On Friday morning April 8th, I was invited to speak to the members of the Juneau Chapter of the Alaska Miners Association. It was a great opportunity to update the members on the status and opportunities forthcoming with several Southeast road projects that my office was instrumental in securing funding for and moving forward. I also spoke about pending legislation and my perspective on the State’s fiscal situation.

My general focus during my tenure has been on seeking opportunities for local jobs and economic development in Southeast. Progress on access to lands provides opportunity for federal and state timber sales, quarry extraction, and mining and milling operation and is positive news for our region. I have also supported funding for preliminary mapping of possible road corridors using LIDAR technology to assist the design and permitting of our roads. It is definitely positive news for our region.
