In this week on the Mayor's Minute podcast, two excerpts of speech from Matanuska-Susitna Borough Mayor Larry DeVilbiss are posted here from the lengthy meeting last night. Hundreds of residents turned out at the former Railroad Depot in Palmer to tell the Assembly and Mayor their thoughts on whether the Assembly should pass a resolution that supports a renewed permit for Usibelli Coal Mine company at Wishbone Hill.

In a 5 to 1 vote, the Assembly adopted an amended resolution that supports the renewal of the permit.

Listen here to summarizing remarks from Mayor DeVilbiss, who sponsored the resolution.
