BERLIN – Executive Councilor Raymond Burton and state Senator John Gallus are inviting the entire N.H. Congressional delegation and U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe of Maine to a June 23 public meeting in Errol to discuss local concerns about the Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge. The pair are also calling for the formation of an Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge Citizens Advisory Committee and endorsing a request by the Coos County Commissioners for a four year moratorium on additional federal land purchases in the county's unincorporated places.
