The Alaska Attorney General just invoked the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act (AS 39.52) to void all five fishing regulations that threatened our communities' way of life. Every single one. Gone.
We raised these concerns through every proper channel. We were ignored. We took legal action. Today, the state's own ethics enforcement process proved we were right.
This is a victory for every family in this Borough whose livelihood depends on these fisheries — and a clear message that our communities will not be silenced when the process fails us.
