Dillingham City Chaos

Former Dillingham City Council Member Aksel Buholm has been out of town for extensive medical treatment and now fears facing a lynch mob led by acting city manager, Dan Decker, upon his return. His wife was notified that papers will be served by the local police and AK State Troopers. There has been bad blood since Decker muscled himself from city clerk into the Acting City Manager position without the city following normal procedures. Buholm did not run for re-election to the council but has been outspoken about his concerns since leaving. Decker has since been reportedly meeting with a group of council members after regular meetings, and maneuvering people into positions to support his hopeful confirmation in the job--including returning a previously passed over Police Chief to that position
