Alaska Senate reshuffles after Dunleavy leaves majority

A special committee, composed largely of Senate majority leadership, recommended Tuesday that Sen. Mike Dunleavy be replaced on the Senate Finance Committee by Sen. Shelley Hughes, a Palmer Republican.#akleg @AKShelleyHughes to replace @SenDunleavy on Finance committee, @SenKevin
