Municipalities reluctant to accept state harbors

Sitka’s municipal government just agreed to take over ownership and maintenance of the Southeast community’s remaining state-owned boat harbors.

They’re worried the state is dumping decrepit docks and failing floats on local governments without enough money to bring them up to reasonable standards. CoastAlaska’s Ed Schoenfeld reports.
