Mayor Bronson vetoes Anchorage Assembly ordinance over meeting rules:
Anchorage Mayor Dave Bronson vetoed an ordinance that added rules and procedures to city code for conducting Assembly meetings, saying that some of the rules violate free speech and state laws about firearms and calling it “another attempt” by the Assembly to take power away from the executive branch of municipal government.
The Assembly will hold a meeting in the coming days to hold a vote on whether to overturn the mayor’s veto, she said. A supermajority of eight votes is needed to override the veto. Bronson contended that the section could be used by the chair to restrict people attending Assembly meetings from carrying a firearm or knife, which he called “inconsistent with state law.”
During a meeting last year on a proposed mask ordinance, a man who was escorted out by police was found to be carrying a concealed gun. However, he was not removed from the chambers or arrested because he had a weapon in the chambers, Constant said.for creating a disruption and for failing to disclose to police that he was carrying a concealed weapon. The man was charged with disorderly conduct and misconduct involving a weapon.
