Good afternoon. It’s Monday, June 22.

In today's newsletter:

  • Four crew members aboard a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter were injured in a crash in Sitka during a training mission, officials said.

  • Alaska House members issued — and then rescinded — a rare legislative subpoena seeking information on the state's decision to remove the name of a challenger to Sen. Dan Sullivan with the same name from the  ballot.

  • Mat-Su Borough animal control officers failed to follow their own investigation protocols and rules after being alerted to problems at a kennel where 23 dogs were found starved to death in April, a new report states.
