An Alaska lawmaker has asked to be excused from legislative sessions until next year, saying she has no way to fly to the state capital after she was barred from Alaska Airlines for violating mask policies.
The lawmaker, Lora Reinbold, a Republican state senator, was captured on video in April arguing with employees at Juneau International Airport about mask rules.
After the confrontation, Alaska Airlines said it had notified Ms. Reinbold that she was not permitted to fly with us for her continued refusal to comply with employee instruction regarding the current mask policy.
Ms. Reinbold had previously complained about Alaska Airlines on Facebook, saying it was part of mask tyranny.

Something sounds wrong here and answer me this, what happens if war or worst breaks out, will she not fly on a plane and go into session w/ the Senate to represent her voters and help her district? Something tells me that the answer to this is 'NO'.
