Rep. Kawasaki’s Juneau Note: Summer Wrap-Up
Summer Abundance
Something everyone can agree upon is how fast Fairbanks summers pass and how many great opportunities there are to get involved with our community. Last week we were busy celebrating Golden Days, the World Eskimo-Indian Olympics and countless other summer celebrations. In the coming weeks, as summer winds down, we will start to transition to a time of preparation - busying ourselves with berry picking, fishing and hunting to fill our freezers for the year ahead. And perhaps purchasing school supplies, or taking one final meander down the Chena River. I wish everyone a productive, safe and enjoyable end to the summer months.

Berta’s Briefings from Rep. Gardner: What Road Concerns Are On Your Mind?
In between all this summer’s great Alaska activities, I have had the opportunity to meet with many of you to find out what issues are of concern to you, and given the fairly significant road construction underway in the heart of Anchorage, I am hearing a lot about transportation issues.
I am planning a tour of our Midtown district with state transportation officials to look at our streets and roads. Please let me know if there are particular areas you’d like to be sure we see.

Note from Rep. Gara: State Hushing Public On Pesticides & Fighting Gasoline Price Gouging
I could spend this newsletter taking a poll on when the official start of summer will be. I could be wrong, but I remember it starting earlier than late July in past years. I’ll have to check my journal. Actually, I’m looking out the window and think it might be starting now! Good. OK, next subject.
