Cookie man in Juneau

Published Wednesday, January 30, 2008

If you walk upstairs to the first floor of the Capitol and turn left right now, you’ll smell chocolate chip cookies. And I mean fresh chocolate chip cookies, baking.

The House Judiciary Committee is just starting a hearing, likely to be well attented, on bills dealing with “partial-birth” abortion and dual sentencing.

Rep. Jay Ramras of Fairbanks chairs the committee, and is apparently the cookie man in Fairbanks (did I miss something?). So it was by request that he’s now serving up fresh-baked cookies at his hearings.

A staff member was baking them in a big toaster oven in the back of the room.
