Alaska is in a recession…again. There’s a lot of hand wringing about the state’s fiscal future but beyond simply bridging the current funding gap, what can and should a diversified economy look like?

NOTE: During the program, the host mistakenly said that Vivitrol can cause a person to feel ill if they drink when on the medication. Nurse Practioner Jyll Green, who administers Vivitrol, said it does not, but a person using the medication does not want to drink. If a person is a heavy drinker, Vivitrol can cause the person to feel withdrawal symptoms. Antabuse, a medication used to treat alcohol addictions, will cause a person to feel ill when drinking.
