KINY Juneau, Alaska (KINY) - U.S. Senators Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan have introduced legislation to amend the Alaska Native Vietnam era Veterans Land Allotment program which aims to make over 3 million acres of federal land in the National Wildlife Refuge System available for selection. Murkowski said in a release that due to opposition from lawmakers the lands in her previous legislation, the Dingell Act, provided for land that was undesirable and too difficult to access. The Senator added that "The lands opened by this new legislation will mean more options and selections could be made closer to where the veterans lived or traditionally hunted. These veterans deserve no less.”
