Leonard Dubber’s criticism of Steve Vick is unfair, and doesn’t tell the whole story. The boiler project for the Mosquito Lake School had been in the works for years. Funding had been secured from the state, engineering completed and the contract awarded. If the assembly had said no to the project at that point, the borough would […]

Vick has been the assembly’s liaison with the ESC for two years and is quoted in the campaign as being a supporter of energy independence. […]

Assembly will pay for Mosquito Lake heat project
The Haines Borough Assembly Tuesday voted 5-1 to use $65,000 in borough funds to pay for the Mosquito Lake School heating system. Two-thirds of the cost of the $186,550 project will be paid by a state grant. The decision keeps intact a contract with Dawson Construction and moves the project ahead, effectively bypassing objections by the borough school […]
