The event focused on key health and safety issues that police, firefighters and dispatchers face in Juneau.
Assembly candidate Neil Steininger speaks to the audience during a forum at the Alaska State Museum on Thursday, Sept. 5, 2024.
Last week at the State Library and Museum, candidates participated in a public safety forum hosted by local first responders. Assembly District 1 candidate Neil Steininger said the city needs to increase wages for first responders as the police department struggles to fill more than a dozen vacant jobs.
Alongside candidates on the ballot, there is a proposition that asks voters whether to pass $12.7 million in bond debt to help cover the cost of replacing the radio system used by police and firefighters.the current system they use is outdated and its expected lifespan expired a decade ago. While all candidates present at the forum said they would be voting yes on the measure, some like mayoral candidate Angela Rodell, said she isn’t a fan of the way the city wants to pay for it.
“I think CBJ has a leadership role, in terms of making sure that all of our social services providers are working well with one another, that when there are gaps, they can work together to fill them, and make sure that if there is a need, that it’s provided for,” she said.
