The Haines Borough Assembly last week rejected appointment of former assembly member Diana Lapham to the borough’s Ports and Harbor Advisory Committee on a 4-2 vote.

The appointment was one of several Mayor Jan Hill recommended to the borough’s various advisory boards and councils.

Assembly member Heather Lende asked for Lapham’s name to be removed from a list, along with that of Joe Parnell, who sought a seat on the Chilkat Center Advisory Board.
