    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.

However, HB 159 and SB 116 contain provisions that could hinder Alaskans’ access to valuable ad-supported online resources, impede their ability to exercise choice in the marketplace, and harm businesses of all sizes that support the economy. To help ensure Alaskan businesses can continue to thrive and Alaskan consumers can continue to reap the benefits of a robust ad-supported online ecosystem and exercise choice in the marketplace, we recommend that the legislature undertake a study of available approaches to regulating data privacy before moving forward with enacting the onerous, and in some cases, outdated provisions set forth in these bills.

    Center for Caucus Reform and Legislative Accountability 2020 Candidate Positions on Corrupt Practices in the Alaska Legislature /akleads /akleads akleadership.com/survey /akleads /akleads akleadership.com/survey 2020 Candidate Positions on Corrupt Practices in the Alaska Legislature LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN Dear Fellow Conservative, Alaska Conservative Leadership's Center for Caucus Reform and Legislative Accountability is committed to helping Alaska's legislators pursue and develop a culture of legislative accountability that preserves the public trust. 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

    SENATOR Alaska State Legislature REPRESENTATIVE CATHY GIESSEL BRYCE EDGMON Senate President Speaker of the House State Capitol State Capitol Juneau, Alaska 99801-1182 Juneau, Alaska 99801-1182 December 14, 2020 Ms. Cheley Grigsby Vaccine Liaisons Co-Lead Alaska Dept. of Health & Social Services 3601 C St, Ste 722 Anchorage, AK 99503 [email protected] Re: COVID-19 Vaccine priority for Legislators and Capitol staff Dear Ms Grigsby: On the cusp of a vaccine for the coronavirus being distributed in Alaska, there are reasons to be hopeful for the coming year. We are aware that the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice (ACIP) is meeting and contemplating the next Phase of COVID-19 vaccination recipients. The Phase 1b group being considered is Essential Workers. This group is defined as the education sector, food & agriculture, utilities, police, firefighters, corrections officers and transportation personnel. After ACIP makes determinations, the states’ vaccine task forces refine the recipient list. As the presiding officers of the Alaska Legislature, we are writing to request that the Alaska COVID-19 Vaccine Task Force include Legislators and Capitol staff in Group 1b vaccine distribution for Essential Workers. As January approaches, the convening of the 32nd Alaska Legislature will begin in Juneau. Along with a supporting cast of employees, 60 legislators will assemble in the Capitol building for the start of the 2021 session on January 19. We are tasked by the Alaska Constitution with the essential responsibility of passing a budget and addressing other items made more pertinent by the impacts of the Coronavirus. We know that a number of Legislators and Capitol staff fall into the high-risk category for serious effects of the coronavirus.
