District O Constituents and Interested Stakeholders: Join us to learn about HB77. The bill has generated the most correspondence to my office than any other legislation (by proponents and opponents alike) since I became the District O Senator in January. Considering my district’s high level of interest in the bill, I requested the meetings with DNR and ADF&G leadership. I’m pleased that they were willing to accommodate the request. My objective is to provide a forum for the Department of Natural Resources to present the bill, and for interested District O stakeholders to provide feedback and have an opportunity for their questions to be answered in an orderly, respectful discussion.
