Alaska Legislators Will Meet In Different Locations

“In a scene akin to something from a troubled foreign democracy or the American Civil War, members of a deeply divided Alaska Legislature will gather Monday in Wasilla and Juneau, each group claiming that its location is the rightful place for the latest special session of the Legislature,” the Anchorage Daily News reports.

Said House Minority Lance Pruitt (R): “There hasn’t been anything happen like this since like the Civil War, since West Virginia became a state. This is totally unprecedented and strange.”
