Attorneys for U.S. Senate candidate Joe Miller have named former Fairbanks borough Mayor Jim Whitaker as a third-party defendant in a lawsuit Alaska media outlets brought against the borough to gain access to Miller's employment files.

A Fairbanks judge is expected to rule this weekend on a lawsuit filed by several Alaska media outlets to obtain more information about Republican U.S. Senate candidate Joe Miller's actions while employed by the Fairbanks North Star Borough.

Fairbanks is known for how much it appreciates the military. With a regular deployment schedule and heavy training, it's less common for soldiers to show their appreciation for their host town, but Capt. Justino Lopez has been making a point of getting his soldiers involved in the community since their most recent deployment.

An intoxicated Fairbanks woman let her 7-year-old son drive her car as she was passed out next to him, according to Alaska State Troopers.
