voters said yesterday that they’re willing to give it that chance, and if we don’t see the revenues coming in if we don’t see that production coming up then that’s what your legislature does.”
Votes from all 441 precincts have now been tallied and 52.23% voted no while 47.77% voted yes.
There are still 11,515 absentee votes to be counted.
