JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — The state could face some difficult decisions, and tight budgets, as it pursues a major liquefied natural gas project.

Revenue Commissioner Angela Rodell told the House Resources Committee on Wednesday that if the state pursues the gas treatment plant and pipeline project without TransCanada Corp. as a partner, Alaska’s share of project costs could be more than half the state’s unrestricted general fund revenue near the start of construction, around 2020.
