An investigation by Alaska Public Media News and American Public Media found Joe Gerace used a resume that misrepresented his educational credentials and military background to get a job running the city’s health department. He resigned today citing health issues. alaskapublic.org/2022/08/08/anc…

Former health director Joe Gerace promised to send me a copy of his degrees, but refused to say where one of them was from (listen below to the exchange). Yesterday, he emailed me to say he was working with HR to send them to me. I told he doesn't work for the city anymore.

About a month and a half ago, @MizelleMayo snapped a photo of a camper at Centennial Campground for a story I wrote about how homeless folks were dealing with rainy weather. I caught up with him today and he showed me a hoodie he ordered using the photo.
