My governor:

She fought the oil companies and we will receive 6 billion extra this year and probably every year from here on out. It was about time someone took them on. Murkoski sold us out to the oil comapnies. That is why she beat him.

She made a couple of Republican legislators who took bribes from the oil companies and are either under investigation or indictment step down. (all the legislators under indictment or investigation for bribery 10? from the oil companies are Republicans. No democrats.

She got the gas line going and did it right as it will run down through Canada and tie in with their existing distribution system. That was smart as it avoids having to mess with LNG and we will make much more money. It will also allow the gas line to pick up gas from the Mackenzie Delta and other Alaskan gas fields in the east. Smart.

And Canadians will build the gas line not the oil companies. The oil comapnies wanted to build it and run it down to Valdez, but that would have cost us a lot more money as it would have had to be turned into LNG and shipped. Also the oil companies would have had us in their grasp. Smart again.

She also smartly moved up our $2,000 permnent fund one month so people would have money to buy fuel before winter and she gave everyone in the state an extra $1,200 we took in so much money from the high oil prices. That was very astute. Dems wanted to give ou tless, but that was wrong headed IMO.

All of those things will greatly help Alaskan's who are going to struggle this year with high heating bills.
