2026/08/12

Aaron Hague got 26 years for killing his roommate John McClelland in 2020 — a crime he admitted to but claimed was self-defense, which the jury rejected. Prosecutors wanted 30 years, arguing it was premeditated for cash: Hague spent nearly $3K on property, took McClelland’s cars, and even filed unemployment in his name. McClelland vanished after sending cryptic texts asking for $8K — his body was never found. Hague fled Alaska, told his cousin a “murder happened,” tried stealing his passport,

2026/08/12

Alaska’s governor is pushing for a third special session to push forward with the controversial gas pipeline, but basic economics says it might not make sense unless they slash land lease taxes and hike producer income tax—both of which failed before, even losing corporate backing.
