At the Ketchikan Public Library with Deer Mountain in the background, Governor Walker signed SB 88 into law. This legislation completes a land transfer between the USFS and the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority. As I’ve stated before, this bill is a win-win-win: the timber industry will receive an opportunity to work, the Mental Health Trust will raise revenue to serve Alaskans in need, and communities will not have logging in their adjacent lands and view sheds.
