AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Alaska PFD Fraud: A 33-year-old Nigerian-American, Adepoju Babatunde Salako, was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison for a 2022 scheme that hijacked seven Alaskans’ online accounts and redirected Permanent Fund Dividend payments—authorities say the state and victims could have lost nearly $23,000. Tongass Tension: The Forest Service is starting early work on the next Tongass management plan, and Tlingit and Haida leaders are pushing back as they worry more timber sales could threaten salmon and coastal ecosystems. Cruise Disruption: Juneau’s Goldbelt Tram is staying closed indefinitely after an April accident; the company says it will reopen only once it’s certified safe, with no set date. Air Travel Push: Alaska Airlines launched daily nonstop service from Seattle to London Heathrow, adding another European link ahead of peak summer travel. Fuel Watch: Diesel prices in Southeast Fairbanks Census Area hit a low of $5.69 in the week ending May 16, while Anchorage premium gas dipped to $5.39.
