- Juneau - Greetings from Juneau where House and Senate Democrats are moving closer to a budget solution. Our "Conversations on the Budget" with Alaskans from around the state has generated many ideas. The next two discussions, which will focus on plans to resolve our dilemma, are scheduled as follows:

While each meeting is in Juneau, we will have videoconferencing at the Anchorage Legislative Information Office (716 West Fourth Avenue). Gavel-to-Gavel, cable channel 46, will also broadcast the forums. If you have the opportunity to tune in I encourage you to do so.

If you have questions you would like to hear addressed or something occurs to you as you listen or watch, simply e-mail or telephone me and the moderators will present these questions during one of the forums.
