Dear Friends and Neighbors,

Happy Holidays! I wish everyone a fun and safe New Year. It has been a pleasure to serve you this last year and I look forward to the start of the 29th Alaska State Legislature.

With the temperatures finally dipping out there, take a look at UAF’s Cooperative Extension resources for energy saving tips. Click here to see lots of easy ways to save and even get you questions answered by an energy expert.

The lower temps also mean an inversion that can cause ice fog and/or air quality issues. Visit the Fairbanks North Star Borough Website at http://co.fairbanks.ak.us/airquality/ to learn about air quality advisories, woodstove change out programs, and tips for cleaner burning. 

Office Transition to Juneau

After the holidays my office will be making the annual migration to Juneau for the 2015 Legislative Session. During that time please feel free to contact me either by phone at 907-456-8172 or by e-mail at rep.david.guttenberg@akleg.gov

We will be up and running by the 14th of January. The Fairbanks number will ring through down to us in Juneau so no need to call long distance. If you prefer, you can always use our toll free number 1-800-928-4457. 

The Legislative Session runs January 20th through April 19th. During the first week of session I will be sending out more information on how you can participate in legislative hearings and stay up on the issues being discussed.

In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to contact my office if there is anything we can help you with.
