Marti Buscaglia, the head of the Alaska State Commission for Human Rights, became embroiled in a scandal involving a contractor, Brad Linegar, because of a political sticker. She and two Commissioners have resigned as a result.
On 14 March, 2019, she left a note on the windshield of Brad Linegar's work truck, using her business card, calling a pro-Second Amendment sticker “offensiveâ€. The note was buttressed by the business card of the Chief Probation Officer for Region III in Alaska, Kendall Rhyne.
Then Buscaglia indicated the contractor should not park his truck in the parking lot. It has been reported she sent an email to the owner of the building, who had contracted with Linegar's business, Sage Mechanical, and asked the owner to “do something†about the company. From facebook.com
Sandie Roach The business card is one issue. The other is the email she sent to his client. As we haven't seen it, here is the jist…
The client had received an email from Marti Buscaglia, the Executive Director of the Commission. According to Linegar, the email implied Linegar was a racist and asked the client to “please do something†about Sage Mechanical. The email also accused Sage Mechanical of performing substandard work and exercising poor judgement.
Alaskans were upset. It was a step too far to claim a pro-Second Amendment sticker was offensive and racist. It was unacceptable that the head of the Human Rights Commission would use her power to push for an independent contractor to be fired over a bumper sticker.
Governor Michael Dunleavy called for an investigation. On the 5th of April, 2019, the Human Rights Commission voted to suspend Marti Buscaglia for 15 days without pay, and to require her to write a letter of apology. From tribtown.com:
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The executive director of the Alaska human rights commission has been suspended for 15 working days without pay for complaining on social media about a “Black Rifles Matter†sticker she believed to be racist on a vehicle in the commission’s Anchorage parking lot.

What is the job of a person on a human rights commission (as seen today) but to find things to be offended about?

I thought it was to root out people that used their authority/ power to subvert the Constitution, ore to impose their will on others for no good reason. Much like she tried to do here.

It's not an abuse of power if the person is wearing a MAGA hat or has a pro 2nd Amendment sticker on their vehicle. /sarc
