This afternoon when the resolution was introduced at the Assembly meeting, the unions and supporters turned out in unprecedented numbers to protest. Crowd size was from 750 to 1,000. A lot of us couldn't get inside, several hundred. Here are a couple of very short videos I shot.
Here's the report from the Anchorage Daily News. http://www.adn.com/2013/02/12/2787033/unions-pack-assembly-to-protest.html#wgt=rcntnews It's really encouraging to see people getting out and getting involved.
