This week, Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy vetoed $87 million in education funding passed by the Legislature — half of a one-time funding increase for public schools that education advocates said was badly needed.

Almost immediately, some lawmakers were calling to override the veto.

Host Elizabeth Harball talks to ADN reporter Iris Samuels about the likelihood of a veto override, what it would take to get there, and more.

Host: Elizabeth Harball. Guest: Iris Samuels. Produced by Evan Phillips. Editor: David Hulen.
