Please have ADF&G, Div, of Wildlife Conservaton Director Doug Larsen put a way to
contact him on the website... Atleast a comment deposit on the web?
Also please have the Div. put where their funds come from on the web.
It would also be nice to quick link back to the state home page from there also.
It is hard to defend the management or use of the resoures without tools.
Thanks I . . . Robert

Governor Palin
Do you know what your Board of Game is up to? Below are some of the proposals on the
docket for the next BOG meeting in Anchorage. These proposals will increase bag limits and
mechanized access to bears and wolves by legalizing and hunting methods that have been
illegal for many years and traditionally considered unethical. There is no biological need
for any of these hunting methods, if you are as concerned about ethics in wildlife
management as you are in state government in general you need to rein in your BOG or risk
what is left of Alaska's reputation as an enlightened keeper of the people's wildlife.
Following are the Proposals:
Proposal #3 would expand the area where hunters can fly in and shoot black bears on the
same day they are airborne. Currently, this is only allowed in limited "predator control"
areas. This proposal further sanctions the use of bait or scent lures and allows hunters
to shoot bears as close as 3 00 feet from their aircraft.
PRA GSP01 0010021
Proposal #40 would sanction the killing of mother bears and their cubs in various regions
totaling over 60,000 square miles. This proposal lacks any biological justification and
would undoubtely result in many orphaned cubs leading to their death by starvation.
Proposal #41 would sanction a practice known as "denning, " which would allow the killing
of wolf pups in their dens, an extremely unethical form of hunting that has been outlawed,
with good reason, for many years. It would also extend wolf hunting season to May 31st,
when pups are out of the den, and extend the bag limit to 10 wolves per day. It would also
likely kill adult wolves, orphaning newborn wolf pups and condeming them to starvation.
Proposal #42 would permit the baiting of wolves statewide, a practice currently not
allowed except when trapping. This would habituate wolves to seek out human food sources,
creating obvious additional management problems .
This is not a pretty picture.

World Trade Center Alaska invites you to attend the 4th Statewide Economic Forecast Lu.„ Page 2 of 3
I hope that you have already made your reservations to attend the 2008 Statewide
Economic Forecast Luncheon that takes place on Wednesday, 23 January 2008.
This event has quickly become one of the most anticipated, largest attended
business events in Alaska. It's a great way to start the New Year with information
and analysis that you can use as you make your plans and strategies for 2008.
If you haven't reserved a table yet, please consider doing so today. While we want
to accommodate everyone who would like to attend, space is limited and a week
from today I cannot guarantee that there will be seating available.
I would also ask that you consider helping us to include as many High School and
University students as we can by sponsoring a table for them. These young people
represent the Alaskan leaders of tomorrow. This event is an excellent opportunity for
them to learn about what drives the Alaska economy and how Alaska fits into the
international picture.
If you've already made a table reservation, why not call and reserve a second table
designated for the students? We'll give your company or organization special
recognition from the podium during the luncheon and youMI be helping our local
students to better understand the dynamics of the Alaskan economy.
If you haven't made your reservation yet, do so today and add a second
table to support the students. I can tell you without hesitation that your support
will be very much appreciated.
Click Here to learn more about this event.
Best Regards,
Greg Wolf
Executive Director
To make your table reservation today, please call WTCAK at 278-7233. We accept
MasterCard, Visa, American Express and checks. You can also use the convenient
registration form provided below and fax to WTCAK at 278- 2982.

I hope you have time to read this in your busy schedule
I am just writing to offer my congratulations on your being appointed Governor of Alaska
What a suprise when I opened my of Idaho alumni magazine and found you in there! I
PRA GSPQ1 0010027
haven 1 t seen you since you graduated from the University of Idaho in ? 87 but always felt
you were destined for something great. I lived in the Towers on the 9th floor, between
Anne Moore (RA) and Stacia Crocker for that one year, studying my little heart out for my
Architecture and Interior Design degrees. It was so fun, I lost the pictures, but in my
memory I do recall going to the mall before Christmas to sit with Santa (you, Stacia,
Julie Rose and 1} and the Neely Hall Dress-up Dinner. I graduated in '89 and '90 and
live in the Sun Valley area still married to that Marc guy I was seeing (also an
Architect) working and raising two kids.

Tibbies told me she 9 s threatening not to even show up because she doesn't like an opening-
night, early State of State. He also told me Harris got grumpy (and petty) about it after
talking to Lyda? Bizarre.
Russ hand-delivered them letters about the sppech weeks ago and no one said boo. How in
the world do things like this become "an issue"? Like Sharon said - 6pm is prime time, it

What's the beef Fagan is supposedly making over my 6pm speech? AP told me Lyda is fussing
about it, said she may not come, Harris (er, John Bitney) reportedly wants a detailed
explanation. AP asked if I really had a plane to catch- (how would they even know this?!).
I explained the speech has been set for a month-and-a-half , no one complained back then...
and my fit to travel to attend my son's graduation into the Infrantry was made AFTER the
speech time was set.

plenty of prior notice and ignored it just like everything else you cannot face in a fair way.
Governor Pa I in is the governor, like it or not. Act your age. There is hope among a lot of people that y(
not run again.

CITGO Ad Effective at Improving Americans* Perceptions of Venezuela and Chavez
-- Majority Viewed Ad as a Political Tool as Opposed to a Public Service Ad —
Flemingtoiu NJ, January 15, 2008 - Results of a national study released today revealed that
while a CITGO public service ad elicited positive responses from Americans toward Venezuela
and its president, the majority viewed the ad as a political tool.
The study was conducted among 404 Americans during January 14-15 to obtain Americans'
views on an advertisement in which Congressman Joe Kennedy credits CITGO — a Venezuelan-
based company — as the only oil company that donated fuel to help underprivileged Americans
heat their homes. The communications research study was conducted by HCD Research and the
Muhlenberg College Institute of Public Opinion.
While viewing the advertisement, participants indicated their levels of believability by moving
their mouse from left to right on a continuum. The responses were recorded in quarter-second
intervals and reported in the form of curves. Participants were also asked pre- and post-viewing
questions.
To view second-by-second believability curves and detailed results go to:

Among the findings:
Which of the following best describes the purpose of the advertisement?
• An attempt to boost Citgo's corporate image -37%
• An attempt to embarrass President Bush within his own country - 20%
• Venezuela is attempting to assist Americans in need - 1 5%
• An attempt to promote Congressman Joe Kennedy - 15%
• Ari attempt to improve Venezuela's image - 13%
Do you believe that Hugo Chavez, president of Venezuela is sincerely interested in helping
economically challenged Americans obtain energy for heating their homes?

"The CITGO advertisement appears to have positive effect on Americans' perceptions of the
Venezuelan people and quite significantly increased their favorability of Hugo Chavez, president of
Venezuela/' explained Glenn Kessler, president and CEO, HCD Research. "If the objective was to
improve the image of Venezuela, it worked."
"The automated response curves showed a significant decrease in believability as the narrator, Joe
Kennedy, suggests that our government cut fuel assistance and that American energy companies were
unresponsive. Democrats, Republicans and independents all dramatically decreased their levels of
believability," Kessler concluded.
"While most Americans see the commercial as more of a political tool than a real attempt to help the
needy get heating oil in the United States, the ad does succeed at marginally increasing the standing of
both Venezuela and Hugo Chavez," commented Chris Borick, Ph.D., director of the Muhlenberg
College Institute of Public Opinion,"
The Media Curves web site provides the media and general public with a venue to view Americans'
perceptions of popular and controversial media events and advertisements.

America at the Crossroads
By Tom Donohue
America is at a crossroads. While the fundamentals of our economy and
society remain strong, our future is clouded by Washington's failure to
seriously address the core competitive challenges that will drive growth,
opportunity, and prosperity in the 21st century.

Capital Roundup
Chamber Applauds Long-Awaited Transportation Study
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce praised the release today of a two-year
study on the nation's transportation infrastructure.
The National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission
report includes several wide-ranging recommendations, including raising
federal gasoline taxes, a proposal the Chamber says should be considered
along with other ideas.
"We wholeheartedly agree that continued underinvestment and business-as-
usual transportation policies and programs will have a detrimental impact on
the ability of the United States to compete in the world economy and on the
everyday lives of Americans," Chamber President and CEO Tom Donohue
said in a statement to the press upon today's release.
During his State of American Business address last week, Donohue said the
Chamber would consider supporting revenue generating funding options —
provided that the funds were dedicated solely to repairing critical
transportation where it is most needed. The Chamber also endorses public-
private partnerships and greater use of tolls.

Nikoiski Fuel Crisis Update - January 15th, 2008
Dear All:
An ACE charter will attempt to take 10 drums of #1 heating oil to
Nikoiski tomorrow, Wednesday morning. APIA, APICDA, and Delta Western
are assisting this effort.
Nikoiski has less than 200 gallons in the tank, which may make it a day
or two. Heating oil is a priority due to the cold clinic and housing,
but without electricity, they won't have heat either.
A larger emergency fuel delivery is being planned with Magone Marine. Up
to 25,000 gallons could be delivered.
A new update will follow upon new information. Thank you for your
attention and interest and please let me know if you need any more
information.

