With his new Grand Jury “process”, Alaska Attorney General Treg Taylor joins conspiracy to hide corruption. This requires our Governor to appoint an independent commission to publicly investigate: it is the only way to restore the public’s trust.
On August 18, 2025 AG Taylor gave a town hall presentation in Soldotna to “restore public confidence in the system” and to defend his new “process” that makes him the “gatekeeper” to Alaska’s Grand Juries. Borough Assembly chambers were packed with angry citizens and Zoom buzzed with testimony and questions from one end of Alaska to the other. As Taylor tried, but failed, to answer a non-stop stream of simple questions, my wife said he looked like he was in front of a firing squad who had no shortage of ammo.

A few questions Taylor could not answer:
1. Does your new process, which specifically prohibits citizens from appealing to the Grand Jury “directly”, violate Alaska’s Constitution, since the 55 Delegates who wrote our Constitution stated this, without a single voice raised in opposition: “The Grand Jury can be appealed to directly, which is an invaluable right to the citizen.” (See AK Constitutional Convention, transcript page 1328.)
2. Does your new process, which specifically prohibits issues affecting only one citizen and prohibits court cases (open or closed) from being considered by the Grand Jury, violate Alaska’s Constitution, since the 55 Delegates stated this, without a single voice raised in opposition: “[T]he Grand Jury can be utterly vital…in its investigative power as well as for the fact it is sitting there as a panel sometimes is the only recourse for a citizen to get justice, to get redress from abuse in lower courts. …it is the only safeguard a citizen occasionally has when for any reason, and very often for political reasons, a case is not dealt with properly.” (AK Constitutional Convention transcript page 1328.)
3. You promise to provide “independent” counsel to any Grand Jury investigating your Department of Law (DOL). How do you explain the 2022 Kenai Grand Jury (who was investigating evidence that your DOL was covering up evidence that the sole investigator of Alaska’s judges for the last 36 years is falsifying official investigations to keep corrupt judges on the bench – 8000 plus investigations so far) specifically asked for “independent” counsel but was provided an attorney that used to work for the DOL and in that position had personally investigated and exonerated the judge investigator from the exact same evidence as the Kenai Grand Jury was reinvestigating? And when this “independent” counsel was asked how he was selected and why he never informed the Kenai Grand Jury of his conflict in representing them, is recorded stating: “The system wants this to go away and they pushed it to me because they thought I would be a conduit to kill this.” (Recording at alaskastateofcorruption.com)
4. You claim that since there was no written process explaining how citizens were to appeal to the Grand Jury, you had to make one up. But in the original Alaska Grand Jury Handbook (written by Alaska’s first Supreme Court) there was a clear written process for citizens to appeal to the Grand Jury: “A citizen is at liberty to apply to the Grand Jury for permission to appear before it in order to suggest or urge that a certain situation should be investigated by it. Charges of crime may be brought to your attention in several ways: (4) by private citizens heard by the Grand Jury in formal session, with the Grand Jury’s consent.” (See pages 5 and 6 of the original Alaska Grand Jury Handbook.)
5. By what authority did our current Alaska Supreme Court remove, from the Alaska Grand Jury Handbook, the verbiage telling citizens how to appeal directly to the Grand Jury? By what authority did the Supreme Court then insert verbiage ordering citizens to give their evidence of government corruption to the government, who then will decide if it will be given to the Grand Jury for investigation? (See original and subsequent Alaska Grand Jury Handbooks)
Two questions Taylor did answer:
1. After Taylor claimed Supreme Court Order (SCO) 1993 authorized his new “process”, one citizen claimed SCO 1993 was unconstitutional and asked Taylor if he agreed. Taylor agreed SCO 1993 was unconstitutional. Then Taylor stated that he asked the Alaska Supreme Court to issue SCO 1993.
2. When questioned on whether the Kenai Grand Jury recommendation should be released to the public, Taylor agreed it should be released as not doing so contributed to the public’s distrust of the system. (Alaska’s judges permanently sealed the recommendation before the public could see it, even though it contains the results of the Grand Jury’s year-long investigation into a DOL cover-up for Alaska’s only judge investigator – who lawyered up and refused to testify – and even though the Grand Jury specifically wrote the recommendation to the public.) Article 1, Section 8 of the Alaska Constitution: “The power of Grand Juries to investigate and make recommendations concerning the public welfare or safety shall never be suspended.” Alaska Constitution Bill of Rights preamble: “The Grand Jury is preserved, for all purposes, particularly for investigation of public officials.”
Citizens asked how the 2022 Kenai Grand Jury was only empaneled with 12 Jurors and zero alternates, when court rules require 18 Jurors, not including alternates, 6 of which are provided for all other Alaska Grand Juries, for a total of 24. And citizens asked how it was possible one Juror disappeared and hasn’t been found, rendering the Kenai Grand Jury powerless and causing the dismissal of their felony indictment of Judge Margaret Murphy. (Alaska’s Constitution requires a minimum of 12 Jurors for a quorum.) Taylor’s answer was that he could do nothing because it was the “independent” prosecutor who had impaneled only 12 Grand Jurors, not someone who worked for him. But the fact is that the 2022 Kenai Grand Jury was impaneled by Chief Assistant Attorney General Jenna Gruenstein, who works directly for Attorney General Taylor. Only after it had been empaneled, and discovered evidence of DOL corruption, did the Kenai Grand Jury realize they needed “independent” counsel.
Riveting Highlight
On Zoom, one caller identified himself as a former FBI agent who had worked on government corruption cases in Puerto Rico and Detroit before being assigned to do the same in Alaska for six years. He stated that while government corruption was bad elsewhere, it didn’t compare to that in Alaska. He then testified, “Every time I worked a corruption case [in Alaska] it was corrupted by either federal or state officials.”
