"When complaints are freely heard, deeply considered
and speedily reformed, then is the utmost bound of civil liberty attained
that wise men look for."
John Milton 1608-1674), English poet and political
writer, from "Areopagitica" (1644),
Milton's argument for freedom of the press before Parliament of England

Alaska’s Office of the Ombudsman helps
resolve problems with the state
Are you having problems with state government?
No matter where you live in Alaska, you can contact an office that
investigates complaints against state government agencies and employees.
The Alaska Legislature created the Office of the Ombudsman to make sure
that government follows the rules and treats all citizens fairly and
reasonably.
The Ombudsman is a non-partisan, neutral fact-finder. The Ombudsman
takes no sides in a dispute, but if she finds a problem, she will confront
the agency and recommend a solution.
To reach the ombudsman by phone, dial 1-800-478-2624 toll-free anywhere
in Alaska. You can also contact the office through its Internet web site
at www.state.ak.us/ombud, by writing to Post Office Box 102636, Anchorage,
99510-2636, or fax at (907) 269-5291.
So, if you are having problems with state government that you have
been unable to resolve, and you think the state is doing something wrong,
contact the Alaska State Ombudsman today.
