Alaska: Podcast interview with petitioner on Anchorage Assembly Chair recall set

Here's an podcast interview with one of the leaders of the recall effort against Anchorage Assembly Chair Felix Rivera, which is set for the April 6th General Election. Rivera has filed a lawsuit to toss out the recall effort.

The write-up notes the purchase of a hotel for a shelter as an impetus, though previously stories seem to focus on the claim that Rivera didn't stop a meeting which, due to the size of the audience, violated the emergency order limiting crowds during the coronavirus pandemic (there may have been 17 people at the meeting, which had a limit of 15).

Petitions have been rejected for Assembly members Meg Zaletel, Austin Quinn-Davidson and Kameron Perez-Verdia. New petitions are being reviewed for Quinn-Davidson and Perez-Verdia.
