An effort by a new Anchorage Assembly member to challenge Mayor Dan Sullivan over his veto of funding for a police academy fizzled Tuesday. Paul Honeman, a former police lieutenant, was pushing for the city to spend $200,000 this year to gear up for a police academy early next year. The Assembly had put the money into this year’s budget.
