The state's third largest credit union is suing a prominent home builder over millions of dollars in delinquent loans.
Denali Alaskan Federal Credit Union filed its lawsuit in March. It says Lee Baker Jr. and his business associates are responsible for $16 million in delinquent loans for building projects in Anchorage and the Matanuska-Susitna Borough.
The credit union also accuses Baker and his wife, Pat Baker, who is a real estate agent, with fraud. The lawsuit says the total debt owed is $16.9 million, plus interest and fees. The lawsuit also seeks punitive damages.

Discussion with Lee Baker, MOA, Residents
This is from the University Area Community Council Newsletter.
August 2007
Bryn Mawr Update – Condos not Apartments.
"Members of the College Alps and Castles of Bryn
Mawr boards, and 3 members of the UACC met with Denis LeBlanc, Lance Wilbur and Lee Baker to address our concerns regarding the Bryn Mawr project. Mr. Baker stated that the market has changed since he first planned this building and now the structure will be built as condos with wood floors and granite counters. He will also have a number of completed condos and will finish the rest as they sell. The Municipality is requiring Discovery to upgrade the intersection of NLB and Wesleyan with two left turn lanes from both the north and south sections of Wesleyan and one ingress lane and one right or straight-across lane. We all went over many of the issues we have stated in previous meetings and comments regarding the various TIAs. At the end of the meeting it was agreed we would reconvene after the MOA Traffic Engineer and Lance Wilbur thoroughly looked at the TIA. They agreed to look at a traffic study after school started and also at the intersection of Bryn Mawr and Wesleyan."
