Rep. Sam Kito III

This week, the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities continues to hold public meetings on the Alaska Marine Highway System. The goal of the meetings is to lead a constructive dialogue around the fiscal challenges that face AMHS. Here are this week’s meeting times/places:

Juneau: Tuesday, Dec 15, 6-8pm at the CBJ Assembly Chambers.

Haines: Wednesday, Dec 16, 5-7pm at the Haines Assembly Chambers.

These meetings provide an opportunity for Alaskans to hear from department officials, ask questions, and present potential solutions regarding short- and long-term operating possibilities for AMHS. If you can’t attend in person, call toll free 1-800-315-6338 (code 03902#) to participate. I’ll be at both meetings, and I look forward to hearing your input.

While I’m in Haines for the DOTPF meeting, I’ll also be holding office hours, Thursday, 8:30-10:15am in the borough offices (NB: for regular borough business, office opens at 9am). If you are interested in meeting, please call my office (907) 465-4766 to schedule an appointment.
