Local Legal/Community Watch: Anchorage’s Willow Commons behavioral health provider faces a breach-of-contract suit over alleged unpaid rent and missing supplies, and Ketchikan’s borough is set to revisit a library services agreement. National Politics: In red-state races, Democrats are increasingly backing independents—Alaska included—as they try to outmaneuver party-brand drag.
