State Rep. Andi Story, D-Juneau, advocates for more state funding on behalf of Alaska residents with disabilities so they can 'live as independently as possible' with the help of service providers during a rally in a heavy snowstorm at midday Wednesday on the steps of the Alaska State Capitol. (Mark Sabbatini / Juneau Empire) About 20 people make their way to Capitol to seek solutions for service shortages. Right about the time Juneau's city government and schools announced they were shutting down Wednesday due to the blizzard , about 20 Alaska residents with disabilities and advocates on their behalf were making their way by wheelchair and on foot through deep snow to the Alaska State Capitol for what's become an annual rally seeking support so they can stand up for themselves.
