Governor Palin,
I have a unique form of Young Onset Parkinson's disease which progresses faster than
normal Parkinson »s
disease progresses. I find it very unfair that my Social Security Disability income
disqualifies me from
getting Medicaid unless I run my income through a costly to set up and awkward to maintain
income
qualifying "Miller" trust. I believe laws should be changed to fix this problem since
anyone with the
mental and physical ability to deal with the trust will get Medicaid. But it's not fair to
the vulnerable
who aren't able to effectively advocate for themselves. When I was first diagnoised I was
in that
category. If you'd like specific examples of trust problems caused by the State let me
know. They predate

Subject: AGIA Business Contacts
Governor,
How well do you know Harry McDonald, president of Carlile Enterprises or Liane Pelletier of
ACS? I was wondering if you would be interested in calling these two individuals and just
touch base with them and answer questions to diffuse anything they might be hearing from
producers. I ran into Harry at your Inaugural Ball in Anchorage. I know him personally and
think he would be a good one with whom to speak. Liane Pelletier at ACS would absolutely
welcome a call from you, I would guess that she would ask questions and her focus would
be on corporate shareholders and the State "interfering" with private sector companies and
their shareholders. But as a woman and as a President, Liane would want to hear from you
- and I think your time would go far. I've picked these two for you in particular because
they were both at a press conference that I organized last fall in opposition to proposition 2
and would most likely participate in another.
Thanks,
Meg

Hi Kris:
Gov. Hickel, David Gottstein and I would like to offer our support with several key
legislators regarding AGIA.
The three of us could fly to Juneau April 30 or May 1 for 24 to 48 hours. If Governor
Palin likes the idea, we would appreciate a briefing from your Gasline Team before we meet with
those legislators who seem most fearful of standing up to the producers' threats.
Our assessment is that the Governor and AGIA are winning, but the oil companies are
ramping up the pressure and, unless we all help, they may succeed in stopping our best hope for
a pipeline that truly benefits the Alaska people.
Gov. Hickel and I leave for Moscow this Friday night and will be back April 29. It would
be helpful if I could stop by your office this week to discuss this and other items.
Thanks Kris.

Subject: Employee Recognition Awards
I understand that there is perhaps a bit of confusion regarding the employee
awards. To be clear and so that everyone is on the same page - the request
was to have the Governor in Anchorage "for just an hour" the week of May 1st
or May 7th. Since there are no plans to have the Governor in Anchorage, I
made the determination that since those dates are critical to our AGIA
efforts and ensuring the Governor's availability to legislators, etc., it
would be difficult to arrange for a trip to Anchorage for an awards
ceremony.
I was told perhaps it could move to the week of the 14th, but that is the
final week of session and will be equally as challenging since the Governor
is expected to remain in Juneau during that crucial week. At that point, I
was told that if the Governor couldn't be in Anchorage, perhaps the ceremony
could happen in Juneau and the Governor could honor the 15 from Juneau (of
the roughly 100 recipients) , My understanding is that I am still waiting to
*
hear if that is truly an option.
Thanks ,
Meg

Governor,
I wanted to ensure you were aware of the information contained in the
following e-mail. One change to the message below; the companies did
/not/ file for compulsory unitization at the AQGCC yesterday, the 16th,
but we are told they will file today. Furthermore, Exxon is making a
point of talking with the press, both in state and nationally, and we
are fielding many questions. Because there are many different legal
issues at play, we are centralizing our messaging to Nan Thomson, the
Unit Manager within the Division of Oil & Gas. Finally, there is a
hearing on the Pt Thomson /unit/ default today, so l ! m sure there will
be press coverage of that hearing. Superior Court Judge Gleason, who is
hearing the companies appeal on our decision to terminate the unit,
could make a ruling from the bench, or could wait up to 3 days to make
a decision. We do not expect her to make a ruling from the bench.

We anticipate that the companies that formerly owned leases in the Point
PRA GSP01 0001125
Thomson area will file a petition for compulsory unitization at the
AOGCC on Monday April 16. Under the agency's rules, a hearing will be
held within 30 days.
DNR will formally file comments in the AOGCC proceeding explaining that
the unit was terminated December 27, 2006 and that decision is under
review by the Superior Court after the former owners appealed.
As the result of the unit termination, the underlying leases also were
terminated by force of law. The leases in the "expansion area"
terminated effective December 27, 2006 under the terms of the Expansion
Agreement. The remaining leases were all beyond their primary terms,
held only by the unit and expired 90 days after the unit terminated on
March 27, 2007. Under an agreement in the unit appeal litigation, the
effective date of the lease terminations was extended until the judge in
that case rules on a Motion to Stay the proceedings. The judge is
hearing arguments on the Motion on Tuesday, April 17, and may rule from
the bench or may issue a written decision in the following weeks.
The companies that held interests in the leases have appealed the lease
termination notices issued by the Director of the Division of Oil and
Gas to the Commissioner of Natural Resources. They received a 30 day
extension of their obligation to file their appeal briefs and record,
with their filing now due at the end of April. The Commissioner will
consider the appeals and issue written decisions.

Well, now 1 think it's sorted out. We were asking for the Governor
to be in ANC, but apparently would have been happy to have her in
JNU. So here's the request:
Is the Governor available on May 9th, which is State Employee
Recognition Day for about 30 minutes to make remarks to all of the
employees who have been nominated for Denali Peak Awards (about 85
total Statewide) and to present the 15 awards to those in Juneau,
hopefully in the Governor's Conference Room so that we can
"participate" from an Anchorage video location. About 70 employees
will be at the Anchorage location (which is still being determined) .
We will schedule the event for the time she has available on that
day. We would like to keep the videoconferencing going until the
folks in ANC have received their awards, rather than ending at 30
mins. when the Governor will likely need to move on to other
business*
(The May 9th date is based on the "National Association of State Personnel
Executives (NASPE) characterized as "State Employee Recognition Day. The web site
is http : //www . naspe .net/index . cfm?PageID=20
It was initiated in 2001 by NASPE and the National Governors Association (NGA) .

After nearly tossing myself off the top of the Atwood, Andrew Halcro and I just completed
a one-plus hour phone conversation - first, we spoke about the leak that he and the
Governor discussed a job during the administration and perhaps his anti-AGIA rants are
related to the fact that he didn't get the job. I reiterated the fact that this
Administration had absolutely nothing to do with the leak (in case anyone caught talk
radio today) . Secondly, I discussed aspects of the AGIA and expressed my disappointment
in him that he did not take up the gasline team on the opportunity to have an
informational meeting to ask questions and discuss the merits of AGIA. We ended the
conversation quite cordially and now he would love to take us up on the original offer of
meeting with the team regarding the AGIA and his concerns that we've not taken some things
into consideration, especially in our cash modeling, etc. At this point, just filling
everyone in, but would like to know what opportunities may exist for this conversation to

I have worked in the corrosion control industry for 33 years. From Industrial water
treatment
applications in major food processing plants across the midwest to fossil fuel and nuclear
power plants
and in the oil and gas industry. I have lived and worked in Alaska since the spring of
1989. My interest
is in the comments heard on the radio this AM regarding a "new" board or commission
concerning corrosion
control in Alaska's oil & gas industry. My concern is that the individuals selected for
the
board/commission may or may not have the technical ability to evaluate the producers
efforts in corrosion
control. Or a better veiw would to say that the individuals may not challenge the
producers plans or
efforts as they have historically have only done what has been absolutely necessary to
chemically treat
PRA GSP01 0001144
the internals of their systems or provide cathodic protection where necessary to prevent
external
corrosion. I have long called this the "politics of corrosion control". Understai
nding that we live in a competitive world, venders have long been beat down on pricing and
margins to the
point that R&D efforts are bing limited and finding good people and paying them
competitive salaries
has become difficult. Richard Woollam with BP to name one was instrumental in part of the
process of
driving many competent businesses out of the state. You can see where that has led.
Commisions are fine
as long as they aren't duplications of efforts and that they truly serve a need.

with you at your convenience. Is there a time that works for you over the next few days? Once
I get your feedback I will call Rick back and firm up a time and place. He also offered to meet at
his house, which he describes as halfway between your home in the Valley and Anchorage, as

Pis set up a lunch or dinner with any\all former AGs. I've wanted to do this
since my election:
1. It will fascinating to get them in one rm for a historic event.
2. I don't believe we've properly welcomed AK's newest AG to state service
yet, or perhaps have not had the fitting "welcome" for Talis that he
deserves. I look forward to doing this for Talis - and to having the
opportunity to meet the former AGs.
Either Anch or Juno or wherever is most convenient.

I had it going on in the background in my office. It was a great committee
hearing. French and McGuire were the main testifiers. The questions were
extremely thoughtful and showed an intense amount of research and genuinely
fair and unbiased reporting of information from conversations with what
sounded like Constitutional consultants and attorneys. I absolutely agree
with Bitney f s assessment that the overall impression was one of cooperation
and assurance that everyone's talking and working together to share
information about AGIA.
Thanks for sharing what was happening in the background, too, Bitney. Would
have loved to have seen that on camera.

In a somewhat unusual move, three Senators testified to the House Resources
Committee about AGIA.
Senators French, McGuire, and Wielechowski testified to House Resources
regarding their efforts to make amendments to the bill in the Senate
Judiciary Committee.
Their appearance was covered live by Gavel to Gavel, and created quite a
stir in the building.
I sat down in the committee hearing to observe . . . and it became clear that
the event was largely impromptu. Nonetheless ... the point here is that it
looked GREAT!!! It gave the appearance that the House and Senate are
working cooperatively to get AGIA passed within the regular session.
Also interesting. . .Lyda Green came into the Committee room looking baffled
about the incident. It was clear that this was not a planned event. She
was fine... but also wanting her fellow Senators to let her know "what is
going on here" .
Bottom line: The three Senators and Carl Gatto did a nice thing conducing
the hearing in this matter. The buzz in the building is that legislators
are uniting to get AGIA passed quickly.

It's that time of year again! Dust off your cleats, grease up your glove, stretch out

participate in the legislative softball tourney out by Sandy Beach.
Rumor has it, this is the first Administration Team to participate since the territorial
days (back when men were men and Nizich was pitching for the White Sox) .
We're doing things a little different this year„.everybody included in this email is on the
team unless you send your express written excuse, notarized by the Lt. Governor, as to why
you can't join your co-workers for a little 3rd floor team building and moral boosting
PRA GSP01 0001173
next weekend (yes, you should feel bad). Okay, I won't go that far, but send an email if
you can't play in a game or two next Saturday.
The motto is: Lose Two and BBQ or,„ Win Two; Play in the Championship on Sunday, and Then
BBQ. it's quick, it's painless, and no matter what your skill level it's always a lot of
fun.
Plenty of food, beverages, and extra gear (I hope that wasn't anybody's excuse for not
attending!) . If you know of others on the third floor that want to play send this on...it's
open to everybody! A special award will be presented to the person who comes up with the

Subject: Bd of Game
First msg coming out of Glennallen re: Bd of Game decisions: the Bd is NOT listening to
the local advisory bds that are putting a lot of efforts in showing up for mtgs,
"advising", doing a lot of homework for the bd # etc. And yet the bd makes decisions
without seeming to hear the locals concerns. They're not notified when decisions are going
to be made, for instance.
And no one here is happy about the Tier 11 allocation dcisions. Question is: whyd bd make
allocation decision based on INCOME - its now a welfare program and nothing in
Constitution speaks of welfare in terms of wildlife resources being allocated. I promised
I'd send their message to Juneau. (And how do I get that msg to the Bd?)
Also, hunters locally did go out to kill wolves for us thinking we'd fulfill promise of
$150 fuel reimbursement and they sent in their info but now we "can't" reimburse them. I
told this fellow we would be we said we would. Bruce Bart ley has his name. Nice guy, not
pushy, but wants to remind us they want to trust govt.
Back to Tier 11. No one locally likes the income decisions nor equipment restrictions (an
ATV can do more tundra damage than the allowed 1500 lb track vehicle). The locals just
want to be listened to and were very glad we visited.
They wanted to know if I supported the way the Commissioner was selected '- I said I sure
did be Denby is the result - and they were very cool with that. They just wanted to know
that I supported the Bd's recommendation of Denby.
And the school visit was awesome and went probably 45 min over be kids had great
questions.

was comprised largely of Gov Office Employees during Hickel Administration)? In other words, Ivy, yes weVe
had some Governor's Office teams before! I might add that Rick's Centurions took first place undefeated— due in
part by a right field hit by opposing team player Eldon Mulder that a very scared but I better catch it or I die right

It's that time of year again! Dust off your cleats, grease up your glove, stretch out your old, tired muscles (yes, I'm

Beach.
Rumor has it, this is the first Administration Team to participate since the territorial days (back when men were
men and Nizich was pitching for the White Sox).
We're doing things a little different this year... everybody included in this email is qq the team unless you send
your express written excuse, notarized by the Lt. Governor, as to why you can't join your co-workers for a little 3 rd
floor team building and moral boosting next weekend (yes, you should feel bad). Okay, i won't go that far, but

The motto is: Lose Two and BBQ or... Win Two; Play in the Championship on Sunday, and Then BBQ. It's
quick, it's painless, and no matter what your skill level it's always a lot of fun.
Plenty of food, beverages, and extra gear (I hope that wasn't anybody's excuse for not attending!). If you know of
others on the third floor that want to play send this on . . . it's open to everybody! A special award will be presented
to the person who comes up with the best team name.

Thanks for your quick summary. Sounds, all in all, like a good visit.
I will relay your observations regarding local reaction to the Board of Game Tier II
decisions to Cliff Judkins (Chair, BOG). I will have Matt Robus (Director, Wildlife
Conservation) talk with Bruce Bartley regarding the local hunter and reimbursement.
If you would like further follow up, please let me know
Take care, DL.

First msg coming out of Glennallen re: Bd of Game decisions: the Bd is NOT listening to
1
PRA GSP01 0001182
the local advisory bds that are putting a lot of efforts in showing up for mtgs,
"advising", doing a lot of homework for the bd, etc. And yet the bd makes decisions
without seeming to hear the locals concerns. They're not notified when decisions are going
to be made f for instance.
And no one here is happy about the Tier 11 allocation dcisions. Question is: whyd bd make
allocation decision based on INCOME - it's now a welfare program and nothing in
Constitution speaks of welfare in terms of wildlife resources being allocated. I promised
I'd send their message to Juneau. (And how do I get that msg to the Bd?)
Also, hunters locally did go out to kill wolves for us thinking we'd fulfill promise of
$150 fuel reimbursement and they sent in their info but now we "can't" reimburse them. I
told this fellow we would be we said we would. Bruce Bart ley has his name. Nice guy, not
pushy, but wants to remind us they want to trust govt .
Back to Tier 11, No one locally likes the income decisions nor equipment restrictions (an
ATV can do more tundra damage than the allowed 1500 lb track vehicle) . The locals just
want to be listened to and were very glad we visited.
They wanted to know if I supported the way the Commissioner was selected - I said I sure
did be Denby is the result - and they were very cool with that. They just wanted to know
that I supported the Bd's recommendation of Denby*
And the school visit was awesome and went probably 45 min over be kids had great
questions.

It's amazing the bs that is being spewed by Halcro, Whatever he's being fed
to fuel his anti-Agia rants is so off base as to almost be comical.
If he ! s taken up Meg's offer to finally meet with us to hear facts, then
let's take him up on it asap. Dr Anthony Scott and the other experts will
share facts so that Halcro can not deny our offer to share factual info with
him.
Halcro does not need to know that we will have a number of folks there or I
anticipate he'll then find a reason to not participate.
Thank you.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 07-088
Governor Palin Urges Public Process in Proposed Beluga Decision
April 20, 2007, Juneau, Alaska - Governor Sarah Palin today voiced her concerns about the
implications of the proposed endangered species listing of Cook Inlet's beluga whales.
The Governor also encouraged the National Marine Fisheries Service to conduct public
hearings on this important issue.
PRA GSP01 0001207
"Listing Cook Inlet beluga as endangered under the Endangered Species Act may have
significant implications for activities throughout the Southcentral region of Alaska,"
said Governor Palin. M We are going to closely review all the scientific information in
the proposal and encourage the communities of the Cook Inlet region, as well as fishing
and industry groups to express their views . "
The State of Alaska shares the National Marine Fisheries Service's concerns for the
conservation of the beluga population in Cook Inlet. However, the State is going to
closely review all the scientific information in the proposal to be sure it meets the
requirements for listing under the Endangered Species Act. Additionally, the State will
study whether existing federal law, such as the Marine Mammals Protection Act, provides
sufficient protection.
Federal law allows harvest by Alaska Natives only. An agreement to restrict harvest in
Cook Inlet was implemented in 1999, but the Cook Inlet belugas have not recovered. No " —
in the scientific community has been able to identify what is impeding the growth of this
population,
No one

Subject: GUEST LIST QUESTION- Friends of the Governor's Mansion Foundation Fundraiser, May 9th,
2007 at the Residence
Hello Governor and Mr. Palin,
The list of lobbyists for the Friends of the Governor's Mansion Foundation Fundraiser are listed below for your
review/approval. I've also attached the 2007 Lobbyist Directory in case you wanted the client/employer
information. Please let me know if you'd like to make any changes or have any additional guests that you'd like to
include.
F.Y.I. - The Foundation pays for the food, beverage, and staff over time expenses, so that it's not an expense that
the House incurs. I have a copy of a memorandum from the Department of Law from March 14, 2005 where the
question was asked if there wouid be any Executive Ethics Act (AS 39.52) or other iegal concerns
presented if the foundation held a fundraiser at the Governor's Mansion and the conclusion (was that the
First Lady (Gentleman in this case) is not a "public official" under the Ethics Act, the strictures of the Act
do not apply to her/him. The Governor may also host fundraising activities at the residence, and he may
freely invite guests and host functions as he/she deems proper. Of course, there is much more information,
and this is paraphrased, but I wanted you to be aware of some of the issues that have been addressed. I could
fax a copy to you if you'd like.
If at all possible, it wouid be great to have the final guest list as soon as possible, as May 9th is quickly
approaching.
Thank you,
Erika

In addition to Nizich's comments, I would add that sport fishing groups are putting
pressure on NOAA to reject one of our candidates in substitution for a sport fishing
candidate. We did originally receive a letter from NOAA requesting all user groups be
considered including sport fishing when making our selection. We did and forwarded names
of individuals that are focused on protecting the best interests of our communities not
particular commercial fishing gear types. Ed Rasmussen is currently on the Council and is
widely known for being a sport fish advocate.
We are standing by our appointments. We have solicited the assistance of the
congressional delegation. Denby is drafting a letter to the Secretary of Commerce to
support our candidates and show that all interests are represented. We will ask the
Secretary to help ensure that NOAA does not reject our candidates. In addition, we have
solicited the assistance of various groups to advocate for our candidates.

This afternoon, the Alaska Federation of Republican Women resolution
committee reported out (by a wide margin) the resolution Ivy took to
the convention. It will go to the floor for a vote at tomorrow's
business meeting .
There were two stinkers on the committee. One was Eileen (Murkowski)
VanWyhe. The other was Eileen's best friend, Vicki Hill. The rest of
the committee voted for the resolution.
Colleen Sullivan-Leonard reports that there was a minor amdendment to

subsistence hunts and Advisory Committee input that you heard about in Glenallen. They are outlined
below FYI.

Subject: Re: Gov's Visit to Glenallen
Denby- Thanks for the opportunity to comment. History on the Boards T-ll actions:. Two years ago the
Board of Game appointed a committee to review the Nelchina T-ll hunt We had received many
complaints from all users that the system was broke and they wanted change. The committee consisted
of three Board members, and Reps, of various groups including Ahtna, AOC, Tanana Chiefs, Subsistence
Div. , The Mat Valley Advisory Committee and Department staff. Three members of the committe,
myself, Ron Somerville and Rod Arno traveled to the area and met with the Glenallen AC, Slana AC,
Paxon Ac, Cantwell Ac. and members of the Delta AC. At that time we were trying to get comments
concerning a concept that the Committee had put together which included separating subsistence hunting
areas from "recreational" hunting areas, establishing methods and means for subsistence that more
closely related to subsistence hunting. We held a special meeting in Anchorage. The proposal was not
at all well received by Ahtna. We went back up to Copper Center and met with Ahtna. No agreement
was reached. There final comment was -Yes the system is broken but nothing else works better- so
leave it as it is. Last year the Board adopted some salvage requirements and vehicle limitations that we
felt more closely reflected what subsistence hunters described as their way of hunting. We had a lot of
testimony from Ahtna folks that subsistence users salvaged internal organs, head and skin and that they
did not use big vehicles to hunt. This spring we added the income criteria. Our goal has been to
establish a subsistence hunt that more closely replicates what the users and the statutes define as
subsistence use. 5AAC. 99.010. concerning subsistence uses establishes what we refer to as the "eight
criteria": 1. a long term consistence use, 2. a pattern of taking or use recurring in specific seasons each
year, 3. methods and means of harvest characterized by efficiency and economy of effort and cost, 4.
long term and consistent pattern of taking, use and reliance, 5. traditional means of handling and
preparing 6 handing down knowledge of hunting skills, 7. sharing of harvest, 8. reliance for subsistence
purposes upon a wide diversity of resources that provide substantial economic, cultural, social and
nutritional elements of the subsistence way of life. When there is not sufficient resources (in this case
caribou) to satisfy demand the board must first eliminate nonsubsitence, consumption uses. If further
reduction is necessary the Board must distinguish among subsistence users based upon: 1 . Customary
and direct dependence, 2. proximity of users domicile to the game population and 3. the ability of the
11/10/2009
PRA GSP01 0001228
Page 2 of 2
user to obtain food if use of the population is eliminated,
As you can plainly see nothing here is simple. In trying to better define "subsistence use" The income criteria
goes to the economy of effort provisions and the ability to obtain other food. Discussion at the Board hearing
when the income criteria was adopted included "Taking a 100,000.00 dollar motor home and three or four four
wheelers up to the Denali Hwy, to kill one caribou does not fit the economy of effort criteria- nor does flying in with
a 185" . " Folks with this income level can drive to one of the big grocery stores to shop." I think the Board is
making difficult, hard decisions; especially in light of the laws we are guided by. What might happen here is this
criteria may reduce the number of qualified subsistence users to below the number of harvestable caribou. This
would allow the state to reduce the amount necessary for subsistence and we would be able to have a drawing
hunt for the balance of the caribou where all Alaskans could participate equally.
Concerning AC input and advice, I think if you look at the record you will see that the Board listens very carefully
to AC Input and follow it when we can. Some times the AC recommendations are contrary to the Departments
biologically based recommendations or just not appropriate to the situation. Where we can adopt their
recommendations we do. An example is the Unit 16B predator control program. This was an AC proposal
which the Board adopted. At the last Southcentral meeting an AC recommended that we reduce the length Unit
16A moose season. We adopted the proposed reduction. I am sure there are many more. I know the AGs
become upset when we do not follow their recommendation; but some times the recommendation is just not in the
best interest of the wildlife when you are looking at the population from a more global view point
Again thank you for the opportunity to. comment. Cliff

First msg coming out of Glennallen re: Bd of Game decisions: the Bd is NOT
listening to the local advisory bds that are putting a lot of efforts in
showing up for mtgs, "advising", doing a lot of homework for the bd, etc.
And yet the bd makes decisions without seeming to hear the locals concerns
They're not notified when decisions are going to be made, for instance.
And no one here is happy about the Tier 11 allocation dcisions. Question is
1
PRA GSP01 0001236
whyd bd make allocation decision based on INCOME - its now a welfare program
and nothing in Constitution speaks of welfare in terms of wildlife resources
being allocated. I promised I'd send their message to Juneau. (And how do I
get that msg to the Bd?)
Also, hunters locally did go out to kill wolves for us thinking we'd fulfill
promise of $150 fuel reimbursement and they sent in their info but now we
"can't" reimburse them. I told this fellow we would be we said we would.
Bruce Bartley has his name. Nice guy, not pushy, but wants to remind us they
want to trust govt.
Back to Tier 11. No one locally likes the income decisions nor equipment
restrictions (an ATV can do more tundra damage than the allowed 1500 lb
track vehicle) . The locals just want to be listened to and were very glad we
visited.
They wanted to know if I supported the way the Commissioner was selected - I
said I sure did be Denby is the result * and they were very cool with that.
They just wanted to know that I supported the Bd's recommendation of Denby.
And the school visit was awesome and went probably 45 min over be kids had
great questions.

