Prosecutors Press Final Case In Hazelwood Drunk Driving Trial
Anchorage Alaska prosecutors wrapped up their case in the Exxon Valdez captain Joseph Hazelwood trial with testimony on booze odor and empty beer cans found aboard. Coast Guard witness Mark Delozier described confronting Hazelwood early March 24 and noted a strong liquor smell and cans in the captain’s quarters. The blood alcohol test, taken about 15 hours after a bar sighting, registered .061 percent, below driving limits but above maritime limits. Hazelwood faces charges including reckless endangerment and operating a vessel while intoxicated, with potential penalties up to seven years in prison and fines.

Budget plan clash over sales tax cap and revenue options
Budget official Budget McLellan pushes for an equity oriented sales tax cap, proposing an $800 cap and noting that a higher cap would favor pricier cars. The committee shelved the cap change but may revisit it, while also rejecting a hazardous waste tax hike for now. Two revenue gains survived: mining tax on gold and higher video poker machine fees. The plan still shows a $32.7 million deficit without auto cap changes and waste tax, amid talks of a bond bill and limited payroll increases for state workers.
