Hill considers Washington, D.C. trip to seek funds

Haines Borough Mayor Jan Hill said a recent visit to town by U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, was encouraging and Hill is considering a trip to Washington, D.C., to push for federal funding of specific projects.

“(Murkowski) had no news for us, but made a clear invitation that it was time to come back to D.C. to see her,” Hill said in a recent interview. “She loves Haines. That’s a message she made repeatedly.”