Governor,
Monday will be a hectic day for you - 1 suppose, just like any other.
But attached are two of your three speeches. The two attached revolve
around the faith-based press conference and then your Outstanding
Volunteer Awards. The third is the coin speech for the unveiling and
you'll have that soon as well. I know Kris is sorting those arriving
today and then you'll have to make your decision. We've printed the
two most popular (grizzly and musher) that can be unveiled, plus the
others are printed as well. Sharon bought some drapery this week for
the unveiling - looking forward to this!
As far as the attached speeches, the press conference speech is for
11:00am. You will be formally introduced and step forward after the
White House and say a few comments on behalf of the Lieutenant
Governor and yourself - he' s deferring to you and doesn't want to
speak as well. The Outstanding Volunteer Awards speech is for during
the awards program. Kris said truly just a minute of thanks is all you
need and so that is reflected.
I will be staffing an AGIA presentation before the Anchorage Chamber -
with Nan Thompson and Kevin Banks (don't know if you want to make an
appearance at the end to the business community) . Therefore, I will
miss the faith-based events, but Kris and Sharon will be with you for
those .
I hope these make it through, as I've had troubles with emails. If you
could all confirm that you're receiving, that would be great.

Governor Pal in,
It just struck me that you have your volunteer awards today. Kaye Love is a recipient
from Palmer. Sharon just included her book {she writes books for literacy programs) in
the Easter card she gave you. I just wanted to give you a heads up because you'll see
them both today.
Good luck today!

I'll call a few kids and see if they can make it. I

A guy on my hockey team, Dave Eibeck (who you've met a
couple of times because he campaigned for you) told me
last night that someone in Dept. of Admin (in charge

Business Systems and they sell and service copiers
around the state. He said he lost his Valley contract
with the State because they told him he wasn't
qualified to work on machines there... even though he
works on State machines every where else from
Southeast to Fairbanks.
Voice of the Times sounds desperate now. Keep it
positive and ignore them.

Governor :
You asked whether we have purchased the old Valley Hospital, the $5.0 million for the
purchase was in the FY0 7 budget - yes, it was purchased. The Court System and DOA
received an additional $5,0 million to begin to renovate the building for occupancy and to
construct a walkway between what is now the Palmer State Office Building and the Court
System building.
You asked for additional information on the Alaska Public Offices Commission electronic
filing project ($350,000) in our capital budget and the cost of hand entry of data. It
may be another day or two before I can get that for you.
The PERS/TRS technical fix bill is on the House floor tomorrow; we are trying to get
amendments ready for SB 125/cost share (which is now scheduled for Thurs. afternoon) and I
will be involved in ARM Board meetings Thursday and Friday, so - I apologize in advance

Governor - at this point, there are several big items that have not been
addressed. If we try to keep the FY2008 budget, given the new revenue
estimate, under $4 billion, Muni Rev Sharing $48*1, Education Funding
$111.0, PERS/TRS ??, capital $100.0, will likely come from remaining
FY2007 surplus. We will need to regroup on PERS/TRS with the
legislative proposal to see what cash infusion, if any, is necessary in
FY2008. The change in the revenue picture makes it even more important
to keeping the focus on $3.9 billion for FY2008 - but there are still
some big budget pressures out there that we need to work on! Karen

Tib: would you find for me the fiscal impacts on budget as. we fight for the $48 mil Muni
Rev Share - how it fits in with our proposed PERSTRS contribution. We'll be asked about
it, no doubt, in tomorrow's press conf. We'll be asked if this 48 mil takes the place of a
portion of the PERS contribution, or can we afford this IN ADDITION to PERS fix.

E-MAIL/FAX UPDATE & ALERT
April 25, 2007
TO: NFCSC Members
FROM: Bob Douglas, President
RE: April 2007 Update and Action Alert! .
Good News - Bad News!
The House Senate Conference Committee Report includes a one year reauthorization of the
Secure Rural Schools and Communities Act. That is good news! The bad news is that the
Senate (five year reauthorization) version was not accepted by the Conference Committee. The
other bad news is that the President is expected to veto this bill.
A New Emergency Supplemental is in the Planning Stages - Better News!
Because of this, we will likely get a second bite at the apple. We believe based on our
intelligence, that there is a better than ever chance to insert some version of the Senates five year
reauthorization in the new supplemental spending bill, but only if we can increase the sense of
importance of this issue and the urgency to act immediately among members of the Hou$e of
Representatives,
Action Alert
We are told that the House Leadership team reports that they are not hearing from many
members of the House that a multi-year reauthorization of Secure Rural Schools and
Communities is an urgent need. Clearly our grassroots effort has been insufficient! We need to
double our efforts this week and next so that instead we receive the report that the message has
been delivered loudly and clearly and members of Congress from our states feel compelled to
act now!
11/10/2009
PRA GSP01 0001274
Page 4 of 5
Action Needed Now!
1 . Contact your member of Congress and ask them to do the following:
a. Personally speak to Leadership and strongly urge that the five year senate language be
included in the new Emergency Spending bill. Member to member contact is
essential. Member to Leadership contacts is even more important!
2. Fax a letter to House Leadership and the Chairman of the House Appropriations
Committee urging immediate action to reach agreement with Senate Leadership on
language that funds a five year reauthorization of the Secure Rural Schools and
Communities Act and the inclusion of this language in the new Emergency Spending bill.
House Leadership - Speaker Nancy Pelosi
Fax #202-225-41 88
House Appropriations - Congressman Dave Obey, Chairman
Fax #202-225-3240
3. Contact your local newspaper and radio stations and make a case for why this extension
is important for your county and your schools and what will happen if funding is not
approved. Emphasize the following:
a. Congress has stated that this is an emergency and they must place language in the new
Emergency Spending bill to address the circumstances of rural schools and
communities.
b. This must be done now! It cannot wait for an elongated national policy debate over
other issues.
c. This is the best opportunity in the foreseeable future for Congress to stabilize support
for rural schools and communities for the next five years. Act now and avert the
disaster!
Please take the time to Act Now! Without a high volume and immediate response, we will
not get this done. With such a response, we may be able to convince the members of the
House and their Leaders to take bold and decisive action. It's in your hands!
A twenty-person strike team from the Coalition will be on the ground in DC all of next week
to support and reinforce this grassroots advocacy and media campaign.
Thank you for your efforts !

Governor,
I understand that tomorrow you'll be meeting with Senator Cowdery and Greg Wolf from World
Trade Center. I wanted to give you a heads up that I met w/ Cowdery while I was in Juneau.
During that meeting he told me that they planned to increase the amount, from the
$650,000 initially requested in the proposal, to $700,000 and that they plan to open a
State of Alaska trade office in Vietnam (although not included in WTC's proposal).
Another subject that Greg will likely bring up is the Export Alaska luncheon on May 29th.
You've been invited to participate and present the Governor's Exporter of the Year Award.
Below is what I pasted from their website. FYI, our International Trade Office works with
businesses to encourage nominations, collects nominations etc.
I had good discussions w/Mike Tibbies & John Bitney while I was in Juneau and they know
what my thoughts on the subject of WTC, and the proposal, are. I also understand that
PRA GSP01 0001277
there are other dynamics involved

MESSAGE :
April 24th, 2007
Dear Governor Palin,
Thank you for your recent interest in the grassroots movement for empowerment
in e- commerce and online selling of Alaska Native art and rural tourism. I have had
a conversation with Bill Allen, Marty Meyer and Michael Hanzuk {DCCED, ARDOR) .
While they have all be interested and helpful, responses remains on a small scale.
For Alaska to grow, for this e- commerce movement to take off, to go beyond my
personal efforts for 3+ years, it needs the leverage and breadth of the State. That
takes another kind of empowerment, leadership. I have worked from the
grassroots up, from village to village, and more recently in groups at VBC (outside
PRA GSP01 0001281
of Sutton) with peer support for this work. Now the State needs to give the power
from the top down.
Alaska is poised for e-commerce success on a community level with the
introduction of high speed internet in the villages and rural areas, I petitioned for
it in Glacier View and we got DSL speeds! Hurrah! But this movement is stalled. It
happens only when I get funding to give a workshop for a few more villages. And
post workshop support, online support is only what I have been able to do. (I have
a blog for my participants and a group made website!)
As James A. of Scammon Bay once told me, "Don't walk the tundra alone". That
could be a DCCED motto! It is so Alaskan. So the work is stuck. Rumor has it there
may be funding for another T3X3 (Train The Trainer in e-commerce sales)
workshop series. While that is good news, it is not a movement. And Alaska has
that capacity. Alaskans have that capacity, if they are given the thinking and tech
and business skills. This is not about putting up buildings or installing computers.
it is about people building, where everything else will start. We can be competitive
in a world market like India, Ireland and China. Why not?
This is me. That's all there is. And 50+ villages that I have either visited and taught
or that have come to my group workshops (more people, better diversity, peer
group, long term support) . Let's work to make this really bloom! Let's move from
the model of building things to empowering people. I have some practical action
items for this. The State has the scope. You have the vision and concern.
Give me 30 minutes to present to you and I will be done in 20, and then listen. I
am passionate about this. That is what rural Alaska needs now.
Good wishes,
Joseph Davis

MESSAGE :
I have a problem with the local and lower 48 Independent Medical Evaluators who are
further backlogging
our already swamped Worker f s Compensation system, causing undue stress to injured worker's
}^y basically
lying about the validity of workers compensation claims and I want to see them put on a
very short leash.
I was injured in 1998 while plowing snow at the city of Anchorage. After denial of
benefits and an
approxiamtely two year wait, I fought my denied claim for benefits and won. I recieved
retraining and
future medical benefits. Even though I won future medical benefits, I have been sent at
great expense,
mandatorily to 4 IME ! s to have my claim reviewed. This year, the insurance adjuster for my
former
employer finally became so desperate that they found an IME that wasn't afraid to lie out
his teeth by
PRA GSP01 0001286
making up a false allegation, if one could call it that. It was enough to make the
adjuster decide they
could contravert my claim, I don f t know who to blame, but believe that if there weren ! t
lying IME 1 s out
there, insurance adjusters and employers would have to turn to doctor's regemented by the
hippocatic oath
(first do no harm) .
If you are unfamiliar with IME ! s, first think about this; Why would an insurance company
or adjuster send
an injured worker all the way to Oregon and Washington state at great expense if the work
could be done
by doctor's in Alaska? IME ! s are known to be crooked folks who lie for insurance
companies . They operate
from stink little dimly lit offices* They are licensed in several states. We let them
continue with their
dirty work. There is no need for an IME. We have doctors.
I was first sent to an IME in Alaska. When he lied and would have caused great risk to the
people of
Anchorage by trying to send me back to work on heavy narcotics, running snow removal
equipment, with
little strength in my arms and lacking sleep, I went on the attack against him and made
some impact.
Since that so called exam by the so-called doctor, they have been sending me to the
states.
Now, my claim is again contraverted by IME ! s, I have to return to the worker's
compensation system and
will be adding to their already heavily overloaded workload. What is worse, the claim for
contraversion
has no validity. The claim states that since I have improved 90 percent and want to return
to work, I no
longer need medical benefits. I am improved because of the drugs. If I go off the drugs, I
will not be
improved .
Please consider investigating these court proven bias people who think they can cheat
Alaskans out of
deserved benefits. Remember, all I want is my medical bills paid.
I think you are doing a wonderful job and that means the entire governor's office and I
thank you.
Good luck.

I spoke again today with the Vice President's staff concerning the draft AGIA letter.
They continue to assure me that the letter is receiving high level consideration and that
no impediments have been identified.
Today, I emphasized that we are at a crunch point with the legislature given the various
committee referrals and the hundred and twenty day session limit. Hints, the red value
of the letter is now.
All of this is just to let you know that I'm staying on this and will advise you as soon as I

RE: Confidential Div of Ag and MatMaid
Governor, thank you for following up on this so quickly.
I think back to the previous administration where there was a strong position to totally
eliminate the Division of Agriculture; and even with the significant work ahead of us, I
remain convinced that the Ag community, comprised of hard working Alaska familes like your
friend, deserves the support of a properly functioning Ag division.
The only way we are going to solve the numerous Ag problems is with leadership that
evaluates both short and long term issues on a business basis, can manage people,
communicates with all parties, and is capable of helping the Ag community work together
and plan together. This must include the Director, the Creamery Board, and the BAC.
Reorganization / restructuring of the boards must be considered to reestablish
accountibility and trust. Your Administration is more than capable of this task.
Please let me know when you hear from
Privilege, G od bless Tom

I spoke with my friend, Privileged or Personal L who is married into one of the few remaining

Also, how is it that the MatMaid execs have received substantial pay increases while the
business was losing so much money - and the farmers haven't received a penny more for
their milk despite their tremendous costs rising as they produce the milk for MatMaid?
Sounds like the woes expressed by commercial fishermen who get paid less and less for
fish as the canneries make greater and greater profit and fish prices rise in the stores.
Anyway, pis don't use Privileged or Per^ name _ b u t pis know we've got a lot of cleaning up to
do in the Ag arena. [Privileael understands times are changing in Alaska and our take is that
the business minds working MatMaid evidently may not have changed along with the times.

MESSAGE:
Dear Governor Palin,
I sent this email on April 18th to Mr. Seaton, and though I haven't received a reply as of
yet, I wanted
to share my concerns about this issue with you as well. Please let me know what your
thoughts are on
this, and how. we can rectify this ever growing, and escalating, problem. I know you have

views . What do we do?
Thank you for your time.

PRA GSP01 0001304
Dear Mr. Seaton,
My name is Leona Alexander. I live here in Homer, and this up and coming school year, my
son will be
attending Homer High School. As a parent of a soon to be freshman, my husband and I, and
many other
parents of soon to be freshman, were invited to the Homer High School library to attend an
orientation to
explain what to expect for our child's education.
Dr. Keffer, the principal, explained to us what the situation with the school funding, or
the potential
lack of, was. Dr. Keffer told us that there have been approximately four studies total,
done by outside
sources, hired by the State of Alaska, that suggested the Kenai Peninsula Borough School
District has
been under funded by $10 million dollars per year, for that last several years. The first
three reports
done by these outside sources didn't provide the answers that the State wanted to hear so
our School
District was dismissed. The last study provided by the last outside source, came up with
the same study
and suggestions. The State of Alaska decided that maybe the sources had been correct and
gave the School
District approximately $2 million dollars. Now, this information that I have relayed to
you, provided by
Dr. Keffer isn't verbatim, but it's pretty close and the dollar amounts are. I am
completely, and
utterly disgusted and very frustrated.
I knew that all of this was a big issue. My husband and I have been listening over the
past few years,
knowing in the back of our minds that our son was going to be a part of this situation. I
think that
both of us had hoped that the state of Alaska would make things better by the time our son
got to High
School. This has not happened. And it is extremely scary that the direction that we're
heading for, by
not properly funding our children's future is getting worse and I don f t see any support
for our schools.
I have a daughter who will be in Homer High School in four years. What will the lack of
our schools
funding be then? To what extreme will it be then? Why is it that nobody is listening and
doing
something about it? I don't want to hear excuses why there is failure to provide our
schools the funds
PRA GSP01 0001305
that our children deserve. I want to hear, for once, how our state is making a difference
in mine, and
everyone else's child's life. Where is the money? Where is the priority? Where's the
sense of urgency?
Since I have been a parent participating/volunteering in my children's lives, I hear from
so many
parents, that because of the direction our schools are heading, because of teacher cuts,
classroom sizes
are too large, etc., they are either pulling, or have pulled their children out of the
schools to
homeschool . It ■ s become a vicious cycle . There ' s not enough money because of the low
enrollment,
there's low enrollment because parents are tired of all the lack of funding, then more
parents start
home- schooling. Look at what has been created it's a cycle that can be stopped.
Give the
parent's a reason to leave their children enrolled in public schools. Parents are
responsible for
raising our children to the best of our ability. Our public schools are responsible for
providing the
best education that money can buy. All of us are entitled to it. This is our future, how
can we just
dismiss this responsibility?
My husband, Rick, suggested that I contact you. I figured that you could either direct me
in the right
direction, or pass this message to the whomever it needs to go.
Thanks for your time, and I really appreciate any help you can provide with this very
important matter.
Sincerely,
Leona Alexander

As you know, current Trustees serve until a new Trustee is appointed and confirmed therefore an

John,
Information on WTC that I thought you might find helpful:
Funding for WTC has fluctuated over the years. It has averaged $125k.
Last year WTC received $450k but that consisted of $150k in operating and $300k in capital. I
understand that last year was the first time WTC rec'd additional capital funding. The projects
under that capital grant have not yet been completed. I think a good bit of those funds remain
unspent... but am checking.
The two capital projects are as follows:
1) $150k for light boxes to be deployed in four Asian world trade centers. One has been
deployed thus far in Taiwan.
2) $150k for the Discover Alaska project. This project involves inviting mid-level
executives from Asian businesses to visit Alaska on familiarization tours. I believe Greg
has been to Asia promoting this idea, but the tours have not yet occurred.

Subject: WTC Funding
John,
Information on WTC that I thought you might find helpful:
Funding for WTC has fluctuated over the years. It has averaged $125k.
Last year WTC received $450k but that consisted of $1 50k in operating and $300k in capital. I understand that
last year was the first time WTC rec'd additional capital funding. The projects under that capital grant have not yet
been completed. I think a good bit of those funds remain unspent... but am checking.
The two capital projects are as follows:
1) $150k for light boxes to be deployed in four Asian world trade centers. One has been deployed thus far
in Taiwan.
2) $150k for the Discover Alaska project. This project involves inviting mid-level executives from Asian
businesses to visit Alaska on familiarization tours. I believe Greg has been to Asia promoting this idea,
but the tours have not yet occurred.

Commissioner Jackson. [Privileged dhas been removed.
I am advocating for 12 voting members. I think this final list strikes a balance, represents all sides of the

We had nearly 100 applicants in all, and have spent two months developing this board.

The MHTA panel sent forward one name (Dr. Burgess of Homer).
The panel sent the name after the deadline to submit names to the Legislature for confirmation. Also, they only
sent one name for consideration.
We were considering |Privileg^ for this board, but she will serve on the Health Council instead. We have no other
serious candidates at this time.
The MHTA can still have quorum at board meetings with the current members whether we act now or make an

I'm sure you are extremely busy but my Board is getting concerned about the appointment of a new
Trustee to replace John Malone whose term expired on March 3rd and who is term limited out from
continuing to serve.
As you know, current Trustees serve until a new Trustee is appointed and confirmed therefore an interim
appointment will not give us a new Trustee.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to assist you.

Governor ,
I received a call from Rick Halford, who was calling from Dillingham,
and in and out of Alegnagik. Rick was asking if he needs to plan on any-
further discussions with you, or a trip to Juneau. He intends to call
me back later today since he cannot always be reached on his cell
phone. If you would like to talk with him directly I could redirect him
to you.
Also, I know the Legislative leadership is meeting with you on Monday
morning, although I am not sure if it is focused on AG1A, solely, or
not. Do you want Pat, Tom or me to attend this meeting? Please feel
free to say no, but I need to ask as various legislators are broaching
the meeting with us.
Thanks ,
Marty

We'll be joining the efforts of Rep Stoltze (tho I haven't told him yet, but surely he'd
presume it) with the Eklutkna gambling issue. Don't know what all he wants to do in
protecting his community's rights (and Alaska's rights), but we're on the same page on the
potential gambling proposal on " Stoltze f s Way" in Chugiak.
We need to get a public statement out re: our intentions, Bit needs to vet this - using
his discernment with strategy - with legislators who signed "the letter" and are using
Talis' s comments about the letter against him and his confirmation, and rural legislators
need to be assured we're not racists or being discriminatory on this.
There is misinformation out there on admin's position, I've heard it's even percieved that
Todd's native background is/was a reason Talis didn't "jump" when legislators presented
the idea of taking action on Eklutna 's request. For the record, I've not connected the two
at all with this issue, have not ever mentioned it, and I want that cleared up so
legislators know clearly my position on casinos, potentially, in Chugiak and elsewhere.
Thanks i
Also - VOT mentioned yest that we still haven't publicly stated our position on this.
Talis was wise to consider the issue, to take time to do so be this issue is much larger
than Eklutna' s gaming issue, and I support Talis in this.
PRA GSP01 0001338
But we do need to state our position and work from there. Surprised I haven't been asked
by press yet.

Kari,

I spoke w/Denise Christopher w/the Mat-Su Miners this afternoon regarding their upcoming
season. They are putting together a u Governor Palin Day at the Park" in June. I believe
Rep. Stoltze is involved in this as well. They've kept several dates open and I suggested
that she work directly with you on finalizing.
Also, there's a Miners baseball clinic for Valley kids that the Mat-Su Delegation has
sponsored in the past. If Governor Palin is interested in sponsoring the clinic it could
coincide with the "Governor Palin Day at the Park" game. The kids get shirts and other
things that say something like w Mat-Su Miners Baseball Clinic sponsored by Governor
Palin."

April 28, 2007
State of Alaska
The Office of the Governor
Juneau Office
P.O. Box 110001
Juneau, AK 99811-0001
Dear Governor Palin,
I am writing in regards to the current contract negotiations between the
state and your GGU employees. I understand the necessity to be responsible
to the citizens of Alaska and attempt to keep the costs of running
government as low as possible. Even so, the state budget should not be
balanced on the back's of your GGU workforce. For too long state employees
have been moving backwards financially due to high rises in cost of living
and consistently little or no cost of living increases.
The wages offered for positions with the State of Alaska are generally not
competitive with private and federal employers. By not offering livable
wages that help us keep up with our living expenses the state will suffer.
You will loose current employees to better paying jobs and you will never
recruit the quality employees you want working for the state. The only
incentive current employees have to stick with the state is possibly the
retirement if they are tier I, II or III. As you know much of the states
workforce is ready for retirement. What will you do to fill those positions
when the pay is low and the pensions are gone?
PRA GSP01 0001347
I am a seven year employee with the State of Alaska's Division of Public
Assistance. I have held the same position for those seven years and
although my salary has increased, due to merit increases, I have steadily
gone backwards in my ability to pay my bills due to very small cost of
living increases. The cost of living offered by previous administrations
did not come close to keeping up with the actual rise in cost of living and
inflation. My merit increases are now very slow as I'm in longevity and
will not get raises every year, which means I will fall even further behind
My office has several open positions that we cannot find qualified
applicants to fill. I too am now looking at the possibility of moving to
federal employment as the pay is substantially higher to perform the same
job duties. If current negotiations do not yield a substantial increase in
wages, looking for new employment will become a necessary reality in order
to support my family. My back is against the wall Governor Pal in, please
choose to do right by your employees. Avoid a strike, stop attrition and
adequately pay your employees for the work they do.
Sincerely,
Brian D. Petrilla

Subject: RE: Bill McAllister
Today Senate Finance heard from BP, Trans Canada, and AGPA. House Finance heard from our
team.
Within the legislature today, the conversations focused on coordinating efforts between
the House and Senate in order to avoid the need for a Conference Committee to reconcile
any differences between the two sides. Generally, this is a very positive development.
However, Monday's meeting will likely focus on how the legislative leadership would like
to see the bill amended in order to get it into a reconciled position.
Good side: a reconciled bill speeds up the process
Bad side: the legislative leadership may ask for compromises on our part about the bill
in order to speed it up
Generally speaking...with AGIA located in both Finance Committees, the bill is in position
to pass quickly once we reach final consensus. With the 24 Hour Rule now in effect...the
opportunity is available to move the bill very quickly. Given the two weeks remaining in
session, this is plenty of time for the Committees to become familiar with the bill and
PRA GSP01 0001349
move it to the Floor for final passage.
The key will be the negotiations with legislative leadership. Expect Monday to be a
watershed meeting.

Hi Ivy,
I'm sure you are extremely busy but my Board is getting concerned about the appointment of a
new Trustee to replace John Malone whose term expired on March 3rd and who is term limited
out from continuing to serve.
As you know, current Trustees serve until a new Trustee is appointed and confirmed therefore
an interim appointment will not give us a new Trustee.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to assist you.

Thanks, all, for working on things like this that a lot of folks should have fun participating in. Just let me know when and
where, and I'll show up.
Shouldn't be much work on the state's part as these ball teams have been doing these ball nights forever and don't need our
assistance -just approval to advertise who's "night at the ballpark" it is.
The Bucs are another good and fun farm league team - they just happen to be based in Anch. And the Miners are the Valley.
Didn't know the Bucs wanted us too - we'd do it for them also. I still want to know -Does it cost the state anything or is this
basically used for their marketing? Its a good cause and I will be attending.

With a little bit of luck, an opening will appear soon in the Governor's amazingly hectic calendar ... and we'll ALL look
forward to a Palin family trip to the ballpark and buying them some peanuts and Cracker Jack. Although, of course, we DO
care that they DO come back.

Kari,
I spoke w/Denise Christopher w/the Mat-Su Miners this afternoon regarding their upcoming season. They are putting
together a "Governor Palin Day at the Park" in June. I believe Rep. Stoltze is involved in this as well. They've kept several
dates open and I suggested that she work directly with you on finalizing.
Also, there's a Miners baseball clinic for Valley kids that the Mat-Su Delegation has sponsored in the past. If Governor
Palin is interested in sponsoring the clinic it could coincide with the "Governor Palin Day at the Park" game. The kids get
shirts and other things that say something like "Mat-Su Miners Baseball Clinic sponsored by Governor Palin."
Denise is copied on this email.

The statute doesn't specify if the president/ceo of a seafood processor must sit on the
board. I think Law would agree the statute is open for interpretation and you could
choose anyone employed by the processor to represent the processor. I will make sure this

Subject: GGU Contract Negotiations
Dear Governor Palin:
I am proud to be an Alaskan, Employee of the State of Alaska, and member of the
ASEA/AFSCME Local 52 Union. I am extremely proud of the work that I do as an
employee of the State of Alaska and my fellow Alaskans; and to be honest with you, my
fellow state employees/workers and I deserve a fair contract. I/we work extremely hard
for the State of Alaska and our fellow Alaskans, and we take great pride in the work that
we do. However, I intend to stand strong with my fellow union members and other state
employees.
The prices of basic needs and necessities continue to increase. For example, food,
(meats, vegetables, fruits, milk, etc.), utilities (gas, water and sewer, electricity,
telephone, etc.), gas to fuel our cars and trucks to go back and forth to work, medical
services for our health. The list does not stop there, but I think the picture is clear, and
you know just how fast all costs are rising. Conversely, over the past 6 years, our wages
have increased at a slower pace than inflation, (i.e., we actually earn less per year than
we used to due to inflation being higher than our cost of living increases).
I ask that you consider the contract proposals of our Union, while keeping in mind our
responsibility to serve Alaskans, with a high quality and loyal workforce. Please help us
to continue to serve our fellow Alaskans and the State of Alaska in the future. I believe
that our union is proposing reasonable terms and conditions for a fair contract for all
General Government Union employees so that Alaskans can continue to work together
for our great State. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter.
Respectfully,
Chris Smith

Subject: A&EA/AFSCME GGU State Workers' Contract
Dear Governor Palin:
I know that you are extremely busy so Til be brief. I take pride in saying that this year marks the 30th year
that I have been an Alaskan. I also take great pride in working for the State that I love so dearly. While I
have the skills, education, and experience to work in the private sector, I choose to work for the State
because of the satisfaction I feel in serving the people of Alaska.
While I am a member of the ASEA/AFSCME Local 52 GGU Union, I honestly have never been much
involved with the union's activities- that is until this year. In prior years when the union negotiated
contracts for Alaska's employees, I did not feel much need to participate. But this year is different,
fundamentally because the ever increasing cost of living, continues to erode my income. The price of
gasoline, energy, utilities, groceries, property taxes, etc. has greatly surpassed the meager increases in
State salaries in recent years, thereby making it difficult to earn an honest living. That is why this year,
more than ever, 1 feel that I need to do my part to ensure that my fellow coworkers and I receive a fair
working contract so that we can continue to provide for our families. Therefore, I intend to firmly stand
together with my fellow coworkers in negotiating a fair and reasonable contract.
I respectfully request that you consider our union's proposed contract, while keeping in mind the necessity
to serve Alaskans with a high quality and loyal workforce. I believe that the terms and
conditions the union has proposed are fair to both the State and its employees. Please help us to
continue to serve our State by approving the proposed contract. Thank you for your time and
consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
Tyler Clark

Subject: RE: DOA procurement in Wasifla
Governor:
Sorry it took me so long to get this response back to you, I needed
to talk with the contracting officers and review the Invitation to
Bid in addition to the correspondence surrounding this contract.
Royal Business Systems (RBS) bid on a statewide copier contract
(issued September 15, 2006 - Prebid conference was Oct. 6, 2006, and
bids had to be submitted by Dec. 20, 2006).
RBS has done work on some State copiers in the Valley prior to this
bid, but as I understand it, they were seeking to increase their
business through successful bidding on this contract.
Here is a brief summary of our award of copier contracts in the Mat-
Su Valley:
• On January 16, 2007, we issued a Notice of Intent for the
statewide copier contract. Royal Business Systems was named as
having six copiers in the Mat-Su Valley that were susceptible for
award. However, their bid did not include the required evidence
that their local service technician had manufacturer authorization
or certification to service their copiers.
• On January 26, 2007, Valley Business Machines protested Royal's
service technician qualifications. After multiple requests, Royal
provided enough supplemental information that we initially
determined their service technician met the ITB requirements and
denied Valley's protest.
• On March 12, 2007, Valley submitted an appeal which continued to
challenge the qualifications of Royal's service technician.
• On March 13, 2007, we requested that Royal have their
manufacturers each provide a letter or email that clearly certified
that their service technician is trained and authorized to provide
service and maintenance on machines in the Mat-Su valley. They were
given until March 20, 2007 to provide the evidence.
• On March 21, 2007, after not receiving any additional information
from Royal, we determined them non-responsive for the Mat-Su
Valley.
• On March 27, 2007, Royal protested our non-responsive
determination and argued that we should not have required more
information but provided no additional evidence.
• On March 29, 2007, we denied their protest. Royal did not appeal
8/25/2009
PRA GSP01 0001408
Page 2 of 6
and we are proceeding to award. Valley Business Machines did provide
the certifications of its technicians.
This situation revealed to the State Procurement Officer that the
State needs to be more vigilant in ensuring that technicians for
these contracts are certified to work on the machines bid. The State
erred in its initial qualification of RBS, and had an opportunity to
revisit that only because of the complaint by Valley Business
Machines. The State is bound to respond when someone protests a
bid. As you can imagine f sometimes the complaint is valid and
sometimes not. In this case, it's hard to understand why RBS did not
timely respond with its service technician's credentials, when the
contract was on the line. Because it did not, it will be out of game
on this contract. The contract has one-year extensions, and there
will be another opportunity for RBS to correct the problems that it
encountered on this contract. We are also committed to make the next
contract simpler to respond to.
Governor, I want to be sure you're also aware of this background,
although it doesn't bear on whether RBS' technicians are certified or
not :
A year ago, Mr. David Eibeck, owner of Royal Business Systems,
Privileged or Personal Material Redacted privileged c
After
discussion with the Attorney General's office he was advised on April
23 f 2007 that, "The state considers altering an email message a
serious matter that cannot be overlooked. As a result, we are
suspending your contract though August 31, 2006, and requiring you to
assign another individual to administer the contract and represent
RBS (Royal Business Systems) in all dealings with State of Alaska
personnel regarding copier sales and maintenance agreements and the
Division of General Services. This condition would also apply to the
upcoming solicitation that will result in new statewide copier
contracts".
I hope this helps you evaluate the criticism that the State acted to
"favor" someone else in this invitation to bid. It is my opinion in
the face of all of the evidence I have seen, that that assertion is
not true,
ak

Signing AGIA Resolution]
Here's the text going into my May I Newsletter:
Do You Know Who Owns Alaska?
As an Alaskan, did you know that YOU own the oil, gas, coal, gold and other mineral wealth in
Alaska? Most Alaskans either do not know or have forgotten that our State is unique. Alaska is the
ONLY State that has placed ownership of its mineral wealth in the hands of the people of the
State — our wealth can not be owned by any one individual or corporation. We are not "paid to Eve
here" as our PFD is often mistakenly explained. We are paid a dividend on die development of our
resources. Let me share with you five very important ramifications we must embrace:
First: Alaskans are uniquely an "Owner" State. Since we are all owners, we must
respect each other and develop our resources TODAY in order to provide maximum job
opportunities for our people and allow our children the promise of jobs TOMORROW.
Unfortunately, it seems some people in the State are intent on limiting opportunity and
advancement for others and are trying to shut down the opportunity to develop the
resources that will permit us to pay our own way well into the future, as a responsible
State should and soon must.
Second: Because we are the owners, we can not succumb to powerful parties who
would try to intimidate us with the idea that they will no longer cooperate in the
development of our resources, I'm no lawyer, but that threat sounds shaky. Former
Governor Walter J, Hickel wrote in the April 15, 2Q07 Anchorage Daily News, "(In) the
1984 Amerada Hess case that pitted the state against the producersG) Judge Walter
Carpeneti ruled that the "covenant to market" means that when a project involving the
state's resources is 'reasonably profitable, measured on its own merit,' the producers
have a duty to participate." In other words, we've been down this road before and we
must NOT forget that our position as OWNERS means we bargain from strength not
inability.
Third We have both the ability to move forward in the development of our resources, and we have
the responsibility to do so. How often are we going to fail to do what's necessary unless we find
someone else to pay for out development? For example, it seems we won't build a road any more
11/10/2009
PRA GSP01 0001417
Page 2 of 3
unless the Feds fund it. Are we going to drag our feet on the gasline unless the Producers do it? Have we forgotten that in the late 1960s our
State leaders argued for Prudhoe Bay by being willing to produce the oil, with or without the Producers? Big Oil knew then we had the ability
and knew that it was our right. To perhaps oversimplify the argument, it's time for us, THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ALASKA, and Our
leaders, to step forward with the will to bring to market our resources. The Producers have already stated that we are in a
window of opportunity and they don't want to lose this profitable opportunity. Not unexpectedly, they will do everything in
their power, during the negotiating period, to maximize every last bit of profit for themselves. And we, too, must responsibly
move forward, without unnecessary delay, because the gasline is a project that will create good paying jobs for many of our
people, and if done right — to include petrochemical production within our State, perhaps even right here in North Pole — natural
gas becomes a legacy project that will positively impact our economy for our children's children! Development of our resources
is not just a natural gas and oil issue, it also applies to all the vast mineral wealth throughout our State.
Fourth: The Alaska Statehood Act passed by Congress in 1958 gave 103 million acres, including the sub-surface rights to the
people of the State of Alaska (approximately the same size as California). But what defines, "the people of the State?" There are
quite a few people who reside in Alaska who do not have the success of State of Alaska in mind. I call these people,
"transients." Sometimes they are transient by design, in order to stop the efforts of true Alaskans from developing a vigorous
and self-sustaining economy; and sometimes they are accidental, just "doing time" until they can get back Outside. Personally, I
don't consider a transient an Alaskan at all. Just because someone is able to collect a PFD check, doesn't really mean they have
become an Alaskan at heart. There's no legal test that can be applied, just practical ones. For example, when asked about your
State, if you respond with everything about the State from which you've come, you're NOT Alaskan! However, if you can see
yourself as a vital and constructive part of the success of this State, no matter how small or how big a role you have in the
effort, you are an Alaskan. Notice, the test is not in whether you or I succeed in what we want to accomplish in this State, but
whether or not we can put our individual accomplishment second to the success of the enterprise, the State of Alaska. Don't
get me wrong, we need to personally succeed in order to support ourselves and our families and to accomplish the greater good,
but do we put our self motivated interests above the greater good? (You and I know people who say, "My success IS the greater
good!") It all boils down to us working to better the present and future generations* ability to live and work in Alaska as we and
they choose. Then there are no small roles; just limits to our imagination and our courage.
Finally: If you want your Permanent Fund Dividend check to really grow, imitate the corporate shareholder in a Wall Street
company and DEMAND MAXIMUM, RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT AND RETURN for the leases of your
resources. Let your voice be heard with the "Board of Directors," i.e., the legislature and the Congress, and even affected
parties like the Producers who have taken out the leases. Tell them, let's fund it! Let's get it done! Let's move forward! What
about the Governor? She gets it. From what I can tell, AGIA is all about being an owner. Let's support her.
For our State — the State of Alaska— to succeed, every generation must have leadership that makes wise and hard decisions. If s time for you
and me to step forward.

Governor Palin Thanks North Pole Mayor & City Council
for Signing AGIA Resolution
April, 30, 2007, Juneau, Alaska - Governor Sarah Palin thanks North Pole Mayor Doug Isaacson and members of the
North Pole City Council for supporting the Aiaska Gasline Inducement Act through a Resolution of the North Pole City
Council dated April 16, 2007.
"Alaskans across the State are supportive of AGIA," said Governor Sarah Palin. "They like that it establishes a public,
open, transparent, and competitive process; jobs for Alaskans; gas for Alaskans; and timetables to get our gas to
market as quickly as possible. I appreciate Mayor Isaacson and members of the City Council for publicly showing their
support, and I look forward to continue working with them on the gasline."
The Alaska Gasline Inducement Act continues to make its way through the House and Senate finance committees.
Leaders of both Chambers say they expect passage of AGIA before the legislative session ends.

Fairbanksan to fill vacant regents seat
By Stefan Milkowski
Published May 1, 2007
JUNEAU — A Fairbanksan will fill the University of Alaska Board of Regents seat vacated
by Jim Hayes, according to a spokeswoman for Gov. Sarah Palin.
Meghan Stapleton, the spokeswoman, said Monday the governor had chosen a resident of
Fairbanks to replace Hayes, who resigned last week. Palin will announce her appointment
Thursday in Fairbanks at a Rotary International luncheon, where she was previously
scheduled to speak, Stapleton said.
Hayes, a former Fairbanks mayor, resigned Friday under pressure from the governor and
lawmakers and following a federal indictment on charges of fraud unrelated to his service
on the board of regents.
Local lawmakers have expressed concern about Fairbanks' representation on the board, which
is responsible for governing the statewide university system, and encouraged Palin to fill
the seat with someone from Fairbanks.
Stapleton did not say who was chosen.

Subject: RE; DOA procurement in Wasilla
Governor:
Sorry it took me so long to get this response back to you. I needed to talk with the
contracting officers and review the Invitation to Bid in addition to the correspondence
surrounding this contract.
Royal Business Systems (RBS) bid on a statewide copier contract (issued September 15, 2006
- Prebid conference was Oct. 6, 2006, and bids had to be submitted by Dec. 20, 2006) .
RBS has done work on some State copiers in the Valley prior to this bid, but as I
understand it, they were seeking to increase their business through successful bidding on
this contract.
Here is a brief summary of our award of copier contracts in the Mat-Su Valley:
On January 16, 2007, we issued a Notice of Intent for the statewide copier
contract. Royal Business Systems was named as having six copiers in the Mat-Su Valley that
were susceptible for award. However, their bid did not include the required evidence that
their local service technician had manufacturer authorization or certification to service
their copiers .
PRA GSP01 0001423
On January 26, 2007, Valley Business Machines protested Royal's service
technician qualifications. After multiple requests, Royal provided enough supplemental
information that we initially determined their service technician met the ITB requirements
and denied Valley's protest.
On March 12, 2007, Valley submitted an appeal which continued to challenge
the qualifications of Royal's service technician.
On March 13, 2007, we requested that Royal have their manufacturers each
provide a letter or email that clearly certified that their service technician is trained
and authorized to provide service and maintenance on machines in the Mat-Su valley. They
were given until March 20, 2007 to provide the evidence.
On March 21, 2007, after not receiving any additional information from
Royal, we determined them non-responsive for the Mat-Su Valley.
On March 27, 2007, Royal protested our non- responsive determination and
argued that we should not have required more information but provided no additional
evidence .
On March 29, 2007, we denied their protest. Royal did not appeal and we are
proceeding to award. Valley Business Machines did provide the certifications of its
technicians.
This situation revealed to the State Procurement Officer that the State needs to be more
vigilant in ensuring that technicians for these contracts are certified to work on the
machines bid. The State erred in its initial qualification of RBS, and had an opportunity
to revisit that only because of the complaint by Valley Business Machines. The State is
bound to respond when someone protests a bid. As you can imagine, sometimes the complaint
is valid and sometimes not. In this case, it's hard to understand why RBS did not timely
respond with its service technician's credentials, when the contract was on the line.
Because it did not, it will be out of game on this contract. The contract has one-year
extensions, and there will be another opportunity for RBS to correct the problems that it
encountered on this contract. We are also committed to make the next contract simpler to
respond to.
Governor, I want to be sure you're also aware of this background, although it doesn't bear
on whether RBS' technicians are certified or not:
PRA GSP01 0001424
A year ago, Mr. David Eibeck, ow ner of Royal Business Systems,
IPriw ila n a rL ci r Personal Material RpHarteH
Privileged or Personal Material Re
Privileged oq After discussion with the Attorney General's office he was advised on April 23,
2007 that, "The state considers altering an email message a serious matter that cannot be
overlooked. As a result, we are suspending your contract though August 31, 2006, and
requiring you to assign another individual to administer the contract and represent RBS
(Royal Business Systems) in all dealings with State of Alaska personnel regarding copier
sales and maintenance agreements and the Division of General Services. This condition
would also apply to the upcoming solicitation that will result in new statewide copier
contracts" .
I hope this helps you evaluate the criticism that the State acted to "favor" someone else
in this invitation to bid. It is my opinion in the face of all of the evidence I have
seen, that that assertion is not true.

Subject: RE: Negotiations Update April 30, 2007
Thanks for the update Bruce, Today is my last day in my state supervisor position and I want to let you
know that I support your message below. Supervisor's have not had adequate pay raises, have taken on
more work, cannot find qualified people for vacant positions, deal with constant turnover and put in a lot of
extra hours to make sure state responsibilities/work are completed. I have decided to leave Juneau and
move to Anchorage to find employment outside of state government. It is not so desirable to work for the
state any longer. If I were remaining in state employment, I would vote to strike for a new contract. There
is money in the state accounts, and I feel that supervisors who hold a lot of knowledge, experience and
responsibility continue to be devalued. Enough is enough. The fact that Commissioners can get a 34%
increase and they are temporary appointments sickens me as a state employee and as a tax paying
citizen.
Regards,
Stacy Goaded

Fellow Supervisors,
We are back at the negotiating table this week. A federal mediator is now brokering
discussions between us and the Administration's negotiators. Unfortunately and not
surprisingly, it is not going well. As we have been saying all along, we are in this battle
for the long haul. It seems clear the Palin Administration has little interest in reaching
an agreement with their employees.
The state is sitting on Billions of dollars in surpluses. In addition there are Billions of
Dollars in the various state savings accounts. It's clear when the state needed to raise
salaries to recruit qualified and competent Commissioners, they did.. ..by 34%.(see
attached graph) The state can find money when they want to.
This is not about finding money, or about the state's ability to pay. This is about the
Palin Administration valuing their supervisors.
Your negotiating team,
Bruce Senkow (Northern primary) Tim Viavant (alternate)
Dean Williams (Southcentral primary) Bill Parker (alternate)
John White (Southeast primary) Ray Preston (alternate)
Bruce Ludwig (Chief Spokesperson)
RESPECT = FAIR PAY

Importance: High
The Lt. Governor and a moment of opportunity
By Andrew Halcro
It was a question that was whispered quietly during the first few weeks of AGIA
testimony. During the last few weeks of AGIA testimony, the question has been raised
publicly. Where is the voice of Lt. Governor Sean Parnell?
From talk show hosts to legislators to journalists, Parnell's noticeable absence during the
debate over AGIA has many wondering why. After all, as one local columnist wrote
rhetorically, wasn't he considered the brains of the organization when it came to oil &
gas.
At least that was the hope. And for awhile hope was plentiful.
On day one of Governor Sarah Palin's administration, Parnell was a high profile in meet
and greets with the oil & gas industry concerning the construction of an Alaska Natural
Gas Pipeline. For pipeline advocates this was a reassuring sign, as Parnell with his calm,
cool operating style and his history as a respected legislator, was considered the greatest
hope to provide a counterbalance in an incoming administration known to be openly
hostile towards the oil & gas industry.
After the election, Parnell was instantly embraced by given a key role in handling budget
matters during the transition. He became Governor Palin's wingman on fiscal issue for
press conferences and talk show appearances.
Whenever the Governor was asked a question of any magnitude about state finances,
11/10/2009
PRA GSP01 0001438
Page 2 of 3
she'd step back almost on cue and Parnell's voice instantly filled the void. His previous
experience of serving eight years in the legislature, including two years as the powerful Senate
Finance Co-Chair, gave him the street credibility to talk about Alaska's fiscal outlook. However,
as soon as the budget was handed off to the legislature, he disappeared.
Two weeks ago before I a meeting with the Governor's gas line team, Parnell made his position
known. I've heard people ask where I am and I'll tell you I'm behind the Governor and AGIA, he
said. During the last two weeks, Parnell has become more of a visible pitchman for AGIA.
He penned an Op/Ed entitled "Turn the Private Sector Loose", which has been published in local
newspapers. Yesterday at a press conference, he offered his first public quote on AGIA saying,
"These producers treat the legislative process as a negotiation". But when you hear his voice and
read his words, someone has to ask, does he really believe in AGIA.
During his term in Juneau, Parnell was a key legislator who participated in crafting the Stranded
Gas Act as well as the development agreement terms that made the Northstar field a reality.
Ironically, both deals recognized the need for give and take to encourage development,
something that AGIA lacks.
He was always a small government guy whose belief rested in the fact that government didn't
know best. During his final two years as a State Senator was the driving force behind adopting
missions and measures for state government so the legislature could more accurately analyze the
bang they were getting for their buck.
During a particularly tough budget year in 1999 when criticism was mounting that Alaska wasn't
doing enough to invest in necessary services, he offered up a moving response. In a speech that
was dubbed "Rachel's Hands" Parnell argued tough decisions had to be made because he wanted
to protect his daughter by not saddling her with a government she couldn't pay for when she
grew up.
Since that speech, oil production has declined over 40% and the cost of state government has
almost doubled due to higher operating costs and changing demographics. By all accounts, the
sense of urgency for Alaska to get a pipeline deal is now and that's what makes Parnell's
unequivocal support for AGIA so confiising.
In his recent Op/Ed, he promotes AGIA by advocating the benefits of a new approach. However,
I couldn't get past the first paragraph with a straight face. Parnell opens his opinion piece by
writing, "It astonishes me that Alaska's political pundits think it is up to the state to get a gasline.
Government doesn't make private sector projects happen, the private sector does".
However, if you truly believe the private sector makes projects happen, then AGIA ought to
scare the hell out of you. As it is designed today, AGIA represents government - not the private
sector- establishing a list of unrealistic demands with the threat of take it or will try and make
you take it anyway.
After all, if you really believe the private sector makes projects happen, you recognize the fact
that the private sector does so only after evaluating all relevant financial and legal risks. If you
believe the private sector drives development, you recognize that the more complex and riskier
the project, the more need for flexibility and stability, not less. If you believe the private sector
that makes projects happen, you understand that government bureaucrats are the last people that
should be forcing poorly thought out development terms down the throat of the private sector.
However AGIA violates all of the fundamental premises that Parnell argues for in his Op/Ed
piece and certainly contradicts his legislative and personal history. In the legislature as a
respected leader, he recognized the need for diplomacy and negotiations to create partnerships
with the private sector. And as a former small business owner, Parnell understands the risks
associated with opening your doors for business every day.
In the last few days, with both AGIA bills in the House and Senate Finance Committees, the
testimony has become more and more direct. All major producers have said without some basic
changes to AGIA they will not offer a bid. Yesterday, Enbridge Pipeline Company repeated
what it has consistently said since day one; no producers - no pipeline. Ironically, the changes
11/10/2009
PRA GSP01 0001439
Page 3 of 3
the private sector is advocating for would recognize Parnell's argument he attempted to make in
his Op/Ed piece; the private sector, not government will make a pipeline happen.
Maybe Parnell's AGIA contradiction has to do with being a team player. Maybe it has to do with
political expediency or maybe he is a true believer in AGIA. In any case, if AGIA is actually
going to work, it needs changes.
Without some changes, Alaska could choose a partner who has no gas, no credit and no way to
finance the project. To add insult to injury, according to the terms of AGIA, Alaska could be
stuck with this same non preforming partner for up to 1 1 years as well be liable for almost a
billion dollars in penalties if we want to get out of the deal.
Lt. Governor Parnell, you have a chance to be a hero and protect the hands of every Alaskan,
young and old alike.

