Mia Costello: Why I’ll be in Wasilla

Suzanne Downing
-
65

After 120 days in the regular session and a 30-day special session in Juneau, the Alaska Legislature still has a lot of work to do.

Gov. Mike Dunleavy called a new special session in Wasilla — but the presiding officers in the House and Senate don’t like the “in Wasilla” part, so they have decided to simply ignore it.

It’s not clear why they have chosen to pick this particular fight with the governor — especially now, with the dividend, capital budget funding and line-item vetoes all hanging in the balance. And it isn’t clear they can do that. It isn’t in the Alaska Constitution, and it isn’t in statute.

There is no question that the governor can call a special session — that’s in the Constitution. And there’s also no question that the governor can specify the location of the call — that’s in statute. It’s very clear — under current law, he can do all that.

So why do the presiding officers believe they can simply decide on their own to hold the session somewhere else? The crux of leadership’s argument is that the Constitution doesn’t explicitly say the governor can specify the location of the session, so the Legislature shouldn’t feel bound to follow that part.

Well, the Constitution also doesn’t explicitly say the governor can say when the session starts. Based on their argument, the Legislature doesn’t have to go into session when he says, any more than where he says. And if he doesn’t have the power to say when and where the session is, he doesn’t really have the power to call the session at all — and that just can’t be right.

That doesn’t mean the Legislature is completely at the governor’s mercy. The Constitution gives the Legislature the ability to call its own session — it just requires 40 votes. The leaders’ problem is that they don’t have those votes. That’s why their attempt to unilaterally move the location of the governor’s session has the appearance of a cynical attempt to ignore rules they don’t like.

I know that some people — voters and legislators — oppose the idea of a special session in Wasilla. I’ve heard all the arguments, pro and con. I’ve heard concerns about inordinate costs and concerns about adequate facilities. These are practical matters we must address, and I’m confident that we can.

Other arguments against having a special session in Wasilla are less legitimate. I’ve heard some legislators express concern that they may not be safe in the midst of Valley residents; I think that’s ridiculous.

Sadly, I have also heard vulgar slurs against Valley residents and disdain for the communities there. Such statements are hateful and hurtful, and are unbecoming of Alaskans.

But legitimate or not, these arguments all miss the point. The governor has the power to specify where and when the session will happen. He has done so.

Only one constitutional call for a special session has been issued, and the governor issued it. It doesn’t matter how we feel about the governor’s call, or Wasilla, or the governor himself. All that matters is that we follow the Constitution and we follow the law.

That’s what I’m going to do. I’ll see you in Wasilla.

Mia Costello is the Senate Majority Leader who represents West Anchorage.

BREAKTHROUGH? GOVERNOR AGREES TO AMEND CALL TO INCLUDE SOME CAPITAL BUDGET ITEMS

Senate Majority Leader Mia Costello and House Minority Leader Lance Pruitt today asked Gov. Michael Dunleavy to add federal match dollars for airport and highway projects in the Department of Transportation capital budget to the call for the second legislative special session. 

“The members of the Alaska House and Senate who are supporting the constitutional call in Wasilla believe we have found a solution to this challenge. To help keep our state moving forward, we respectfully request that you add ‘state general fund match for airports and road programs in DOT&PF’ to your proclamation calling the legislature into special session on July 8th, 2019.

“With this language added to the call, we will be able to successfully fund these critical projects while we address the matter of the permanent fund dividend which you have placed on the call. We hope that you will give our request full consideration,” Costello and Pruitt wrote.

Late Friday, they got their answer: Gov. Dunleavy has agreed to amend his call for special session, on the condition the Legislature meets in Wasilla on Monday:

“At this point, the legislature needs to understand that the only path to a solution involves working with the governor and each other,” said Sen. Costello. “I hope that when the legislature arrives in Wasilla on Monday, that they’ll be ready to address the issues that Alaskans need addressed, such as funding for roads and infrastructure, and the PFD.”

Earlier today, Sen. Costello announced publicly that she would be attending the special session in Wasilla.

How many legislators will go to Wasilla, and how many to Juneau is still up in the air. At least 16 Republicans in the House plan to go to Wasilla, where Gov. Dunleavy has called the special session, and about six in the Senate will as well. Democrats in the House, and a handful of Republicans who collaborate with them may end up in Juneau, where Speaker Bryce Edgmon and Senate President Cathy Giessel say they will convene the Senate because they don’t want to go to Wasilla.