I am very disappointed in the way you have been behaving towards our Governor Sarah Palin
in her attempts to attend her son's Basic Training graduation. As a military wife AND
mother and painfully aware of what our loved ones have committed to by joining the
military, we should all be standing up applauding the Palin *s on raising such a selfless
human being in this very selfish world, not attempting to make it an item of personal
attack against her.
I attended my son's Basic Training graduation in January 2006 and it was the most moving,
patriotic experience of my life, I wouldn't have missed it for the world. After going
through what these young men go through, they need to see their family there supporting
them and what they have just accomplished. And a mom need to be there to see her son, and
stand proud of what he has accomplished.
I urge you to have a little humanity, pushing up the State of the State address by one
hour so she can be at this life event is a small concession. I for one have more respect
for her as a woman and a mother then ever, and unfortunately, much less respect for youl
As a person of your status in this state, I would urge you to put your personal feelings
aside this Legislative Session and attempt to work as a team and towards what is best for
the State and its people.

For what its worth, as one of your "employers" I support your decision to take all
necessary steps to attend your son's graduation. Ten years from now (perhaps sooner) we
will have forgotten most, if not all, of our current turmoil. The gathering and the photos
to be taken of your rightfully proud family at graduation deserve your presence.
Some folks don't understand what is really important and lasting. Please continue to lead
by example and depart, on schedule, with a clear conscience, with or without delivering

Lyda Green refuses to support Alaska ' s troops
January 15, 2008
By Dennis Zaki - Alaska Senate president Lyda Green is trying to block governor Sarah
Palin from seeing her son graduate boot camp Thursday at Fort Benning, Georgia.
Palin sent a letter December 18th asking lawmakers to schedule a joint session of the
House and Senate to hear the speech at 6 pm on the first night of the legislative session
so Palin could make a 9 pm flight that night to Seattle.
The 6 pm timeslot would allow Palin to catch a flight she had paid for and booked in
advance .
Green claims that the traditional time is 7 pm and it should stay that way.
Senate Majority spokesman Green's lapdog Jeff Turner claimed the reason the speech can't
1
PRA GSP01 0010085
be at 6 p.m. because the storms over the weekend interfered with many of the flights into
Juneau and senators would be coming into town throughout the day Tuesday. Yet/ a check
with Alaska Airlines showed over 150 available seats Monday, and 125 seats available today
from Anchorage. That's not counting legislators already booked on flights. Turner's claim
is obviously a smokescreen.
A mother supporting her child at boot camp is as real as it gets.
Green has some explaining to do to her constituents in Wasilla with family members in the
military.
And support our troops.

legislature has for decades been arrogant and has ignored the will of the people and what
has been good for Alaska, The level of corruption is high and identified clearly. It is
way past time that the Legislature began to act like polite people and to recognize that
they are not imperial. I hope like h..l that the Gov, gives her speech at 6PM.., and so

It will be interesting to see who couldn't make it in for the already- scheduled 1:00 gavel

like she was on MatMaid "assistance", just like she was on telling reporters I was gone

Governor ,
Bitney said they had a problem with it last week, but then Harris changed his mind and
said 6:00 was o.k. In the meantime Bitney still sent the 7:00 invite to the Senate. That
put this all in motion, because Lyda had all she needed for ammo. The question remains,
why should you change your travel after 6:00 was already approved a month ago?
We NEVER refused to provide a reason for 6:00. when they asked, we told them, Bitney
pretended he needed a reason for 6:00 because he thought it might make us sweat. He then
admitted he knew about the graduation all along. He had told Tkacz early last week.
I've been consistent since last week (when Tkacz was the first one to say he knew about
the graduation) that you had a flight to catch to go see your son graduate. I never said
anything until it was obvious that the word was out.
The only real bad part of the story is the quote about the prime time slot. This was
never a factor as far a I was concerned. I'm not sure why that even came up. Never heard
that was a consideration of ours. It seems to run counter to the explanation that we
needed 6:00 in order for you to catch a plane.

It will be interesting to see who couldn't make it in for the already- scheduled 1:00 gavel
time. She's full of bull. Just like she was last week on the fund raiser invitation. Just
like she was on MatMaid "assistance", just like she was on telling reporters I was gone
"for many weeks" at the beginning of last year's session, etc etc etc. She needs to be
called on her lies.

Governor ,
Bitney said they had a problem with it last week, but then Harris changed his mind and
said 6:00 was o.k. In the meantime Bitney still sent the 7:00 invite to the Senate. That
put this all in motion, because Lyda had all she needed for ammo. The question remains,
why should you change your travel after 6:00 was already approved a month ago?
We NEVER refused to provide a reason for 6:00. When they asked, we told them, Bitney
pretended he needed a reason for 6:00 because he thought it might make us sweat. He then
admitted he knew about the graduation all along. He had told Tkacz early last week.
I f ve been consistent since last week (when Tkacz was the first one to say he knew about
the graduation) that you had a flight to catch to go see your son graduate. I never said
anything until it was obvious that the word was out.
The only real bad part of the story is the quote about the prime time slot. This was
never a factor as far a 1 was concerned. I'm not sure why that even came up. Never heard
that was a consideration of ours, it seems to run counter to the explanation that we
needed 6:00 in order for you to catch a plane.

Especially since they have been the ones dealing with harris and green on this. Bitney's
(intentional) screw up (the fact that he gave a -late- memo with the wrong time. . .hmmm) ,
Lyda's lies, bogus flights excuse, etc. Harris quoted saying he is caught in the middle.
Well Bitney put him there.
Sorry to add but this whole thing, UGH. I'm also sorry you're having to deal w/this crap.

Governor ,
Bitney said they had a problem with it last week, but then Harris changed his mind and
said 6:00 was o.k. In the meantime Bitney still sent the 7:00 invite to the Senate. That
put this all in motion, because Lyda had all she needed for ammo. The question remains,
why should you change your travel after 6:00 was already approved a month ago?
We NEVER refused to provide a reason for 6:00. When they asked, we told them. Bitney
pretended he needed a reason for 6:00 because he thought it might make us sweat. He then
admitted he knew about the graduation all along. He had told Tkacz early last week.
I've been consistent since last week (when Tkacz was the first one to say he knew about
the graduation) that you had a flight to catch to go see your son graduate. I never said
anything until it was obvious that the word was out.
The only real bad part of the story is the quote about the prime time slot. This was
never a factor as far a I was concerned. I'm not sure why that even came up. Never heard
that was a consideration of ours. It seems to run counter to the explanation that we
needed 6:00 in order for you to catch a plane.

Lyda's lies, bogus flights excuse, etc. Harris quoted saying he is caught in the middle.

Governor,
Bitney said they had a problem with it last week, but then Harris changed his mind and
said 6:00 was o.k. In the meantime Bitney still sent the 7:00 invite to the Senate. That
put this all in motion, because Lyda had all she needed for ammo. The question remains,
why should you change your travel after 6:00 was already approved a month ago?
We NEVER refused to provide a reason for 6:00. When they asked, we told them. Bitney
pretended he needed a reason for 6:00 because he thought it might make us sweat. He then
admitted he knew about the graduation all along. He had told Tkacz early last week.
PRA GSP01 0010120
I've been consistent since last week (when Tkacz was the first one to say he knew about
the graduation) that you had a flight to catch to go see your son graduate. I never said
anything until it was obvious that the word was out.
The only real bad part of the story is the quote about the prime time slot. This was
never a factor as far a I was concerned, I'm not sure why that even came up. Never heard
that was a consideration of ours. It seems to run counter to the explanation that we
needed 6:00 in order for you to catch a plane.

I read with dismay this morning of the conflict between your office and the Senate

next time. Track's graduation from Basic Training is clearly a monumental event,' please
thank him for his dedication and service to our country. The priorities for you must be
clear, I can't imagine you anywhere besides at his upcoming graduation. The Senate
Leadership is simply being nothing less than unreasonable. My family is completely
supportive of you giving your speech at 6:00PM as you had previously scheduled, regardless
of who is in attendance. As Alaskans we'll be listening and my respect for you will only
be increased by your decision to support our state and your family. As I said you've
already earned my vote and your continued hard work only makes me prouder to have you
serving as our Governor.
Thank you for your continued hard work and please thank your family for their sacrifices

Lyda Green refuses to support Alaska's troops
January 15, 2008
By Dennis Zaki - Alaska Senate president Lyda Green is trying to block governor Sarah Palin from
seeing her son graduate boot camp Thursday at Fort Benning, Georgia,
Palin sent a letter December 1 8th asking lawmakers to schedule a joint session
of the House and Senate to hear the speech at 6 pm on the first night of the
legislative session so Palin could make a 9 pm flight that night to Seattle.
The 6 pm timeslot would allow Palin to catch a flight she had paid for and
booked in advance.
Green claims that the traditional time is 7 pm and it should stay that way.

Senate Majority spokesman Green's lapdog Jeff Turner claimed the reason the

150 available seats Monday, and 125 seats available today from Anchorage. That's not counting
legislators already booked on flights. Turner's claim is obviously a smokescreen.

