(Petersburg Mayor) Al Dwyer’s comments stir talk of continuation of TBPA - Wrangell Sentinel

Wrangell Sentinel - the oldest continuously published paper in Alaska.

It came as a surprise to both the Wrangell Assembly and Thomas Bay Power Authority (TBPA) when Petersburg Mayor Al Dwyer announced that he was considering cutting Petersburg’s $50,000.


Dwyer made the comment during the February 8 Petersburg Council Meeting. He suggested that Southeast Alaska Power Agency (SEAPA) would better manage TBPA’s current load, and that Wrangell unofficially expressed an interest in such a changeover.


Wrangell Mayor Don McConachie commented that he had not hosted any discussion on the topic. Regarding Dwyer’s comments, McConachie stated, “Quiet frankly that comes as a big surprise to me.”
