Sad 🙁 So Alaska’s governor appears to be a tyrant after all?

Dan Fagan was hoping Dunleavy would use his bully pulpit to stand up to Berkowitz. Now we see he supported Berkowitz’s mask mandates, and says other leaders should impose them, instead of telling the people about vitamin D3, C and zinc, led by Dr. Zink.

On masks, Alaska Gov. Dunleavy tells local leaders to use power they say they don’t have

But municipal officials say there’s a problem with the governor’s position: They argue that Dunleavy is asking local elected leaders to exercise power that they don’t have. In both the Kenai Peninsula Borough and Matanuska-Susitna Borough — two of the places where COVID-19 cases are rising the most quickly — government officials say they lack the legal power to impose a mask mandate.

Dunleavy disagrees, saying that state attorneys have a different interpretation of Alaska law and arguing that local mandates would hold up in court.
