Rep. Andy Josephson’s Newsletter: A Time to Learn: Committees and Conferences

While the legislature is out of session, bills cannot be passed by the House or Senate to become law; however, committees do meet for informational hearings on specific issues or pieces of legislation.

I have spent the past couple of weeks (with the exception of several wonderful hikes around town in the gorgeous weather!) attending committee hearings and conferences to become a better informed representative. Please contact me if you would like to know more about any of the issues I discuss below.

Rep. Kerttula’s Juneau Newsletter: Celebrating Elizabeth Peratrovich

Alaska recognized Elizabeth Peratrovich Day on Wednesday, February 16, the anniversary of the signing of Alaska’s Anti-Discrimination Act of 1945. I admire Elizabeth Peratrovich and her fight for equal rights in Alaska and I am dedicating this issue of my newsletter to her.
