📰 News we're reading

• Police Blotter: Nov. 19 - Dec. 6 (chilkatvalleynews.com) — Recent police calls included a Lutak Road resident who found jewelry and turned it in, so locals missing items may want to check with police. The blotter also notes fire alarms, welfare checks, traffic stops, icy roads, and moose alerts around Haines. It’s a useful snapshot of safety issues, lost property, and routine enforcement affecting nearby neighborhoods.
   

• Decision nears on electricity rate increases, challenged by Skagway (chilkatvalleynews.com) — Residents should know that regulators are weighing a steep electricity rate hike partly tied to costly repairs on an undersea cable and questions over the idle Lutak hydro plant. Skagway is pushing back, arguing the utility underinsured its system and shouldn’t pass millions in repair costs to ratepayers. A final decision, which could trigger refunds or higher bills, is due by March.
