The City of Dillingham has petitioned to annex a large portion of the Nushagak Bay. The City intends to impose a tax on the sale or use of raw fish within the territory to be annexed. The Petition has been opposed by several Alaska Native groups that rely heavily on Bay resources.
The Petition and related documents can be found here:

The City also has requested preclearance from the Department of Justice to hold the annexation vote, pursuant to the Voting Rights Act of 1965:
