Former AG Flunks Election Rules | Anchorage News

0:00It's September 1st. This is Anchorage News Today, driven by AI. So, Tregg Taylor, the former attorney general, is running for office, right? He's supposed to know the rules, being the top law man in all. But now, when it comes to election rules, he's acting like they don't apply to him. It's like he thinks he's above the law he used to enforce. The Alaska Public Office's commission looked at the paperwork he submitted for funding. They said it didn't follow the rules, specifically about listing the full names of everyone who gave him money. This is a pretty basic requirement for transparency, you know? When you're in charge of upholding the law, you think you'd be the first one to follow it. But the commission basically said his filing wasn't good enough. It seems like that should have been the end of it right there, no debate needed. It's a strange situation when someone who wrote the rulebook is now trying to bend it for their own campaign. You have to wonder what that says about his respect for the process. Just something to think about as this plays out.
