Alaska Department of Administration Commissioner Kelly Tshibaka’s judgement is beginning to trouble me. She continues to compromise services to individual Alaskans in favor of businesses and out-of-state contractors. Procurement practices she oversees at the department have come under worrying scrutiny. Most recently, she is insisting on closing Division of Motor Vehicles offices in six locations around the state in order to pave the way for private vendors, who are likely to charge Alaskans as much as 10 times the fees for the same services.
