🌱 Campaign Laws Broken + Teachers Rallying + Children's Day

Hello, people of Anchorage! It's me again, Miranda Fraraccio, your host of the Anchorage Daily.

First, today's weather:

A p.m. shower in places. High: 42 Low: 35.

Here are the top stories today in Anchorage:

1. Alaskans for Posterity has broken campaign laws by spending money to oppose candidates, while not disclosing its top three donors. The shadow group meant to trick voters with a name similar to Americans for Prosperity Alaska, has spent advertising dollars to do a radio air-bombing of Gov. Mike Dunleavy, and has published a flier in the past month attacking Eagle River Assemblywoman Jamie Allard, both declared candidates. The ads have been linked to the Ship Creek Group and Lottsfeldt Strategies. (Must Read Alaska)
2. The FBI is seeking information related to an Oct. 14 Anchorage bank robbery. An unknown suspect had entered the First National Bank Alaska branch located at 1210 West Northern Lights Blvd. in Anchorage, and presented a note demanding money from a bank employee. Witnesses have described the suspect, who fled the scene on a bicycle, as a slim male individual, approximately 5’5” to 5’7” in height. (Alaska Native News)
