Monday, April 16, 2012, Juneau, Alaska – Alaska House Rules Chair Craig Johnson reacted with shock and disgust today upon hearing allegations made by Alaska Senate Rules Chair Johnny Ellis that the House made a deal with the Senate on end-of-session bills and that the House broke the mythical deal.

I am shocked that Senator Ellis would make such a ridiculous claim to try and save face for the Senate’s failure to pass the governor’s child sex trafficking bill and other critical public safety and military veteran support bills,” Johnson, R-Anchorage, said. “It’s simply not true – we would never trade bills over something like child sex trafficking, suicide prevention – which we passed, and honoring veterans. I’m disgusted.
