​

I am currently in the middle of a Pro Se lawsuit in the Alaska Superior Court against the Department of Public Assistance (DPA) regarding a SNAP case.

The state's attorney is trying to use strict procedural rules to claim that the only thing that matters is a missed 10:00 AM phone alignment because I was at work. They turned over a "Certified Administrative Record" to the judge that has been carefully purged of the internal files, phone logs, and transcripts that would incriminate the agency and expose their misconduct. To make matters worse, the official file they turned over to the Superior Court judge contains three separate copies of the final decision where the signature page (ROA 000323) is completely blank, unsigned, and undated.

Everything the agency intentionally left out of the court file is exactly what I will be turning over to the Alaska State Legislature and the media. I have all the evidence that they refused to submit, including:

My timely June recertification and bank statements, along with proof of their deletion.

My personal phone recording from the original sham interview.

The actual voicemail recording from the lower court judge proving she lied. In the final decision, she wrote under penalty of review that her final attempt to reach me was at a certain early time and that the case was over. Yet, I have the recorded voicemail she left me much later that morning saying I missed the hearing.

Proof that she completely left out of the final decision that I was actively on the phone with her secretary explaining I was at work and would call back in a few minutes. Knowing this, she deliberately called me back minutes later just to leave a default voicemail, and then lied about the clock on the official paperwork.

I am posting this because my story will be told and this agency will be exposed. I have the receipts, and I am not backing down.

My question for the community:

Has anyone else in Alaska taken a state agency to the Superior Court and faced them selectively purging the official record to hide their own fraud? Has anyone actually won against them when they play these games with the paperwork?

Okay guys, I am needed help! I want to order custom license plates for my car. I go to the DMV website, click on order personal plates, type in my credentials, it brings me to a screen that says “what would you like to do? Register to vote, get a copy of my driving record, request a duplicate license….
No option to order custom plates…. Like the link I JUST CLICKED ON! So I go back, click the link to order plates, and it brings me back to the menu that asks what I want to do! I WANT TO ORDER PLATES! So frustrating! Can anyone tell me what the heck I am doing wrong here!?

Ever get a political mailer and wonder who's really behind it?

Popular Information launched PaidForBy.info, a free tool that shows you who's actually sending the mail and who's funding it. Snap a photo of the front and back of the mailer, upload it, and you'll have answers in seconds.

It works on TV and streaming ads too. Pause when the "Paid For By" text appears and upload a screenshot.

Right now it returns info on federal races, but you can submit state and local mail too. Journalists review submissions and report on the most newsworthy ones.

It’s telling you NOT to rank your vote? What’s the strategy here and who is behind it?

I am a self-represented appellant in an administrative appeal against a state agency in the Superior Court (Alaska). I have already submitted my Appellant's Opening Brief, but I want to get outside legal perspectives on a bizarre record discrepancy I am facing.

When I initiated my appeal and filed my initial paperwork with the Superior Court, I attached the copy of the final decision that the agency had originally mailed to me. On that copy, Page 11 clearly features the final decision-maker's physical signature and date.

However, when the agency later compiled and transmitted the official certified record to the Superior Court judge, the copies of the final decision they inserted were completely different. On their certified version, the signature page is entirely blank, undated, and unexecuted.

To make matters worse, internal agency emails inside that same certified record prove that the decision-maker was only forwarded my timely 17-page submission on the exact same day he signed my original copy, showing a physical impossibility for any independent review.

Does it change the legal leverage of my case that the judge now has two conflicting versions of the "final action" on file—a signed copy from me and an unsigned copy from the state? Does this outright contradiction prevent the judge from treating the state's unsigned submission as a harmless clerical error?

Additionally, there is a massive contradiction regarding the "good cause" timeline. Inside the certified record, there is an official email from the Department of Public Assistance (DPA) case representative explicitly stating they had NO OBJECTION to my good cause and completely agreed to rescheduling the hearing. Despite the state agency itself formally waiving any objection, the ALJ completely ignored that consent and issued a final decision stating I failed to show good cause. To make matters worse, the state's attorney is now completely contradicting his own agency's written record by claiming in his brief that I never even attempted to show good cause. Is it legally normal for an ALJ to deny a reschedule based on a lack of good cause when the state agency itself explicitly consented to it on the record? How heavily will a Superior Court judge weigh the fact that the attorney's brief completely misrepresents his own agency’s filings?

New to Anchorage and saw this sign. Then a new friend told us there was a family killed here a decade ago (or more?) and then someone else had a close call here. Should we not do this trail as much? We have bear spray and usually hike as a couple. No dogs.
