Voters recall NSB Mayor Brower

Residents of the North Slope Borough have voted to recall Mayor Charlotte Brower.

Anchorage television station KTUU (http://bit.ly/22cC4GN) reports 62 percent of voters backed Brower’s ouster in a special election April 5.

The mayor was not immediately available to comment.

Brower came under fire after revelations that borough money had been spent on purchases from and for her family members, including sending her grandchild to a basketball camp sponsored by NBA great Michael Jordan.

Brower in February paid an unusually large fine for campaign finance violations. The Alaska Public Offices Commission in September approved the $34,970 penalty for what it called “egregious” violations of campaign finance laws.

A group called People for Responsible Government organized to urge voters to replace Brower.

The borough assembly president will take over as interim mayor.
