Alaska Ombudsman Investigates Borough Election Process

According to the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, the state ombudsman’s office is in the final stages of an investigation into the manner in which the Alaska Local Boundary Commission (LBC) expects to conduct the election on the question of whether to form a Deltana Borough. The ombudsman’s office has communicated its findings to the commission, but has not yet publicly released the findings.

The paper also reports that a Delta woman is suing the LBC and a group, Alaskans for Freedom and Reform., is opposing the formation of the borough.
