The action included significant renewable energy legislation moving through its first step in the legislative process, conversations about protecting salmon streams, and, of course, oil and gas taxes. This week’s Conservation Watch will review all this and prepare you for more action in the busy week to come.

Many are saying the pace at the Capitol is quicker than last year but committees are mainly hearing informational and department presentations. No publisher bpritchett 2012-01-28T00:34:13Z Conservation Watch http://acvoters.org/legislative-session/conservation-watch/conservation-watch-1-20-2012 The second year of the legislative session started on Tuesday. Legislators and staff have completed the move to Juneau and are back in the Capitol building. The Senate and House held the first, mostly ceremonial floor sessions earlier this week. Committees are starting to hold hearings but major issues have yet to be addressed. As the legislature prepares for the serious discussions later in session, we’ll take the moment to catch you up on the coastal management initiative, our legislative priorities, and the Governor’s State of the State address.
