Former Fairbanks North Star Borough Assemblywoman Savannah Fletcher was censured by the Assembly on Friday and fined $3.
In a 5-4 vote, Fletcher was censured for what was deemed a “minor and technical” ethics violation, relating to radio ads she recorded in 2023 that encouraged residents of Fairbanks to get involved with borough agenda items that were important to her.
In those ads, she offered opinions on matters coming before the Assembly, and she did not disclose that these were her own opinions, not the opinions of the Assembly. She also did not disclose who paid for the ads. The radio ads were privately funded, not paid for by the Fairbanks North Star Borough. Assemblyman David Guttenberg acknowledged helping pay for the ads.
The Fairbanks North Star Borough Assembly’s Ethics Board found that radio spots violated ethics rules due to her inflection, word choice, and focus on specific topics that were part of her own agenda.
Fletcher, a licensed attorney, member of the Alaska Bar Association, and member of the Alaska Judicial Council, faced scrutiny over the violation’s implications for her professional work. She is an expert litigator on behalf of the liberal Northern Justice Project and makes her living suing conservatives and governments that make decisions she disagrees with.
She left the Assembly in 2024 and ran for state Senate, losing to Sen. Mike Cronk in November.
Well they certainly made sure Brett and Barb are replaced come fall, this witchhunt cost the Borough tens of thousands of dollars.
True about the costs to the taxpayers. Thanks to Savannah Fletcher’s best friends,
Kristen Kelly and Bobby Burgess. Rats, all.
Who cares?
An “expert litigator?”
LOL. She had to come into the Assembly meeting with her out-of-state lawyer to defend her “minor and technical violations.” Her opponent, Rita Trometter, had no attorney …..she represented herself. And Trometter kicked the expert litigator’s *SS.
When Fletcher attempted to run the show, the pro tem presiding officer ordered her back to her seat in the gallery. THOSE were define moments.
Oh, so she’s a lawyer. That’s all I need to know.
Savannah Fletcher is an Obama fan and was pushing electric buses through these ads, Biden/Obama’s climate crises and eliminating the tax cap in order to have no limits on borough spending, She has big aspirations to run as fast as she can through this state and onward. It is rumored she wants to run for Lt. Governor with Peltola as governor. WE attended the disciplinary meeting and she had no remorse and sat herself up in front of the assembly and in front of us at the mike when she was not supposed according to protocol. She was told to go back to her seat. She brought her lawyer with her and had 4+ inch thick high heels perhaps to be able to look down on the rest of us. Her lawyer tried to interrupt the person filing the ethics violation and the audience yelled for him to be quiet: “point of order.”
Different rules for Democrats.
Savannah Fletcher was sent to Fairbanks as part of George Soros’ $multi-billion effort to foist left-wing operations on communities. Soros money was funneled through ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations For reform Now. Soros has been doing the same “seeding” operation all over America.
.
Fletcher has roots in WA state. She went to law school in CA and then straight up to Alaska to clerk with the AK Supreme Court (Justice Carney). She’s been wiggling her way into the community through the FNSB Assembly. Grier Hopkins and Mike Cronk both beat her out of the mayor’s and state senate seats respectively. Rita Trometter had a great performance despite Fletcher’s attorney sent by Soros.
.
Fletcher is hell bent to turn Fairbanks into a communist zone through George Soros’ vast fortune. She is now on the AK Judicial Council through placement by the Alaska Bar Association. Her next attempt for control will be with Mary Peltola in the 2026 governor’s race.
.
Meanwhile, Fletcher practices law fare through her law firm, Northern Justice Project, with her husband. She has a small collection of friends in the community, including the four brainwashed lefties that sit on the Assembly. Fortunately, Fletcher has been turned down by common sense, dedicated Fairbanksans. But the fight will continue. That’s a GIVEN!
Beware of this woman.
Sounds like an accurate description of the “Soros plan”.
Funny how entities labeled “justice” seem to have no connection with it.
