In today's newsletter:
-
The primary cause of death for a man who died while being restrained by Anchorage jail guards last year was asphyxia, a state review found. The state will not prosecute the correctional officers who restrained him.
-
New drone, sensor and radar technology being used by the state to help mitigate avalanches is expected to boost safety for drivers and winter maintenance crews in Alaska.
-
The Alaska Senate voted to apply the state's corporate income tax to oil and gas companies that currently pay no such tax. Estimates have said the change could raise over $100 million per year.

Anchorage weather
It's sunny today with a high around 27 degrees. We'll continue to enjoy clear skies through this week and over the weekend, with daytime temperatures hovering in the high 20s for the next few days.