North Pole mayor backs pipeline bill
By Chris Eshleman
Published May 1, 2007
Mayor Doug Isaacson and North Pole City Council members have come out in support of Gov.
Sarah Palin's Alaska Gasline Inducement Act, which lays out incentives aimed at spurring
construction of a natural gas pipeline.
Isaacson said he supports Palin's approach toward building a pipeline. Her gas team's
style is a change from that of previous state officials who had proposed * surrendering"
the state's interests to those of the oil companies, he said.
tt This governor is thinking of ways to push for a fair pipeline," Isaacson said. w We need
to push forward. Now' s the time, the window of opportunity is not getting any longer."
The city of Fairbanks and the Fairbanks North Star Borough have not taken official stances
on Palin's plan.
Fairbanks North Star Borough Mayor Jim Whitaker has openly supported Palin's approach
toward spurring pipeline construction and said a couple of Borough Assembly members have
commented that a statement of support could be "appropriate." Whitaker is also chairman of
the Alaska Gasline Port Authority, a governmental entity of the Fairbanks and North Slope
boroughs and the city of Valdez that is proposing to build the gas line.

MESSAGE :
This is regarding the upcoming postal rate increases and how they are going to
negatively affect businesses in Alaska, particularly rural Alaskans, who do not have
cost-effective UPS and Fed X options.
The postal rate increases coming for May 14 (urgent!) are going to have a big
impact on my business and other businesses in Haines.
Those who sell and ship books, like myself, from rural Alaska are going to be
especially hard hit .
Priority Mail for Bound Printed Matter will now go from $4.05 per flat rate priority
PRA GSP01 0001450
mail (up to two pounds) or $2.12-$2.83 (for former first class/bound printed
matter) to $4.60 to $7.50, depending on the zone to which the package is being
shipped. From Haines, we are shipping to the higher number zones (6-8 for the
most part) . So, effectively the cost of shipping one to two books for my business
will increase from $2.12 or $4.05 to up to for the most part $6.55 to $7.50.
Media rate is being discontinued for parcels over 15 pounds (the size of cartons of
books) , Elsewhere in the country, publishers are being advised to use UPS or Fed
X. That obviously is not a solution for us here in Haines.
The increase for a first class letter is minor compared with other price increases
that will affect local business shipping and ordering scenarios.
If you will E-mail me at ci@akmk.com, I can send an attachment with the actual
changes that will affect rural Alaskan book publishers, such as myself, and most
other Alaskans, .
I hope Sarah Palin and the Alaska Legistlature can help support Senator Stevens in
addressing this issue at the federal level.

Governor Palin,
I wanted you to know that William stopped by my office this afternoon. We talked for nearly 45 minutes regarding
his thoughts on the University, the Board of Regents, his plans after graduation, his internship with the
Legislature, etc. He's top notch. Very humble, polite and articulate. He even took an opportunity to praise two of
the other nominations and spoke to their exceptional qualifications (the nominees from Kenai and Mat-Su).
William reiterated that the university needs to hold the line when it comes to spending and said that a lot of the
university projects (as well as other state capital projects) are contingent upon getting a gasline built He's a
proponent of vocational education, keeping Alaskans in Alaska, conservative budgeting and spending, and living
within our means. He believes the last two years the state has been very generous in both the operating and
capital budget toward the university and can see why the state would want to curb spending this year.
He's committed to fulfilling the two year requirement as a student regent and wouldn't have applied if he didn't
think he could fulfill the obligation to the administration and the board. He will be in Juneau for the next year
where he will begin a master program in education/teaching and then spend a semester in Anchorage to student

Subject: RE: DOA procurement in Wasilla
Governor:
Sorry it took me so long to get this response back to you. I needed to talk with the
contracting officers and review the Invitation to Bid in addition to the correspondence
surrounding this contract.
Royal Business Systems (RBS) bid on a statewide copier contract (issued September 15, 2006
- Prebid conference was Oct. 6, 2006, and bids had to be submitted by Dec. 20, 2006).
RBS has done work on some State copiers in the Valley prior to this bid, but as I
understand it, they were seeking to increase their business through successful bidding on
this contract.
PRA GSP01 0001458
Here is a brief summary of our award of copier contracts in the Mat-Su Valley:
On January 16, 2007, we issued a Notice of Intent for the statewide copier
contract. Royal Business Systems was named as having six copiers in the Mat-Su Valley that
were susceptible for award. However, their bid did not include the required evidence that
their local service technician had manufacturer authorization or certification to service
their copiers.
On January 26, 2001, Valley Business Machines protested Royal's service
technician qualifications. After multiple requests, Royal provided enough supplemental
information that we initially determined their service technician met the ITB requirements
and denied Valley's protest.
On March 12, 2007, Valley submitted an appeal which continued to challenge
the qualifications of Royal's service technician.
On March 13, 2007, we requested that Royal have their manufacturers each
provide a letter or email that clearly certified that their service technician is trained
and authorized to provide service and maintenance on machines in the Mat-Su valley. They
were given until March 20, 2007 to provide the evidence.
On March 21, 2007, after not receiving any additional information from
Royal, we determined them non-responsive for the Mat-Su Valley.
On March 27, 2007, Royal protested our non-responsive determination and
argued that we should not have required more information but provided no additional
evidence.
On March 29, 2007, we denied their protest. Royal did not appeal and we are
proceeding to award. Valley Business Machines did provide the certifications of its
technicians.
This situation revealed to the State Procurement Officer that the State needs to be more
vigilant in ensuring that technicians for these contracts are certified to work on the
machines bid. The State erred in its initial qualification of RBS, and had an opportunity
to revisit that only because of the complaint by Valley Business Machines. The State is
2
PRA GSP01 0001459
bound to respond when someone protests a bid. As you can imagine, sometimes the complaint
is valid and sometimes not. In this case, it's hard to understand why RBS did not timely
respond with its service technician's credentials, when the contract was on the line.
Because it did not, it will be out of game on this contract. The contract has one-year
extensions, and there will be another Opportunity for RBS to correct the problems that it
encountered on this contract. We are also committed to make the next contract simpler to
respond to.
Governor, I want to be sure you're also aware of this background, although it doesn't bear
on whether RBS' technicians are certified or not:
A year ago, Mr. David Eibeck, owner of Roval Business Systems,
Privileged or Personal Material Redac
[Privileged or Personal Material Redacted __^ ^ <
rivileaed or I After discussion witft the Attorney General's oxtice ne was advised on April 23,
2007 that, "The state considers altering an email message a serious matter that cannot be
overlooked. As a result, we are suspending your contract though August 31, 2006, and
requiring you to assign another individual to administer the contract and represent RBS
(Royal Business Systems) in all dealings with State of Alaska personnel regarding copier
sales and maintenance agreements and the Division of General Services. This condition
would also apply to the upcoming solicitation that will result in new statewide copier
contracts".
I hope this helps you evaluate the criticism that the State acted to "favor" someone else
in this invitation to bid. It is my opinion in the face of all of the evidence I have
seen, that that assertion is not true.

Fairbanksan to fill vacant regents seat
By Stefan Milkowski
Published May 1, 2007
JUNEAU — A Fairbanksan will fill the University of Alaska Board of Regents seat vacated
by Jim Hayes, according to a spokeswoman for Gov. Sarah Palin.
PRA GSP01 0001472
Meghan Stapleton, the spokeswoman, said Monday the governor had chosen a resident of
Fairbanks to replace Hayes , who resigned last week. Palin will announce her appointment
Thursday in Fairbanks at a Rotary International luncheon, where she was previously
scheduled to speak, Stapleton said-
Hayes, a former Fairbanks mayor, resigned Friday under pressure from the governor and
lawmakers and following a federal indictment on charges of fraud unrelated to his service
on the board of regents.
Local lawmakers have expressed concern about Fairbanks' representation on the board, which
is responsible for governing the statewide university system, and encouraged Palin to fill
the seat with someone from Fairbanks.
Stapleton did not say who was chosen.

It's possible that Governor Palin will not interview all of the nominations, rather just the top candidates;

We met this morning with Conoco and Marathon, at their request, to
discuss their application to the Department of Energy for an extension
of the current export license for Cook Inlet natural gas.
They expressed concern about the three conditions postulated by the
State in its motion to intervene. The companies cited conceptual and
practical reasons for their concern but agreed that the issues raised by
the State need to be addressed in some form.
Picking up on my previous discussions with the Department of Law, I
suggested that Conoco and Marathon request a meeting with the
11/10/2009
PRA GSP01 0001477
Page 2 of 2
Departments of Law and DNR to seek a resolution of the three conditions,
I said that the conditions represented important goals but that there
may be various ways to achieve them. I believe that the companies will
pursue this avenue.
In addition, the senior leadership of the companies wants to meet with
the Governor. I suggested that such a meeting might be most productive
after the session with DNR and Law. At that point, we will have a
better idea of what resolutions may be possible and what issues remain.
As you probably know, the companies requested an extension of the
initial deadline for public comment and intervention. The new deadline
is May 8th. My guess is that we will see opposition to some of the
motions for intervention.
After the deadline, DOE is expected to issue rulings on the motions for
intervention and also to issue a procedural order establishing the
framework for the remainder of the proceeding. Per my earlier
discussion with Daniel, I will stay in touch with DOE on the procedural
issues for the time being.
Please let me know if you need anything further from us.

>>> John Katz <jwkat2@ALASKADC.org> 5/2/2007 7:50 AM >>>
We met this morning with Conoco and Marathon, at their request, to
discuss their application to the Department of Energy for an extension
of the current export license for Cook Inlet natural gas.
They expressed concern about the three conditions postulated by the
State in its motion to intervene. The companies cited conceptual and
practical reasons for their concern but agreed that the issues raised by
the State need to be addressed in some form.
Picking up on my previous discussions with the Department of Law, I
suggested that Conoco and Marathon request a meeting with the
Departments of Law and DNR to seek a resolution of the three conditions
I said that the conditions represented important goals but that there
may be various ways to achieve them. I believe that the companies will
pursue this avenue.
In addition, the senior leadership of the companies wants to meet with
the Governor. I suggested that such a meeting might be most productive
after the session with DNR and Law. At that point, we will have a
better idea of what resolutions may be possible and what issues remain.
As you probably know, the companies requested an extension of the
PRA GSP01 0001480
initial deadline for public comment and intervention. The new deadline
is May 8th. My guess is that we will see opposition to some of the
motions for intervention.
After the deadline, DOE is expected to issue rulings on the motions for
intervention and also to issue a procedural order establishing the
framework for the remainder of the proceeding. Per my earlier
discussion with Daniel, I will stay in touch with DOE on the procedural
issues for the time being.
Please let me know if you need anything further from us.
Please note that my email address has changed. My new email address is
jwkatz@alaskadc.org. Thank you .

Mark wants to accept the position. He'd work in the Valley office a few days a week and in Anchorage two days.
His primary functions would be constituent relations (in more of an outreach capacity) and communications.
Colleen would work out of the Anchorage office. I have a mtg. w/Colleen (requested by her) tomorrow morning.
He would like to give one month notice. After which he needs to go back east for a week. So, we'd be looking at

about recruitment and retention and will be working to identify the factors
contributing to this issue. I am not yet convinced that salary is solely responsible for
the recruitment and retention pressures the State is currently facing.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AGIA Team Discusses Must-Haves & Introduces Consultants
Releases White Paper
Prepares for Producer Media Blitz
May 3, 2007, Juneau, Alaska - Members of the State's AGIA team held a press conference
today to discuss AGIA's must-haves and Introduce natural gas pipeline experts who serve as
consultants to the State of Alaska.
"Nothing in AGIA or the process of AGIA prevents the producers from developing gas this
very second/' said Governor Sarah Paiin, who is traveling today. "They are not. After 30
years, at today's projected gas prices, Alaskans deserve to have reasonable demands. The
days of low expectations are gone."
"The state's must-haves either protect Alaska's financial future, or Alaskans gas needs, or
are procedural in nature," said Department of Natural Resources Deputy Commissioner
Marty Rutherford. "We know the producers are saying 'Don't use must-haves, let us tell you
what you need.' To this day, we don't know which must-haves bother the producers. In all
of our individual meetings with them and throughout public testimony, we have never been
given the specifics of what they don't like - is it the jobs for Alaskans, gas for Alaskans,
pipeline expansion opportunities?"
The twenty must-haves stated within AGIA fall within one of three categories:
Protecting Alaska's Interests, Meeting the Needs of Alaskans, and Procedural. For the
breakdown, please see the attachment entitled: AGIA Application Requirements.
Four natural gas pipeline experts and consultants to the State of Alaska are in Juneau
answering legislator questions and providing testimony. They bring years of experience in
the natural gas pipeline business. The experts helped the AGIA team with their expertise
when AGIA was first put together and they continue to help the team to ensure that the
process is commercially reasonable.
"We have experts with us, with decades of experience in the natural gas industry in all of

PRA GSP01 0001495

North America, in particular with developments in the last 15 years where sharing the risk among
different participants is commonplace," said Department of Revenue Commissioner Patrick Galvin.
"Producers won't acknowledge or discuss these risk-sharing agreements, even though they are a
party to many of them. These natural gas pipeline experts were hired to tell us how the real world
really does work,"
The experts are: Donald Shepler, Ken Minesinger, Scott Hobbs, and Bill Sparger. Biographical
information follows:
Donald Shepler has approximately 30 years of experience in the natural gas pipeline industry as
regulatory counsel for interstate gas pipelines. He was also counsel for the Legislative Budget and
Audit Committee when that committee submitted comments and testimony to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission. That work helped the State win some significant provisions in Order 2005.
Ken Minesinger has advised various natural gas pipeline companies and other clients before the
FERC. He also is a past Chairman of the Antitrust Committee of the Energy Bar Association. Along
with Mr. Shepler, he advised the Legislative Budget and Audit Committee and authored two papers
addressing the competitive problems associated with a producer-owned Alaska pipeline. He can
speak directly to how AGIA helps solve many of those problems.
Scott Hobbs has 30 years of natural gas industry experience. Over the past six years, he has
advised investment bankers, private equity firms, and other investors evaluating major projects,
acquisitions, and divestitures involving oil and gas pipelines, processing plants, power plants, and
gas distribution assets. Prior to that, he spent 24 years in the gas pipeline industry, including eight
years as the Chief Operating Officer of a major pipeline company in the Rocky Mountain region.
Bill Sparger has more than 35 years experience in project management, design and construction of
natural gas pipelines, compressor stations, and gas processing facilities. Most recently, he worked
for Entrega Gas Pipeline Company on a large diameter natural gas pipeline project. He also
provided initial project management oversight for a proposed 1300 mile 42" pipeline from the
Cheyenne Hub to eastern Ohio. That project is moving forward today with BP and ConocoPhillips
participation.
Additionally today, the AGIA team released its "White Paper on AGIA," which lays out seven
popular claims / concerns raised by the producers. The state's AGIA team responds to each one in
the document, which is attached to this press release.
With less than two weeks left in the session, the producers have purchased a media blitz attacking
AGIA over the remaining days. The AGIA team will stand strong and committed to protecting the
state's best interests and those of Alaskans.
"While we appreciate the heads-up on the coming media blitz, it is disappointing to me that the
producers always resort to the same media campaigns time and time again," said Governor Sarah
Palin. "They will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to convince Alaskans they don't
need jobs or gas - that the producers don't need to give a timeline to the state. The bottom line is
that Alaskans own the gas. I am confident Alaskans will see through the expensive media
campaign."

Subject: National Day of Prayer
Here is the language of the proclamation, Governor. I don't think it's so bad,
considering that we have to be so darned careful about covering all the
different groups out there. For the record, you did not sign it, I'm sure it was
signed by the signature machine, most procs are. I do not know who wrote it,
but I will find out tomorrow. I hope you are having a good day in Fairbanks.
Kari.
National Day of Prayer
The Continental Congress called for a National Day of Prayer in 1775. In 1863,
Abraham Lincoln established a proclamation for a day of "humiliation, fasting,
and prayer." A joint resolution by Congress, signed by President Truman in 1952,
declared an annual, national day of prayer. And in 1988, President Ronald Reagan
set aside the first Thursday in May as the National Day of Prayer.
Following the devastating event the United States experienced on September 11,
2001, President Bush reminded us that the Congress, through Public Law 100-
307, called on citizens to reaffirm the role of prayer in our society and to honor
the religious diversity our freedom permits by recognizing this day annually.
As Governor, I recognize that the people of Alaska represent a variety of cultural
and religious traditions. I believe that each community of faith warrants the
recognition and respect of others.
It is not the intent of this proclamation to promote a particular religion, but rather
to encourage thoughtful reflection on the condition of our state and country and
to honor our freedom of religious expression whether that is prayer, alms giving,
fasting, peace activism, meditation, promotion of social justice, or another form
of contemplative action.
Let us not forget that the liberty and freedoms we enjoy are promoted and
protected by the willingness, dedication, and sacrifice of our country's military
servicemen and women.
On May 3, 2007, 1 urge you to join fellow Americans across racial, political, and
religious boundaries to observe the National Day of Prayer within your respective
communities and faith traditions.
May we be thankful for our blessings, reflect on the many needs of our state and
nation, treat our neighbors with dignity and respect, and seek moral and spiritual
renewal through the religious or spiritual expression which most closely aligns
with who we are as individuals.

Senator Lesil McGuire,
Thank-You for your time and consideration. Senator, with all due respect, i believe you have been
mislead concerning Larry Edfelt on Commercial fishing. He is not a friend of Upper Cook Inlet fishermen.
Please review his comments made at recent BOF teleconference regarding the emergency petition. He
spoke very strongly against managing this fishery according to the escapement goals prescribed in the
management plan. If you would like more info on this please feel free to contact me again at any time.
This issue is extremely important to me and I appreciate your concern. As far as balance on the BOF is
concerned, I am very worried that members appointed under the guise of a commercial fishery proponent
who then act in opposition to our needs only skew the BOF even farther away from what is fair.
Commercial fishermen in Cook Inlet have never asked for more than their fair share, only to be able to
harvest surplus stocks above escapement goals, including a sport harvest. Is that so Unreasonable?
Recent years have seen repeated overescapement to both the Kenai and Kasilof rivers simply because
the BOF has taken away the ability of trained managers to use their tools to manage. With a Cook Inlet
meeting of the BOF coming up this next winter, the importance of this issue is paramount to my livelihood.
The BOF is an extension of the Legislature and it is your prerogative to ensure integrity of that board.
Please resist confirmation of Howrd Delo and Larry Edfelt. Once again, Thank-You for your time.

Dear Joel,
I truly appreciate your letter. I am currently reviewing all of their qualifications and will add your important email
to my binder. I have many commercial fisherman contacts who believe that although they would prefer Roland
Maw, that Larry Edfelt is a good pick for commercial interests too. There is no question though, that Howard
Delo is a sports fish guy. So, what I will be looking for is balance. The commercial industry is an important part
of our economy and your livelihood matters to me a great deal.
Warmly,

Senator Lesil McGuire,
This is the first time I have written to you mostly because I reserve such action for what I believe is truly
important The issue at hand is of extreme importance to me. You soon will be faced with confirmation hearings
on three Board of Fish appointees and I have great concerns with two of these men. As you know, the Board of
Fish is to be balanced and fair. I am a commercial fisherman and am increasingly worried about a BOF that is
becoming more and more unbalanced.Two of these men lean strongly toward sport fisheries issues while
at least one would be replacing a commercial leaning member. I have voted for you in the House as well as the
Senate because I feel you are the right person for the job, and hope that you see the gravity of this issue.
Howard Delo and Larry Edfelt are poor (at best) candidates for the BOF. Please resist their confirmation. There
were some great candidates seeking those appointments ( Roland Maw and Dwight Kramer) that I wish Gov.
Palin would have supportedThank-You for your time and consideration.

We've had several phone calls from people complimenting you on your selection. Congratulations!
Jeannie Phillips from the University called also to say that most of the student regent and student commissioner
nominations called to ask when the announcement would be made for those vacancies. I let her know those
appointments would be coming soon. Besides the student regent decision, there are also two students
nominated to fill one seat on the Post Secondary Education Commission. Below is part of my observations from
my interviews with them. I've copied the information on the regents that I sent you last week also. I'm sorry this
is so much information— could be good reading for the flight : )

Larry,
There is a tentative meeting set up with Governor Palin, Mike Tibbies, the members of the Judicial Council, you,
and me on July 12 th . I will be in touch when the date becomes more firm.
What time on the 12 th could you all arrive in Juneau? This will help in finding a time to meet in the conference
room. We prefer to have a meeting where we can hear from each of the members and converse casually, rather
than have Governor Paiin stand up and give a speech. I look forward to hearing from you regarding arrival times
so I can touch base with Kari Spencer, the governor's scheduler. I will also check with Attorney General Colberg
to see if he will be in Juneau that day and can attend the meeting also.
Thanks Larry!

D\DD[HaO\[g\fc0[asHDO A SYaQDDaD[DDnHa\De that lawmakers hope will ship trillions of cubic
feet of natural gas to market.
On Thursday, Pat Galvin, the state's revenue commissioner, said the administration won't
back down.
"The producers 1 message has been clear pretty much from the first week," Galvin said.
"They say, 'let's go back to the negotiating table. The state doesn't need to bring i

competition, just come in to talk to us alone. '
"AGIA's message is clear: to set up competition by providing inducements and to establish
what the state's bottom line requirements are to be eligible for those inducements. The
producers have clearly turned up the volume . . . they don't like the (requirements) . "
Meanwhile, the appearance of Dickinson, the former Murkowski consultant, before two
committees reviewing the bill was controversial in itself for his role in backing
Murkowski' s proposed deal with the producers.
The Legislative Budget and Audit Committee, which is comprised of state senators and
representatives, hired Dickinson. The committee has routinely hired consultants to examine
a governor's gas line proposals.
Committee Chairman Rep. Ralph Samuels, R-Anchorage, said he understood the criticism that
could come with hiring Dickinson. Samuels said he made sure Dickinson has never worked for
any of the producers before making the recommendation.
"I know some people might have a problem with it," Samuels said. "But he's got
institutional knowledge."
House Finance Committee co- Chairman Mike Chenault, R-Nikiski, said there was value in
Dickinson's presentation, which also included the gas line bill's implications on the
current production tax system.
"What it did was show there is lots of ways to figure the value," Chenault said. "He put
more information out there and more information helps the process. He adds to that.
"Is he the right person, I don't know, but he's probably one of the more knowledgeable
people to talk about this issue."
Dickinson said the current administration's oil and gas economist, Antony Scott, failed to
consider a producer's financial commitment for shipping the gas in the pipeline. This cost
is called firm transportation commitment, or an FT, a term heard regularly in gas line
hearings .
Dickinson told the House and Senate finance committees how Scott's analysis potentially
inflates the financial benefits to the companies while the administration touts Palin's
Alaska Gasline Inducement Act to lawmakers.
"(Projects) need to be valued properly," Dickinson said. "When you see extraordinarily
high rates of return being suggested for this project, it may be because the cost of FT
commitments are not being properly evaluated. What I'm challenging are numbers that
suggest that it is wildly profitable."
8
PRA GSP01 0001566
Scott examined the potential value on a $20 billion pipeline project that goes from the
North Slope to Alberta, Canada. He examined returns for producers as pipeline owners and
as shippers of gas, and again as just shippers.
Three measurements of return were the net present value, which is the current value of
future profits; the rate of return; and a profitability index. Scott said his analysis
omitted no transportation costs.
"We can't come up with a situation that generates a return of under 10 percent," Scott
said in an interview Thursday. "That's a pretty powerful statement."
Neither Dickinson nor the producers, who shot down Scott's work all week, would present
their own figures to counter Scott's analysis.
"I think it's a profitable project. How profitable is certainly arguable, depending on the
assumptions," said Fred Dyson, R-Eagle River, who serves on the Senate Finance Committee.
"Everything we've seen has shown a very significant rate of return."
In the House Finance Committee hearing, Rep. Les Gara, D-Anchorage f wondered why Dickinson
didn't make these assertions when the Murkowski administration backed a proposed deal with
the producers that included a financial stake in the pipeline for Alaska.
"I guess I would have appreciated somebody telling me last year that when we were doing
the FT commitment, that was a big risk for us too," Gara said.
Dickinson said he believed lawmakers were informed.

