Alaskans across the state can speak out on Ballot Measure 1 next week.
As required by law, the Lt. Governor’s office has scheduled four hearings on the job-busting initiative proposed and financed by oil foe Robin Brena. While these sessions are typically held in person, they will be held telephonically due to limitations related to COVID-19.
Testimony sessions will be split by judicial district in an effort to allow for as much time for public comment as possible.
