Every third Thursday the topic of Su Valley Voice is Government Check-in. We hope to hear from area community councils as well as borough and state representatives.
In this episode host Trisha Costello was joined in the studio by the following guests:
- Ryan Sheldon, Talkeetna Sewer & Water Board Member; nominee to fill vacated Alaska District O Senate seat
- April Morrow, new member of the Talkeetna Community Council
… and on the phone by the following:
- Jesse Leach with Susitna Community Council
- State Division of Forestry
- Former Senator Mike Shower
- Representative Kevin McCabe
Topics discussed ranged from updates on the Talkeetna Sewer & Water utility, open houses around the topics of the Susitna Forestry Management Plan and the Matanuska Valley Transportation Plan and the process of filling the newly vacated Senate seat.