Subject: Subsistence/Kenai - PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEY/CLIENT PRIVILEGE
As we agreed, I spoke with Senator Stevens' staff in the aftermath of our
internal discussion yesterday concerning subsistence use on the Kenai.
The staff liked the various elements we discussed - letter to the Secretary,
further advocacy at the FSB followed by possible litigation, and some sort
of rider in the appropriations process. The staff will be meeting among
themselves this afternoon to discuss these options and one other variant -
prohibiting funding to the FSB until the regulations concerning customary
trade and closures have been finalized.
The staff reiterated that the Senator is quite upset about recent FSB
decisions- Accordingly, they are not prepared as yet to rule out a simple rider
in the appropriations process that would declare the Kenai Peninsula as non-
rural for subsistence purposes,
I should also mention that the Senator has talked previously with Secretary
Kempthorne about the Kenai situation. However, for several reasons, neither
the staff nor I believe that the Secretary or Deputy Secretary is prepared to
intervene with the FSB, except perhaps to demand completion of the closure
and CT regulations that were requested much earlier.
In this regard, the Deputy Secretary is now reviewing a draft of closure
regulations submitted to her recently by the FSB. The State's comments on
earlier drafts have been provided to her.
When I know more at this end, I'll be back in touch.
Please note that my email address has changed. My new email address is

At yesterday's press conference, Steve Quinn, in the lead up to his question
on Dan Dickenson's testimony asked if it was the equivalent of "Asking
Donald Rumsfeld to come back and testify at a hearing on the war in Iraq."
The room erupted, and the press conference later ended with Bill McAllister
complaining loudly that Quinn stole his Donald Rumsfeld line.
After the presser was over, Dave Donaldson, told me he had characterized
the event to a colleague as "The Empire Strikes Back." He went on to say
that he thought it was good after the beatings we had taken from the
producers over the previous week.

Former Murkowski consultant challenges AGIA
By STEVE QUINN
Associated Press Writer
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) « Dan Dickinson, once a tax consultant to former Gov. Frank Murkowski, on Thursday challenged
the methodology used by Gov. Sarah Palin's administration to asses the potential value of a natural gas pipeline to North
Slope oil and gas producers.
Polarizing views on the project's value to the producers and what state-sponsored financial assistance is needed go to the
heart of what's kept Alaska from getting a gas line built. It's a dispute that appears to have no imminent resolution, either.
Also on Thursday, the administration fended off continuing criticism leveled at Palin's Alaska Gasline Inducement Act by
producers Exxon Mobil Corp., BP PLC and ConocoPhillips, which call the bill restrictive and lacking financial incentives.
The companies are calling for terms that reflect a proposed contract negotiated by Murkowski, which dealt strictly with the
producers and offered substantial tax benefits.
But under AGIA, producers and independent pipeline companies can vie for rights to build the pipeline that lawmakers hope
will ship trillions of cubic feet of natural gas to market.
On Thursday, Pat Galvin, the state's revenue commissioner, said the administration won't back down.
"The producers 1 message has been clear pretty much from the first week," Galvin said. "They say, 'let's go back to the
negotiating table. The state doesn't need to bring in competition, just come in to talk to us alone.'
"AGIA's message is clear: to set up competition by providing inducements and to establish what the state's bottom line

companies while the administration touts Palin's Alaska Gasline Inducement Act to lawmakers.
"(Projects) need to be valued properly," Dickinson said. "When you see extraordinarily high rates of return being suggested
for this project, it may be because the cost of FT commitments are not being properly evaluated. What I'm challenging are
numbers that suggest that it is wildly profitable."
Scott examined the potential value on a $20 billion pipeline project that goes from the North Slope to Alberta, Canada. He
examined returns for producers as pipeline owners and as shippers of gas, and again as just shippers.
Three measurements of return were the net present value, which is the current value of future profits; the rate of return; and a
profitability index. Scott said his analysis omitted no transportation costs.
"We can f t come up with a situation that generates a return of under 10 percent," Scott said in an interview Thursday. "That's a
pretty powerful statement,"
Neither Dickinson nor the producers, who shot down Scott's work all week, would present their own figures to counter Scott's
analysis.
"I think it's a profitable project. How profitable is certainly arguable, depending on the assumptions," said Fred Dyson, R-
Eagle River, who serves on the Senate Finance Committee. "Everything we've seen has shown a very significant rate of
return."
In the House Finance Committee hearing, Rep, Les Gara, D- Anchorage, wondered why Dickinson didn't make these
assertions when the Murkowski administration backed a proposed deal with the producers that included a financial stake in
the pipeline for Alaska.
"I guess I would have appreciated somebody telling me last year that when we were doing the FT commitment, that was a big
risk for us too," Gara said.
Dickinson said he believed lawmakers were informed.

Governor and Commissioner: the proc in question was written by the faith-based Initiative group and run through
many people in our office-I believe the idea is to have a super careful "wording" in the actual document, but the
speaker (which had the Governor been here would have been perfect of course) can add words like God and Jesus or
Father or whatever the speaker feels from the heart. Please see the emails I've attached which reflect thought and

Michelle,
I should first say that this unlike many proclamations may be a controversial one and should be handled with care and
mindfulness. I recommend that multiple eyes look this over before it is signed.
This day is not one that is welcomed by Americans United for Separation of Church and State and similar groups that see it
as a violation of the First Amendment. There are many sites that are dedicated to picking apart both the President's and many
Governors' proclamations for the National Day of Prayer as well as the National Day of Prayer Task Force.
That said I believe it can be worded in a way that decreases the potential for offending any one faith or political affiliation.
IVe attached a draft that you are free to add to, change, or completely scrap.
I'd be happy to help with anything else you might need. Two other resources would be Stephanie Wheeler our Executive
Director and Michael Curran our Program Coordinator (and former Episcopal Priest).

Governor Palin:
As you have solicited my advice in the past on matters affecting the bar and bench, I'm
1
PRA GSP01 0001583
hoping that you will consider the following information in your consideration of
applicants for the Fairbanks Superior Court judgeship.
As you know, I've seen the practice of law from both sides of the bench. As a former
judge, government attorney, and private practice attorney, I have a good sense of the type
of qualities Alaska needs in its judges. I share your perspective that this state
requires judicial officers who will properly and fairly interpret our laws and
constitution, free of ideological baggage. I also share your conviction that individuals
entrusted to official positions must be committed to the highest levels of integrity.
You have before you what may appear, at first blush, a difficult decision for the
Fairbanks bench. The Alaska Bar Association poll has resulted in a number of candidates
with fairly high scores. From my professional and personal perspective, however, there is
one candidate that stands out amongst the rest: Michael MacDonald.
As both a judge and attorney, I've had the pleasure of working with Mike. He is marked by
a strong moral compass and a rock- solid dose of common sense, qualities often lacking in
my profession. Not only is he an individual of integrity, he is also committed to the
betterment of his community. For example, Mike recently received statewide recognition
for providing free legal assistance to the elderly and disabled in Fairbanks.
He is also active with the youth of our community in scouting, little league baseball,
youth choir, and other activities. And it is fair to say that Mike is what makes
Fairbanks hockey happen: he is involved in numerous youth hockey programs (including a
girls' high school hockey program), serves as Alaska Hockey's Associate Coach in Chief for
the Northern Region, is the Arctic Lion's Vice President for Player Development, serves as
an advisory committee member for the Fairbanks Ice Dogs, and is a director for the
Fairbanks Hockey Hall of Fame.
In addition to this volunteerism, Mike's experience also sets him apart from the other
candidates for the Fairbanks Superior Court . In contrast to the other candidates, Mike
has a recent, varied, and extensive criminal and civil practice. This diversity of
experience is particularly critical in Fairbanks where our superior court judges are
burdened by an ever- increasing number of cases. By appointing Mike to the bench, you will
provide Fairbanks with a judicial officer who can "hit the ground running" and help clear
the back log of cases that are clogging the system.
PRA GSP01 0001584
Finally, I should also mention what may already be obvious from what you've read: Mike is
a very bright guy. Despite the fact that he graduated from Harvard, Mike consistently
demonstrates clear thinking even in complex litigation.
In short, Fairbanks desperately needs a smart, hard working, common sense person like Mike
on the bench.
If you have any questions about this recommendation, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Joe

Subject: GUEST LIST QUESTION- Friends of the Governor's Mansion Foundation Fundraiser,
May 9th, 2007 at the Residence
Hello Governor and Mr. Palin,
PRA GSP01 0001592
The list of lobbyists for the Friends of the Governor's Mansion Foundation Fundraiser are
listed below for your review/approval. I've also attached the 2007 Lobbyist Directory in
case you wanted the client/employer information. Please let me know if you'd like to make
any changes or have any additional guests that you'd like to include.
F.Y.I. - The Foundation pays for the food, beverage, and staff over time expenses, so thai
it's not an expense that the House incurs . I have a copy of a memorandum from the
Department of Law from March 14, 2005 where the question was asked if there would be any
Executive Ethics Act (AS 39.52) or other legal concerns presented if the foundation held <
fundraiser at the Governor's Mansion and the conclusion (was that the First Lady
(Gentleman in this case) is not a "public official" under the Ethics Act, the strictures
of the Act do not apply to her/him. The Governor may also host fundraising activities at
the residence, and he may freely invite guests and host functions as he/she deems proper.
Of course, there is much more information, and this is paraphrased, but I wanted you to
be aware of some of the issues that have been addressed. I could fax a copy to you if
you'd like.
If at all possible, it would be great to have the final guest list as soon as possible, as
May 9th is quickly approaching.
Thank you,

FYI, on Ethics, Lyda told me that they were moving your bill over to
the House. She had given up on trying to get credit for Hollis French,
House leveraged it that way, though I believe Gene Therriault had some

Sorry I missed your call - I was on the line with Todd. The AGIA members are:
House - Ralph Samuels, Mike Chenault, Mike Kelly, Reggie Joule
Senate - Charlie Huggins, Bert Stedman, Lyman Hoffman
Regarding AML -
I tried and he was unresponsive. He said that last year they were asked as a group to
support Murkowski's plan and they debated hard and it divided their group. They were not
able to come to any conclusion. Ray did not think the group wanted to go through that
again. He would not recognize that we are presenting a different plan at a different time
with different players.

Governor :
I talked with Mark Campbell who was in Wasilla when Colleen Sullivan-Leonard read the
proclamation there. He said pastors in Palmer did not read it because of the passages I
conveyed to you in a different email. He had already surmised that you had not seen the
proclamation and said he would convey that message to the Palmer pastors. Your presence
at the Unity Sunday service was key in folks being comfortable with this explanation. He
said they came away confident that it would be rewritten for next year. I said I was sure
it would.

Subject: GUEST LIST QUESTION- Friends of the Governor's Mansion Foundation Fundraiser,
May 9th, 2007 at the Residence
Hello Governor and Mr. Palin,
The list of lobbyists for the Friends of the Governor's Mansion Foundation Fundraiser are
listed below for your review/ approval. I've also attached the 2007 Lobbyist Directory in
case you wanted the client /employer information. Please let me know if you'd like to make
any changes or have any additional guests that you'd like to include.
F.Y.I. - The Foundation pays for the food, beverage, and staff over time expenses, so that
it's not an expense that the House incurs, I have a copy of a memorandum from the
Department of Law from March 14, 2005 where the question was asked if there would be any
Executive Ethics Act (AS 39.52) or other legal concerns presented if the foundation held a
fundraiser at the Governor' s Mansion and the conclusion (was that the First Lady
PRA GSP01 0001626
(Gentleman in this case) is not a "public official" under the Ethics Act, the strictures
of the Act do not apply to her/him. The Governor may also host fundraising activities at
the residence, and he may freely invite guests and host functions as he/she deems proper.
Of course, there is much more information, and this is paraphrased, but I wanted you to
be aware of some of the issues that have been addressed. I could fax a copy to you if
you'd like.
If at all possible, it would be great to have the final guest list as soon as possible, as
May 9th is quickly approaching.
Thank you,

Holy cow!
I didn't know the Governor was going to be back in town for the following event. I hope she's loosening up her arm!
Ronald Reagan would practice pitches for days before throwing the first pitch at a baseball game.
Pete used this as a cute kicker for his newscast this morning ...
JPalin to throw out first ball at opening of Juneau little league play
Tomorrow [Saturday] is opening day for the Gastineau Channel Little League's 56th season.
League President Sheldon Winters says Governor Palin is slated to throw out the first pitch.
Winters says they hear the Governor Palin is quite the athlete-
He says they don't know if she's going to bring the heat or how wild she'll be . They'll just have
to wait and see.
12 year-old Ryan Kelly is scheduled catch the first pitch-
Ryan has played in the league since he was 6 years-old.
Winters says they've told Ryan exactly what he's suppose to do, "He's going to make
Governor Palin look really good/' according to Winters,
They'll be something new this year for opening day.
The teams will march around the field and be introduced along with their sponsors.
There are 52 teams in 11 different divisions with nearly 700 players, ages 5 to 16 years-old
This year's opening day theme is "Honoring our Volunteers."
All past and present volunteers, sponsors, parents, players and the public at large are invited to attend.
Coffee, doughnuts and food will be available, as well as the sale of excess uniforms, surplus equipment
and new Gastineau Channel Little League logo apparel.
Opening day ceremonies get started at 10 a.m. at Adair-Kennedy Park.
Opening day games will start at 1 p.m. at most of the area ball fields.

Former state legislators Pete Kott and Bruce Weyhrauch have been indicted by a federal grand jury
on several counts of extortion, bribery, wire fraud and mail fraud.
Some of the charges involve the Legislature's consideration last year of a petroleum production tax
proposed by former Gov. Frank Murkowski. Kott, a former House speaker from Eagle River, and
Weyhrauch, of Juneau, both Republicans, are accused of accepting bribes to push positions favored
by executives of a company that is not named in the indictment.
Kott lost his Eagle River seat \n the state House in last year's Republican primary. Weyhrauch, an
attorney, did not seek re-election to his House seat representing Juneau. Both were among the six
lawmakers whose offices were raided by federal agents last August as part of an investigation into
corruption.
Kott is scheduled to be arraigned in Juneau at 1:30 p.m. today.

The interview was excellent. She said that the means by which the PPT percentage was
established neededyo be revisited by both the legis and the administration. She did not
say outright that was inherently suspect, but that it should be revisited. When asked if
yesterday 's events affected AGIA, she said that this "sad day for the state" ought not be
used as a form of political expediency to advance this distinct piece of legislation.
However, she continued, one could not help but recognize how AGIA distinguishes itself as
a truly open and transparent process.

Erika - would have the Govs Mansion's alcohol that's in the liquor cabinet boxed up and
removed from "the People's House" downstairs in the public dining area? Here's my
thinking: with so many kids and teens coming and going in that house, esp during this
season of celebrationstt for young people - proms, graduations, etc, I want to send the
msg that we can be - and "the People 1 s House" needs to be - alcohol-free. There 1 s a lot of
boose there - its too accessible and may be too tempting to any number of all those teens
coming and going.
We need to send this sobriety msg. It can be sent via support from Native Sobriety Assns,

support that I can provide them through this action, then I'll do it.

I still need the following to get the Council going: contact info for Todd so we can discuss scheduling of
meeting times/places; a list of the people who have been asked to serve on the Council (along with their
contact info); and an updated list of all those who applied for the Council so they can be contacted to
provide input and/or serve on sub-committees. I'm hearing rumors about who was appointed and that a
press release is imminent, but I don't have the final list of members with contact info - and have nothing
other than names for a couple of the Fairbanks and Wasilla members.

FYI, the department will be launching a Health Council website to provide internet access to info on
meetings of the Council, opportunities for public input, and ongoing work by the Council. Our plan is to
have links on both the Governor's website and the department website to ensure stakeholders can find it

Thanks for all your work on this Council. I look forward to receiving the information needed to get the

I know it was drafted closely to how the national day of prayer proclamation

that may have been Stephanie Wheeler. I believe they were trying to be

I talked with Mark Campbell who was in Wasilla when Colleen Sullivan -Leonard

because of the passages I conveyed to you in a different email. He had
already surmised that you had not seen the proclamation and said he would

said they came away confident that it would be rewritten for next year. I

After the Governor's Prayer Breakfast, and your statements there (which I

Day of Prayer gathering), the proclamation was almost embarrassing. ±i% I am

This is a fabulous idea! I think if we shoot this from the perspective that
the Governor has suggested (people ! s house - especially with teens in and
out on a daily basis - should be alcohol free; Governor is setting the
example for parents and families across the state to take a stand on this
issues, etc), a video message of the alcohol being boxed up and removed can
be used by many groups. It might even make the most sense to have it run as
a PSA focused on prom and graduation safety issues for families. I'd hate
to tie it to any one group, board, division, or department when it's an
issue for all Alaskans.
Great work, Governor I Let me know how I can help.

Here are a few things I came up with last night, although I know you and the writing crew
already have some things in mind. Please feel free to pick and choose what may or may not
work in your speech. It was great to sit down and write again. Whatever you say,
Alaskans will be inspired by your message. This is your subject matter. These are the
things you've been saying for years. These are just a few of the reasons I wholeheartedly
support you and am honored to be a part of your administration. Keep up the great work,
governor. Alaskans are proud of their leader. PS—I couldn't remember the exact biblical
phase you mentioned, but I had "everything is fine" in mind when I wrote it.
You're awesome.

regarding the guilty pleas from VECO executives in federal court this morning:
'To have this truth now, to know that some Alaskans willingly and knowingly participated and

panic again to rearrange so I could make my obligation to the people in skagway who were
waiting for me - and the plane's tire was discovered low at the very last minute -
reminded me of the recent Nome trip where problems were not discovered until we were
taxiing - and does anyone know if the king air will be here so I return on it or should I
look for a commercial seat to get back to Juneau?
It feels like there are forces constantly against us in trying to travel on the state, s

straight to commercial air arrangements each time I travel.

I think she should take them to town. Call them out the way she did Randy. Damn, I would love to talk
to you about this. She has to step up and be the leader now. She's the principal of capitol high and the
football team did something wrong. What does the principal do? She calls and assembly and she reads
them the riot act, the whole group is tainted by the actions of the people who actually did something
wrong because they all play for the same team, they are all members of what is now, in the eyes of the
people, a corrupt legislature. So she lets them all have it and then she does what every good parent
would do, she gives them a chance to redeem themselves. The ethics bill is a good chance. Giving the
inditees the chance to resign before they are pulled out of office and further embarass themselves, their
office, and the state is another.
At some point soon she is going to have to start talking. This is her chance to take charge, but if you ask
me I would say she has to hold a hard line. If she goes in there with sympathy for them she is never
going to take control of the situation. I think the people are pissed and disgusted with the legislature, is
she lets them off they will be just as disgusted with her.
Ok. Sorry if that is a bit of a rant. If you want an opinion from one of those people who didn't vote for
your boss, but has come around to be part of that 90+ percent of people who think she's on the right
track don't hesitate to ask me. I really want her to succeed. I think she is the right person for this job
right now.

Hello,
This Thursday at 2:00pm. the House will switch over to the new Cisco IP phones. These are the same phones
used in the Anchorage offices, but we're the first location in Juneau to have them installed, i think we will also
have wireless capabilities for the computers on Thursday.
Where would you like the wireless phone (only 1) upstairs? If I don't hear back 111 put it in the master bedroom.
Most of the intercom numbers will stay the same, but you'll have a new list on the phones, i can run through the
basics of the "how tos" with the girls and make a cheat sheet to leave by the phones. There's also a hand out that
will be under the phones.
Finally, the House will have decent phones instead of ones that are one step above the rotary dial!

things in mind. Please feel free to pick and choose what may or may not work in your speech. It was great to sit
down and write again. Whatever you say, Alaskans will be inspired by your message. This is your subject
matter. These are the things you've been saying for years. These are just a few of the reasons I wholeheartedly
support you and am honored to be a part of your administration. Keep up the great work, governor. Alaskans are
proud of their leader. PS— I couldn't remember the exact biblical phase you mentioned, but I had "everything is
fine" in mind when I wrote it.
You're awesome.
Ivy

Subject: Student Regent and Student Commissioner
Governor Palin,
Do you want to name the Student Regent and Student Commissioner on the same day? As we discussed,
Privileged or Pd is th e top candidate for Student Regent. Below are the two names sent forward for ACPE. I
think [Privileged or Fj is the better candidate. If you want more time on Stud ent Commissioner, we can still get the
Regent appointment out the door. I could have fprivileged or Pers o nal Mal come up to the office tomorrow for a
few minutes so you can congratulate him OR I could just contact him myself and send the draft press release
information to Meg.
Thanks guys,
Ivy

Dear Governor Palin,
My daughter, Julie M. Halvorsen, is a flight attendant with Alaska Airlines. She informed
me that during
the campaign season she had met you twice on flights of hers. She also informed me that
she, and her
husband Kevin, had watched you on telvision during the debates and they both liked your
ideas, especially
those on education, very much.
My husband and 1 will be coming to Alaska during the third week of June. It will be our
first trip. I
am not very much of an outdoor kind of girl. However, I am very interested in good

government , having
served on a Board of Education and a Charter Revision Commission, as well as having
graduated both Julie,
and her older sister Jenny, from homeschool.
Would it be possible for me to meet you? Do you have any set time when you meet the
public? Would I
need to schedule a particular time or would you have just a moment for me to have my
picture taken with
you whenever we make it down to Juneau?
I realize that you are a very busy woman and I can tell from having watched your
inauguration speech on
C-Span, that you are a very focused and dedicated woman. I would not expect you to take
any time to
discuss the multiple issues of education or politics. I would just like to be able to have
a picture to
show my boss, Atty. Dean Kilbourne, who happens to be the Democratic Town Committee
Chairman in Bristol,
CT. As a fellow Republican, it would bring me great delight!
Sincerely,
Pattie DeHuff

Erika - would have the Govs Mansion's alcohol that's in the liquor cabinet boxed up and
removed from "the People's House" downstairs in the public dining area? Here's my
thinking: with so many kids and teens coming and going in that house, esp during this
season of celebrationstt for young people - proms, graduations, etc, I want to send the
msg that we can be - and "the People's House" needs to be - alcohol-free. There's a lot of
booze there - its too accessible and may be too tempting to any number of all those teens
coming and going.
We need to send this sobriety msg. It can be sent via support from Native Sobriety Assns,
M. A. D, D. , Healthcare Strategies Council, or whomever can also benefit from the vocal
support that I can provide them through this action, then I'll do it.

A governor has up to 30 days to fill a vacancy in the legislature after a lawmaker leaves office
before finishing his or her term. She must pick someone of the same party as the departing
lawmaker.
The political party from the departing lawmaker's district may give the governor a list of
nominees.
The governor may choose from that list.
The governor must calf a special election to fill a vacant senate seat for an unexpired senate
term of more than two years and five months.
I've highlighted the appropriate constitutional and statutory references below.
I've asked the Department of Law to provide a better and more definitive response to this
matter. As soon as I get one, I'll send it to you.

Alaska Constitution, Article II, Section 4 - Vacancies.
A vacancy in the legislature shall be filled for the unexpired term as provided by law. If no
provision is made, the governor shall fill the vacancy by appointment.
Alaska Statute
Sec. 15.40.320. Condition and time for filling vacancy by appointment.
When a vacancy occurs in the state legislature, the governor within 30 davs. shall appoint a

qualified person to fill the vacancy. However, if the remainder of the term of the predecessor in office
will expire or if a vacancy in the state senate will be filled by a special election before the legislature will
next meet, convene, or reconvene, the governor may not fill the vacancy.
Sec. 15.40.330. Qualification and confirmation of appointee.
■(a) The appointee shall meet the qualifications of a member of the legislature as prescribed in
Sec, 2, art. II of the state constitution, shall be a member of the same political party as that which
nominated the predecessor In office , and shall be subject to confirmation by a majority of the
members of the legislature who are members of the same political party which nominated the
predecessor in office and of the same house as was the predecessor in office . If the predecessor
in office was not nominated by a political party or if no other member of the predecessors political party
is a member of the predecessor's house of the legislature, the governor may appoint any qualified
person. If the appointee is not a member of a political party, the appointment is not subject to
confirmation. If the appointee is a member of a political party, the appointment is subject to confirmation
as provided by this section for the confirmation of political party appointees.
(b) A member of a political party is a person who supports the political program of a party. The
filing for office of a candidate as an independent or no-party candidate does not preclude a candidate
from being a member of a political party. Recognition of an independent or no-party candidate as a
member of a party caucus of members of the legislature at the legislative session following the election
of the independent or no-party candidate is recognition of that person's party membership at the time
filings were made by party candidates for the preceding general election.
Sec. 15.40.360. Term of appointed representative.
If the vacancy is in the state house of representatives, the appointment shall be for the remainder of the
unexpired term.
Sec. 15.40.370. Conditions for full, unexpired term senate appointment.
If the vacancy is for an unexpired senate term of two years plus five full calendar months or less, the
appointment shall be for the remainder of the unexpired term.
Sec. 15.40.380. Conditions for part-term senate appointment and special election.
If the vacancy is for an unexpired senate term of more than two years and five full calendar
months, the governor shall call a special election bv proclamation and the appointment shall
expire on the date the state senate first convenes or reconvenes following the certification of the
results of the special election bv the director.
Sec. 15.40.460. Selection of political party nominees.
The nominees of political parties mav be selected by the respective party district committee or
bv anv other manner as provided bv the party bylaws, and the petition shall be signed bv the

MESSAGE :
Distinguished Western Governors,
By now you will all know my plan for having the Western Governors Assn take over
operational control of
the US Forest Service from the USDA.
A big step in that direction would be the Disaster Relief proposal I have for the WGA for
Greensburg,
Kansas .
The idea here is that the WGA would sponsor a three-week recycling program for Greensburg
in which the
WGA would set up a compound for 400 able-bodied locals to work 18, ten hours days at $12
per hour, paid
in the hand at the end of every day, to recycle all wood, metal, paper & glass.
The WGA would set up a compound consisting of one, big Renaissance- type tent which would
1
PRA GSP01 0001730
be used as a
dining hall for the workers, plus a number of smaller tents with cots, as dorms for the
workers, plus
toilets, showers. , .plus flat beds & skips... so that at the end of three weeks, all
Greensburg would be as
neat as a pin.
The performance of FEMA, suffering without the leadership of Yours truly, an American
Original, can be
expected to be as lackluster as it previous effort in New Orleans. The WGA has a Golden
Opportunity to
put itself on the map here. "It's an ill wind that blows no good", as the saying goes..
I urge all of the Governors of the WGA to get in touch with the organization. . .& not let
this town of a
member state go the way of New Orleans.
Regards, David Yuhas, Boulder, Colorado
p.s. Let it be noted, just as I have contended, that the Kansas National Guard. . .with its
flatbeds,
other trucks & humvees are now in short supply being currently out of the country.

