Anchorage Charter Commission member Jane Angvik ran for the Anchorage Charter Commission not too long after she had moved to Anchorage in 1973. What she had learned during her time working for the Greater Anchorage Borough Planning Department was that the City of Anchorage and the Borough of Anchorage hated each other – they couldn’t stop suing each other, and the State of Alaska had grown weary of the drama. The ridiculous conflict even resulted in the loss of life. This is Jane Angvik’s recollections of her time serving on the Charter Commission.
For the rest of Jane Angvik’s life story listen to the previous episode which covers her childhood in Minnesota all the way to her administering the oath of office to Anchorage Mayor Suzanne LaFrance two weeks ago.
