GAS committee wants to cut borough minor offense list

A borough advisory board will pare down Haines’ list of 299 minor offenses, pending borough assembly approval.

The Government Affairs and Services Committee approved a recommendation Monday that the Code Review Commission identify which minor offenses should go.

The only municipality in Southeast Alaska that has more minor offenses in its code is Juneau.

Petersburg has 90, Wrangell has 120, Sitka has 182, the Ketchikan Borough has 214 and Juneau has 531.
