Dan Ortiz
According to a press release from the Wrangell Legislative Information Office, State Representative Dan Ortiz will be holding a teleconference on July 8, from 5 to 6 p.m. to receive feedback from the public on the state budget and the PFD. Both subjects have been the topic of much debate across Alaska recently, with the state legislature struggling to form a budget, some times coming into conflict with Governor Mike Dunleavy's desire for serious budget cuts in certain sectors. The debate has been revived recently as Dunleavy vetoed several line items in the budget. These vetoes, according to an article by the Anchorage Daily News, total $444 million. The Alaska Legislature has been called in for a second special session, scheduled to begin on July 8, as well.
The Wrangell LIO is located in the Kadin Building, on Front Street. For more information, call (907) 874-3013.
