Murkowski Announces Sealaska Lands Bill Meetings

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, today announced two community meetings on the Sealaska lands bill to be held on Prince of Wales Island.

"These meetings will allow those most affected by the Sealaska bill to have their concerns fully heard," Murkowski said. "I'm hopeful this effort will help us improve the legislation."

Murkowski is sending her staffer Arne Fuglvog to conduct meetings at the communities of Edna Bay and Port Protection. Meetings scheduled in the communities earlier this month were cancelled due to weather.

Wednesday, March 31: 10 a.m. at Edna Bay Community School

Wednesday, March 31: 1 p.m. at Port Protection in the community center

The public is invited to make comments and suggestions about the bill during the town meetings.
