One case, against Senate President Peter Micciche, R-Soldotna, was dropped after Micciche lifted the person’s ban. Another, against Sen. Lora Reinbold, R-Eagle River, has already gone to trial and is awaiting a judge’s verdict., and the lawsuits drove interest in an update.
If a legislator does use social media, the policy calls for them to create an official account and instructs them to “not open the account to comments or other interactions with the public.” If a legislator does that anyway, “you personally assume all risk and responsibility for legal defense of that action.”
Sen. Mike Shower, R-Wasilla, also spoke against the new guidelines, saying that they are a significant tool to push information and shutting down two-way communication is “shutting off what really is the way of the future.”