1- YUCCA MOUNTAIN NUCLEAR WASTE PROJECT LIKELY TO BE
IDLED FOR A WHILE
The Yucca Mountain nuclear waste project may have to be idled for a
while. Opposition from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV and a
sharply scaled back budget for the site from Congress will force the
project's director Edward F. "Ward" Sproat to layoff workers and may
hamper efforts to finish a required license application by June 30.
Congress' allocation of $386.5 million to the project for 2008 is the
lowest in years. Already 63 workers in Nevada for Bechtel SAIC, the
project's managing contractor have been laid off with many more likely

Dear Sarah,
We pray for you and your family often.
I'm sorry to take up some of your time but I need to let you know what I'm thinking.
I am an Alaska resident and I think you should go ahead to your son's graduation when you
need to. I'm sorry you have to deal with other short-sighted, small-minded, Alaskans who
have such poor people skills. I remember nearly 20 years ago when my wife and daughter
came to my basic training grad. I was very proud to stand in formation and be known from
then on as a defender of America just like my dad, uncles, and grandfathers before me.
Our country owes a great debt to all its active and veteran military members. Being in
the military makes one more than just a citizen but a protecter of the ideals as well as
all the citizens.
PRA GSP01 0010148
I know being a good christian means I must show the love of Christ to all but at times it
is necessary to consider family equal to everyone else and not just personal. Would this
politician have appreciated you attending her sons' grad from basic training? I think so!
I assume since wanting to join the infantry Track went to Benning for basic. Enjoy Ga.
My youngest son Thomas was born near Atlanta while I was serving at Ft. McPherson in 1992.
Have fun on your trip, Georgia's pretty confortable this time of year.

Subject: Re; Alaska Long Term Care and Maxim
Good morning, Ernest, ■■■
I am sorry it has taken me so long to respond to you inquiry. Sadly, our mom passed away on January 7.
She will now be joining the ranks of those State of Alaska retirees who have moved on without receiving
the financial support they had paid into for years to cover their long term care costs in their homes. My
heart aches that so much time has had and still has to be spent on trying to get the insurance coverage
from the State that they paid for and rightly deserve!
Thankfully, Maxim has finally, after untold hours and hours of phone calls with the State, Premera,
Premera/Long Term Care Group, and with Maxim and the collection agency folks, has received full
coverage for their care for both Mom and Dad. We are most grateful.
However, there is still the matter of 49 days ( $3,675 ) for Mom that has not been paid for Mom's care with
Comfort Keepers. The beginning of the 90 day deductible was to have begun on December 15, 2006, as
per letter dated Dec. 26, 2006, and after which payment should have begun but did not
I would like to fax to you the letters we have finally received and the Ded. 26 letter. Would you please
send me your fax number.
Thank you for following this issue for my parents!! It is nice to know there are two listening ears in
Juneau. Please thank Sen. Therriault for me. Rep. Fairclough's office is also listening.
Have a good day.

Dear Ernst,
Thank you very much for tracking all of this. My greatest hope is to resolve this for our parents AND ultimately
help fix this broken system we have for our eiders who want to use their Long Term Care policy to stay in their
own homes. I know few have pursued their issues as far as we have. Many have just given up. But we can't
give up. There is a solution, but I think we will have to think outside the box, if you will, to find the answer. I
think it will take a great deal of courage and vision on the part of the State to impliment something that will really
benefit our retirees and I am most grateful that Sen. Therriault and his office staff seem to be showing these
qualities.
I have not received that letter as yet. Perhaps they put it in the mail. In any case, when I get it I will send you a

Thank you again.

Nikolski Fuel Crisis Update - January 16th, 2008
Pear All
An ACE charter delivered to Nikolski five drums of #1 heating oil, five
drums of #2 marine diesel, and one drum of hydraulic fluid, with support
from APIA, APICDA, Delta Western and the Nikolski IRA Council. This
delivery will ensure heat, electricity, and heavy equipment for the
runway for two to three days .
The Magone Marine vessel, the Redeemer, will take on up to 25,000
gallons of emergency fuel this evening, intending to set off for
Nikolski. ETA could be as early as tomorrow afternoon. This emergency
amount of fuel will keep Nikolski in heat and power until long-term
plans to avoid this situation can be instituted.
A new update will follow upon new information. Thank you for your
attention and interest and please let me know if you need any more
information.

Governor,
I don't want to read anything into these e-mails - realizing that the true intent of a
message can be lost sometimes. Is this a criticism of how I handled the recent situation
with the House/Senate? If so, I'm willing to listen to what you think I might have done
wrong. If that's not the case, disregard this e-mail. Hope the travels are going well.
Don't sweat the minor criticisms of the speech last night. The average Joe could actually
understand it and appreciated it. Some legislators feel the need to be negative - that
doesn't change - apparently.

No, Steve I don't agree. You think because the governor was able to give a speech
yesterday it should excuse the behavior of the Legislature. I disagree. The governor
should not be accused of mis-communicating (again!) with the Legislature when she
transmitted her request to them in December. John Bitney knew then that Track was
graduating from infantry training and instead of drafting a letter to send to the Senate
with the requested time in it he sent a letter that said 7:00 pm. The miscommunication is
on behalf of the House via John Bitney.
Furthermore, the Senate said that they were sticking with 7:00 because it was the
"traditional" start time and so Lyda could allow time for her members to arrive in Juneau.
WHY would she then propose a 4:00 pm start time-how would an early time leave room for
her members to file in? Then in this morning's ADN article Cockerham said the governor
"bristled" at Lyda's implication of "accommodating her personal schedule." The governor
did everything in her power to COMMUNICATE and ACCOMMODATE the Legislature, and she's
still blamed for the miscommunication? Does she need to copy the media on every

Steve, she's the governor. She's a natural, God-Given, communicator. And you, having sat
down with her so many times, know how gracious she is with her time, how accommodating she
is, and how well she articulates her message.
Just my $.02. I respect your objectiveness, and the way you capture the essence of the
governor's message in your articles; however, I will continue to hold your feet to the
fire. I know you wouldn't expect anything less from me. And, I extend the same courtesy to
you-if you see me inaccurately describing something, or if you think I'm ever off base
just let me know. I can handle the constructive criticism and can stand to hear another
point of view.

15-30min should be sufficient.

Hello,
Once gain you are right on the marks I
Your letter to the editor in the ADN on Sunday the 13th about earmarks and the fact that
they are dwindling is to the point. I was thinking last week, when the budget surplus was
being talked about, that if the legislature gets its way the surplus will be gone before
we see it if nothing changes.
I applaud your response in stating that we 1 11 ask for something when its needed. If we
continue down this track and set a good example as you suggest, maybe other states will
follow.
With the national debt being $9.2 Trillion dollars and growing at the rate of $1.47
billion per day, some one must start the trend against spending like a drunken sailor.
Each citizen's share of this debt is $30,260.81 and it grows at the rate of about
$4,90/day.
PRA GSP01 0010176
When Lisa Murkowski brags that she brought $6 back to the State of AK for each $1 in
Federal taxes that we paid I think she ought to be held accountable for it. If you and I
spend money in this manner by writing checks until we run out of checks instead of
balancing our checkbook, we are held criminally liable.
Please, for the sake of all send your message to Lisa and Uncles Ted & Don that we can no
longer afford their spending habits.
Keep up the good work !
You most definitely have my support
Sincerely,
Philip Prax

Dear Governor Palin,
As a former 30 -year resident of the state of Alaska, and as a current honorable United

the successful graduation of your son, Private Track Palin, from his United States Army
basic combat training at Fort Benning, Georgia.
I am sure the entire Palin family is extremely proud of your son's first important
achievement as a soldier in the United States Army. I know that Private Track Palin has
accomplished a very challenging and wonderful journey from private citizen to that of an
official United States Army soldier.
After graduating from his basic combat training, Private Palin will now face his second
challenging step in the United States Array by accomplishing his Advanced Individual

Along with my congratulations for your son's success in the United States Army, I would

commendable .
In addition, I would like to take this opportunity and say that your positive leadership
and excellent moral and ethical examples as governor of Alaska in 2007 has greatly
assisted in providing me with a basic role model foundation in my professional life that I
greatly admired with the utmost respect.
The basic role model foundation, that I have seen from your excellent moral and ethical
examples as governor of Alaska, has provide' me with a unique set of professional and
highly ethical guidelines that I have used to assist me with developing the start of my
own successful self-employment business as an Adventure Digital Photographer in La Grande,
Oregon .
Some important examples of what I have seen as the basis of your positive leadership and
excellent moral and ethical examples as governor of Alaska include the following:
1. Your willingness to always continually do what is ethically and morally right for the
greater good of Alaska and its citizens.
2 . Your unswerving dedication to the truth and to be honest with both news media
journalists and the people of Alaska concerning any questions or problems concerning the
state of Alaska or the Palin administration.
3 . Your honorable dedication to your family and especially the honorable success of your
son and his professional accomplishments as a new soldier in the United States Army.
4. Your extremely positive outlook for the future of Alaska and its people while never
faltering in continually addressing the concerns of those Alaskans who call upon the state
of Alaska for both emergency assistance and general daily assistance.
PRA GSP01 0010179
I would like to sincerely thank you for not only providing positive and excellent
leadership as governor of Alaska, but for also providing to other American citizens, such
as myself, a basic role model foundation in which to always strive for excellence in
leadership, moral ethics, honesty and the truth in both personal and professional
occupations.
I wish yourself, your family and especially Private Track Palin, the very best in good
health and happy positive spirits. I also look forward to visiting your official Alaska
governor website often so I can stay updated with what is occurring in my home state every
month. Thank you.

