Gov. Michael Dunleavy rolled out his “repeal and replace” legislation on Wednesday, making good on his promise to get tough on crime and close the more egregious loopholes still present in Alaska criminal justice law.

“We will be expending resources in these areas to have the outcomes that we need,” said Dunleavy. “When people ask the question,  ‘Are folks going go to jail?’ Yes, they’re going go to jail.”
