The signature gathering effort to recall Anchorage Assembly member Felix Rivera was strong this weekend, with organizers saying that they did well at all their locations and they’ve added a new one for Monday — Kriner’s Diner, at the corner of C Street and Fireweed, 2409 C Street, from noon – 3 pm.
The Sunday signature gathering takes place at the hotel controversially purchased by the Anchorage Municipality — the Golden Lion — which cost the city over $9 million, plus will cost several million more to rehabilitate it so it can be used for drug and alcohol rehabilitation. The public has expressed outrage that the Municipality used a shell game with CARES Act funds in order to move money around legally to purchase what was going to be an illegal use of CARES Act funds.
The group must turn in the signatures by the end of business on Tuesday to put the question on the ballot: Shall Felix Rivera be recalled?
For Sunday’s signatures, the group will be at the Golden Lion until 4 pm.
