Essentially, this article discusses Fairbanks, Alaska mayor Jim Matherly's decision to veto a local measure that would prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. He alleges that, while he "supports" the measure, he "believe[s] this question should be given to City residents that choose to exercise their voting rights" rather than left to the discretion of a mayor and six council members.
