Borough Assembly

A reconsidered resolution about a gold ore trucking plan was toned-down considerably last week by the Fairbanks North Star Borough Assembly. The Assembly passed a resolution March 9 to oppose the plan to bring ore on heavy trucks 240 miles up the Richardson Highway from the Manh Choh mine in Tetlin. But one member who voted for it then, moved to look at it again.

A controversial trails easement ordinance was narrowly rejected by the Fairbanks North Star Borough Assembly last night. It pitted property rights against public access to trails. The vote came after the mayor threatened to veto the ordinance.
