Some Anchorage Assembly members say they don't trust the Bronson administration to investigate itself after learning that the city's former health director lied about his credentials.
Anchorage Assembly looks into vetting future mayoral appointments following health director’s fabricated resumeFormer Anchorage Health Director Joe Gerace oversees the shuttering of the Sullivan Arena mass shelter on June 30, 2022.
Joe Gerace has since resigned as the head of Anchorage’s Health Department, and Mayor Dave Bronson says his municipal manager and HR directorBut, at an Assembly rules committee meeting Thursday, West Anchorage Assembly member Kameron Perez-Verdia said he doesn’t trust the Bronson administration to investigate itself.
During the meeting, members of the Assembly compiled questions they wanted answered about Gerace’s hiring. They boiled down to three main issues: how Gerace was hired with a fraudulent resume, what happened as a result of his hiring and what could be done to prevent a situation like his from occurring again.
“What are our options to do other vetting, whether we have to, or whether the administration has to hire an outside firm to take over these screenings, until we know what the problem is,” Cross said. “Or do we continue to use the same failed system until we figure out what’s wrong with it?”