A private citizen spoke to Must Read Alaska today and is planning to ask for a legal injunction against the Juneau venue, because Gov. Dunleavy named Wasilla as the location of the second special session, and some view the Juneau decision as contrary to law.

“Roads are crucial to our economy, and we simply cannot allow legislative gridlock to jeopardize our roads.” said Rep. Pruitt. “I hope the governor will act on our request quickly and that our colleagues in the Senate will recognize the urgent need to come together in Wasilla to ensure that our road funding is secure.”

Sen. Mike Shower, of Wasilla, said, “I’m encouraged that our leaders are willing to put important road and infrastructure projects before politics. I look forward to supporting these projects during our upcoming special session.”

Even freshman legislator Rep. Kelly Merrick of Eagle River praised the effort to get some of the more critical capital spending projects onto the call, to relieve the stresses on those in the building trades. The deadline on many of those projects is around the end of July for work that will proceed in 2021.

“I encourage Governor Dunleavy to add this to the call for the second special session,” Merrick said. “These projects are crucial for Alaskans, and will provide jobs, economic growth, and ensure the safety of our families.”

Monday is the start date for the second special session, but at this point it looks like the Legislature is split on whether to honor the statute, which gives the governor the authority to name the venue.

Must Read Alaska has also learned that those going to Juneau will attempt to override the governor’s vetoes as early as Tuesday, but they’ll be missing at least 22 members, who will be convening at Wasilla Middle School. The Legislature needs 45 of 60 members to override the governor’s vetoes.

Alaska life hack: Keep your dog cool

Alaska life hack: Keep your dog cool

DON’T LET YOUR BEST BUDDY DIE IN A HOT CAR

Over the course of a half an hour on July 4, the Girdwood Fire Department responded to three reports of dogs locked inside cars.

They were hot dogs in hot cars on their way to a slow death.

Alaskans aren’t always mindful of car temperatures being too much for their pets, but dogs, like humans, are feeling this record-breaking heat.

Dogs don’t sweat, and they need lots of water and shade when temperatures rise. If the temperature outside is hotter than 70 degrees, your dog could be in danger — surprisingly quickly — if left in a locked car, says canidae.com

At 70 degrees outside, a car can heat up to 89 degrees in 10 minutes, and to 104 in 30 minutes. At 80 degrees, the inside of your car will reach 99 degrees in 10 minutes and 114 degrees in 30 minutes.

SIGNS OF HEAT STROKE IN A DOG

Dogs that are overheated can get heat stroke, and if they do, it’s serious, even fatal. Signs include excessive panting, vomiting, diarrhea, collapse, and very red gums, according to urdogs.com. Your best friend could end up in cardiac arrest from being overheated.

Heat stroke in your dog means you should get to a veterinarian quickly. If no vet is available, or even before you attempt to get to a vet, try getting your dog into a tub of cool water or hose your furry friend down with a garden hose, being sure to empty the hot water out of the hose first.

Do not give your dog aspirin, says petmd.com, and be extremely careful to keep the dog’s mouth and nose out of water while you cool it down. You don’t want Duke or Daisy to acquire pneumonia from aspirating the water. Allow your dog to drink as much water as it wants, but don’t force it.

Check for signs of shock, and take your dog’s temperature, continuing cooling it with water until its temperature drops below 103 degrees F, the experts advise.

Dogs with thick fur — and many in Alaska are blessed with an abundance of hair — or dogs that are obese are especially vulnerable. But so are dogs that are active and accustomed to expending a lot of energy, such as labs and retrievers. Working dogs on the move in our cold climate are vulnerable when unseasonably hot weather sets in.

Heatstroke in dogs can cause cellular damage, swelling of the brain, kidney failure, intestinal bleeding and abnormal clotting of blood. Death occurs in some 50 percent of cases.

On the way to the veterinarian, put your car air conditioner on as cool as you can make it. Your vet will likely administer fluids intravenously and monitor your dog’s vitals.

Stories from the fires

URBAN ANCHORAGE CRIME AND PUNISHMENT

Friday, July 5, just after 8 am, Anchorage police officers saw black smoke and flames in a wooded area near the intersection of Elmore Road and E. Tudor Road.

Between the police, Anchorage Fire Department and the wildfire crew that was mopping up the urban forest fire from earlier this week (called the MLK Fire), the fire was contained, and Kevin Slats, age 50, was arrested for starting it.

The exact cause of the Friday fire is under investigation.

Anchorage officials have not yet revealed the cause of the Tuesday MLK Fire, which emptied out a few neighborhoods before it was contained at about 30 acres on July 2.

But the area where the MLK Fire started is an area littered with unkempt and unsafe encampments that are occupied by various sorts of people, some down on their luck, many with criminal backgrounds and drug or alcohol addictions. Anchorage’s drug-and-crime encampments are a growing concern that city leaders call a homeless problem.

A burn ban has been in effect and all fireworks were cancelled throughout the municipality. Mayor Ethan Berkowitz recorded a public service announcement declaring the fireworks and burn ban, which includes a ban on bon fires, campfires, open flame cooking fires (except barbecues), portable outdoor fireplaces, fixed/built in outdoor fire places, grass or yard debris burning, and other heat sources that could start a grass or wildland fire.

But the camps don’t have televisions, generally, and some of the people living in the woods in Anchorage may not understand the seriousness of the fire danger. Kevin Slats, the man arrested in connection with the fire, has a long list of priors, including assault, shoplifting, and standing in the roadway obstructing traffic.

The fire took place in the vicinity of the Anchorage Police Department’s headquarters on Elmore, a mile and a quarter from the July 2 MLK Fire.

JULY 3: STRUNG-OUT WOMEN EMERGE FROM WOODS AT TROOPERS HQ

Must Read Alaska has learned that two women evacuated themselves out of the smoky woods on July 2 and perched themselves in back of the Alaska State Crime Lab, on MLK Ave., where they were discovered by a passing Trooper as they were shooting up heroin. They had evidently been living in the woods and had in their possession several wigs, masks, burglary tools, stolen coins, meth, and heroin. Their probation officers were called because Anchorage Police were too busy with the fire, and the probation officers took them into custody.

Budget veto override quest: Public officials organizing, objecting, stepping over the line

Budget veto override quest: Public officials organizing, objecting, stepping over the line

It’s not just university officials who are organizing to try to get veto overrides. And it’s not just the Supreme Court of Alaska that is lobbying for overrides of its budget cuts, using its official stationary.

Throughout government, officials are skimming from their publicly funded time, using their official titles, and deploying messages to the public on their government email lists to try to convince people to contact legislators to override Gov. Michael Dunleavy’s budget vetoes.

We offer just a few examples of this misuse of public resources:

Here’s a letter from Julie Cotterell begging students at the Kenai campus of the University of Alaska. Note that she continues to parrot the lie that the cut is 41 percent of the system’s current operating budget:

Dear KPC Students,

I know you have been getting a slew of emails regarding the budget, but your access to diverse and quality education in Alaska is in jeopardy.  The governor has cut the University of Alaska (UA) system by $135 million, which is a 41% reduction of our current operating budget. This cut will be devastating to the university. There will be no choice but to close campuses and cut education programs. The legislature has until July 12th to override the governor’s veto which only leaves us a very short window to let our legislators know how important higher education in Alaska is. 
 
We need your help to save our education system by contacting your legislator and let them know how important the University of Alaska is to you.  Let them know how this will impact you, your family, and your state’s economy.
 
You may contact them by sending a 50-word message via POM, send a letter/postcard (KPC/UAA has privately funded postcards available), or give them a phone call.  I have attached a copy of the latest issue of the UAStrong newsletter with the legislators contact information. 
 
Thank you for your support of KPC and UA!

Sincerely,

Julie Cotterell

Here’s part of a letter campaign that went out from Anchorage Public Library Director Mary Jo Torgerson, pictured above, who used her official title to ask Alaskans to fight the cuts. In it, she tries to make the cases that the 2,500 furloughed at the University — such as professors and other highly educated Alaskans — will need her library’s help to update their resumes and apply for jobs. It’s hard to imagine that university workers would need the Loussac Library’s help to accomplish such a task, but Torgerson gives it the old college try:

“2,500 staff at the University have already been furloughed and layoffs in government, nonprofit and private sectors are sure to come if the vetoes go through. The Library helps people update their resumes, apply for jobs and prepare for qualifying exams every day, and our weekly Job Labs at Loussac and Mountain View Libraries utilize community volunteers to help patrons through this process. We expect the need for this service to grow as a result of the cuts.

“Additionally cuts to the mental health programs, Municipal revenue sharing and public broadcasting will also have major negative impacts to our libraries and the people they serve, putting an even bigger burden on an already strained, under-funded resource,” Torgerson wrote.

[Read Mary Jo Torgerson’s entire plea to the community to fight the cuts here.]

But it wasn’t just the library’s budget Torgerson was advocating for — it was for a variety of programs that she, in her official capacity using official resources, described as essential, from school bond debt reimbursement to public broadcasting.

Add to that the writing professor in Anchorage who has leaned on her students to write their protestations (she gives them plenty of fodder, while allowing that some may have their own opinions).

[Read: University professor assigns writing students — protest the cuts, for credit]

The “#UA Strong” television ad that is playing everywhere in Alaska right now is fueled with money from the University of Alaska Foundation, which has not revealed itself as the source of this #UA Strong campaign. The foundation has spent another $40,000 on social media ads to implore people to help save the university’s funding, and another untold sum in yard signs and stickers. A back-of-the-napkin calculation indicates the University Foundation is spending at least $100,000 on lobbying for the veto overrides.

The Legislature will possibly gavel in on Monday and will have five days to override the governor’s final budget. But with half of the Legislature going to Juneau and the other half to Wasilla, it may be impossible for any of them to “gavel in.”

Dunleavy’s judicial correction

Dunleavy’s judicial correction

By BOB BIRD
GUEST COLUMNIST

As most Americans know, there are three co-equal branches to government: legislative, executive and judicial.

Except they’re not. As in co-equal. Understanding correct constitutional principles is about as rare as finding an uncut diamond while walking the beach. The fact that civics textbooks, law schools, judges and the mainstream press contribute to this woeful ignorance cements it all in place, of course.

Gov. Michael Dunleavy’s recent move in docking the judiciary’s administrative budget the sum of their unconstitutional abortion funding is an historic, unprecedented and excellent beginning in making the needed corrections. It will focus the public’s eye on the fact that courts are no friend of constitutions.

Calling them a “neutral referee” as retired Superior Court Justice Sen Tan did, or “impartial and fair”, as did Elaine Andrews (also retired Superior Court judge), is like pretending all the umpires in the World Series are ex-Yankees: There may be a neutral call or two but the outcome will never be in doubt. They have demonstrated that they want their turn at bat as well as on the pitcher’s mound.

Judges are political creatures who disguise their prejudices with long faces, black robes and the trappings of dignity that they do not deserve. They protect the case-law oligarchy of which they are a part, standing on the shoulders of generations of misapplied jurisprudence.

We can start with Montesquieu, whose influence permeated James Madison and Thomas Jefferson: “Of the three powers, the judiciary is next to nothing.”

And Alexander Hamilton in Federalist #78: “[The courts} have no influence over either the sword or the purse. It may be truly said that they have neither force nor will, but merely judgment.”

Of the three branches the true superior one is the legislative, which has the power to impeach and remove the executives and judicial members. One can gaze at the constitution all day and never see what courts have seized as if it were written in stone: “The judiciary shall be the sole interpreter of this constitution and shall have power to enforce their will through the Judicial Police.”

This means that the judiciary, who in Article 4, Section 1 of the state constitution has its powers defined and granted by the legislature, is a weak sister whose opinions may or may not be accepted by the executive, who possesses enforcement.

This is further demonstrated in Article 1, Section 22, the warping of which was instituted by the self-proclaimed “neutral referee” Mr. Tan in 2001, who insisted that “privacy” meant that abortions had to be funded, despite the clear language in Sec. 22 that declares “The legislature shall implement this section.”

Thus we have the daring overthrow of constitutional powers, which liberals imagine that they are the shining knights who protect them. Not only have the Alaskan courts assumed the power to create rights that they are clearly not permitted to define, but have seized the power of the purse from the legislative branch found in Article 9 of the constitution.

It is assumed that the legislature, in refusing to impeach the judiciary, has yielded to this overthrow of their own prerogatives. But have they? Since 2001 it would appear that they have exercised their powers found in Art. 1, Sec. 22 by placing a limit on privacy that does not include funding of abortion. And this was once again reiterated in 2019.

In 1973 many liberal constitutionalists, even those who favored legal abortion, were shocked at the high-handed and clearly unconstitutional action of Roe v. Wade. The lawyers in the several states have merely followed the lead begun in 1819 in McCulloch v. Maryland.It is good to see that here in Alaska, which Planned Parenthood defines as an “abortion safe state” in a post-Roe culture, a courageous move by a risk-taking governor has drawn a line in the sand, not only for the unborn but for proper constitutional understanding.

Bob Bird, a longtime conservative activist, ran for US Senate against Sen. Ted Stevens in 2008 on the Alaska Independence Party ticket.

Al Gross makes it official: Running for Senate

HIS AD TEAM IS PURE OBAMA-BEGICH

A nonpracticing surgeon who lives in Petersburg and Anchorage has made it official: Dr. Al Gross is running for U.S. Senate against incumbent Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan.

Gross is a registered nonpartisan but will attempt to run in the Alaska Democratic Party’s primary, which is open to non-Democrats who are either nonpartisan or undeclared. If he wins the primary, he’ll appear under the Democrat label on the General Election ballot.

Gross formed an exploratory committee in May and then toured the state before filing for office this week. His first campaign ad rollout indicates that his campaign consultant, Mark Putnam, is copy and pasting creative work he did when he helped former Sen. Mark Begich in 2014.

Back then, Putnam produced an ad with Begich riding his snow machine in an ad that some loved and others laughed at, but that left Begich with a frostbit right ear from the -40 escapade.

Mark Begich lost that election to rising star Dan Sullivan. Putnam’s first ad for Gross is basically a remake of the snow machine ad, but with Gross on his fishing boat in Southeast Alaska.

You can view the ad at this link.

Putnam also worked on President Obama’s 2008 and 2012 campaigns, and for several other prominent Democrats. He doesn’t work for Republicans.

Nonetheless, Al Gross wants voters to know he is purely nonpartisan. His particular issue is health care, and he is advocating for a plan that would make Medicare expanded for everyone. He is also pro-abortion, and believes in a federally established $15 minimum wage. He will fight climate change and hydrocarbons, and is opposed to the Pebble Mine.

As a nonpartisan, he has a tough road because there will likely be other entrants into the Democrats’ primary, and he’ll have to spend money just to appear on the ballot under the Democrat label in the 2020 General Election.

Unless, of course, the Democrats can’t find someone to run against Sen. Sullivan.

Question: How many glaciers are in Alaska?

Answer: It’s complicated. The U.S. Geological Survey recognizes 616 officially named glaciers in the state, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg since the overwhelming majority were never named. Some estimates put the number of glaciers close to 100,000, meaning that for every glacier with a name, there are at least ten others without one. Counting these frozen behemoths is a tricky task, as it’s often unclear when one glacier ends and another begins, but we do know that the total area of Alaska’s glaciers is about 34,000 square miles—roughly equal to the area of the state of Maine.

July 4, 1884: 135 years ago—John Henry Kinkead, on the appointment of President Chester Arthur, took office as the first governor of the District of Alaska. A lifelong Republican and dry goods merchant from Nevada, Kinkead was the first United States government official to hold public office in Alaska. In the spring of 1885, a personal dispute between Kinkead and infamous Presbyterian missionary Sheldon Jackson over mining interests in Alaska drew national attention, later leading to Kinkead’s resignation. The District of Alaska government remained in effect until 1912 when Alaska officially became a U.S. territory.

July 7, 1958: 61 years ago—President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Alaska Statehood Act into law, the passage of which allowed Alaska to officially become a state. There had been surprising opposition in Congress, mostly from southern Democrats concerned that Alaska’s new congressmen would be pro-civil rights. Some Republicans also worried that Alaska’s small population wouldn’t allow it to produce enough tax revenue to support itself and that it would eventually become a welfare state reliant on the federal government.

Alaska Supreme Court asks for veto override

Alaska Supreme Court asks for veto override

On Wednesday, the Alaska Supreme Court issued a statement to the Alaska Legislature asking for an override to Gov. Michael Dunleavy’s budget cut to the court system.

The justices asked that their cost of living allowances for their staff be restored, totaling $1.756 million. They also asked  $337,700 for two appellate courts. The Dunleavy Administration had given the justification that if the Supreme Court wants the State to pay for elective abortions, it should do so out of its own budget, since both the executive branch and the legislative branch have decided the state should not be paying for these abortions.

The judges used their letter to explain about the three co-equal branches of government.

“At its most basic, this means that the legislature makes the law, the governor enforces the law, and the supreme court, when faced with a constitutional challenge to a law, is required to decide it,” they wrote.

“Legislators, governors, and all other Alaskans certainly have the right to their own opinions about the constitutionality of government action, but ultimately it is the courts that are required to decide what the constitution mandates. In a democracy based on majority rule, it is important that laws be interpreted fairly and consistently. We assure all Alaskans that the Alaska Court System will continue to render independent court decisions based on the rule of law, without regard to the politics of the day,” they wrote.

The statement was on Alaska Supreme Court letterhead but was not signed.

The State has deficit spent for over four years by $14 billion. The governor says that since the State is up against a fiscal cliff, the State is faced with tough decisions.
