Alaska House and Senate lawmakers fell short Monday of the votes needed to override Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s veto of a historic $246 million education funding package.

JUNEAU, Alaska -

“So what happened here was we tried to get stuff and teacher bonuses, charter schools. That didn’t happen. So we’ve got to move on,” the governor said Friday, shortly before letting lawmakers know how he felt about the override vote. “We’ve got to fund education, which is going to happen, but we have to move on. Because if not, it’s just going to be chaotic,” Dunleavy said as he promised to support some sort of BSA increase by working with lawmakers during the remainder of the session, and in how he said he would view the budget lawmakers eventually send him.