Subject: Native Issues Forum/Today Juneau
Dear Governor Palin,
I attended the Native Issues Forum today at lunch which featured as speakers: Sen. Elton and Judge
Pallenberg. Judge Pallenberg gave a fairly general talk. Sen. Elton used the opportunity to talk about general
three SE issues and your administration. There were about eighty people in attendance.
1) Elton said "I never thought I would miss Robin Taylor being in charge of the ferry system" He said "We
have a DOT comm.. who is disinterested at best" about the ferry system. He criticized the Deputy Comm. In
charge of the ferries and the advisory board and claimed they are acting to please people "up North". He said the
solution is probably to disconnect the ferry governance from DOT and set it on a footing similar to the Alaska
Railroad.
2) Elton also then went after the jobs leaving Juneau under this administration. He said 140 high paying jobs
have already left and it is very bad for the economy and the people of SE Alaska. He is going to urge you to
adopt his proposal that you personally sign off on any job that is moved out of Juneau. He said while the
Governor has stated the "star*' should remain in Juneau he is worried that the attrition of jobs will slowly knock the
edges off the start and turn it into a "bullet hole".
3) Elton then spoke very highly of Comm. Schmidt and Corrections. He said there is a person who
understands the "corrections" aspect of the jail system.

OIL AND GAS: Industry group links Utah wilderness bill, congressman with
terrorism (01/ 16/2008)
Dan Herman, E&B Daily senior reporter
Last week, over 160,000 Utah residents received an e-mail letter indirectly
comparing a New York congressman to some of the most infamous men in the
world.
Along with mug shots of Osama bin Laden, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad appeared a photo of Rep. Maurice
Hinchey (D-N.Y.).
Hinchey's crime? Sponsoring the Red Rock Wilderness Act, a bill that would set
aside 9.4 million acres of public land in Utah as wilderness.
The letter was attributed to Utah state GOP Reps. Aaron Tilton and Mike Noel, but it
was the brainchild of Americans for American Energy, a Colorado-based industry
group that has accepted money from, among others, the state of Alaska,
8/25/2009
PRA GSP01 0010182
Page 2 of 4
The Red Rock Wilderness Act will "WEAKEN America/' the letter states. "How?
Because it will hamstring our ability to produce American energy right here in Utah.
That leads America to become more dependent on energy from hostile foreign
nations — some of whom fund terrorist organizations that are right now targeting
our American men and women in uniform."
An online version of the letter and corresponding Web site go further, for instance
with a picture of bin Laden, Chavez and Ahmadinejad. "These terror leaders also
want America to continue its foreign oil dependence," reads the caption underneath
the graphic.
Hinchey shrugged off the AAE campaign. "It's ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous," he
told E&E Daily.
"It's just funny because you can't take it seriously," Hinchey said. "They want people
to take it seriously, they want to pretend it's serious, but it's not."
Environmental groups appeared more concerned. "It's putting elected officials in our
democracy and lumping them with Osama bin Laden because these politicians do
not support opening up additional areas to oil and gas drilling," said Tyson Slocum,
director of Public Citizen's energy program. "It's not education, it's defamation."
Steve Bloch, attorney for another of AAE's targets, the Southern Utah Wilderness
Alliance (SUWA), said the message is deplorable.
"It clearly is intended to incite, and using this extreme language that is part of the
reason AAE has been panned by so many state and local governments and even
members of industry across the West," Bloch said. "To equate SUWA's work and the
efforts of over 160 members of Congress to terrorism is simply beyond the pale."
AAE President and CEO Greg Schnacke defended the link between wilderness
designations and terrorism.
"I don't think it crosses that line or any line that's inappropriate," Schnacke said.
"What the campaign highlights is the growing disconnect in this country between
politicians that are trying to enact policies that are in our view very hurtful to the
U.S. economy by hamstringing our ability to produce energy at home."
When domestic production slows, Schnacke said, "We have to import more, and
some of that money does go to governments in unfriendly countries, and some of
that money does flow through to terrorist organizations and that is a fact of life."
Who are the Americans for American Energy?
Founded in 2005, AAE is run out of the offices of Golden, Colo.-based Policy
Communications, led by president Jim Sims.
"We are a nonprofit advocacy group that educates and activates citizens on a wide
range of American energy issues," Sims said. "We do education outreach on virtually
8/25/2009
PRA GSP01 0010183
Page 3 of 4
every type of domestic energy resources, from oil and gas to nuclear to methane
hydrates to energy efficiency. We have a little bit of everything."
Policy Communications provides staff and office space for AAE on a contract basis,
but it also provides the group with reach it might not otherwise have. Sims is also
president and CEO of the Western Business Roundtable and previously served as
director of communications for Vice President Dick Cheney's energy policy task
force.
AAE president Schnacke is also listed as a senior vice president of Policy
Communications.
But with its opaque title and heated message, Americans for American Energy is a
"classic front group," said Sheldon Rampton, research director for the Center for
Media & Democracy.
"Bringing the whole 'America is at war 1 thing is an example of distracting attention
from what they want to do, which is to drill for oil, and bringing in a red-herring
issue," Rampton said. "They're as typical an example of a front group as you'll find."
Hinchey said the name doesn't fool him. "We know what they are, they're a right-
wing lobbying group that is focused on corporate profits for the oil companies," he
said.
How much support the oil industry gives is another question. As a 501(c)(4) non-
profit, AAE does not have to list its contributors. "We don't disclose our fianders, just
like the Sierra Club," Schnacke said.
AAE reported income of $165,000 to the Internal Revenue Service in 2006, and
expenditures of about $ 140,000.
The organization has received some money from the state of Alaska through
Pac/West Communications, although Sims would not say how much. In 2006, the
state paid Pac/West $3 million for a marketing campaign meant to pressure
lawmakers who are against drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge; Pac/West
used AAE as a subcontractor.
"Americans for American Energy gets its support, both financial and in-kind, from
thousands of individuals, companies and associations," Sims said. "Our contributor
list now numbers in the thousands."
Slow going on Capitol Hill
Ironically, the AAE letter could raise the profile of the Red Rock Wilderness bill in
Congress.
The wilderness bill would prohibit motorized activities such as off-road vehicle use,
oil and gas drilling, and mining in areas including the Grand Staircase-Escalante
National Monument, Capitol Reef National Park, Canyonlands National Park, Glen
8/25/2009
PRA GSP01 0010184
Page 4 of 4
Canyon National Recreation Area, and other federal lands in Utah where energy or
other development pressures exist, according to the sponsors.
Hinchey introduced the latest incarnation, H.R. 1919 . last spring. Sen. Dick Durbin
(D-Ill.) is the lead sponsor of the companion measure, S. 1170 .
Pegged by AAE as a "radical New Yorker," Hinchey said his involvement in the bill
stems from a request by the late Rep. Wayne Owens (D-Utah), who first introduced
the measure in 1989.
There are an awful lot of people in Utah who support this bill," Hinchey said.
The bills are supported by over 240 environmental groups and 171 co-sponsors, but
the Utah congressional delegation is not on board ( E&E Daily . April 19). No hearing
on the measure is scheduled in either chamber.
While the bill is pending in Congress, Sims said SUWA and others are attempting to
pressure the Bureau of Land Management to change resource management plans in
Utah to include de facto wilderness designations. Only Congress can designate
wilderness, and Sims says BLM is being driven to place lands off limits without
cause.
Despite the acrimony, Sims left the door open for a compromise at some point, so
long as the state's congressional delegation is involved.
"There probably is a deal to be made on wilderness lands in Utah, but if
representatives from the state of Utah aren't part of that process, the chance for the
support in Utah is very remote," Sims said.

No, Steve I don't agree. You think because the governor was able to give a speech yesterday it should excuse
the behavior of the Legislature. I disagree. The governor should not be accused of mis-communicating (again!)
with the Legislature when she transmitted her request to them in December. John Bitney knew then that Track
was graduating from infantry training and instead of drafting a letter to send to the Senate with the requested time
in it he sent a letter that said 7:00 pm. The miscommunication is on behalf of the House via John Bitney.
Furthermore, the Senate said that they were sticking with 7:00 because it was the "traditional" start time and so
Lyda could allow time for her members to arrive in Juneau. WHY would she then propose a 4:00 pm start time-
how would an early time leave room for her members to file in? Then in this morning's ADN article Cockerham
said the governor "bristled" at Lyda's implication of "accommodating her personal schedule." The governor did
everything in her power to COMMUNICATE and ACCOMMODATE the Legislature, and she's still blamed for the
miscommunication? Does she need to copy the media on every transmittal letter to the Legislature to show how
well she actually communicates? I mean Steve, she's the governor. She's a natural, God-Given, communicator.
And you, having sat down with her so many times, know how gracious she is with her time, how accommodating
she is, and how well she articulates her message.
Just my $.02. I respect yourobjectiveness, and the way you capture the essence of the governor's message in
your articles; however, I will continue to hold your feet to the fire. I know you wouldn't expect anything less from
me. And, 1 extend the same courtesy to you— if you see me inaccurately describing something, or if you think I'm
ever off base just let me know. I can handle the constructive criticism and can stand to hear another point of
view.

