“Bob was dogged,” said Gregg Erickson, editor-at-large of the Alaska Budget Report. “If you didn’t answer his question to his satisfaction, he didn’t mind who cared, he was going to do his best to get the truth out of you.” Tkacz covered the Legislature and specialized in writing about the commercial fishing and seafood industries.
