The 2017 legislative session is only two weeks old and the calendar is already getting thick with organizations trying to make sure they get their crack at face time with legislators. The good news is that with massive budget issues continuing to loom there is little chance the legislature will actually adjourn in the statutorily mandated 90 days. There is still plenty of time for groups to schedule a trip to Juneau.
Here is a list of groups we know have scheduled fly-ins, receptions, or meetings designed to interface with policy makers during the legislative session:
