The Fairbanks North Star Borough Board of Ethic determined that former Borough Assemblywoman Savannah Fletcher committed several ethics violations in connection with a series of radio segments she recorded in 2023.
The ruling, made after a complaint was filed by North Pole resident Rita Trometter in September 2024, found that Fletcher failed to properly disclose that she was speaking in a personal capacity rather than on behalf of the Assembly.
Trometter’s complaint cited Fletcher’s radio segments on KFAR and TED FM 103.9, in which she discussed Assembly meeting agendas and upcoming votes. The Board of Ethics concluded that Fletcher’s choice of topics and language expressed a particular perspective, and was not simply neutral information. She was engaged in persuasive communication.
The ethics board found that Fletcher, who is a lawyer who files complaints against conservatives for her day job, framed certain issues, such as school funding and climate action initiatives, with implied opinions and did not state they were her personal opinions. She used phrases like “watered-down climate action plan,” and “do you support the schools?” where she indicated that a vote against funding would lead to larger class sizes.
There are similarities to a 2023 case involving Assembly member Barbara Haney, who was cited for failing to clarify that a newspaper opinion piece reflected her personal views. She was fined $1.
Fletcher’s request for a summary judgment dismissing portions of the charges was denied. Fletcher will not be fined $1, like Haney was. In Haney’s case, the Assembly also issued a formal censure and the symbolic one-dollar fine—a decision currently under appeal in Alaska Superior Court.
oh look its mary !
wow was she a worthless twit
great job dimlibbys, you nailed it AGAIN
This little woman (actually an Amazon) is a member of the lawsuit happy Northern Justice Project. She and her husband, along with a couple of other attorneys in Fairbanks and Anchorage, are recent transplants from California. They target Republicans and conservatives in their legal actions. NJP has ties to Scott Kendall, the brother in law of Mayor Grier Hopkins. The odds are high that Savannah Fletcher will be the recipient of multiple bar complaints based on her unethical conduct as an attorney while serving on the Assembly.
That organization is involved in underhanded projects all over the country and is very likely responsible for the “land acknowledgement” bs that has been brought up here. No doubt powered in large part by USAID tax money.
Didn’t Ms. Fletcher take Professional Responsibility courses while in law school? Or did she miss those classes while she was scheming on how to destroy other people’s careers? Chief Justice Sue Carney must be so proud to have had someone like Ms. Fletcher clerking for her. A true miscreant of legal ethics.
Fletcher is as dishonest as the Alaska summer day is long. And it’s all coming out in due course.
Thank you, Senator Mike Cronk…….for saving the district from this scandalous creature. Her megalomania and misconduct truly show how unfit she is for future office.
$1. That fixes everything.
Probably will boost her political career.
I sure am glad that Mike Cronk was elected to the Alaska State Senate which ended Savana’s Alaskan political career at least for a while. She will emerge again I know. Her ego will not let her standby the wayside and watch.
Now there is a photo that exceeds any words or descriptions with their million dollar smiles.
Their constituents pictured in the background must be very proud of their representatives who speak for them.
Sounds like a perfect resume for a job on NPR.
Sounds pretty tame compared to the convicted felon Trump’s transgressions, public and private, and those of most of his cronies and hangers-on, several of which needed pardons to get out of jail.
Disgrace to our community! Go back to where you came from!
This mountain will be moved!
