Office of Governor
Governor Parnell's speech at
Juneau Chamber of Commerce
Thank you, and good afternoon, Juneau Chamber of Commerce. Thank you, Sheldon Winters for the introduction. It’s great to be back here.
Speaking of winter…it is gone! It’s April in the Capital City. And the weather has been so good, this is a time to take a walk on Sandy Beach with your dog, and get your boat in the water. And time to get ready to welcome the many visitors who bring a huge jolt of cash into our local Juneau economy.
Speaking of visitors, the Legislature fully funded my request for tourism marketing to bring more of those independent travellers to Alaska’s local businesses. And cruise passenger traffic is expected to increase by about 100,000 visitors over the next two years, further evidence that tax policy drives business decision making.