Boss,
We are coming up on another big decision on the PA request for reconsideration. The
commissioners are leaning in one direction, but would like to talk to you this weekend.
They are headed to DC Tuesday and Pat is traveling Monday, so they are requesting some of
your time on Saturday or Sunday to have a teleconference. Is that something that can work
for you? If so, is there anybody besides myself, Tibbies, and Marty that you want
involved? Remember that we had the Lt Gov involved last time.

Re: Paul Schadura - Upper Cook Inlet Folks
When I said that we had decided a few months back not to respond to a letter that was
extremely confrontational, I was referring to one particular letter from this same group
of folks that we received back in April. At that time, I thought it was better to call
them directly and try to reassure them about their concerns than draft a written response.
Sometimes a phone call and some personal contact goes a long way with fishermen and is
more effective than a written response. As I said, I plan to deal with this letter in the
same way.
I just didn't want you to have the impression that we have a policy of not responding to
letters that have a confrontational tone. I just meant that sometimes if I get a letter
like that, particularly from these guys, I just call instead.
Thanks !
Cora

I spoke with Cora today re: Paul Schadura of the Penninsula who approached you at the Capt
Cook event, she's working on a response to him and will deliver it via phone rather than
in writing.
The tone of the letter had folks in Juneau scratching their heads as to how (or whether)
to respond productively.
As far as not receiving a response, there was an informal decision made some months back
not to respond to folks who spoke in a rough term about the Governor or the
Administration. I expressed my opinion keeping the communication lines open is best,
regardless of the tone .

Subject: Invitation to McNeil River Bear Sanctuary
Governor:
Based on some previous discussions, I'm extending an invitation for you,
Tod, and two guests (e.g., your parents) to visit the McNeil River Bear
Sanctuary this coming summer.
There are preferred dates, given the seasonal behavior of bears around
the falls. Also, access is strictly controlled through allowable
numbers of people permitted in the area at any one time, in order to
provide predictable human presence to the local bears. Most permits are
issued to the public through an application and drawing process. I am
allowed, however, to issue a limited number of permits on my own
authority for special purposes.
PRA GSP01 0010201
Given all this, there are two time periods that it would be best for you
to choose from: July 25-28 (preferred) or July 13-16.
Also, because I am limited to issuing only three permits at any one
time, we would have to designate you (or Tod) as state staff, in order
to keep total group size to the control levels.
You could pick one or the other of these time periods, and you could
stay for the full four days or some smaller portion thereof. Logistics
center around flying out of Homer via small plane; also, conditions are
rustic (tents or perhaps the tool shed for lodging; camp cooking) . We
can plan all this for you.
Please let me know if you'd like to make this trip. If you don't, I'd
also like to know, so that I can issue these permit slots to other
potential parties.
I think you would very much enjoy this trip, and we'd be proud to
showcase our premier wildlife viewing project to you and your family.
Thanks, DL.

Nikolski Fuel Crisis Update - January 17th, 2008
Dear All:
An ACE charter delivered five drums of #1 heating oil, five drums of #2
marine diesel, and one drum of hydraulic fluid yesterday to Nikolski.
Homes that had been without heating oil are now warm again.
The Magone Marine vessel, the Redeemer, took on 15,000 gallons of #2
marine diesel and 11,000 gallons of #1 heating oil last night. Weather
permitting; the estimated time of arrival in Nikolski is 5pm Anchorage
time, this evening. Off-loading is intended to begin upon arrival.
A new update will follow tomorrow. Please let me know if you need any
more information.

Dear Honorable Governor Palin,
I hope you had an opportunity to look over the Native Issues calendared dates and
consider our invitation to be one of our featured speakers this legislative season.
Here is that invite:
On behalf of Central Council of Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska Office
of the President we hereby request your presence and participation as one of our

homemade delicious lunch and we would love to offer you a courtesy lunch. This

If you can speak your topic can concentrate on the different issues that you are
addressing this legislative session, promoting any cause that you would like
community participation in and/or your work and involvement with Native entities.
There will be a question period available for guests present immediately following
and the forum will conclude approximately at 1:00 PM.
We are proud of our continuing partnership with our Alaska Native Brotherhood
Camp 2 in being able to provide this popular open forum to the public. The
continued support from our legislators and local community organizations that
make the time to be part of this is very important and meaningful; with State and
Government involvement we can look forward to another successful year!

Honorable Governor Palin:
This email is in response to my earlier email request and to follow-up on my written request to your office
to include within your budget 11 million dollars for the Reynolds Creek Hydroelectric Project I am
currently in Juneau seeking funding for the Reynolds Creek Hydroelectric project and I have had
productive and receptive meetings with your special assistants and commissioners. I have met with
Commissioner Nottl, Mike Black, Joe Balush, Lynne Smith and Joellen Hanrahan. I would like to
commend them for their efforts in listening to the rural concerns and providing me with the opportunity
to work towards making our communities on Prince of Wales viable economic entities.
I would like to add Karen Rehfeld's staff has gone above and beyond in their response to my requests.
While I was frustrated with actually meeting with Karen her staff has accommodated my requests. I
would like to let you know I owe a personnel thank you to Joeleen Hanrahan, OMB's Management
Analyst.
I have hand delivered my request to your office in a letter dated January 15, 2008 with a copy to OMB,
Commissioner Notti, Joe Balush and my local legislators.
In closing, Governor Palin, I want to extend a special invitation for you to attend the village of Hydaburg's
summit, March 28, 2008, Friday, in Hydaburg, titied "Strategies to Promote Economic Development and
Capacity Building". I am excited to extend this invitation because my daughter Marissa Edenshaw, who
attends Mt. Edgecumbe, and who has met with you on energy concerns, will be co-hosting as a state-
wide student government representative. I asked Marissa how I could get you to attend and she said to
ask you. Please accept this as my personal invitation.
I am going to keep working diligently to have the Reynolds Creek Project funded. This is our future
economic hope for my children, -for my community and for the entire Prince of Wales island. I do not
believe the timing or the opportunity for our community to obtain funding to make our island a viable
economic center will happen without your help this session. The politics are thick and I'm not a
politician. I am simply a person trying to make a change in my community and for the future of my
children's children.
I hope to hear from you personally, Sarah, as this is the only way I know to communicate with you.
Please give me a call at 907 229 1540 so I can speak to you.
Hawaa-Thankyou.

Wow- this is great! And no comments? Meaning no protests to royalty agreement - that's
good to know, for when Halcro and crew gripe that we had to "buy" them to develop.
Excellent news and thanks so much for great work on getting this project moving

ENI just let us know that they have sanctioned the Nikaitchuk project. This includes new
facilities and aprox. $1,5 Billion investment. They have asked that we keep it
confidential until they can get their press release out - probably tomorrow.
Remember DNR evaluated this project and granted royalty relief based on technical and
commercial information. We received "no" comments during the public comment period.
Hope you are having a good trip* God bless. Tom

Governor Plain & ADFG:
The topic of this e-mail is the Sea Otters in the Yakutat Bay area. First of all,
introductions, I am originally from Yakutat, but live in Wasilla for work reasons. I know
just about all the folks in the city of Yakutat. The good folks have mentioned over and
over that the Sea otter population is out of control .... they have noticed that all of the
normal traditional foods (clams, crabs, mussels, sea urchin, herring eggs)are becoming very
scarces. Their complaints/concerns about the Yakutat Bay Sea Otter situation, fell on deaf
ears in the previous State Administration. Hopefully, your Adminstration is more attuned
to the needs of subsistence users. This State controls the wolf numbers, in order to help
manage their food source (moose), and this State controls the bison numbers, otherwise the
bison would depleat their food source. Further; this State destroys whole islands of
cattle, to protect bird nests... so, why cann,t this State take control of the Sea Otter
population to protect the Otte
r's nautral food source, and traditional subsistence food of the Yakutat ' s people?
Governor, if you really believe in the "subsistence issue", don,t just let it be for the
folks in the Umnak Island area.

WINTER 2008 ISSUE OF CITY JOURNAL
Sol Stern's newest City Journal article is now available online!
Stern proposes broadening the incentivist approach of market-based strategies for
improvement, to also incorporate the instructionist method of emphasizing change
to the educational curriculum.
School Choice Isn't Enough
Sol Stern, City Journal, Winter 2008
(This piece also appears on NRO Webtinks, 1-17-08 and on RealClearPolftics.com )
Recent developments in both public and Catholic schools suggest that markets in education may not b
a panacea - and that we should reexamine the direction of school reform. . .
CHck here to listen to City Journat editor Brian Anderson's interview with Sol Stern.

Bradley Effect R.I.P.
John McWhorter, New York Sun, January 17, 2007
The data are in. White voters in New Hampshire did not pretend to be for Barack Obama and then
quietly vote for Hillary Clinton . - . I call that one for the black history books, even though Mr. Obama
lost. It means that the Bradley Effect, named after the mayor of Los Angeles, Tom Bradley, who lost
the California election for governor in 1992 despite polls suggesting he would win, "has no power
here," as Glinda the good witch said about her evil sister.

