The Sunday Minefield – February 14, 2021
It’s Valentine’s Day! Shout out to all my fellow singles who don’t have to stress out about another American consumerist day. It’s was two years ago today when Representative
Bryce Edgmon (I – Dillingham) was re-elected Speaker of the House, in what many referred to as the Valentine’s Day Massacre. Representative
Louise Stutes (R – Kodiak) was elected Speaker of the House this week, though the House is far from organized.

Dec. 24, 2020: A month ago, KINYradio.com published a copy of my November 19 letter to Governor Dunleavy requesting that he refrain from filling the newly created vacancy on the Court of Appeals until the Alaska Judicial Council (“AJC”) had corrected the flaws in their list of nominees.
I recently learned that KINY later published an opinion piece written by Ms. Susanne DiPietro, the Executive Director of the AJC, defending their practices. I would like to provide KINYradio.com readers with an important update on this crucial matter and then reply to a separate, but important issue that Ms. DiPietro has raised.
Print article Gov. Mike Dunleavy has picked Chugiak attorney Timothy Terrell for a new seat on Alaska’s Court of Appeals. Dunleavy’s office announced the pick in a written statement on Friday morning. Terrell will fill the new fourth spot on the state appeals court. The Alaska Legislature approved the creation of that seat in March, after the Alaska Court System said the appeals court was receiving new cases faster than it could hear them. The governor’s office did not immediately respond to a question asking why the governor picked Terrell over the other two nominees, Trisha Haines of Fairbanks and Brooke Berens of Anchorage. All three were nominated by the nonpartisan Alaska Judicial Council in mid-November after a series of interviews, public meetings and a survey of Alaska attorneys.
