A Tale of Two Suzannes: correcting misinformation from Must Read Alaska

Send us Fan MailOn this special bonus episode we debunk an inflammatory story about Assembly chair Suzanne LaFrance. The inaccurate article was authored by Suzanne Downing, a widely read right-wing blogger. For Anchorage residents who have been watching  Suzanne LaFrance chair the assembly this past year, the story seemed farfetched. LaFrance does not present herself as someone with an out-of-control temper. And as you’re about to hear, the story is not true. The facts are that the mayor and his staff left LaFrance out of the loop regarding the new police chief's confirmation, misrepresented her and the assembly to the police department, and allowed a defamatory story to circulate in right-wing media.
