Who is really responsible for the rate increases for the Alaska Pioneer Homes?

First of all the last four years the Democrats have been in control of the Alaska State House.  They have funded these Alaska Pioneer Home with the highest amount of medicaid dollars along with the Walker Administration.  Now in December 2018 we have a new sheriff in town with Mike Dunleavy.  They have decided to be fiscally responsible with medicaid money.  The Alaska House Majority committee lead by Geran Tarr and Ivy Sponholz decided to raise the rates of the Alaska Pioneer Homes by not submitting a reduction in operation cost of the operation.  Refusing to bill native corporations to take care of their elders who are shareholders.  Remember this is due to the handshake agreement with the speaker of house Bryce Edgmon who exempted native corporations dividends from the Alaska Income Tax proposal.  

Remember Zack Fields, Ivy Sponholz and Geran Tarr raised the rates of the Alaska Pioneer Homes.
