It was a collaborative effort between a town in eastern Alaska, Tok in the Tanana Valley, and the Alaska Energy Authority program to provide a $400,000 priced school bus to the local children.

 Will Project Veritas exist without the public image of Project Veritas? By Jessica Schultz Pleasant On February 20, 2023, fans of former CEO of Project Veritas James O’Keefe were shocked by the news O’Keefe would be resigning as CEO of Project Veritas.
