Anchorage Mayor Dave Bronson has been no stranger to controversy in the year-and-a-half since he took office. But last week, the former municipal manager sent a letter to the mayor and other city officials that landed like a bomb in the middle of city politics. It contained a list of accusations against the mayor and his close associates, ranging from unethical behavior to outright illegal acts.

Host Elizabeth Harball talks with ADN reporters Emily Goodykoontz and Kyle Hopkins, who have been reporting on the accusations laid out in the letter.
