From the transcript
And we're also certainly marking the one-year anniversary of Typhoon Halong, which happened basically around this time last year when the AFN Convention was in town or shortly before that. In the words of Alaska Community Foundation President and CEO Alex McKay in a statement last week, the storm did not end when the weather cleared. And we know that there's many folks who are still struggling in the aftermath of that. So to our neighbors from across the state who are staying here in Anchorage, whether you're here for AFN this week or spending time here for a longer period of time until you can return home, we're grateful that you're here. On the subject of the budget, tonight is the first of our two scheduled public hearings on the FY 2027 budget.