Dear Governor Palin:
I have just read Bill Allen's Plea Agreement and the Factual Basis for Plea and I have just re-read your press

some Alaskans willingly and knowingly participated and encouraged this corrupt behavior is disgusting." Thank-
you for giving voice to Alaskans who are appalled by the recent disclosures.
As Alaskans, we have some tough times ahead as ramifications from these disclosures become clearer, but I know
you and your team will be working hard on our behalf. Thank-you.

Governor:
Just a little more information about tomorrow:
After you introduce each winner of the Denali Peak Performance Awards (4 individual and one
team); they've been advised that they can offer short remarks. I just wanted to be sure you
were aware of that. So, for instance after you give your opening remarks and then announce
Kathy Perham-Hester, Public Health Specialist as the winner of the Co-Worker Award - HI
hand her the award since she'll be in ANC - we need to pause as I ask her if she wants to say
anything. The next award - Irene Ferguson/Sitka will be in Juneau with you, and you'll be able

Boundary commission makeup shifts
Staff Report
Published May 9, 2007
The faces are changing at the state's Local Boundary Commission.
Chairman Darroll Hargraves announced last week that he will step down from the
commission this summer. The news follows the April resignation of Tony Nakazawa,
who until last month represented the state's Fourth Judicial District — which includes
Fairbanks — for four years on the commission.
The Local Boundary Commission considers proposals to create, or alter the boundaries
of, municipal governments.
Hargraves, a Wasilla resident, is leaving in order to "seek new business opportunities
and political options that may be available to me in coming months,"
Nakazawa left the commission April 30. A former director of the University of Alaska
Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service, he is in the process of moving to southcentral
Alaska to take a post at the UAF Palmer Research and Extension Center.
Nakazawa said the commission and its staff have a difficult job. "We're fortunate to
have those people, the ones that have served before and the ones that will come in the
future,"

no problem - and let me ask Meg if she feels we need more ammo in final days.
FYI I just told NewsMiner that I'd have to veto AGIA if it got "gutted" and the "shalls" were
turned into "mays" before the legislation was adopted... because then AGIA would do us no good
- it would not have parameters, it would lead to futility as the last negotiations led to, and it
wouldn't be fair to AK nor to applicants... too much "discretion" (ie potentially undue influence)
could play too big a factor in selection process if we don't have must-have requirements and rules

Alliance Juneau Update

SB104(AGIA)
• Senate Finance reviewed a proposed committee substitute (CS) for SB-104, the
Senate version of AGIA. Changes were mostly made by the administration.
• Most of the administration's changes in SB-104 were technical, but one includes
a shortening of the performance deadline. Project sanctioning by a licensee
11/10/2009
PRA GSP01 0001756
Page 2 of 3
lacking sufficient financing must be complete in five years from the time of an open
season rather than five years from receiving a FERC certificate .
• The draft defines "sanction" as a firm commitment of at least $1 billion to the project.
• Language was included that a 300% penalty to the state for assisting a "competing"
project is the maximum compensation a licensee would receive. In other words, a
licensee, by accepting the treble damages, would be prevented from suing the State of
Alaska for additional damages.
Informal AGIA working group
• Press reports that the informal AGIA committee, comprised of House and Senate
members, have been disbanded are untrue. Legislators involved in the effort say
discussions between the working group and the Administration continue.
• Representing the legislature on the working group discussing AGIA fixes with the
administration are Sens. Charlie Huggins, BertStedman and Lyman Hoffman and Reps.
Ralph Samuels, Mike Chenault, Mike Kelly and Reggie Joule.
• Focus of the discussions is changes aimed at increasing competition in the bidding
process. Many legislators are concerned that prescriptive bidding requirements in the
current drafts of the two bills could result in as few as two applications for the state
license: MidAmerican and the Alaska Gasline Port Authority.
• Another concern has been the provision restricting the proposed state pipeline
coordinator's services to streamline the permitting process to the state license holder at
the possible expense of a competing project. Revenue Commissioner Pat Galvin told
Senate Finance there's nothing in the bill that would prohibit the legislature from
establishing another pipeline coordinator position to expedite competing projects.
Special session?
• A special session to review and potentially revise the Petroleum Profits Tax (PPT) is likely
in early fall. Fifteen House Democrats sent a letter to Gov. Palin yesterday asking for the
session in the wake of reports that some votes on the bill, as it was enacted last year,
were influenced illegally. Palin replied she is favorable of the idea.
• The 2006 special sessions that produced the PPT were contentious and highly-charged.
A 2007 special session reviewing the law is likely to be the same.
• Adoption of the PPT to replace the former gross profits-based calculation for production
taxes yielded nearly $900 million in additional state revenues in FY 2007, and it was the
largest tax increase in state history. It's unclear whether legislators will seek to refund the
additional monies resulting from PPT, which they are now in the process of spending.
• The two AGIA bills could move out of their respective Finance committees as early as
today, with floor action to follow. Unlike other recent high-profile legislation, the AGIA bills
aren't expected to trigger a floor fight in either body.

We debriefed a bit and the group will do a pre-planning event for the next one next year.

Hello Governor,
First of all- thanks for adding so much fun to the fundraiser with the stories from Dennis Egan and the
Gruenings. That was perfect!
Just to clarify — so I know we're on the same page.
The House will be alcohol-free almost... We will need champagne for some celebrations (could be locked in
basement closet). In the kitchenette fridge (2 nd . floor) there will only be a small bottle of wine (or 2) and a few
beers.
With such a small amount it will be very easy to keep an eye on things. We will just make purchases on an as
needed basis, so we won't have the huge inventory and the temptation.
If I don't hear back I'll assume that I got it right!
Enjoy Cordova!

Everyone on our end so appreciated the event. Sorry we ended up having technical
difficulties - the crew did two run throughs ahead of time. You sounded great,
despite your cold and everyone in ANC enjoyed the recognition and the fact that you
were there.
We debriefed a bit and the group will do a pre-planning event for the next one next
year. Sorry it was so crowded in the conference room, but we were led to believe a
smaller crowd would be there and didn't know the other commissioners would be
there.
All in all, folks seemed to think it went very well. Hope you were happy with it, too.

Boundary commission makeup shifts
Staff Report
Published May 9, 2007
The faces are changing at the state's Local Boundary Commission.
Chairman Darroll Hargraves announced last week that he will step down from the commission this
summer. The news follows the April resignation of Tony Nakazawa, who until last month represented
the state's Fourth Judicial District — which includes Fairbanks — for four years on the commission.
The Local Boundary Commission considers proposals to create, or alter the boundaries of, municipal
governments.
Hargraves, a Wasilla resident, is leaving in order to "seek new business opportunities and political
options that may be available to me in coming months."
Nakazawa left the commission April 30. A former director of the University of Alaska Fairbanks
Cooperative Extension Service, he is in the process of moving to southcentral Alaska to take a post at
the UAF Palmer Research and Extension Center.
Nakazawa said the commission and its staff have a difficult job. "We're fortunate to have those people,
the ones that have served before and the ones that will come in the future."

Hi Kari,
Just a quick note to pass on to the Governor.
Palmer City Council passed an AGIA resolution last night This was brought forward by Mayor
Combs and well supported by all.
Mat-Su Assembly passed an AGIA resolution last night too with a few minor amendments. This
was of course brought forward by Mayor Menard and Assembly member Cindy Bettine.
Michael A. Carson says pass AGIA and the Ethics Bill!
Roscoe Wilke says stick to your guns, pass AGIA!
Thanks and have a good day!

manipulate the profits obtainable from our resources in favor of Veco and other Oil
giants. The whole dirty mess is now in open view. Governor Palin, you are the
Governor of this state. Please take the following action.
1 . Cancel the Veco Corporation's business license.
2. Watch for and do not allow the officers of the Veco corporation to reconstitute
themselves under a new business name.
3. Cancel the Anchorage Times business license. They dance the Veco Waltz.
4. Cancel Oil and Gas lease agreements with Exxon.
5. Confiscate all Exxon property here in Alaska in payment for the Valdez oil spill
unpaid fine.
6. Do not allow Exxon to participate in any way in the Gas pipeline deal.
7. Do not allow BP to claim tax relief on the oil pipeline repairs. It should have
maintained the line in good condition.
8. Our laws did not protect us from BP's pipeline spill, the Valdez oil spill or from
Exxon's refusal to pay the oil spill fine,
Dare we now risk the Pebble project? Your call or let Alaskans be the judge.

As a replacement for Wien, I would highly recommend Tom George, Aircraft Owners and Pilots
Assoc, representative for Alaska.
He has attended virtually every meeting since the board's creation, and has contributed
more than most members. Because of big changes that are imminent in federal rules and
fees regarding general aviation (which will have huge impact on Alaska), Tom's service on
the board would be very important.
PRA GSP01 0001782
His telephone is 455-9000 in Fairbanks.
I have heard that Paul Landis is a name being considered for chair. He would execute
those duties very well .
Should another opening occur, I would be happy to serve on this Board.
As a side note, it would be very politic for the Governor drop in at the next Board
meeting to thank Wien for his service. Probably need to suggest to Torgerson that the
next meeting be held in Fairbanks. He was the prime mover behind the Board's creation.
If you have any questions, please call me at 382-0219

Here is an email I received from Kip re: Aviation Advisory.
The four seats being considered are:
Jim Dodson, rep for City and Borough of FBX
Tom George, AK Airman's Assoc Rep (applying for seat vacated by Felix Maguire, he's endorsed by Kip, Paul
Landis, and has stopped by the office a few times)
Bob Jacobsen, Regional Air Carrier (we've discussed re-appt, he had an event iastfall at Wings)
Jack Barber, Public Member (appt last month)
I'm curious if we are going to re-appoint Jim Dodson, appoint Tom George, and designate Paul Landis as chair?
These terms expired in March.

As a replacement for Wlen, I would highly recommend Tom George, Aircraft Owners and Pilots Assoc,
representative for Alaska.
He has attended virtually every meeting since the board's creation, and has contributed more than most
members. Because of big changes that are imminent in federal rules and fees regarding general aviation (which
will have huge impact on Alaska), Tom's service on the board would be very important
His telephone is 455-9000 in Fairbanks.
I have heard that Paul Landis is a name being considered for chair. He would execute those duties very well.
Should another opening occur, I would be happy to serve on this Board.
As a side note, it would be very politic for the Governor drop in at the next Board meeting to thank Wien for his
service. Probably need to suggest to Torgerson that the next meeting be held in Fairbanks. He was the prime
mover behind the Board's creation.
If you have any questions, please call me at 382-0219.

Subject: Cabinet questions re APOC electronic filing
Governor:
In the last Cabinet meeting I promised I would get back to you on why we need $350,000 for
the electronic filing of disclosure statements. You said you had not a problem filing your
reports during your last campaign and wondered exactly why we need the additional funds
and what cost savings might be achieved if APOC no longer has to key in information on these
reports.
In 2003, APOC requested funding to only handle the Campaign Disclosure information
electronically. When I was appointed and reviewing APOC's request for $350,000 of additional
money for this year, I asked for a status update on the previous appropriation. Basically,
there's little to show for it. We will aggressively manage this project if the funding is
maintained in the budget. It needs to be done, I know you want it done so that the public can
see who contributes to whom and "follow the money."
The current system will not survive another election year, and it's an imperfect system that
only addresses one piece of the reporting requirements. If the system is not updated, APOC
will revert to a paper-oniy agency. Information currently available to users on the APOC
WebPages would not be updated. This would not be in keeping with your philosophy of open
government
In terms of savings, Campaign Disclosure Statements range from one page (such as a
registration statement, or an exemption statement) to 500 pages (such as a report by a
gubernatorial candidate.) In many cases the quality of the handwriting is very poor, so each
page takes longer to enter. In an election year, Brooke Miles, APOC Executive Director,
estimates that 65% of the personal services resources of APOC ($660.4 FY 07) are expended
in the data entry process.
Of course, there is other work APOC does, which is unrelated to the automation of these
reports including investigating complaints and providing training.
As you are likely aware, HB 109 has been amended to require APOC to scan in handwritten
information so that the public sees it timely. (Sec. 9. AS 15.13.040 is amended by adding anew
subsection to read:
(p) Information required by this chapter that is submitted to the commission on paper and not
electronically shall be electronically scanned and published on the Internet by the commission, in a
format accessible to the general public, within two working days after the commission receives the
information.

Subject: Division of Ag
Frustrated agriculture boss quits
LARRY DEVILBISS: Lack of direction on key projects prompts resignation, he says.
By S J. KOMARNITSKY
Anchorage Daily News
Published: May 10, 2007
Last Modified: May 10, 2007 at 04:17 AM
WASILLA - Larry DeVilbiss, director of the state Division of Agriculture, is resigning after a iitde
more than two years on the job.
DeVilbiss said he was frustrated with Gov. Sarah Palin's administration's lack of direction on key
agriculture topics such as the state's ailing dairy industry and a state-run meat plant.
He also said he knew he was likely to be replaced soon and wanted to leave now to take care of his own
farming projects. DeVilbiss owns a Palmer-area farm where he raises beef and carrots.
"It was becoming obvious that if the governor intended to confirm me, she would have done it, 1 ' he said.
I've got to put up hay and make a living."
ttTI
His last day on the job is May 3 1 , he said.
DeVilbiss, a former Matanuska-Susitna Borough assemblyman who also serves on the borough School
Board and on the Matanuska Electric Association board of directors, was appointed agriculture director
in February 2005 by then-Gov. Frank Murkowski.
As head of the agency charged with oversight of agriculture in Alaska, he earns $85,700 annually to
oversee a staff of about 50, an annual budget of about $7 million and myriad programs from promotion
of the Alaska Grown logo to a state seed-potato program.
During his administration, he was criticized by some fanners for his efforts to privatize the state-owned
Mt. McKinley Meat and Sausage Plant and his support of a state lawsuit against a farming group over
the use of the Alaska Grown logo.
Members of the Mat-Su chapter of the Alaska Farm Bureau - the defendant in the state's lawsuit — were
particularly critical, labeling him anti-farmer,
DeVilbiss said he was trying to do what he believed was best for the industry, which included
privatization.
8/31/2009
PRA GSP01 0001803
Page 2 of 2
While he was unable to resolve many outstanding issues in his two years in office, DeVilbiss said he
thought he at least moved the discussion forward on topics like privatizing the meat plant and, more
recently, possibly privatizing the state-owned Matanuska Maid dairy.
ACHIEVEMENTS CITED
He said he considers among his accomplishments expansion of the state's export of seed potatoes and
apparently convincing state officials to put $1 million into this year's general fund budget for the
agriculture division.
Those funds had previously been removed from the state loan fund for farmers.
While critical of the Palin administration, DeVilbiss noted that the Natural Resources Department,
which oversees the division, experienced extensive turnover in his two years, including three changes of
director. He also noted that agriculture, which generates only about $50 million a year in revenue, takes
a back seat, perhaps legitimately, to issues involving other industries like oil and gas that bring in
billions.
But, he said, he believes the state needs to support a supply of locally grown food.
"Someday the oil is going to run out," he said.
Still, he noted that current deputy commissioner Dick LeFebvre has been more involved in agriculture
issues, which he found encouraging.
NO REPLACEMENT CHOSEN
State Department of Natural Resources spokesman Dan Saddler said no replacement has been picked for
DeVilbiss. He said names will have to be forwarded by the state Board of Agriculture and Conservation.
In an interview late last month, LeFebvre acknowledged the administration was under pressure to
replace DeVilbiss but said he didn't expect a decision until after the legislative session ended.
Saddler said Wednesday that he did not know about those discussions.
As far as DeVilbiss 1 complaints about a lack of direction, Saddler said the director was entitled to his
opinion.
MTf
I'm sure he f s got his view on that and there's certainly a lot going on in the department," he said.

Hadn't heard back regarding a press conference tomorrow on AGIA, but since it's already
after 5:30pm. ,.
There are so many reasons to do a press conference - I'll defer to all of you who are living
and breathing AGIA in the halls, but one thought is that with the session nearing an end,
and the massive interest from the media in daily updates (and the assumption from some in
the media that the Governor would be making daily comments on AGIA over the final couple
of weeks), let's do a press availability tomorrow thankful for forward movement of AGIA (as
it happens), acknowledging the final days and assumed passage. It can be this week's
"weekly gasline briefing" with the same message scheduled for tomorrow, but with access
for the media to the Governor and the gasline team in one area versus chasing everyone
down throughout the whole day - from Juneau to Anchorage. It's fantastic continued PR
with media, with the public (ultimately), and may save everyone time in terms of
coordinating one dedicated half hour to answering the myriad questions out there. They are
all questions that would need answering anyway...
Again, I'll defer to the Juneau schedule, but my thought is early afternoon.,, as long as no
one is meeting.
Please let me know.
Thanks,

I would have... made more room for you. Commissioner Von Scheben and I had lots of room in
Anchorage!
Thank you for taking time out of your busy days to support outstanding State employees. These are
individuals whose efforts were noted and nominated by their peers around the state.
Recognizing and highlighting excellent service within our workforce is a small step but I believe it sets a
powerful example throughout the State. Your presence at the event helped accentuate that message to
all of the employees, of course, including your own.
I told you I would be working on recruitment and retention issues following session, and I remain
committed to that task. Thank you for taking time to attend this event in support of your employees.

Hello Joe:
Glad the word is out there that we have to take a hard look at the Mat-Su Prison plans.
The only criticism I've heard about today's coverage of the issue is that no one informed
Lyda of the concerns we had, and that she wasn't informed of any of this. I have a hard
time believing that's the truth because I seem to recall hearing that we've briefed her or
her staff any way.
So, if she's been briefed, either she or her press person (Jeff Turner) needs to be called on
this. We'll suffer the wrath of Lyda and/or her supporters if she's let people believe we
didn't inform her of concerns over this monumental issue. I don't want them to spin this
into: "They're not communicating with us. 11
Who knows what the motivation was when the reporter was told we didn't keep Lyda in
the loop with her project, but it needs to be corrected so folks know we're not
purposefully doing anything to undermine her project - we're just trying to be sensible.

Certainly, it would be good news to see a turnaround for the company because
Matanuska Maid is a great part of Alaska's history. But evidence shows that
outside competition has undercut Mat Maid's ability to continue the way it

Governor:
In the last Cabinet meeting I promised I would get back to you on why we need
$350,000 for the electronic filing of disclosure statements. You said you had not
a problem filing your reports during your last campaign and wondered exactly
why we need the additional funds and what cost savings might be achieved if
APOC no longer has to key in information on these reports.
In 2003, APOC requested funding to only handle the Campaign Disclosure
information electronically. When I was appointed and reviewing APOC's request
for $350,000 of additional money for this year, I asked for a status update on
the previous appropriation. Basically, there's little to show for it We will
aggressively manage this project if the funding is maintained in the budget. It
needs to be done, I know you want it done so that the public can see who
contributes to whom and "follow the money/'
The current system will not survive another election year, and it's dn imperfect
system that only addresses one piece of the reporting requirements. If the
system is not updated, APOC will revert to a paper-only agency. Information
currently available to users on the APOC WebPages would not be updated. This
would not be in keeping with your philosophy of open government
In terms of savings, Campaign Disclosure Statements range from one page
(such as a registration statement, or an exemption statement) to 500 pages
(such as a report by a gubernatorial candidate.) In many cases the quality of
the handwriting is very poor, so each page takes longer to enter. In an election
year, Brooke Miles, APOC Executive Director, estimates that 65% of the personal
services resources of APOC ($660.4 FY 07) are expended in the data entry
process.
Of course, there is other work APOC does, which is unrelated to the automation
of these reports including investigating complaints and providing training.
11/10/2009
PRA GSP01 0001831
Page 2 of 2
As you are likely aware, HB 109 has been amended to require APOC to scan in
handwritten information so that the public sees it timely. (Sec. 9. AS 15.13.040 is
amended by adding a new subsection to read:
(p) Information required by this chapter that is submitted to the commission on paper and not
electronically shall be electronically scanned and published on the Internet by the commission,
in a format accessible to the general public, within two working days after the commission
receives the information.
I hope this information answers your questions and I can provide additional backup if
you would like it.

waiting to hear where we're going on this issue, as it's becoming clearer the PPT rate may have
been adopted via undue pressure from the oil industry.
With my public statements made on revisiting PPT, and the legislators who support (and are
calling for) a special session on PPT, we'll need to hustle on strategy re: who we use and when
we get them in here to work with DOR, DNR and Law to get to the bottom of PPT, and to
consider gross taxes if that's what's best for Alaska.
Thanks Mike. Let's talk soon about this with commissioners.

Thank you for taking time out of your busy days to support outstanding State employees. These
are individuals whose efforts were noted and nominated by their peers around the state.
Recognizing and highlighting excellent service within our workforce is a small step but I believe it
sets a powerful example throughout the State. Your presence at the event helped accentuate
that message to all of the employees, of course, including your own.

Subject: RE: ag/mat maid
Governor, thanks for your support, there is a ton of work but fixing the challenges makes
the effort worthwhile. The issues below are time sensitive with item 1 needing immediate
direction, it will only get worse and items 2 & 3 needing must have final decisions early
this week. Also its time to be praying for rain in the Interior.
Next week there are three priorities that DNR must work on and move forward Dick has been
working hard on these while Marty and I have been gone. 1) Ag - Director, Mat Maid,
farmer's concerns, etc. 2) Kenai River - hydrocarbon levels in the water, 2-cycle
engines, 50-hp, hull options, timing so we don't hurt Alaskans. Dick has been
coordinating this with DNR, P&G, and DEC and 3) ACMP's position for off shore work that
addresses North Slope concerns and provides a path forward for Shell.
Marty, Dick, and I have a conference call planned for Monday on these issues. As we
finalize recommended decisions we will need some of your time to discuss and make sure
you are up to date. Each decision will upset someone. We just need to do it right.
I will stay in Fairbanks on Monday to attend the funeral service we discussed.
Have a very happy Mother's Day tomorrrow. Tom

"challenge" we have in front of us with Ag.
PRA GSP01 0001839
I'd like to find a director from the Mat-Su Valley, as it seems that's where the focus
of Ag is and has been lately.
Franci Havemeister is willing to help where we need her. Don't know if director position
is best for her, I'd like you to talk to her and see if you feel she'd fit in any
particular role. She's of the Havemeister Dairy Farm family - one of only three left
providing milk to MatMaid.
We need to bring new energy into Ag and the BAC board, too. I'll ask Ivy for list of bd
members .
We need good business minds to be in there deciding the direction of some aspects of Ag.

December / January issue of Alaska Magazine. Melissa will talk to her a little, but spend most of
the time just observing re: how she works.
Is there a time that's better than another for this - when perhaps the Governor is doing
something? If anything needs to be "off the record," no problem. Melissa is aware and will respect
it.

