In light of recent political discussions and news, I was reminded of something my wife found out about a few weeks ago which lead me to do a little digging. You'd think given the state's fiscal shape they would concern themselves with leaning down. Apparantly the Alaska Legal Service Corporation doesn't think that applies to them and I'm sure it's also related to this:

What I heard is they are hiring people to pose as renters so that they can file suits against anyone who is discriminating against renters. So if you have any perspective renters that seem to prefer the company of their own gender and you decide not to rent to them, don't be shocked if you find yourself in a descrimination suit.
