For what it’s worth, we just had a rare governor sighting on the ground floor of the Capitol just a moment ago. Dunleavy was going into Senate Minority Leader Tom Begich’s office.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

Along those lines, you might remember this Twitter exchange from a few weeks ago, where Dunleavy said he was meeting with leaders on both sides of the aisle in both bodies. Begich responded by saying Dunleavy hadn’t been meeting with him. Looks like that has changed.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
