>>Palin should do some PR and tell the Alaskan citizens what she saved them from, and how many dollars she saved, by not taking the US Taxpayer dollars....<< She tried that, but the "strings" are minimal and Alaskans expect their politicians to "bring home the bacon." The legislature is asking the feds to hold the funds until next January when it can vote to override her... Our view: Energy stimulus Governor's veto shouldn't be last word; buy time to override adn.com Gov. Palin has explained her veto as a rejection of onerous federal controls. As Persily explains it, she had a case in February, when the Department of Energy issued strict guidelines that came with the money. But DOE changed its tune when they realized "one size fits all" wouldn't work for every state or every situation. Now the rules require states to encourage high energy-efficiency standards for local communities, and for communities to make good-faith efforts to do so. That's all. Nobody's going to check up on us.
