The Anchorage Assembly voted today to override Mayor Dave Bronson’s veto of an ordinance that gives the Assembly a process to remove a mayor for a breach of public trust.

Anchorage Assembly member Chris Constant addresses members of the media at the Loussac Library on June 7, 2022. Constant authored the ordinance that allows for the Assembly to remove a mayor for a breach of public trust.

The Anchorage Assembly has overridden Mayor Dave Bronson’s veto of an ordinance that gives the Assembly a process to remove a mayor from office for a breach of public trust.Under the ordinance, there are a dozen offenses that would constitute a breach of public trust, including perjury, asking a municipal employee to break the law and falsifying records.

The new ordinance does not get rid of the ability for citizens to organize a recall, it just adds another avenue for a mayor to be removed. Supporters of the measure say it creates a set of clear boundaries that a mayor must follow.
