State lawmakers narrowly voted down the nomination of Bethany Marcum to the University of Alaska Board of Regents, citing her advocacy for massive cuts to state services, including education.
The Republicans who spoke in favor of Marcum’s confirmation cited her past support for cuts to the state budget as a potential asset.
Rep. Andrew Gray, an Anchorage Democrat who voted against her confirmation, said “someone who would support that kind of shrinking of the system doesn’t see it as essential to the future of our great state.”
