In this episode, we return to the topic of snowplow politics in Anchorage. In November, once again, the city was hit with back-to-back snowstorms. And once again, the roads were a huge mess.

For a winter city that relies on plowing so residents can get to work and schools can open, snowplowing quickly becomes a political issue — especially with a mayoral race coming up.

Host Elizabeth Harball talks to Daily News reporter Zachariah Hughes about why so many Anchorage roads went unplowed for days and the political fallout as Mayor Dave Bronson seeks reelection.
