"I will not support the motion that's on the floor. I don't believe it's respectful to the dozens of people who have showed up tonight and spoken out and made real requests over many, many months of deliberation."
“I will not support the motion that's on the floor. I don't believe it's respectful to the dozens of people who have showed up tonight and spoken out and made real requests over many, many months of deliberation.”
Thank you. I would like to thank everybody who showed up tonight and provided testimony, particularly those, um, immediately impacted by police violence. I will not support the motion that's on the floor. I don't believe it's respectful to the dozens of people who have showed up tonight and spoken out and made real requests over many, many months of deliberation. I support Vice Chair Voland's, um, idea of moving to the original version tonight.
After hearing emotional testimony from families who lost loved ones to police shootings, the Anchorage Assembly voted 8-4 Tuesday to postpone debate on a substitute version of a public safety oversight commission that would give APD and other agencies voting seats.

The Anchorage Assembly voted 11-1 Tuesday to transfer a 9.6-acre Heritage Land Bank parcel to Alaska Natural Burial, a nonprofit that will create Anchorage's first natural burial cemetery. The move addresses the city's burial space shortage after Anchorage Memorial Park reached capacity and a 2024 cemetery bond failed.