I agree with Tom. The folks on the distribution list from the email on Friday need to be
given a very strong message that these are internal documents, and they must take personal
responsibility to ensure that the messages do not go out. They can't forward messages and
send them to staff, they can't have staff manage their emails, otherwise they will not be
included in future discussions and they will useless in doing their jobs.
If they want to forward the request to staff, they need to take the time to write their
own email to staff, which does not carry on the chain of previous emails. Also, if they
choose to send it to staff, they bear all the responsibility to ensure that the staff
understands that outside release of the information will not be tolerated. This is not
being secretive or non-'open and transparent 1 , it is simply to make sure the public gets a
full clear message and not misinformation because things come out in dribs and drabs.
Usually, this type of protocol enforcement is done by the Chief of Staff. Is this
something Mike can do on Thursday?

We talked about this last night. One likely possibility is it came from the request Steve
sent to all the Commissioners asking for suggestions on energy. This got a wide
distribution.
We need to make sure all commissioners have a method where only they have access to
certain draft emails and they keep in progress, draft ideas confidential. Maybe we can
comment on it to a Commissioner only, no staff portion of a Cabinet meeting.
As a side note: I am making a quick trip to Fairbanks this morning so I can attend

I'm proceeding with acquiring the economic expertise to tackle the policy issues

All of these are separate issues from the legality of the PPT vote. However, to the
extent that we can prove PPT was a corrupt decision, it provides us with a clean slate to
proceed, and we don't have to compare everything to PPT.
As we move forward, it will be important to clearly explain to the public the distinctions

My challenge on these points is working so closley with many who were close to the ppt
issue and because they have so much on their plates they don't seem as enthused about
digging deep - and they may enjoy working in the isolation provided by Juneau more than i
do (to me, this isolated environment seems unfair to the rest of concerned Alaskans) .
Ppt investigation is hugely important and i need objective minds delving into it - we need
new blood taking a look at this issue. We need the independent investigation.
Its a challenge - getting to the bottom of ppt vs gross has to be tackled

I will be responding to legislators in their request for special session on PPT soon. Want

Meg: Totally agree with both your points here.
Talis:
My challenge on these points is working so closley with many who were close to the ppt
issue and because they have so much on their plates they don't seem as enthused about
digging deep - and they may enjoy working in the isolation provided by Juneau more than i
do (to me, this isolated environment seems unfair to the rest of concerned Alaskans) .
Ppt investigation is hugely important and i need objective minds delving into it - we need
new blood taking a look at this issue. We need the independent investigation.
Its a challenge - getting to the bottom of ppt vs gross has to be tackled.

I am a vote for independent auditors / investigators. It is important, especially with due
caution that the process and the vote were influenced.
Additionally, Sharon mentioned your thought of Anchorage for the special session - I can't
imagine a better place. Perhaps the close proximity to more of the people in this state
will help to minimize undue influence.

Subject: Judge Interviews
Just so you know all of the nominations have asked for in-person interviews. I said (because of the governor's
busy schedule right now) that we have time set aside for teleconference until I hear otherwise. Perhaps in the
future, at least for Superior Court, the governor could interview the top candidates? Something to think about, I
guess.
Sharon lllsley, who's applying for KNI District, was the only nomination who actually conveyed she was
appreciative of having the governor participate in the teleconference. She said she understands how busy the
governor is — I was appreciative of that. Sharon is endorsed by Chuck Kopp and Kevin Clarkson (an attorney
friend of Lt. Governor Parnell).

I want to be sure that Governor Palin has my new contact information. She had indicated that she would like to
speak with me about higher education in Alaska, and I am ready at any time to talk with the Governor. I certainly
realize that she has been especially busy lately.
My new e-mail address is E-Maimon(g > govstedu . My new cell phone is : Privileged or .
When the ferry reaches Bellingham, WA, we will begin our drive across the country. I will have my cell phone on
whenever we are in range. So the Governor is free to call or e-mail at any time.
Please convey to the Governor my best wishes for her continued success in leading Alaska, a state that will
always be in our hearts.
Best wishes,
Elaine

my endorsement of his qualifications. I have known John for over ten years
through both the Alaska Air National Guard and his work in the Anchorage
Municipal Prosecutors Office, Criminal Division.
John has been an Alaska resident since 1981. He received his law degree from
the University of Tulsa (same school I graduated from) . He is currently an
Alaska state employee, serving as an Assistant District Attorney, State of
Alaska, Office of the District Attorney, Anchorage, Supervisor of Misdemeanor

I believe John would be a terrific judge and great appointment for your

Subject: RE: PPT
Reading the ADN editorial today, and Quinn's story with the Governor f s
quotes, renewed my outrage over the stall on SB 80, the PPT corrosion bill.
I wonder if we should hold a press conference reminding folks that the bill
is only 4 pages, it only adds 12 lines of text to the statutes. It is not
complicated! It will keep the state from having to pay up to 52% of the
replacement costs for poorly maintained facilities. It CAN be passed in one
day if the House passes the Senate version.

My challenge on these points is working so closley with many who were close
to the ppt issue and because they have so much on their plates they don't
seem as enthused about digging deep - and they may enjoy working in the
isolation provided by Juneau more than i do (to me, this isolated
environment seems unfair to the rest of concerned Alaskans) .
Ppt investigation is hugely important and i need objective minds delving
into it - we need new blood taking a look at this issue. We need the
independent investigation.

Governor,
I have received several phone calls wondering if you were planning on an
AGIA bill signing "event". They are assuming that you intend to make
this more than the normal bill signing and wanted to convey that if you
intend to invite potential AGIA applicants, they would appreciate as
much lead time as possible to build the event into their schedules.
Please advise if you would like us to assist with planning or

Governor Palin,
I think I had mentioned before the possibility of organizing a reception in Anchorage for your appointments. I've
coordinated with Kris and Kari and it looks like June 29 would work as you'll be in Southcentral for a Miner's game
and a Bucs game, and some other events. If you're interested in this, Kris and I could start working out the
details. If you're not, thafs okay too.
We had thought each Palin appointment (approximately 75) and 1 guest could join us for an informal reception
where we could hear what's going on the boards, put a face to a name in some cases, and to keep the
appointments motivated to continue serving.
Who: Palin appointments and 1 guest
What: informal reception, short welcome speech, and then meet and greeWisting
When: June 29 for 1 hour
Where: Anchorage (location TBA, Kris had mentioned the AK Native Heritage bldg)
Why: meet appointments, keep them inspired and willing to serve

PRA GSP01 0001897
Just had a visit from Sen. Therriault. He's concerned they might actually not get this
done tonight. He's concerned that the Administration not paint the entire legislature as
the problem. He thinks the press is beginning to understand who is exerting leverage from
the Senate Majority. Also, he noted that Bill McAllister has posted the House offer of
earlier today or at least pieced it together so the press will know the House had a plan
to go out, its essential pieces, and that the Senate Majority wasn't going to agree.
Gene wanted us to know the Senate Minority was in agreement with the House plan.
Obviously, if we thought the House offer was acceptable (??) , the House Majority thought
it acceptable, and perhaps the House Minority thought it acceptable (??? I don't know on
this one), then the holdup is in the Senate Majority. Accordingly, if the session does go
down without a complete agreement, I'd recommend we shine the light where the problem is —
Senate Majority Leadership.
Just a thought, but I do think there is merit to Gene's request that we not paint the
entire legislature with "Why couldn't they do it in time" brush.

There was a little bit of a snafu over the weekend. DNR requested 600,000 in ARLF funds.
That was switched to general funds in the Senate. In the house finance committee, Meyer
cut it in half ., .with our ok. Once the word got back to him that we really needed the
full 600, he went right to work on it. Tonight, the House adopted an amendment on the
floor to go back to the full 600.

Mat Maid makes last grasp for state money, survival
DAY OF DECISION: Board meeting Thursday could decide dairy's fate
By S.J. KOMARNITSKY, Anchorage Daily News
Published: May 16, 2007
WASILLA -- The Matanuska Maid Dairy may be in line for up
to $300,000 in state funding, but it may not be enough to
save the struggling state-owned dairy and the handful of
dairy farmers that rely on it to buy their milk.
State agriculture officials said they 1 re not even sure the
Anchorage-based dairy will get the money.
As of Monday, the state capital budget still contained $300,000
for the dairy, half of the $600,000 in an earlier version
of the bill.

Well, you know, they have budget pressures. The profit margins weren't high
enough and so Alaska should, of course, pay for the fact that they simply
had to cut somewhere. Can't Alaska residents understand that we should all
subsidize maintenance of their pipes in cost -cutting times - even after the
state's environment was threatened and damaged, revenues fell short for lack
of oil moving through the pipes, and BP's lies are hurting Alaska's national
efforts to further develop lands? (I certainly hope the sarcasm can be
felt.)
Thank you for passing along. I haven't found the BP committee hearings on
television.

Subject: Re: FW: Great Alaska Schools - Ask Legislators to do right by Alaska's kids
Hi Mary - The legislature certainly wrestled with education funding this session. Certainly some
significant pieces, including the $77.5 million for TRS to buy the rate down to 12.56%, 50% of
the ISER study, and over $21 million for school improvement grants will make a difference at
the classroom level. Legislative action to put $1 billion of the FY2007 surplus into the public
education fund provides a tremendous oppportunity to actually achieve forward and early
funding. The commitment of the legislature to work on the funding formula over the interim
with recommended changes by September 1 is also good news so that the public and school
districts will be able to weigh in on the work of the task force. The administration is committed
to working with the legislature on this issue.
Thanks for all the hard work you do for Alaska's students and families! Karen

Dear Governor Palin, and Karen,
I am forwarding a message sent to our Great Alaska School, Citizen Coalition (volunteer
email network) about 8 days ago. I believe the counsel on education funding is as
pertinent today, as then. The closed doors negotiations, and lack of public process by
the Alaska Legislature is unwarranted and wrong.
However, in the short term, kids deserve access to improvements and and resources.
Simply because there has been an intolerable process is no excuse to NOT invest
sufficiently to make a difference at the classroom level.
I urge you to take the lead and influence this process at the 11th hour. Alaska's
1 students deserve more than status quo quality, whether they live in rural or urban
Alaska. It is time to add something at the classroom level (exceeding retirement and
maintenance level costs).
In the longer term, work with the Legislature to resolve this impasse. All kids deserve a
! great education. It's time Alaska took a long hard look at what it takes to make this
possible.
Thank you.

Subject: Great Alaska Schools - Ask Legislators to do right by Alaska's kids
Great Alaska Schools --
The oil lobby is powerful in Alaska, and has been for a long long time. The news of the last few days is
sobering, but the influence of big oil should never be minimized. It is merely more evident now.
However, there is another more powerful, and ethical lobby. It is citizens, like us, who care enough to
speak up on issues near and dear to us. There is no monetary gain. Only the incentive to create stronger,
more vibrant communities and better schools where our children, our neighbors children, truly have the
opportunity to learn and thrive.
It is time for us to speak up, as loudly and as articulately as we can. AND as quickly as we can. There are
but 9 days left in the legislative session, and school funding remains in limbo. Legislators are rewriting
the foundation formula behind closed doors, without benefit of public input or scrutiny. This is wrong.
Nothing as essential and fundamentally important as public school funding should be negotiated behind
closed doors, with no opportunity for public debate and oversight.
At this point, we still do not know whether Legislative proposals will mean increases, cuts, or status quo funding for
schools. The last proposal that was discussed openly included increases for some districts, cuts for some (including
Juneau), and status quo funding for others.
Our message: End this session on a positive note. Invest in Alaska's kids. If the Legislature intends to
address substantive changes in the school funding formula, revisit these changes next session in the clear
light of day, with full public input. Meanwhile, we challenge the Alaska State Legislature to actually
make a difference at the classroom level for students across Alaska. Fund schools so that kids actually
feci the difference.
School Boards have long lists of needs - whether text books, computers, teacher training, classroom supplies,
substitute teachers, pay for special education aids. Each district's needs are somewhat different. However, School
Boards are doing their best to address the complex job of helping all kids succeed, and we, the citizens, are watch
dogging that process at the local level.
Here is the legislative list, corrected for one error.

Here's a message idea:
To the Alaska State Legislature,
End this session on a positive note. How? By increasing your investment in Alaska's students, lama
parent of . My children need and deserve great schools. It takes more than wishful
thinking, or punitive laws to improve Alaska's schools. Funding is pivotal in determining the quality of
Alaska f s schools. 1 ask that you go beyond funding the status quo, and invest more. Increase resources
available to Alaska's teachers, and opportunities for Alaska's kids.
If you enact substantive changes in the foundation formula, I ask that you revisit these changes next
session, with full public debate and participation. Something as critical as funding of public education
should not be decided behind closed doors, at the end of the legislative session.
Sincerely,
You can also go to www.legis.state.ak.us <http://www.leais.state.ak.us/> to send a Public
Opinion Message, track issues, or find legislators' phone numbers,
In addition to emails, phone calls to legislators are great !
Take 10 minutes now to call or write your legislators, or all legislators
(above) while it's on your mind.
Time is of the essence.
Your voice matters.

Our intention is to implement the initiative as approved by the voters . We understand

Regarding the level of funding, we do not believe that we can develop a responsible plan

It went for over 45 minutes and was excruciating. He hadn't spoken with Sabra or anybody else... nor had
he spent any time in Juneau during this past session, but went on and on at length trying to get us to
explain the process.
A suggestion... budget-related interviews should either talk with OMB or the Legislative Office prior to
speaking with the Governor so we can get through ail the details/numbers/etc, first... and then narrow
down the time necessary to get comments from the Governor.
Thanks!

So Kyle is only looking for broad sweeps on capital budget right now - similar to what you said
during the press conference today. (And I walked through some of those comments - you need to
get the team together and start working through - that you haven't seen everything yet - you
want to look at everything on their merit and see what's good for the state.) Kyle would like to
know what your philosophy is? How will you look through the spending lines and projects? Will you
take out your veto pen? How about the process itself? The 180-page document is unveiled with a
couple days to go (his facts, not mine), could that truly be enough time for lawmakers to peruse
and vote on? Is that process fair?
He would like to talk to you, Governor - as well as Karen re: capital budget. Karen, he would
actually like to talk through more specifics with you.
I'd like to set up for the morning. It could either be together or separate - whatever works best.
But Kyle knows to keep it high level.

He will be rather skeptical and confused because he feels that it ' s not the
administration's priority and that the ag department is quite unorganized
and confused on its own policy (DeVilbiss' resignation only added to it) .

Subject: budget
It was good to get out of Juneau for a day, as I encountered quite a few people who wanted to
give suggestions on the budget - everyone I talked to is pretty outraged at the size of the thing.
Lots of examples were given where cuts could/should possibly be made.
From the $10million (federal project) rocket launch facility, to Railbelt Energy Funds, $350,000
South High's Booster Club request, dust control in Nenana, relection ponds and Fairbanks Dog
Park - lots more examples. People who have dug a little into it and can not believe what
legislators did with pet projects and with requests for funding projects on the heels of promises
of no more state funds to sustain some of these existing projects. And on the heels of campaigns
that promised recognition of government's proper role.
Reporters are asking about some of the obvious ones, including ADN pointing out Manly airport
relocate for a couple million... which I hear would be used to accomodate some who want to fly
in but just don't want to drive through the community. (It's an example of something obvious that
we need to look at and ask: it's it an absolute necessity THIS year? Can it wait/be phased in? Is it
EVEN necessary?)
Karen - it will be great to see recommendations from your staff re: projects that obviously have
to go - projects that legislators perhaps had asked for in the past and didn't get - signifying the
project isn't necessary but were plopped in in hopes of a new administration having mercy on
their project(s). With a sensible and conservative look, please have them recommend soon the
line items that can wait, or can just be eliminated.
This will be a lot of work, I'm sure, but we'll set a precedent in this first year that we're serious
about reigning in government growth by cutting that budget. Thank you.

Governor - we will be reviewing the entire budget and will seek recommendations from departments as well. It will
be important to be fair and consistent in the analysis. This will take some time as we gather the back up and review
the justification for the projects. Every item has a constituency! However, I believe we can discern those items that
government should provide from those that should be supported by the specific group or community. I will work
with Mr Tibbies and Mr Bitney to being specific recommendations to you. Karen

Subject: TLMP/lndustry
We met today with Dennis Watson, Mayor of Craig, and Steve Silver to discuss
the State's position on TLMP, among other things. They are quite concerned
about certain portions of the State's letter to the Forest Service, particularly
the treatment of the Annual Harvest Level and the Conservation Guidelines. I
responded that I thought their interpretation of the letter and our objectives
was too restrictive.
They reiterated their request for a high level meeting with the Administration,
hopefully including the Governor. I was non-committal about the Governor's
involvement pending further discussions. However, I did mention that we had
talked internally about meetings and other mechanisms to obtain industry
and community input on a regular basis.
If we have not done so already, I would recommend scheduling a meeting with
the appropriate folks to discuss the State's letter and next steps. I think that
this would be useful for all concerned and would help avoid any alienation of
the industry and their allies.
Incidently, they predicted that, in the absence of remedial action by the Forest
Service, two of the mills would disappear over the next two years. Watson and
Silver believe that the State, as a cooperating agency, must take a strong
position with the Forest Service to avoid this and to build upon the
recommendations in our letter.

Speech is about 10-15 minutes and then Q&A for roughly 10 minutes. A After that, Bill McAllister (and any others
who are there) would like a moment of your time (less than 5 minutes) to speak regarding speech. At that point, you
need to get back to office for agriculture briefing. I will be there and herd the media.
Additionally, Les Gara is upset about a $50,000 appropriation from Kevin Meyer for Gateway School and Learning
Center &€" a Christian school for dyslexic students, Gara argues it is clearly unconstitutional. A McAllister wanted
to know if you&€™ve had the chance to look at the capital budget yet. A I told him that you have asked for
departmental and legal reviews of the capital budget and that you will look at the merits of each. A Additionally, he
asked since you are so pro-Constitution he doubted that you would push the line on any Constitutional budget issue.
I said that was fair but that certainly our legal departmental review will also provide insight into whether something
is or isn&€™t Constitutional.A I told him that in addition to measuring the Constitutionality, you are a fiscal
conservative and will look at the appropriations as to whether government should be supporting these projects or if
there are other means.

Subject: RE: Painted bears
Governor :
I wasn't aware of this particular effort until late last week as well. As you
know, the Russian River is the site of an extremely dense sport fishery for sockeye
salmon, and also the site of frequent bear-human interactions (some of them lethal
to bears and harmful to people). While potentially unorthodox, or at least
unexpected, this dye-marking program is an attempt to better identify those bears
that are problems before they become so habituated as to likely cause injury. Of
course, people should be wary and careful of all bears, but being able to easily
identify particular bears will help the public accurately report interactions with
those bears that are suspected of becoming problems.
Below is an explanation of this effort from our Division of Wildlife Conservation
staff. Please let me know if you need more information.
The plan to mark certain individual brown bears at the Russian River is part of an
interagency effort (in conjunction with the Forest Service and the Fish & Wildlife
Service) to improve public safety and reduce bear /human conflicts that occur in
association with the famous Russian River sport fishery each summer.
The reason the scheme to mark bears with dye and install fish carcass grinders
appeared in the ADN (and the Empire) is because Wildlife Conservation staff were
trying to be proactive, getting information in front of the public before the
salmon run draws crowds to the area.
There are a number of bears that are habituated to humans along the Russian, and
the river receives intense pressure from ^combat fishermen' each year. This
juxtaposition leads to frequent bear-human encounters, and because of the
inexperience of many visitors around bears and the tendency to be fearful of them,
we have unfortunate incidents on the river most years. One manifestation of this
is the tendency for bears to be wounded or killed by people who fear for their own
safety, often when the bears are offering no particular threat.
As the result of such killings in the past we have had several instances of young
bears being orphaned, and these often survive by feeding on fish caught by humans
along the river. This ranges from stealing fish that have been landed to bluffing
fishermen out of fish they are catching, to eating discarded butchered fish
carcasses. These bears lose their fear of humans and are often in close proximity
to people along the bank.
The management agencies need to track how bears are interacting with people, and it
is important to be able to differentiate between individuals in case certain bears
develop bad habits. People have a poor record of being able to distinguish
individual bears based on pelage characteristics, scars, or other features (even
ear tags). The proposal to dye mark certain bears is an attempt to help agency
staff keep people and bears safe this season by allowing us to monitor behavior
more reliably than has been possible in the past.
8/25/2009
PRA GSP01 0001952
Page 2 of 2
We would not be marking these bears except for the extreme potential for human -bear
interactions on this stream, and it is one- part of an interagency attempt to reduce
the type of problems seen in past years. All the agencies are interested in
increasing the safety of both people and bears in this situation.
Let me know if you require additional information.

I was just visiting with some oil patch people who are thrilled AGIA passed as it did. They can't say much
publicly, but they don't want another TAPS. One of the men said, "We elected her (Gov. Palin) to get us a
gas line deal that is good for Alaska, and by golly she's doing her job!" I was surprised that all four - from
four different companies - were of the same mind.

DEMOCRATS CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSION ON SENIOR CARE
Assistance for thousands of Alaskans failed on multiple party-line votes
JUNEAU - House Democrats sent a letter (attached) Tuesday evening to Gov. Sarah Palin urging her to make the restoration
of Senior Care a priority for the fall special session. Efforts to continue providing critical assistance to thousands seniors were
thwarted by House Republicans during the regular legislative session. Democrats will host a press conference in Anchorage,
Fairbanks and Juneau at 1 1 a.m. Wednesday to discuss this important issue.
House Democrats tried three times to prevent the cancellation of an important, monthly payment plan for low income seniors,
Alaska Senior Care. That plan provides monthly payments to thousands, and is scheduled to end June 30. (See linked articles
below).
"This isn't an argument for politicians or partisans," said House Democratic Leader Beth Kerttula, "This is about doing the
right thing so more than 6,000 senior Alaskans don't have to choose between medicine and rent or between food and heat.
When it's easy to do the right thing, there's simply no excuse to fail."
"We should stand up for our seniors. Blocking votes on this issue isn't the kind of leadership Alaskans want," said Rep. Les
Gara (D-Anchorage).

PRA GSP01 0001965
Re: PRESS RELEASE - Democrats Call For Special Session To PreventLoss Of Month!... Page 3 of 3
House Democrats previously called for the fall special session to reform Alaska's oil taxes, and they hope the Governor
will agree to add this issue to the special session call.
Last Tuesday Democrats attempted to add funding to the budget to continue the current Senior Care plan for another year.
That vote failed along party lines.
The next day, on the final day of session, Democrats called for votes on two other bills that would have extended these senior
payments. Democratic attempts to bring those bills to the floor were also killed on party-line votes.
"This is not a controversial issue " said Rep. Max Gruenberg (D-Anchorage). "A poll shows that most Alaskans and more
than 80 percent of the people in my district support assistance for seniors. Taking care of our seniors is an Alaskan priority.
If Senior Care is restored during a special session payments would be continued, and could be made retroactive to July of this
year to protect seniors who will stop receiving these payments on July 1.
Rita Hatch from the Older Persons Action Group (http://www.opagak.org/ ) will also attend the press conference.
The press conference will take place in room 220 of the Anchorage LIO at the corner of 4th Ave and H. Reporters may call in
at 1-888-295-4546, Juneau reporters may attend in the office of Rep. Beth Kerttula in room 404 of the Capitol.

Greetings , Gang .
Later this week or sometime next week, Tim June of Haines plans to stop by the Division of
Elections office in Anchorage to present an application for an initiative to implement a
Clean Elections Act, a proposal to give political candidates for state office the option
of accepting public financing in lieu of private fundraising.
This is the same as legislation introduced this month by Sen. Bill Wielechowski , SB 182,
and Rep. Gabrielle LeDoux, HB 261. To see SB 182 and sponsor statement, go to
http: //www. legis. state. ak. us/basis/get_bill .asp?session=25&bill=SBl82 .
PRA GSP01 0001971
Mr. June asks that the Department of Law not delay in its review of the application so
that he and supporters may start gathering signatures this summer.
His proposal may get some publicity ,
It's already been the subject of APRN's Talk of Alaska today [Tuesday] and last week, and
it may come up again when the Governor is on the show next week.

