All members of Alaska's salary commission either resigned or were removed in recent days. Today, with all new members, the commission recommended a 67% raise for legislators — plus a pay boost for the governor and his cabinet — in a 15-minute meeting.

Five new commissioners were appointed, and a meeting was swiftly scheduled for Wednesday afternoon. During that meeting, the new commissioners waived a rule that requires them to notice meetings 20 days before they are held, allowing them to amend the previous commissioners’ recommendations immediately.
The new commissioners announced during Wednesday’s 15-minute meeting included newly-elected chair Donald Handeland, an engineer and active member of the Republican Party; Miles Baker, who until earlier this year worked in Dunleavy’s office; Duff Mitchell, managing director at Juneau Hydropower Inc.; Larry LeDoux, a former state education commissioner; and Jomo Stewart, president of the Fairbanks Economic Development Corp.
Handeland said in an interview that he had been told to expect the motion for an $84,000 legislator salary during said he had concerns about the process used by the commission, and questioned how independent it is. But he was generally supportive of the salary increases. “The decision to amend the previous salary report was made by members of the commission. You will have to ask them about their decision,” Turner added.
