Alaska Senate Bars Lawmaker from State Capitol

“The Alaska Senate voted on Wednesday to allow its leaders to exclude Sen. Lora Reinbold (R) from the state Capitol and most in-person legislative activities because of repeated refusals to follow precautions against COVID-19,” the Anchorage Daily News reports.

“Immediately after the vote, Reinbold attempted to convene a meeting of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which she chairs. The Senate secretary and Senate President Peter Micciche (R) withdrew all staff from the meeting.”
