From the transcript
We haven't had time today, nor has AHFC, Alaska Housing Finance Corporation, been present, but there are the 4 conveyances made to AHFC allegedly for low and medium level housing for folks. Again, very vague. Uh, you do have in your packet of information and online a specific conveyance for one, uh, around Rosie Creek in the Esther area in Fairbanks. Folks that live around that area have contacted me and said this is inappropriate land for housing. Why is this being conveyed?
