They say politics is Alaska’s favorite sport — but this year in Juneau, no one’s sure exactly how the game is going to be played. The Senate and the House have yet to organize – and with the pandemic in the backdrop and state finances on life support, it’ll be a year that will call for some tough decisions.
On the January 15th edition of Juneau Afternoon, Rhonda McBride talks politics. Some of the highlights:
- Why Gavel to Gavel junkies have a lot to look forward to. KTOO Production Manager Mikko Wilson describes how the new robotic camera system at the State Capitol will improve your viewing experience.
- Two of Alaska’s top political reporters, Andrew Kitchenman from KTOO and Alaska Public Media and James Brooks from the Anchorage Daily News, weigh in on why this is a session full of wildcards.
- How one group hopes to keep climate change on the legislature’s radar this session. Dick Farnell and Noah Williams of 350 Juneau will tell us about plans to hold events outside the Capitol on Fridays.
Rhonda McBride hosts Juneau Afternoon on Friday, January 15th, live at 3:00 p.m. on KTOO Juneau 104.3, online at KTOO.org, and repeated at 4:00 p.m. on KRNN 102.7.
