Murkowski Morning Meeting for Friday, February 24, 2012

Special Edition—Friday, February 23, 2012

With the U.S. Senate in recess this week, the Murkowski Morning Meeting hasn’t been publishing – but we wanted to keep you posted of a few Alaskan events in recent days.

Speech to the Legislature

Senator Murkowski gave her annual address to the Alaska State Legislature yesterday, updating legislators on her recent accomplishments in Washington, DC – and taking questions from lawmakers afterwards on topics from ANWR to the status of the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) to prosecutorial misconduct in the Ted Stevens case. (Click boxes below for excerpts)

Stevens case a legal “travesty”

2012 “a window of opportunity” on LOST

“Skeptical” of Eielson F-16 Move

Fairbanks Community Meeting

Also during her trip home, Senator Murkowski visited Fairbanks on Saturday to hold a community meeting on the proposed Eielson changes with Senator Begich and Mayor Luke Hopkins. For any Alaskans who were unable to attend or interested in what was said, the Murkowski Morning Meeting team recorded the entire conversation.
