RENEE MONTAGNE, host:

Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. One of Anchorage's most popular attractions is back. As we reported earlier, the city had ordered the family who created Snowzilla to cease and desist. It said the crowds flocking to see the giant snowman made him a safety hazard. Still, Snowzilla reappeared before dawn one day this week and is living up to his name, because at 25-feet tall, Snowzilla is bigger than ever. You're listening to Morning Edition.

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive from readers like you will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.
