From the transcript
The whole reason this subject is being heard today is because I began to see a lot of public notices for public and charitable use conveyances of land. I'd not seen these public and charitable use term used in the past, and one very large conveyance caught my eye, and that was for 20,000 acres going to ADA in the Mat-Su Valley. So questions began to be asked. Many of the conveyances are small to local governments. They seem to make sense, but it is not a local government.
