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.

In late January, a state court ruled that the attempted recall of Anchorage Assembly Chair Felix Rivera can go forward. Using almost identical reasoning to the courts decisions in the lawsuit over the recall of Gov. Mike Dunleavy, Superior Court Judge Dani Crosby said that it s up to Midtown Anchorage voters to decide whether the grounds stated by recall proponents are sufficient cause to remove Rivera from office. It s not a coincidence that the decisions in the two cases were so similar under Alaska law, although recalls must have cause, there is no minimum threshold for that cause. And although under the Alaska Constitution, voters are meant to decide the recall on the legal grounds stated, in practice, it s a referendum on how voters feel about Rivera and Dunleavy.

Sorry about the delay on Sunday’s column. I was exhausted last night. We are almost three weeks into the legislative session and the House has still not organized. The Senate continues to hold committee hearings, though the only one with any semblance of normalcy is the Senate Finance Committee. If you watched the Super Bowl yesterday, I hope you enjoyed the food and drinks because the game was horrible.