The Marriage Gap
Kay Hyrnowitz, Cato Unbound, January 16, 2008
Let me begin with a slightly different description than the one given by Stephanie Coontz of where we
are marriage-wise in the United States today. She alludes to the fact that almost half of all marriages
end in divorce. She also points out that dose to 40% of children - 38% - are born to unmarried
mothers. What she does not mention is that there is a yawning class divide hidden inside these
numbers. The large majority of individuals who are divorced or who are never-married parents are low-
income and lacking a college, and in many cases a high school, degree. The large majority of middle-
class men and women, on the other hand, marry before having children and stay married while raising
them. When she assures us that marriage is not on the verge of- extinction, she's right - if you're white
and went to college. , .

I Pray That Sacrilege Is Protected
Posted by William Felkner
Rhode Island College received national attention recently when the student newspaper published a
cartoon depicting Jesus as the perfect roommate complete with smelly feet, turning water into wine
like a card-trick at the weekly keg party. Many people objected but the College was correct to say that
they wouldn't restrict the student's first amendment rights. At the University of Wisconsin in Eau
Claire, a Christian group was barred from discussing the bible in a dorm room. It's ironic that in a
country where the cardinal sin of state schools is saying prayers, sacrilege is still protected. How did
this happen? . . .

after spending a few winters in Anchorage I can now say that I think he is there to stayt

work opportunies and shortcomings with a changing environment.
I most recently read the article in the Feb 08 copy of the ALASKAN MAGAZINE on Gov Sarah
Palin and was impressed with her down to basics style of being a Governor! If possible I
would welcome the opportunity for Bryan to meet the Governor sometime at her
PRA GSP01 0010230
convenience. . .maybe just over a cup of coffee. I would like for this to be a surprise
since I know he would be upset with me if he knew I had planned this encounter! Maybe it
could be said to him that his name was mentioned of someone who would like the opportunity
to meet the Govenor of the state of Alaska I
In closing, thanks for a listening ear and I wish the best for Governor Palin and the
State of Alaska.

Hello Governor Palin -
Sorry to bother you today but I wanted to take a moment to let you know that I will be
moving to Juneau the first of April (the end of your legislative session) for the upcoming
summer through September of 2008. The reason is to have an exciting adventure in Alaska
since my retirement from Hormel Foods. The job will entail driving a tour bus for
Princess Cruise lines for visitors excursions.
Since accepting this job I have been reading up on Alaska and the Alaskan history to be
better prepared at informing our visitors of all what Alaska has to offer.
The main reason I am writing to you is to let you know that I am very impressed with you,
your responsible conservative agenda, your family and the dedication you have for your
family and job.
With knowing the fact that you are very busy, It still would be a pleasure to get the
opportunity to meet you (if only for a picture) and your family while I'm in your fine
state and say Hello. I'll cook! i I I know I would make ya all laugh - at the very least.
Take Care and Thanks for your attention Governor.
God Bless.

Hello Albert,
8/27/2009
PRA GSP01 0010238
Page 2 of 2
You received a letter from me in September stating concerns about several issues, among them the appearance
of misuse of federal funds. The issue obviously is not at the top of your priority list since I have not received a
reply nor have further inquiries been sought. After the first of the year, my plan is to share my findings (supported
with documentation) with the Anchorage Daily News, so they can investigate the matter.
You also have not addressed the Sealaska land lease to the group who are aliedgely using federal funds for
personal gain; and the gate issue.
You have three issues at hand:
1. Misuse of federal lands (alledged)
2. Sealaska land lease to the group misusing federal funds (alledged).
3. The gate on Sealaska property erected by a non-shareholder.
These are the three most pressing issues as stated in the letter sent to you in September. There were other
concerns - but these are the ones I want addressed soon.
As State Senator, you have the responsibility to address the issue of federal fraud. As Chairman of Sealaska
Board, you have responsibility to the shareholders.
Please let me know your plans so that I may plan accordingly.
Sincerely,
Tiili G. Abbott

MESSAGE :
Governor Plain & ADFG:
The topic of this e-mail is the Sea Otters in the Yakutat Bay area. First of all,
introductions, I am originally from Yakutat, but live in Wasilla for work reasons. I know
just about all the folks in the city of Yakutat. The good folks have mentioned over and
over that the Sea Otter population is out of control. .. .they have noticed that all of the
normal traditional foods (clams, crabs, mussels, sea urchin, herring eggs) are becoming very
scarces. Their complaints/concerns about the Yakutat Bay Sea Otter situation, fell on deaf
ears in the previous State Administration. Hopefully, your Adminstration is more attuned
to the needs of subsistence users. This State controls the wolf numbers, in order to help
manage their food source (moose), and this State controls the bison numbers, otherwise the
bison would depleat their food source. Further; this State destroys whole islands of
cattle, to protect bird nests... so, why cann f t this State take control of the Sea Otter
population to protect the Otte
r's nautral food source, and traditional subsistence food of the Yakutat 's people?
Governor, if you really believe in the "subsistence issue", don,t just let it be for the
folks in the Umnak Island area.
Sincerly,
Bert Bremner

Subject: Seaton and community dividend proposal
Just a heads up that Rep. Seaton came to see me yesterday with his Community Dividend
Proposal. He's going to introduce soon if he hasn't already. Basically, he wants to take 1.5
billion of this year's surplus and set it aside in a special account of the Perm Fund (Amerada
Hess was) and spin off 5% of the interest as a dividend to communities.
I listened and had a discussion with him about how the surplus will generate lots of ideas about
how to save and spend it. We discussed how there's going to have to be a process whereby
the governor and legislature have the opportunity to set these priorities together via legislation,
budgets, etc. I also pointed to the governor's proposals for sustainable funding of priorities like
the transportation/infrastructure fund and the alternative energy fund. I didn't provide any
comment one way or other about his proposal, just listened and took it in. Just for your FYI.

Subject: law school
CONFIDENTIAL
Dear Governor Palin,
I just met with Randy Ruaro for a follow up meeting on the law school concept. In the meantime I had called
John Havelock. I had placed a call to Havelock right after former Governor Hickel and his group had met with us
because Havelock's 1974 study and conclusion that a law school was inadvisable had been referenced. The next
day the Daily News ran a Havelock column, which you may have seen, that endorsed a law school. I thought the
article was possibly a coordinated effort with former Governor Hickel, it was not When I did get in touch with
Havelock he expressed surprise at the Hickel group's effort and was unaware of it He was aware of Regent
Wckersham's interest in the topic.
Havelock has changed his mind from 1974. He now believes a law school is appropriate for Alaska. He
does not endorse the Hickel private law school scenario.
There are at least three people who are promoting an Alaska law school. They are apparently
uncoordinated:
1 ) Hickel and Agiieti want to pursue a private law school. They claim they seek no state money just an
endorsement. They believe opposition from us will end their effort.
2) Havelock advocates for a state run law school, through the University. It would cost a lot, he did not
know for sure how much, but when I asked about the Agiieti estimate of $40,000,000 Havelock thought
that was plausible.
3) Wickersham would like a law school through the University of Alaska. It is unclear if his position has any
traction with the regents of which he is one. If pursued it would be a cost probably near the referenced
$40,000,000, which is that large because buildings and facilities would be a component.

Hello,
Attached are two documents that should be distributed to your employees to update them on
where we are with the tax policy for electronic listed property. The "update" document
provides some details on what has been decided and what has not. High points include:
* Department of Law is reviewing the draft policy and FAQs that were distributed in
December and evaluating them against IRS requirements. Final policy for the State of
Alaska is pending this review.
* An annual authorization form is being developed for employees and supervisors to
document the agreement on use of electronic listed property. The draft is attached, and
feedback is on this draft is appreciated.
* The delay in finalizing our policy means that employee reporting will not occur in
February as indicated in the original FAQs. However for w-2s to be accurate for 2008, the
reporting period must include January, Employees will be required to report personal use
of state-provided assets starting for the full 12 months of 2008.
* Similarly allowances can be paid for months beginning in January when a personal
cell phone or PDA is authorized for business use.
PRA GSP01 0010252
* Our substantiation standard for supporting business use of state assets will only
require an employee to identify personal use, not support all business use. This should
greatly simplify reporting.
* Logs of call detail are not required, but employees may choose to keep them to help
them identify personal calls on the cell phone invoices.
* Allowance amounts for personal assets have been set at $40 a month for cell phones
and $75 for PDAs.
* No allowance will be paid for personal laptops or home computers without a Telework
agreement .
If you or your employees have questions, concerns, or recommendations about information,
including the draft form, please contact Lisa Pusich at 465-5616 or me. Thank you for
your patience as we work through the details toward a policy we can live with.

MESSAGE:
Governor Palin,
I really admire the work you've done for Alaska. The state needs someone like you with
your vision. Also, with your family being involved in fishing you know how important the
environment and responsible hunting and fishing are. Too bad you can't come to Maryland
and be Governor. We need someone like you!
I'd love to get an autographed picture if possible. I've been collecting pictures of
people I admire for years and now that I've got a small daughter (Katya, she's almost 4.) I

collection so they can serve as role models for her.
Keep up the good work and God bless.