Subject: Re: Budget
Governor - great answer 1 To give you a little more background, the
Department of Law will be reviewing all the appropriations in the
operating and capital budgets. I received a copy of the bill analysis
they did for the appropriation bill last year, dated June 23, 2006 ( I
would be happy to make a copy of the letter and leave it with Kari if
you would like to look it over) . Specifically on grants to religious
entities they look for 3 things:
1 . there must be a secular legislative purpose
2. the principal or primary effect must be one that neither advances
nor inhibits religion
3. it must not foster "an excessive government entanglement with religion"
Schools are a bit of a different animal since there are specific
constitutional provisions regarding private schools - Law is researching
the issue. There is case law on this topic as well.
So, bottom line is that the title of the appropriation does not always
tell the story - we are getting the back up and will be reviewing all of
these prior to making recommendations to you. Hope this helps! KJR

What a mess. It's ridiculous that the first family can't all travel to and
from your homes. You would think the system would be more accommodating for
a family that has to be the first family 24 hrs a day for 4 yrs. Out of all

Kari - Im still unsettled about my son not being able to travel to Juneau -
not even once - as he's part of the First Family and that is supposed to be
the First Family's home. As a minor, at age 17, I believe the state was
wrong to charge him to travel the ONE time he'd be traveling to Juneau in
April. We felt that he could not, or should not be part of the First
Family's activities when we were told the state wouldn't cover his one trip
to the Governor's House. The state covered other family member's first trip
to our new home - I'm still at a loss as to why our son was ever excluded.
Even the Parnell family was able to travel to Juneau (Track was out of state
at that time the entire Parnell family was allowed a state trip to the
Governor's House) Would you pis run this by Linda Perez and Mike Nizich
again, as I'll continue to walk on eggshells with travel issues, not knowing
why the state does what it does in terms of travel.
I dont want to sound petty about this - but until there is a sensible policy
I will keep asking travel questions, even though it sure takes up a lot of
valuable time.
Thanks Kari. I dont have linda's email so pis run the issue by her again.

VIII) Agriculture Questions from Rob Stapleton
Question 1: Based on the BACs decision to privatize Mat-Maid what is the interim plan to
buy local milk should the dairy quit before another bottling plant is up and running?
Response to Question 1: If Mat-Maid is privatized purchase of milk from the producers may
be on- going. This of course would depend on the terms and conditions of any sale and the
private operator's intentions. The BAC is well aware of the position the producers would
be in if the sale was immediate and milk purchases were to be curtailed prior to Mat Maid
continuing its operation under a new owner or the proposed new dairy in Palmer started
purchasing milk. We supported the $600,000 for either a soft landing or a transition
period to a privatized dairy. The worst case scenario is a liquidation of Mat-Maid assets
The goal is a reasoned ratcheting down so the producers have time to deal with it as best
possible. Will there be problems, yes. However, if Mat Maid can operate until the new
dairy is operational it provides a bridge to help the producers.
PRA GSP01 0001982
Question 2 : Do you feel that agriculture is a viable future business for the State to
invest in?
Response to Question 2: No one can predict the future. However, we can provide
comprehensive directions for the agricultural industry and a positive environment to
foster growth. A strategic plan that provides comprehensive direction will allow both the
agricultural industry and the State to forge a solid relationship so that industry can
grow and prosper. Over the past years the industry shows an overall increased growth in
most commodities, including all feed crops (such as barley, hay and oats), all vegetables
(such as potatoes) and other crops (including greenhouse and nursery), but dairy products
and all meat animals were down. We have success stories in Alaska grown products with
potential new markets developing in Alaska such as use by the cruse ship industry. We must
continue to support our successes and provide for new potential development as well as
expansion where appropriate. We must tap or resources such as the University and others to
build a stable and viable industry.
Question 3: If so, will the state continue to support Alaska grown products in the
future? (How, a plan?)
Response to Question 3: Yes, a strategic plan that is designed to provide a map to the
future that recognizes the current status of the State's agricultural industry as well as
to outline a timetable for its future goals and objectives and their associated costs.
It is critical that the core of Alaska's agricultural industry that is currently
in place must be supported yet allowed to develop new priority programs and initiatives.
Impediments to industry growth must be identified and creatively resolved.
Strengths, underutilized abilities, and limited resources must be identified so
that they may be enhanced and strengthened by additional investment .
Question 4: Will your administration leave a legacy for the agriculture industry?
PRA GSP01 0001983
Response to Question 4: The State and the agricultural industry have experienced both
failures and successes. The current policy does not fully reflect or recognize Alaska's
potential for a diversified agricultural industry, the characteristics of a diversified
industry, or the need for long term stability. Numerous agricultural development projects,
plans, analyses, and studies have been undertaken, and issues and proposals have been
debated. A plan developed by interactive participation of public and private participants
that will include the general public, providers, producers, processors, agencies,
legislators and consumers that provides a map to the future is needed to assist
agriculture to be a healthy and sustainable industry. I can see that a plan is
accomplished, but to implement it will take the help and hard work of all of us working
together. We can continue to build upon our successes and create new opportunities for the
future. This is not about me; it's about supporting an Alaskan agricultural industry, a
renewable resources industry.
Question 5: What is the State's long-range plan for its agriculture dedicated land at Pt.
MacKenzie? Industrial, airport, etc.
Response to Question 5: The land has been sold for agriculture. The use is restricted to
agriculture. We have no plans to do otherwise. If parcels are returned to the State, they
are reviewed and a decision made as to offering them either in their current configuration
or to consider smaller tracts and the necessary conditions.
Question 6: Grocers in Alaska say that there is only a three-day supply of milk products
on hand in their stores and warehouses. Is there any emergency plan in place should Alaska
be isolated from receiving outside milk and shipments to provide milk with a local dairy
product for children and babies?
Response to Question 6: DMV through emergency preparedness plans

Subject: B&C Appointment Reception
Kris, I mentioned to Governor Palin last weekend about the reception for b&c appointments on June 29th. If you
still want to move forward I will work with Jacob today and rest of the week on getting our appts. contacted.
Just as a recap...
We had thought each Palin appointment (approximately 75) and 1 guest could join us for an informal reception
where we could hear what's going on the boards, put a face to a name in some cases, and to keep the
appointments motivated to continue serving. Most of our appointments are on the road system and can drive to
the event The state will not pay for travel.
Because this event is only one month away, I understand if we need to put it off until the fail or even next
summer. It's a good idea, I think, to have this event but I want to make sure everybody is comfortable with the
date and that it's executed properly.
Who: Palin appointments and 1 guest, Kris and Ivy and any other staff that want to help
What: informal reception, short welcome speech, and then meet and greet/visiting
When: June 29 for 1 hour
Where: Anchorage (location TBA, Kris had mentioned the AK Native Heritage Center)
Why: meet appointments, keep them inspired and willing to serve
****Kris and Mike, Governor Palin also mentioned that she would be interested in having her cabinet and
executive staff together some time this summer for a reception at her home in Wasilla. Perhaps this is something
we can begin to think about.****

Subject: Re: Governor's Appointment/ NPFMC
We met this morning with Beth Stewart, In turn, she met yesterday with
Congressional delegation staff and various people at the US Department of
Commerce.
She was told that the Congressional delegation is not opposing her
nomination. Further, she had what amounted to an hour's interview with
staff to the Under Secretary and felt that she was able to respond satisfactorily
to their questions.
We concluded that, between what she's done and what we've done, there's
nothing more to do at this end for the moment. The next important juncture
is the Governor's meeting with Bill Hogarth on May 28th.
Privileged or Personal Material Redacted
After the Governor's meeting, there may be some additional things we can do
to support Beth's nomination.
Final decisions on council appointments are expected in mid to late June.

I am copying the Governor so that she will know the latest developments in DC.
We are meeting with Beth Stewart tomorrow, and I will advise you of the results.
For whatever it's worth, Beth's DC counsel has heard the same information and
believes that confirmation of the Governor's original nominees is the best
approach, particularly given the president setting nature of this issue.

Subject: Re: FW: Track
Governor ,
The state travel regulations allow for payment of transportation costs,
lodging and meal allowances for travelers while traveling on state
business or for a state purpose. The state may pay for you and your
family to attend to state business and various functions relating to
your duties and responsibilities as Governor. Relocation costs for you
and your family to Juneau at the onset of your term of office and your
return home at the end of your term/s are also state payable expenses.
As you noted, we paid for your family and the Parnell family to come to
Juneau for the Governor's House Christmas Open House. We also paid
costs related to both families being present at the swearing-in ceremony
in Fairbanks. Both functions are state functions that include family
attendance. I was advised that Track was not attending either function
at that time. We also identified a January 5 Anchorage to Juneau trip
on the King Air for you and your daughters 'move 1 to Juneau.
It was never my intention to exclude Track from state paid travel, but I
need a business purpose or function for each state paid trip in the same
manner that we need a business purpose for state paid travel for the
First Gentleman and your daughters. I assume Track will be included in
family-related state paid events in the future. Unfortunately, when I
was asked some time ago about Track's trip to Juneau I was told at the
time that Track was not moving to Juneau, nor was there a state business
function, event or purpose that would have allowed for state paid
transportation for that specific trip.
PRA GSP01 0002006
I apologize Governor that travel is an issue. . . please let me know if
you would like to discuss this further or if I can provide any
additional information.

Subject: Governor's MidEastTrip
I have continued to talk with the Department of Defense about the possibility of
your traveling to the MidEast to meet Alaska troops stationed there.
At the moment, there are two basic options. First, there is a good possibility that
you could travel to Kuwait, with a quick visit to Iraq, in early to mid June. This
would not be a full blown DoD tour. Rather, you and a Democratic Governor (if
available) would travel by commercial airline in the company of a DoD escort. I
don't think that the full spectrum of briefings would occur, and the main focus of
your trip would be Kuwait not Iraq or Afghanistan.
The second option would be DoD's complete package consisting of extensive
briefings here followed by travel on a military aircraft and possible trips to Kuwait,
Iraq, and Afghanistan. Because of the intense heat now beginning in the MidEast,
this trip would not occur until the fall. More Governors would probably be involved.
The fall trip has the obvious advantage of being more comprehensive and more
convenient. However, it might occur around the time of a possible special session of
the Legislature. The June possibility would focus on Kuwait, where most of the
Alaska National Guard troops are located. But, you would not get the full flavor of
the MidEast conflict, and travel by commercial air would be more arduous.
I have discussed all of this with General Campbell. He recommends that you travel
now. Your principal focus would be on meeting members of the Alaska National
Guard in Kuwait. General Campbell indicates that they will most likely remain
there until the November-December time period. However, other elements of the
MidEast situation could change.
Before proceeding further, I request your guidance. DoD is prepared to pursue
which ever option you would prefer.
Thanks.

Hello Governor and Todd,
I discussed the schedule for the House with Kari yesterday; I apologize for the delay in responding to your email.
I've attached a proposed schedule for the Window Project and will be meeting with the window contractor and the
State Contracting Manager this week to finalize the schedule.
We hope to do the most intrusive work at the House during July, when your office (Cap. Bldg.) is being worked
on. Ifs up to you whether you want to be at the House when they're doing certain rooms, so ill keep you posted
on what the final schedule is. If you needed to be in Juneau, when the kitchen is being worked on- you have your
kitchenette and we could order take out The goal is that they should be able to start and complete two rooms
each week and wiil work around your schedule as needed.
1 will definitely let you know of any events the family is invited to. This House is much nicer with the family in it! ©
Please let me know if you'd like to make any changes or have any input, otherwise I'll assume that per my earlier
discussion (with Todd) that this is acceptable.
Thank you,
Erika

Let me know if the First Family is invited to any Juneau events this summer and we
can get the kids back - otherwise I'll plan on them being in SouthCentral. We're
headed to airport - Piper's with me, I'll bring Agia with me next time - she can
hang out at the house and I asked Ivy to check on her at night.
Also - I do need to know when the mansion work will take place so I can finalize
summer schedules around that.
Thanks! Hopefully there will be a few First Family events for Piper and Willow, at
least, to participate in in Juneau. With enough notice I can get them back here.

Hi Sarah I
Our Godson, Carl Ross Brent, graduated from Wasilla HS. Barb and I drove up
there for the graduation service last night, arriving in Wasilla at 6:35
where we got stuck in the largest traffic jam I have even been in 3 9 years
in Alaska. Remembering Wasilla as a crossroads consisting of Teeland's, the
RR station, and a bar, I never thought we would get stuck in a traffic jam
there that was at least a mile long. At 7PM, still in traffic, I called
Carl's father on his cell phone. He said the Sport's Complex was filled and
even if we eventually got there , we would not get a place to sit. He
suggested we turn around and go home, so we did. Carl called later and said
that people were parking on the Parks Highway and walking to the complex.
He also said that you gave a good speech. He particularly liked your
reference to Probasco graduating from Palmer HS while you graduated from
Wasilla HS, and you got to be Governor. Sounds like it was a fun event. As
for Barb and me, se spent 3 and M hours in the car and never did get there.
I sent you an email earlier recommending Catherine Easter for appointment as
a judge to a vacant District Court position. Here's some more info I
gathered on her:
Catherine got the highest score on the Bar poll, not only overall but in
each of the six categories. Her overall score was a 4.4 which is
exceptionally high. Cole got 4.0, Postma 3.9, and Darnell 3.8. For
integrity, fairness, and judicial temperament, Catherine got 4.6, 4.5, and
4.5 respectively. Very high!
PRA GSP01 0002030
A woman has not been appointed to the Anchorage court in over 6 years. Only
5 of the sitting 23 judges in Anchorage are women.
Catherine has the support of the district attorneys and law enforcement.
Cole is not favored by law enforcement, and is described as a liberal from
NY. COL Audie Holloway, Director of the AST sent a letter of support for
Catherine as did the APD Employees Association.
Darnell's wife, Karie Christianson, is already a Superior Court Judge,
having been appointed by Murkowski six months ago. Two judges in one family
seems a bit much.
Postma has only been admitted since 2000. He went through 2 law firms in 4
years before ending up at the AG's office for the last three. Only 74 bar
members knew him enough to rate him. Catherine was evaluated by 141
members .
In short, I weigh in on Catherine Easter for that District Court Judicial
position.
Hope this information assists you in making your decision.

Governor
1. Special session (just like regular sessions) are paid out of the
Legislature's budget .. .which is controlled by the Legislative Council.
Senator John Cowdery is the chairman of the Council, which is comprised of 5
Senators and 5 House members.
To answer Frank Bailey: Communities (or anyone interested) should be
contacting Senator Cowdery' a office to discuss * bids' or providing
logistical information.
Most legislators are appreciative that the Governor is willing to work with
them to have a special session conducted outside of Juneau,
2. HB117, a bill requiring 30 days notice for special sessions, is waiting
for your signature. The deadline is Monday... so I intend to schedule time
with you today to discuss. The bill takes effect 90 days after your
signature, so it will impact whatever spec-session we have this Fall.
3. Last - I am amused at how much attention is being played on the
potential location of the special session. Please know that I have far
bigger fears and concerns regarding the success/outcome of a PPT bill. More
on that later ...
I hope this helps. I am meeting with Harris, Cowdery, Kerttula, and Pam
Varni over the next few days to get sense of how people want to see special
session conducted. My message to them is that we have to a) hold down
costs, and b) make sure Alaskans feel included in the process so we can
establish trust and fiscal stability in our state's petroleum tax system.

Haven't even had time yet to go there - but you're right they should be. That was Gatto
and Nueman's idea too as they discussed actually moving the legislature over the years.
Bit - who's working on the leg's end of the idea of special session on rd system? We told
KTUU we'd have logistics to discuss /announce in a few wks. Tibbies - who do you want to
assign this to - "figuring it all out" w/ special session temporary relocation. Do you
want the Anch office to tackle this? We've got some kick-butt folks who put together not
only all the campaign logistics, but inaugural events, etc. And some of those folks are in
our employ today!
Bit - is the 30day notice now in place for special session calls?
Im ccing gasline folks be they'll need to be in loop on steps towards special session be
it's sounding more and more like there's going to be one.
Obviously.

Is anyone soliciting, bids from communities and putting together packages on what it would
cost to run the Special on the road system? IMHO if some of these communities were on
their toes they'd throw in a meeting hall and lots of offices for legislators and staff
pro bono or competitively just to bring the Special to their city, whether that be
Anchorage, Wasilla, Palmer, Fairbanks, or Soldotna.
Just a thought.

We were visited this morning by a high level delegation from Greenland. Citing
many common issues with Alaska, they asked me to convey their invitation that you
visit Greenland.
The delegation tendered similar invitations to the Alaska Congressional delegation.
The Greenlanders are in DC to inaugurate a weekly flight between the US and
Greenland.
Greenland is interested in pursuing such issues as climate change, telemedicine,
advanced telecommunications, and oil and gas development. They discussed some
of the current effects of climate change which are similar to what Alaska is
experiencing.
They also requested Alaska's participation in a joint committee currently composed
of the US, Denmark, and Greenland. I mentioned our participation in the Arctic
Council process, which also involves Denmark and Greenland.

Hi Sarah!
Our Godson, Carl Ross Brent, graduated from Wasilla HS. Barb and I drove up there for the
graduation service last night, arriving in Wasilla at 6:35 where we got stuck in the
largest traffic jam I have even been in 39 years in Alaska. Remembering Wasilla as a
crossroads consisting of Teeland's, the RR station, and a bar, I never thought we would
get stuck in a traffic jam there that was at least a mile long. At 7PM, still in traffic,
I called Carl's father on his cell phone. He said the Sport's Complex was filled and even
if we eventually got there, we would not get a place to sit. He suggested we turn around
and go home, so we did. Carl called later and said that people were parking on the Parks
Highway and walking to the complex. He also said that you gave a good speech. He
PRA GSP01 0002055
particularly liked your reference to Probasco graduating from Palmer HS while you
graduated from Wasilla HS, and you got to be Governor. Sounds like it was a fun event.
As for Barb and me, se spent 3 and Vs hours in the car and never did get there.
I sent you an email earlier recommending Catherine Easter for appointment as a judge to a
vacant District Court position. Here's some more info I gathered on her:
Catherine got the highest score on the Bar poll, not only overall but in each of the six
categories. Her overall score was a 4.4 which is exceptionally high. Cole got 4.0,
Postma 3.9, and Darnell 3.8. For integrity, fairness, and judicial temperament, Catherine
got 4.6 f 4.5, and 4.5 respectively. Very high!
A woman has not been appointed to the Anchorage court in over 6 years. Only 5 of the
sitting 23 judges in Anchorage are women.
Catherine has the support of the district attorneys and law enforcement. Cole is not
favored by law enforcement, and is described as a liberal from NY. COL Audie Holloway,
Director of the AST sent a letter of support for Catherine as did the APD Employees
Association.
Darnell's wife, Karie Christianson, is already a Superior Court Judge, having been
appointed by Murkowski six months ago. Two judges in one family seems a bit much.
Postma has only been admitted since 2000. He went through 2 law firms in 4 years before
ending up at the AG's office for the last three. Only 74 bar members knew him enough to
rate him. Catherine was evaluated by 141 members.
PRA GSP01 0002056
In short, I weigh in on Catherine Easter for that District Court Judicial position
Hope this information assists you in making your decision.
My best to you and your great family,
WAR

For the Libraries Advisory Board I'm going to draft letters of re-appointment for those members. Previously, you
didn't have a problem with the members, but you had wanted to appoint a school librarian from the Valley. I will
let him know that he has to apply for nomination through the AK School Library Association and also let the
association know to be expecting his name so they can send it forward for consideration next time around.
If this is okay with you, Til proceed.
Also, for the next judge interviews I'll consolidate the questions onto one list instead of having three. It seems like
it will make it easier.

The Fairbanks office has a timely issue they are looking for some guidance. The AGIA bill
signing is the 6th and there has been some discussion about holding the Governor's picnic
that same night. The picnic is usually later in the month but this year it is on a date
that you are not available. Melissa believes that she can put together the picnic by the

Good morning,
Just want to double check with you that you know about the gas team's plans for me in
Houston this week to try to get more potential applicants. I heard from Marty and Joe B
but wasn't able to find out if you knew or approved?? I can do it since they deem it

Jay- Here is some information to assist you in organizing Lt . Gov's travel arrangements:
Meetings so far:
1) Kinder Morgan, Inc. 500 Dallas St. Suite 1000, 713-369-9000
9am Thursday May 31,
PRA GSP01 0002078
Scott Parker, President, KM Pipelines, and Rock Meyer President of Western Regions
pipelines.
Representative from the Chairman's office may also attend.
2) El Paso Corp.
2:00pm on Thursday, May 31,
Byron Wright, El Paso's VP of Strategic Planning, and probably a couple of his
staff. Byron has direct experience on this project as El Paso's representative working
with TransCanada and the producers several years ago. Jim Yardley, the President of the
Pipeline Group, may be able to attend as well.
There will likely be other meetings that fall into place at last minute on Tuesday. I
have asked our consultants to try to arrange them for Friday or later in afternoon on Wed,
Air travel- Would recommend the following:
ANC- IAH (Houston Intercontinental) - Continental #781
Depart 8:50pm Tues May 29, Arrive 6:39 am Wed. May 30
Non-stop flight time 6 hours 4 9 minutes
PRA GSP01 0002079
IAH- ANC- Continental #667
Depart 5:30pm Fri June 1, arrive 11:30pm Fri June 1
One stop in Seattle for one hour, no plane change. Travel time 9 hours
If we don't have any Friday afternoon meetings, Lt. Gov could switch to Cont . # 1584
leaving IAH at 3:40pm which is non-stop to Anchorage, arriving in Anchorage at 7:52pm for
total travel time of 7 hours 12 minutes.
(I will l be on #781 Tuesday night, and will be returning from IAH at the 5:30 pm time
frame on Friday unless we can get out earlier on Friday because of no meetings.)
Hotels-
Myself and the two consultants will be staying in Houston in the area of the Galleria.
This positions us well to go into downtown center and get north to Woodlands area on the
freeways. There will be two rental cars between us.
Attached is a sheet with wide assortment of Hotels around the Galleria. I am staying at
the Bradford Homesuites at 3440 Sage Road 800-246-8357, a few blocks away from the heart
of the Galleria; the Lt. Gov might like it a little more upscale than I have selected.

I agree with you that we can do more of the public relations work ourselves. I
also believe that such work is essential if we are to succeed on national issues
like ANWR and oil and gas development generally,
I've learned from bitter experience that being right on the merits is sometimes
not enough. I'd like to think that Alaska is almost always correct on the
merits.
However, for better or worse, modern public policy seems to have a significant
political component. Many times members of Congress have told us that we
are right on the merits but that our opposition represents the margin of
winning or losing in their home states.
In my opinion, the challenge is to remove Alaska issues from the context of
being an easy environmental vote. In a proper way, members should
understand that there are other consequences in a world of high gasoline
prices and insecure foreign sources of oil and natural gas.
At bottom, I think Tom Kizzia's pr oblem may be with the use of public funds
for any public relations program. Privileged or Personal Material Redacted

I have formally asked PAC/West to cease operations and billings under their

I just read Tom Kizzia's story in today's ADN. I think it was fair and balanced to
all con cerned. In my opinion, our administration came out just fine, and Tom's
portrayal of PAC/ West was also even-handed.
There's an old axiom in DC to the effect that, when in doubt, tell the truth. We
did, and Governor Palin's decision to freeze the contract became the principal
story line.
I'd be interested to know what you think. Meg, it was good to work with you and

Governor,
One of our board members (Alaska Home Educators Alliance) spoke with Roger
Sampson, and he indicated mat noone had asked him to revisit the 2004
regulations on Statewide Correspondence Programs. The question arose in the
group about what was requested of him regarding the regulations.
Have you communicated with Roger about the 2004 regulations, and that
changes
should be considered?
(These regulations created inequity between the Statewide programs (IDEA,
Cyberlinx, etc))
Just a brief response would be great.
God Bless you,
Glen Biegel

For the most part Arctic Power funding from the state will stop. We left 120,000 to continue their website and
ability to send out information. They really were not being useful even though they continued to submit monthly
bills to the state. We needed a more expanded energy plan and effort than just ANWR. I hope Bill's story turned
out OK.

Is anyone soliciting bids from communities and putting together packages on
what it would cost to run the Special on the road system? IMHO if some of
these communities were on their toes they'd throw in a meeting hall and lots
of offices for legislators and staff pro bono or competitively just to bring
the Special to their city, whether that be Anchorage, Wasilla, Palmer,
Fairbanks, or Soldotna.

Governor,
Below and attached are talking points that should be helpful during your visit Rural
Alaska this weekend. Much of it should just refresh your memory. Nizich put this together
for you.
Cora and Nizich also promised information to me re: Dillingham talking points today. I
should have them turned around for you by later today or tomorrow morning. We are pushing
hard to get this information to you.
Thank you,
