Anchorage Chamber of Commerce’s “Make it Monday” forums have existed for over 65 years. It is an opportunity for business owners to become informed about educational opportunities, and industry updates, municipal and government reports, reports on economic forecasts and new industry outlooks. 


The Chamber is investing its efforts to provide support to the SCHI community resource center. The July 17 forum will be an opportunity for businesses to become informed of the intentions of the Mt View resource center. , and how they too can contribute to the community resource center.  


According to the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce, SCHI’s community resource center “is being developed in Mountain View, Anchorage that will provide services for the entire community consisting of financial literacy education, DOL – job center, internet cafe (access to free internet), child drop-in center for end-users receiving services, behavior health education, office space for lease, and culinary arts training for beginners and kitchen safety for children in a certified kitchen, and more!” 


In June, SCHI held a Juneteenth Event that allowed visitors the opportunity to tour the blank canvas of a building GCI so kindly donated to SCHI. GCI promised its service to the resource center for five years. GCI service will prove to be invaluable to the resource center in its efforts to bring knowledge and communication to those community members wanting to invest in themselves.  


GCI’s Trailblazer of the Year of 2022 and SCHI’s CEO Sheneé Williams explained the resource center will rely heavily on its relationship with the chamber of commerce. Williams discussed working with the banking and commerce industries to guide clients through all facets of financial literacy.  


Williams explained, “We’re going to have all the way from the novice just knowing how to build a budget, all the way to wealth building, retirement planning, investment planning, the whole nine yards is what’s going to be provided from the financial perspective.” 


Successful clients of the resource center becoming business owners contributes to the community and the goals of the chamber of commerce. Early intervention to teach a client financial literacy and entrepreneurship can have generational effects for a family’s future.  


SCHI also wants to see external changes, with bringing back beauty and a sense of pride in one’s community. Communities well cared for have a healthy small business class that provides employment opportunities. This appears to be the tool SCHI plans to use to restore Mt View into a safe and financially stable environment that benefits its residents. The community resource center will also serve all Alaskans.

A List of Alaska Appellate Court Cases Involving Patterns of OCS Abuse of Families

The Frailties of Alaska's SCO 1993

The Frailties of Alaska's Supreme Court 1993 By Jessica Schultz Pleasant Since statehood in 1959 Alaskans have enjoyed a process outside the inbred court system to demand justice for official wrongdoing through an independent grand jury. Most Alaskans do not need to know about this aspect of our government established in the Alaska Constitution until they are wronged in a way that requires extraordinary means for achieving justice. Kenai Resident, David Haeg , sought this means for gaining justice over some 18 years. He has claimed he was framed by the AK Department of Fish & Game and was denied an independent grand jury. Once heard, the grand jury issued an indictment of Retired Judge Margaret Murphy for perjury. She is now experiencing the AK Justice system from the other side of the bench.

The Alaska Grand Jury: The State's "Need for Process" Scam

  On March 15th 2022, Alaskans protested outside courthouses across Alaska. They demanded the Alaska Supreme Court overrule its Order 1993 (SCO 1993). With essentially no input by members of The Alaska's Legislature's Rules Committee, the highest court had created rule 6.1 formed of whole cloth. The Legislature’s Rules Committee reviews language with recommendations from Legislative Legal for constitutionality. That didn’t happen in this case because it was a reactionary act responding to demands of Alaskans for accountability. This new law restricts citizens’ rights to petition the grand jury to investigate into official misconduct. The subject of grand jury process has been debated for centuries, there was no need to rush. Except, the rules were changed and enacted just weeks before a subpoenaed testimony of Alaska’s lead judicial investigator Marla Greenstein, as she has had the role for nearly 35 years. According to the Peninsula Clarion, the Kenai Peninsula Borough As...
