    Alaska State Legislature

    ALASKA STATE LEGISLATURE May 1, 2020 Dear Governor Dunleavy, As epidemiologists and researchers learn more about the novel coronavirus, there is a growing body of evidence indicating the use of simple cloth face coverings can reduce transmission of COVID-19 when infected persons may be experiencing asymptomatic shedding of the virus. This means wearing face coverings can help to reduce spread in places experiencing active community-based transmission or where social distancing may be hard to maintain (like the grocery store, post office and other places of business). As your administration lays out plans to reopen Alaska, we urge you to issue an additional COVID-19 Health Mandate requiring Alaskans to wear face coverings in public, including both essential and non- essential businesses. We share the hope that our economy will be limitedly impacted by the necessary protective measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and protect the lives of Alaskans, but we must proceed with great caution to reduce the danger of a significant second wave of infection as we attempt to return to a new normal. Wearing face coverings in public is a simple and highly effective measure we should all practice to protect one another, but the most effective way we can achieve this compliance will be through your leadership and guidance by issuing an additional health mandate. Thank you for your consideration, Sincerely, Representative Tiffany Zulkosky Representative Harriet Drummond Representative Matt Claman Representative Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins Representative Zach Fields Representative Geran Tarr Representative Andi Story CC: Commissioner Adam Crum, Department of Health and Social Services Dr.

    ALASKA STATE LEGISLATURE WHILE IN SESSION WHILE IN ANCHORAGE STATE CAPITOL 1500 W BENSON BLVD JUNEAU, AK 99801 ANCHORAGE, AK 99503 (907) 465-3704 (907) 269-0169 May 5, 2020 Mayor Ethan Berkowitz 632 W 6th Avenue Suite 840 Anchorage, Alaska 99501 Dear Mayor Berkowitz, Thank you for your leadership during this challenging and unprecedented time. We appreciate your frequent briefings and inclusion of medical professionals, business leaders, and neighbors. We are writing today with deep concern regarding early distribution of the CARES Act funds that did not make it to many small businesses in Anchorage. As of April 16, over 5,000 Alaskan businesses have received emergency relief loan funds through the Federal CARES Act. However, during a recent discussion with Anchorage Community Land Trust (ACLT), we learned that a substantial number of businesses located in Anchorage’s economic opportunity zones have not been able to access those loans. According to a survey conducted by ACLT, many small businesses located in these economic opportunity zones are experiencing significant barriers in qualifying or applying for these federal loans. As the Paycheck Protection Program and Economic Injury Disaster Loans were specifically created to retain employees, small businesses with less than 50 employees that do not have sophisticated relationships with large financial institutions, a robust bookkeeping system, are seasonal, or are recent start-ups are left unable to access these loans. The net result of the above barriers means many small businesses located in Anchorage’s economic opportunity zones, specifically those that are minority and women-owned, are unable to access the financial resources needed to sustain their operations during the COVID-19 related mandatory closures.

    Letter from Anchorage Assembly Members Urging the Alaska Legislature to Change State Law to Allow Judges to Consider Out-Of-State Convictions in Setting Bail

    DRAFT LETTER FROM ANCHORAGE ASSEMBLY MEMBERS URGING THE ALASKA LEGISLATURE TO CHANGE STATE LAW TO ALLOW JUDGES TO CONSIDER OUT-OF-STATE CONVICTIONS IN SETTING BAIL March 14, 2018 HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE Rep. Matt Claman, Chair Sen. John Coghill, Chair Rep. Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins, Vice-Chair Sen. Mia Costello Rep. Gabrielle LeDoux Sen. Pete Kelly Rep. David Eastman Sen. Bill Wielechowski Rep. Chuck Kopp Sen. Click Bishop Rep. Lora Reinbold Rep. Charisse Millett Rep. Louise Stutes Rep. Tiffany Zulkosky Dear Chair Claman, Chair Coghill and Judiciary Committee Members, Thank you for your service. We write today urging you to promptly hold committee hearings on and advance HB295/SB150 for floor action. These bills were introduced at the start of the Legislative session and have sat in your respective Judiciary Committees for 54 days of a 90-day session without a hearing or any other action. If you do not take action, dangerous criminals will continue to be released into our communities to threaten the public and commit more crimes. Prior to passage of SB91, judges in Alaska used their discretion to assign bail, considering all factors relevant to protecting the public and assuring appearance at future criminal proceedings. SB91 created the mandatory Alaska 2 Scale (AK-2S) to determine bail for persons charged with crimes. AK-2S went into effect in January of this year. It soon became clear that there were serious problems. Specifically, the new bail system does not allow judges to consider out-of-state convictions. Passage of these bills would close this loophole.

Toward that end, the Center has authored and distributed to all legislative candidates our 2020 Corrupt Practices in the Alaska Legislature Candidate Survey. Surveys were sent to all candidates by electronic mail on August 4, 2020. The Center welcomed suggestions for this year's survey from our supporters and donors. The ten topics that were finally chosen for this year's candidate survey highlight several issues of concern that Alaska legislators have faced in recent years and that are likely to resurface in the future. By raising these issues now, we hope to prepare both voters and future legislators to understand and form an opinion about them before being faced with a decision on whether to maintain the status quo within the legislature or chart a new and better course. As of this writing, a number of candidates have yet to review their survey and submit their responses on these very important issues. If your candidate has not yet done so, please encourage them to complete their survey

    a. 0 September 11,2004 Lawrence Norton, Esq. General Counsel Federal Election Commission 999 E Street, NW, 6th Floor Washington, D.C. 20463 Re: Voice of the Times MUR# 563 7 Iv Dear Mr. Norton: 0 This complaint asserts that Bill Allen, VECO Corporation, and the "Voice of tjR Times" feature of the Anchorage Daily News have violated the Federal Electia Campaign Act (the "Act"), 2 U.S.C. 55 43 1 et seq. (2004) and related regulatims of the Commission, 11 C.F.R. $9 100.1 et seq. (2004). The facts indicate that Bill Allen and/or VECO Corporation are making illegal expenditures on behalf of Lisa Murkowski for U.S. Senate, through the "Voice of the Times" daily advertisements. These contributions are either a corporate contribution, barred by 2 U.S.C. 8 441b(a), or an independent expenditure required to be reported by 2 U.S.C. 8 434(c). FACTS Until 1992, there were two newspapers serving Anchorage, Alaska: the Anchorage Daily News and the Anchorage Times. In 1992, the Anchorage Times ceased publishing as a separate newspaper. As part of a business arrangement, the Daily News agreed to publish the "Voice of the Times" on the op-ed page every day as "an alternative editorial voice." Bill J. Allen, Chairman and CEO of VECO Corporation, is the publisher of the Voice of the Times. 'See How these Pages Work, ANCHORAGE DAILYNEWS, Jan. 5,2004, at B4 (Attachment A). The Voice of the Times has consistently advocated the election of Lisa Murkowski to the United States Senate, and it has consistently advocated the defeat of Senate candidate Tony Knowles.
