The state of Alaska wants more than $60,000 back from Anchorage’s disgraced former health director, saying he fraudulently claimed a higher military rank than he actually had when he joined the Alaska State Defense Force.
Gerace has been the subject of controversy since he resigned as the head of Anchorage’s Health Department last August shortly before an Alaska Public Media and American Public Media reportcivil complaint filed last month
The complaint says Gerace told the ASDF that he had been a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army, which wasn’t true and resulted in him getting paid more than he should have. But the complaint says members are given rankings and payment according to their rank in one of the country’s military branches.
