I recently learned that I am being blamed for placing logs and boulders which have blocked public access to the property known as Picture Point. I do not own that property and I would like to assure the residents of Haines that I had nothing to do with this. To the contrary, soon after I contracted to purchase the property across Lutak Highway, I called then-assembly member Deborah Vogt to ask what I could do to promote the development of a seawalk running from Picture Point to Fort Seward. I continue to support this idea and will work and commit resources to make it happen. I am looking forward to being a member of your community in the near future.
