Print article The Anchorage Assembly on Tuesday extended the city’s COVID-19 declaration of emergency to June 11. The meeting was marked by tension and heated moments between Assembly members and residents in attendance, and one man was escorted from the Assembly chambers and trespassed out of Loussac Library by Anchorage police. In a 6-4 vote, the Assembly passed the resolution from Acting Mayor Austin Quinn-Davidson to extend the emergency proclamation, which was first enacted March 12, 2020. It is the eighth extension of the emergency. Before the vote, many members indicated it would likely be the last such extension of the emergency.
