"Governor's Mansion"

The tree’s placement at the governor’s mansion coincides with the Christmas season, but it’s meant to represent more than just one winter holiday. 

The Alaska Public Interest Research Group submitted a letter to Attorney General Kevin Clarkson’s office on Tuesday asking for an investigation into whether the December fundraiser violated the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act.

Hundreds turned out for the annual Christmas gathering at the Governor’s Mansion.

Gov. Mike Dunleavy hosted an open house at the governor’s mansion Tuesday. The event was an opportunity for Juneauites to meet the governor and first lady in their home, as well as sample a few cookies.

The transition team said Alaskans can expect a combination of formal events and less formal, family-centered events across the state in December.

“I think it’s really fun to get a chance to meet the governor and to eat cookies,” said Michelle Weaver.

The Governor’s Mansion will be open from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday for the annual holiday open house.

Video surveillance showed a car ramming the garage door, which was damaged.

Gov. Bill Walker, Lt. Gov. Byron Mallott and their families greeted Juneau residents at the Governor’s Mansion Tuesday for the annual holiday open house.

Terry VanLeuven says he gave a framed copy of the picture to Steve Cowper when he was elected as governor in 1986.