Subject: Update on Tax Policies for Electronic Listed Property
Hello,
Attached are two documents that should be distributed to your employees to update them on
where we are with the tax policy for electronic listed property. The "update" document
provides some details on what has been decided and what has not. High points include:
* Department of Law is reviewing the draft policy and FAQs that were distributed in
December and evaluating them against IRS requirements. Final policy for the State of
Alaska is pending this review.
* An annual authorization form is being developed for employees and supervisors to
document the agreement on use of electronic listed property. The draft is attached, and
feedback is on this draft is appreciated.
* The delay in finalizing our policy means that employee reporting will not occur in
February as indicated in the original FAQs. However for W-2s to be accurate for 2008, the
reporting period must include January. Employees will be required to report personal use
of state-provided assets starting for the full 12 months of 2008.
* Similarly allowances can be paid for months beginning in January when a personal
cell phone or PDA is authorized for business use.
* Our substantiation standard for supporting business use of state assets will only
require an employee to identify personal use, not support all business use. This should
greatly simplify reporting.
* Logs of call detail are not required, but employees may choose to keep them to help
them identify personal calls on the cell phone invoices.
* Allowance amounts for personal assets have been set at $40 a month for cell phones
and $75 for PDAs.
* No allowance will be paid for personal laptops or home computers without a Telework
agreement .
PRA GSP01 0010265
If you or your employees have questions, concerns, or recommendations about information,
including the draft form, please contact Lisa Pusich at 465-5616 or me. Thank you for
your patience as we work through the details toward a policy we can live with.

Dear All:
The Redeemer vessel began delivery this morning. During off-loading, winds picked up to gusts
of 50 to 70 mph. The vessel was using a loader as anchorage. The high winds pushed the vessel
offshore and pulled the loader into the water. The community is currently working to pull the
loader out during a -6 low tide. An estimated 1,000 gallons of #1 was offloaded before the
vessel disconnected. The vessel is returning to Dutch Harbor due to weather predictions
allowing no opportunities over the weekend. When weather allows, the vessel will return to
finish delivery. There is no evidence of any fuel loss. The fuel on hand will last until further
delivery.
A new update will follow Monday.

strategy. The Corps is coming off the heels of hosting its first Alaska
Regional Ports and Harbors Conference, and Col. Wilson will address the
goals and outcomes of that meeting, along with the importance of working
together to understand Alaska's future navigation and transportation
problems and opportunities. Ports and harbors obviously play a critical
role in all that happens in Southwest Alaska, and this will be a chance to
understand the Corps of Engineers* perspective in planning for the future
needs of the region regarding economic development, safety,
environmental protection, and resource sustainability.
Leaving Nothing to Waste
Thursday's lunch program will feature a new
_ project SWAMC has recently undertaken. The
Project for Environmental Preservation will
seek regional solutions to solid waste issues,
including backhaul programs, rural recycling,
and general waste-stream reduction. One key
component of the program will focus on the
removal of marine debris from the region.
SWAMC plans to partner with the Marine
Conservation Alliance (MCA), NOAA, and other agencies to help keep the
waters of Southwest Alaska free and clear of debris.
Bob King, Marine Debris Coordinator for MCA, will give an overview of his
work, while Hendrik Van Hemert of SWAMC will introduce the
Environmental Preservation program to SWAMC's membership. If your
community has solid waste, debris, or other environmental issues, please
let us know at the conference. We're looking to partner with groups in the
region and beyond as we get the project off the ground.
Pre-Conference Energy Workshop in Anchorage
Prior to the Annual Conference, SWAMC will hold r
a renewable energy workshop on Wednesday,
January 30th from 12:30 to 5 PM at the Hotel
Captain Cook. The aim of the workshop is to
provide practical knowledge about project
planning and financial opportunities to utility
managers, city planners and others interested in
learning how they can implement
alternative/renewable energy into their
community. Presenters include: USDA-Rural
Development, Alaska Energy Authority,
University of Alaska Fairbanks, Renewable
Energy Alaska Project, private energy
jx] wind_cows
consultants and more. Admission is free for registered Conference
attendees and $25 for non-attendees. For more information, please call
the SWAMC office at 562-7380 or email Rebekah Luhrs , Energy Project
Coordinator. Thanks to the USDA- Rural Development Alaska office for
sponsoring the workshop.
Other Panels...
In addition to the discussion forums mentioned above, there will also be
panels focusing on fisheries policy, Southwest Alaska's CDQ's, tourism
development, seafood marketing, establishing community foundations,
expanding economic and entrepreneurial opportunities and more. Lastly,

Update on Tax Policies for Electronic Listed Property - January 17, 2008
Policy on reporting personal use of electronic listed property is still being finalized.
Department of Law is reviewing what Division of Finance has proposed. Law has
confirmed that proposed policy and methods are technically compliant with IRS
requirements. But attorneys are still evaluating those requirements to see if there is a
reasonable zone of compliance that will satisfy both the IRS' objectives of ensuring that
all employee income, including income from fringe benefits, is reported, and the state's
goal of not imposing unreasonable record-keeping requirements on its employees.
Meetings with attorneys will occur next week to get to final policy decisions. More
information will be sent out as soon as possible once the decisions are made.
In the meantime, what has occurred since the draft policy framework and FAQs were
distributed on 12/24;
1 . Implementation will be delayed from the first of February for a couple of months
due to delay in finalizing policy. This does not delay the initial reporting period
of January 2008 for personal use. Employees who are using state-provided
electronic listed property will be required to report their personal use beginning
with January so that the W-2s for 2008 are correct.
2. An annual authorization form will be completed by the employee and supervisor
to document the listed property authorized, the business purpose, who owns it,
and how it will be accounted for. This form is being distributed in draft form now
for your feedback before it is finalized.
3. We are changing the requirement from substantiating each business call, to
identifying the personal calls, which makes the recordkeeping much simpler for
state-provided assets.
4. Logs will not be required by the policy. But employees will be asked to review
their cell phone invoices and identify personal calls. So if logs would help them
in this effort, they are encouraged to create them. We are looking at methods to
get each employee's cell phone bill emailed to them in Excel format for
identifying the personal calls.
5. Similarly, personal use of state-provided PDAs and laptops used outside the
business premises will need to be reported beginning with January, so employees
should maintain whatever records they consider necessary to support this
reporting requirement.
6. Proposed allowance amounts for method 4 in the policy framework are $40 for
cell phones and $75 for PDAs. Employees can get one or the other, but not both.
ETS is determining the types of PDAs that will be supported.
PRA GSP01 0010282
7. No allowances will be given for personal laptop or desktop computers unless a
formal Telework agreement is in place.
8, The value of laptops has been set at $24 a month and desktops in employee's
homes at $1 8 a month based on state Dell contract purchases. These amounts will
be multiplied by personal use percentage to determine taxable compensation or
reimbursement amount by employees for state-provided computers used outside
the business premises for method 1 in the policy framework. They will also be
used to calculate the reimbursement to employees for substantiated business use
of personal laptops for method 3. Note that personal laptops are generally
prohibited inside the state's firewall due to security concerns and the related
workload on IT staff
Additional questions or concerns should be directed to Kim Garnero at 465-3435 or Lisa
Pusich at 465-5616 in the Division of Finance.

Governor and Sharon,
For full disclosure sake, I have been contacted by Wendy Chamberlain (lobbyist for Prov
right afer the SOS) to have a brief meeting next week with her and Lori Herman of Prov to
discuss their "proposal/idea". I only promised to hear them out but that my direction is
clear from the Governor. I suspect that I may be contacted by others but I am assuming
Prov is representing many efforts — it will be interesting to find out what they may be
thinking and it may help our strategy.

Re; Update on Tax Policies for Electronic Listed Property
Ok, I hope it's good bee like you I don't want to subsidize the State's 24/7 hold on us by-
paying for email coming to my pers blackberry. And then if we expense it we lose the
privacy of our other email or calls from the same device.
I am contemplating just going to a pers cell phone. You and I would just talk more- -the
problem is though you'd have lots more than me tugging you if you don't have BB
capability.

Subject: Update on Tax Policies for Electronic Listed Property
Hello,
Attached are two documents that should be distributed to your employees to update them on
where we are with the tax policy for electronic listed property. The "update" document
provides some details on what has been decided and what has not. High points include:
* Department of Law is reviewing the draft policy and FAQs that were distributed in
December and evaluating them against IRS requirements. Final policy for the State of
Alaska is pending this review.
* An annual authorization form is being developed for employees and supervisors to
document the agreement on use of electronic listed property. The draft is attached, and
feedback is on this draft is appreciated.
* The delay in finalizing our policy means that employee reporting will not occur in
February as indicated in the original FAQs. However for W-2s to be accurate for 2008, the
reporting period must include January. Employees will be required to report personal use
of state -provided assets starting for the full 12 months of 2008.
* Similarly allowances can be paid for months beginning in January when a personal
cell phone or PDA is authorized for business use.
* Our substantiation standard for supporting business use of state assets will only
require an employee to identify personal use, not support all business use. This should
3
PRA GSP01 0010310
greatly simplify reporting.
* Logs of call detail are not required, but employees may choose to keep them to
help them identify personal calls on the cell phone invoices.
* Allowance amounts for personal assets have been set at $40 a month for cell phones
and $75 for PDAs.
* No allowance will be paid for personal laptops or home computers without a
Telework agreement.
If you or your employees have questions, concerns, or recommendations about information,
including the draft form, please contact Lisa Pusich at 465-5616 or me. Thank you for
your patience as we work through the details toward a policy we can live with.