Conclusion
Taylor urges all Alaskans to accept and use his new “process”, stating he will be a benevolent and kind “gatekeeper”, willing to let all kinds of things be investigated by the Grand Jury. But this is the same as asking We-The-People to become slaves simply because our master promises to be benevolent and kind. But what happens when Taylor is replaced? And what happens if Taylor is lying to us, and in fact has been covering up corruption for his entire tenure as AG, which is more likely the hard truth?
Before accepting anything, I believe we need a thorough, independent, and, most importantly, public investigation into everything above, along with any leads developed. Before we know how extensive the corruption is, and who all is involved, how could we possibly know how to fix it or who to trust to do so?
This was the exact situation in 1994 New York City:
New York City’s 1994 Mollen Commission Report (independent commission appointed by Mayor Dinkins to investigate in public): “To cover up their corruption, officers created even more: they falsified official reports and perjured themselves to conceal their misdeeds. In the face of this problem, the Department allowed its systems for fighting corruption virtually to collapse. It had become more concerned about the bad publicity that corruption disclosures generate than the devastating consequences of corruption itself. As a result, its corruption controls minimized, ignored and at times concealed corruption rather than rooting it out. Such an institutional reluctance to uncover corruption is not surprising. No institution wants its reputation tainted – especially a Department that needs the public’s confidence and partnership to be effective. Since no entity outside the Department was responsible for reviewing the Department’s success in policing itself, years of self-protection continued unabated until this Commission commenced its independent inquiries.”
Please join me in demanding the Governor appoint a Mollen type commission that investigates in public. Governor Michael Dunleavy and AG Taylor so far refuse to respond to numerous requests by a group of five individuals (including two Borough Mayors) to meet for one hour so they can present evidence that would require the Governor to appoint such a commission. See certified letters to Governor Dunleavy and AG Taylor, and the evidence of corruption supporting them, at www.alaskastateofcorruption.co
Please ask all gubernatorial candidates to pledge that, if elected, they will appoint such a commission to investigate in public, a commission that includes the 11 Kenai Grand Jurors who have yet to disappear.
And, if nothing above works, please join me in conducting a sit-in at noon on December 11, 2026 (about a week after the swearing in of Alaska’s new Governor) on the ground floor of the Robert B. Atwood Building at 550 West 7th Avenue, Anchorage, where our Governor’s office is located (our present Governor no longer allows the public up to his office on the 17th floor) until Alaska’s new Governor appoints an independent commission – one that includes the 11 remaining Kenai Grand Jurors – to fully, fairly, and effectively investigate all the above in public.
If you are willing to join me, please send me your name, email, and phone number.
Most Sincerely,

PS: This article, or excerpts, may be printed/published by anyone. I am available for interviews and to all researching this issue. (On July 26, 2022, the Kenai Grand Jury asked for my sworn testimony, which I provided on August 2, 2022. On September 20, 2022 the Kenai Grand Jury subpoenaed me for additional sworn testimony, which I provided. I am still under Grand Jury subpoena to this day.)
“Such, then, is the character of these outrages — numerous, repeated, continued from month to month and year to year; all similar in their character, aimed at a similar class of citizens; all palliated or excused or justified or absolutely denied by the same class of men. The development of this condition of affairs was not the work of a day, or even of a year. It couldn’t be, in the nature of things; it must be slow; one fact to be piled on another, week after week, year after year. . .Such occurrences show that there is a pre-concerted and effective plan by which thousands of men are deprived of the equal protection of the laws. The arresting power is fettered, the witnesses are silenced, the courts are impotent, the laws are annulled, the criminal goes free, the persecuted citizen looks in vain for redress.” Adickes v. S. H. Kress & Co., 398 U.S. 144 (U.S. Supreme Court 1970)
“The liberties of our Country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending at all hazards: and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have receiv’d them as a fair Inheritance from our worthy Ancestors: They purchas’d them for us with toil and danger and expence of treasure and blood; and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle; or be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men. Let us remember that if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom. It is a very serious consideration, which should deeply impress our minds, that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event.” Samuel Adams (1722-1803)
“[C]ourts were being used to harass and injure individuals, either because the courts were powerless to stop the deprivations or were in league with those bent upon abrogation of protected rights…Sheriffs, having eyes to see, see not; judges, having ears to hear, hear not; witnesses conceal the truth or falsify it….all the apparatus and machinery of civil government, all the processes of justice, skulk away as if government and justice were crimes and feared detection. Among the most dangerous things an injured party can do is to appeal to justice.” 42 U.S.C. 1983
“Combinations, darker than the night that hides them, conspiracies, wicked as the worst of felons could devise, have gone unwhipped of justice. Immunity is given to crime, and the records of the public tribunals are searched in vain for any evidence of effective redress.” Monroe v. Pape, 365 U.S. 167 (U.S. Supreme Court 1961)
“If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace; and this single reflection, well applied, is sufficient to awaken every man to duty.” Thomas Paine 1737-1809
Side note from Glory Tomerica
“As an additional note Treg Taylor is guilty of the willful deprivation of rights, privileges and immunities secured by the Constitution by failing to protect grand jury investigations. This falls directly under his listed job duties. Despite several requests by citizens to correct the issues in the courts he has refused, not failed but flat refused to do his job.”
Section 242 is intended to “protect all persons in the United States in their civil rights, and furnish the means of their vindication.” Screws v. United States, 325 U.S. 91, 98 (1945) (quoting legislative history).
