JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) An Alaska lawmaker said he plans to use his legislative office account to pay for a trip to Arizona to visit a partisan audit of the 2020 election.
Rep. David Eastman, a Wasilla Republican, told the Anchorage Daily News the trip was on behalf of his constituents and said he wasn t aware of any other Alaska legislators attending. Some legislators from other states, including Pennsylvania, have recently attended.
The Alaska Legislature is in a special session, though floor and committee action has been limited as negotiators try to reach a budget deal.
Unidentified cyberattackers force Alaska Court System to disconnect from internet
Print article JUNEAU A cyberattack has caused the Alaska Court System to disconnect most of its operations from the internet, an act expected to block electronic court filings, disrupt online payments and prevent hearings from taking place by videoconference for several days. The Courtview system used to look up court records has been taken offline, as has the court system’s website. “I think for a few days, there may may be some inconveniences, there may be some hearings that are canceled, or some judges who decide to shift from videoconference to teleconference proceedings or the like. We don’t have all of that figured out yet,” said Alaska Supreme Court Chief Justice Joel Bolger, the court system’s top administrative officer.
