Link: KTUU Name-calling interrupted Tuesday night's Anchorage Assembly meeting as members debated the city's priorities in Mayor Dan Sullivan's six-year plan and how to pay for them. Assemblyman Bill Starr implied his colleague Sheila Selkregg was a communist for proposing amendments to the plan that included one under the title "Social Equity." "If you think that makes me a communist, I think ... you sound a lot like a McCarthy person," Selkregg responded. The Assembly eventually OK'd Selkregg's amendments, which were promptly vetoed by the mayor because, he said, he'd been given no warning they were coming.
