Assemblyman wants Fairbanks borough to help plaintiffs in redistricting case

Fairbanks Daily News-Miner

FAIRBANKS - The Borough Assembly will reconsider a motion to provide financial support to the remaining plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the state’s election redistricting board.

A vote to provide $25,000 in legal services for two Fairbanks-area men, George Riley and John Dearborn, failed during a special assembly meeting Thursday night on a 5-3 vote.

However, newly seated Assemblyman Guy Sattley has requested the assembly vote again at its Nov. 17 meeting.

Will the Borough Assembly send money to help save a Democrat House member from being potentially displaced by the new Redistricting plan?
