Print article JUNEAU Gov. Mike Dunleavy has named former Anchorage police officer Glen Klinkhart the permanent head of the state agency that regulates alcohol and marijuana in Alaska. Klinkhart has been the interim boss of the Alaska Alcohol and Marijuana Control Office since November 2019. In separate actions, the governor declined to reappoint several members of the boards that oversee the agency. Klinkhart said the switch from interim to permanent director doesn’t change his “job performance.” “It’s all the same to me and my staff, and I told the chief of staff that too,” he said. Lacy Wilcox, president of the Alaska Marijuana Industry Association, said the move is a positive one.
