Rep. Drummond’s Newsletter: School Vouchers, Pizza Party, State Operating Budget Testimony March 5
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
You may already be aware that earlier this week the Anchorage Daily News published a Compass article I wrote about the School Voucher discussion that is currently taking place in the capital. The Item in question is House Joint Resolution 1 (HJR1).
HJR1 is an attempt to amend the language of the Alaskan Constitution, which currently states: “No money shall be paid from public funds for the direct benefit of any religious or other private educational institution.”

Rep. Josephson’s Newsletter: Community Participation
What a Turnout!
To all who were at the Anchorage Caucus on Saturday morning, thank you! Along with the other Anchorage legislators in attendance, I heard from 130 local Anchorage citizens. You were out in force on topics such as increasing school funding, capital projects requests, the local labor dispute, and school vouchers. I believe that whatever your issue, state or municipal, it is my duty as your elected official to listen to you and act on your behalf. It was inspiring to hear from so many local residents.

Note from Rep. Gara: Gun Bill Might Get You Federal Jail Time? And Saturday Anchorage Public Legislative Testimony
First, who knew so many of you actually read our e-newsletter? Thank you for the response to last week’s poll. You’ve asked that I keep things pretty much the same, and that if the letter is a looooong one, I give you the skinny at the top in case you don’t have time to read all the details and facts. It’s a deal!
And this Saturday you are invited to give testimony to the Legislature on any topic you wish. “Anchorage Caucus” – a fancy term meaning your Anchorage legislators will be in town for you – will be held at the Loussac Library, Assembly Chambers, from 9:30 a.m. – 1 p.m.
