The Anchorage municipal ombudsman has been at the center of several recent news stories about turmoil within city government. That includes a recent incident when municipal employees accused someone in Mayor Dave Bronson’s office of saying they were checking surveillance videos to see who was going to the ombudsman’s office.

In this episode, host Elizabeth Harball speaks with Anchorage Ombudsman Darrel Hess to answer those questions and more.
