Anchorage Assemblywoman Meg Zaletel, who double-dips as the CEO of the Anchorage Coalition to End Homelessness, is named in a lawsuit by a “Jane Doe,” a former employee, who accuses her and the organization of wrongful termination.
In the lawsuit, the complainant accuses Zaletel of routinely yelling at and berating employees.
Zaletel is not running again in April for her seat on the Assembly, which provides millions of dollars to her organization. In 2024, the Assembly gave her $1.4 million to solve homelessness in Anchorage, which has only worsened under her leadership. She has been on the Assembly since 2019, and has headed up the homelessness business since 2021.
Wesley Early of Alaska Public Media broke the story about the alleged financial mismanagement by Zaletel, and the claims that Zaletel created a toxic workplace at the nonprofit and that people working there are demoralized.
“Doe further alleges that when she brought her concerns to the board of directors, she was fired. The 37-page complaint also names board chair Nathan Johnson and vice chair Jacob Lyons as defendants,” Early writes.
The case is 3AN-25-04029CI Jane Doe vs. Anchorage Coalition to End Homelessness.
Really, really hope “Jane Doe”, an employee apparently with nonpublic, insider knowledge of how The Meg’s mob works, considers filing a qui tam lawsuit which could collapse The Meg’s homeless-industrial complex and make “Jane Doe” a truckload of money in the process, all legally, above-board.

Best of luck, Jane Doe.
Another crooked politician.
I would like to know her bank balance when she was elected and what it is in April.
My guess is and some zeros to the pre assembly date and that’s the current amount she has relieved the tax pays of.
