A report issued on Wednesday by Anchorage’s Municipal Attorney contends that former Mayor, now Senator Mark Begich (D-AK), didn’t fully tell the Anchorage Assembly about a developing financial shortfall in the city’s revenues. Some assembly members, along with the current mayor Dan Sullivan, say had they known about the revenue weakness they would not have approved the existing 2009 budget and four union contracts.
