(SitNews) Ketchikan, Alaska - After a initial round of petition signing, the Dunleavy Recall efforts have been approved for a second round of petition signing. I visited the Ketchikan event at the Ted Ferry Civic center Sunday.

Events are happening for the next month around the state. You can get information at the Dunleavy Recall web site. There are also efforts formed or forming to defend the governor as well, nothing local that I know of.

This event gathered 429 signatures.

Editor's Note:

Regarding Charlotte's opinion statement in this interview that the governor defunded the PDF & giving land instead.... For clarification: Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy introduced legislation on February 21, 2020 to establish the PFD Land Voucher program to promote putting more land into Alaskans’ hands. The bills, HB 270 & SB 217, would allow dividend-eligible Alaskans the OPTION to receive a voucher worth TWICE the monetary value of the statutory dividend calculation to be applied toward purchase of state land. The PFD land vouchers would be transferrable, would not expire, could be combined for purchase of a single parcel,  and could be used along with the state veterans’ land sales programs. - Mary Kauffman, Editor SitNews
