ProPublica | AUDIO: Investigator: “Political Implications” Mean Alaska Won’t Take Many LGBTQ+ Civil Rights Cases @ProPublica | Uploaded April 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
In January, a former library worker tried to file a civil rights complaint against Judy Eledge, a top library employee appointed by Gov. Mike Dunleavy.
In a conversation that the library worker recorded and shared with the Anchorage Daily News and ProPublica, an investigator with the Alaska State Commission for Human Rights said that the office had been instructed not to get involved in most cases involving LGBTQ+ issues.
Despite Eledge’s history of inflammatory comments, social media posts and public testimony, officials have rewarded her with power and public money. What’s more, the Daily News and ProPublica found that city and state officials have muzzled the government agencies tasked with protecting civil rights.
