ECONOMIC TOWN HALL MEETINGS ANNOUNCED

Murkowski to Hold Economic Town Halls Next Week in Anchorage, Palmer and Fairbanks

WASHINGTON, D.C. –As Congress debates a path for long-term financial stability, Senator Lisa Murkowski today announced that during the upcoming October recess next week, she will be holding a series of economic town halls to share with Alaskans her view of the decisions ahead – and to hear from Alaskans about their thoughts.

“While the ‘Super Committee’ works on Capitol Hill, I want to open up this process to all of Alaska,” said Murkowski.  “This issue touches every Alaskan and every town, and I am looking forward to sharing with Alaskans how this debate impacts us statewide, what good ideas are out there to pave a smoother road forward, but also to hear from them so that I can deliver their message back to Washington, DC.”
