"Lora Reinbold"

The judge, a Trump appointee, said that Reinbold — a non-attorney representing herself in the case — failed to properly state her claims.

Former state Sen. Lora Reinbold sued Alaska Airlines in April, saying the airline violated her constitutional rights when it banned her from its planes after she confronted airline officials in Juneau over the company’s policy on facemasks.

Reinbold says in her complaint that the airline violated her constitutional rights and caused her stress and humiliation.

An Anchorage judge says Sen. Reinbold acted as an official maintaining a ‘limited’ public forum when she blocked an Eagle River woman, but doesn’t resolve why.

Over the past year, three state lawmakers have been sued for blocking comments on their social media accounts.

If Pierce and his running mate quit before Tuesday, Kurka would fill the No. 4 spot in the general election.

The draft included an ‘everything or nothing’ approach toward public comments.

Sen. Tom Begich, a Democrat from Anchorage, said the bill’s vague language could prevent teachers from discussing topics like the civil rights movement or Jim Crow laws.

Lawmakers spent a record amount of time at the capitol this year trying to agree on a budget.

Juneau’s civic leaders are always wary of simmering sentiments to move the state capital. Donating buildings to the Legislature is one way they try to quiet those calls.