War over oil taxes may start again
ROLt, BACK: Huggins bill would change start date, abolish limit on
deductions.
PRA GSP01 0010330

JUNEAU -- The war over oil taxes was rekindled Friday with a bill that
would roll back parts of the multibillion-dollar tax increase on the
North Slope oil companies that the Legislature passed only two months
ago .
Senate Resources Committee Chairman Charlie Huggins sponsored the bill.
It would reverse the Legislature's decision in the November special
session to make the oil tax hike retroactive to June 30.
It also would abolish the limit on how much oil companies can deduct
from their tax bill for operating costs at the Prudhoe and Kuparuk
fields. Those are the two biggest and oldest North Slope oil fields.
Huggins said putting a cap on deductions was never studied in Senate
committees before it became part of the bill. And making the tax
increase retroactive to June 30 wasn't fair, the Wasilla Republican
said,
"If I was an IRS man and said I was going to make a retroactive tax
provision for you and your neighbors and everybody else in the United
States, you would not be too happy, " Huggins said, "For us to just
summarily do that in Juneau to one of our business partners is a
questionable process." His bill would make the tax effective on Jan. 1,
2008.
Anchorage Democratic Rep. Les Gara said reversing the retroactive part
of the tax would cost the state about $600 million.
"I don
tax wouj.a cose tne state a&out: $6uu mxiiion.
' t think giving state money back to oil companies who are making
record profits is the way to go, " Gara said.
Anchorage Democratic Sen. Hollis French pledged to fight Huggins 1 SB
242. French said he expects it's going to be contentious.
"My first thought was, here we go again," said French. "I'd hoped we had
finished that debate and put it behind us."
The limit on how much the oil companies can deduct from their tax bill
PRA GSP01 0010331
was a huge issue for Democrats in the November special session on oil
taxes.
They managed to amend the tax to cap the growth in operation-expense
deduction at Prudhoe and Kuparuk to no more than 3 percent a year.
Many Democrats said they would never have voted for the oil tax without
the cap on how much companies can deduct. One problem with the previous
tax was that it wasn't bringing in nearly as much money as the state
thought it would because of rising deductions, they said.
Democrats called the cap a compromise that let them accept an oil tax on
profits.
Many really wanted a tax on the gross value of the oil -- which they
argued would be less vulnerable to manipulation by sharp oil company
accountants claiming deductions from their state tax bills.
The cap on deductions is to go away after three years unless renewed.
That's a sign lawmakers aren't comfortable with it, Huggins said, and
are worried about what it is going to do to oil production in the state.
FAST TRACK
Senate President Lyda Green sent the bill to only one committee. That's
an indication she doesn't want it held up. The bill is going only to the
Senate Finance Committee, where Sitka Republican Sen. Bert Stedman said
that he'll hold hearings on it.
The Senate passed the oil tax hike in the November special session over
the objection of majority Republicans including Green, Huggins and
Stedman. An alliance between Democrats in the bipartisan Senate majority
and Republicans in the minority caucus got the tax through.
The all-Republican minority had tried to keep the tax from being
retroactive. So they could have sympathy for Huggins 's attempt to roll
that back.
Senate Minority Leader Gene Therriault said he's surprised, though, that
Republicans in the majority want to change the oil tax again so soon.
Part of the argument in November against raising oil taxes too often was
that it creates an unstable business climate, Therriault said.
State House Speaker John Harris, R-Valdez, supported the oil tax
7
PRA GSP01 0010332
increase but did not like the fact it was retroactive, Harris said he ! d
consider Huggins 1 bill if it can make it out of the Senate but does not
know how he'd vote on it.
PALIN SURPRISED
Gov. Sarah Palin was the one who proposed the oil tax increase. Palin
administration officials were surprised to learn of Huggins' bill on
Friday .
"I think it would be something that would inspire a lot of internal
discussion," said Russ Kelly, the governor's legislative director.
The oil company BP had a cautious reaction to the proposal to get rid of
the retroactivity and the limit on how much it can deduct.
"These are two elements of the (oil) tax bill that concerned us very
much," said BP spokesman Steve Rinehart. "But we are still assessing
Senator Huggins' legislation."

Subject: AML Leg Conf next week
S~
I did send talking points to Beth on general politically correct issues for this
conference. I don't know if you are speaking or mingling, but I do know the AML will have
one major issue to push and that is the methodology of Revenue Sharing.
AML is tickled pink at your proposed 75M (as they should be, the most is in several years;
5Q% more than last year.)
AML doesn't like that Revenue Sharing is in the Capital budget. I have met with Kathy
Waserman (their CEO) and their lobbyist (I don't remember his name) and here is how I
understand their position:
AML thinks Capital budget appropriations are a method (introduced by Murkowski) that is
too vulnerable to the political wind (a fear realized with Murkowski.) They support a
statute, specifically SB72 with some amendments.
And they think the Capital budget method doesn't allow for predictability and forward
budget planning.
PRA GSP01 0010359
So, there you have it. The methodology of our Administration is what you will be asked
about more than anything else, so heads up. You probably already know, but I wanted to
make sure.

On another note, I see you're meeting with AML. Mike can brief you more
fully of course, but I am meeting with most FBX legislators and some
Finance members today regarding AML's proposal to increase the State's
share of what it is paying for PERS/TRS relief. We're doing an
assessment to see if FBX's and AML's position has any support/traction
among legislators who are most familiar with the issue.
When I visited Senator Stedman Friday, Cathie Wasserman and Ray
Gillespie were meeting with his staff Miles Baker. Senator Stedman
reaffirmed to me that he is not interested in reopening SB 125. Miles
told me he said the same thing to AML.
I'll provide an update at the end of the day today as to who all I've

met with to see if there's ANY support for the FBX and AML position of
increasing the amount of State PERS/TRS contribution.

Governor and Mike, just an update on Alaska Aerospace efforts in seeking to expand
new business opportunities to increase economic development for the state.
On January 10, 2008 AADC was awarded a competitively bid USAF
Contract for $2.7 million for a Minotaur IV launch carrying Air Force Research Lab
satellites scheduled December 2009.
AADC proposed for another Minotaur IV launch carrying Navy Research
Lab satellites scheduled September 2009; this contract is negotiated for $2.5
million and planned to be awarded next week.
AADC also received a $100,000 contract to study the transportation of the
launch vehicles to KLC with a potential contract award of up to $1 million
additional contract per launch,
♦ These launches are demonstrators for the Operationally Responsive Space (ORS)
concept for the Air Force, (i.e. rapid response launches).
♦ Existing KLC infrastructure is capable of delivering these two missions with
a single launch pad even though the schedule will be tight in 2009.
♦ However, it will be necessary to upgrade the KLC capabilities with
additional launch pad and a rocket motor storage facility to accommodate the Air
Force ORS program and continue to support our current customer the Missile Defense
Agency (MDA) .
This is a big win for Alaska Aerospace - we are moving into the major leagues now.

Big Labor, the Elections, and You
By Tom Donohue
The Wall Street Journal ran a story last week that should be a wake-up call to
the business community. The article says big labor is "growing new political
muscles" and is now "the single-strongest force in elections" outside the two
national political parties.
The unions are raising and spending more money and concentrating their
efforts on the "ground game"~that is, ensuring members of union households
vote, and vote for the union-backed candidate, who is more often than not
anti-business.

Nice Comments from MLK Day - even though you got held up...
Please pass on to Governor Palin that we were so blessed & honored that she chose to spend
time with us on yesterday for such a momentous occasion as Dr. King's birthday. Her
comments were awesome & she brings such a beautiful spirit to any room she enters. The
celebration would have incomplete without her being there. Please pass on to her that we
pray much for her & her family as she continues the journey of leading this great state.
Multiple blessings.

Nick Begich just called to let us know about the passing of Chief Marie Smith Jones, the last native speaker of the
Eyak language. She was 89 years old. Mr. Begich's wife is Sheila Slate who is the adopted daughter of Chief
Smith. Sheila and Chief Jones met the Governor at an event at the Alaska Native Heritage center just a month or
two ago. Chief Slate thought the world of the Governor, and so her family just wanted to let the Governor know of
her passing. The funeral is this Friday, with a viewing from 1 1am-1pm and funeral service at 1:00. Then they'll
have the traditional potlatch after 40 days.
Note: We h ave short staff in ANC so I don't know if we want Colleen or I can check w/Lt. Governor on attending
this service. [Privileged or Personal Material l| so we will be down to Abbey, Colleen in office on Thursday and

Goveror Palin
It has been a great disappointment to learn that "Wildlife Mitigation" fencing is not
in the ADOT budget. Last year 6 people were killed in the State of Alaska in moose auto
accidents. How many more people will be killed becase of the short changing Alaskans on
safety on the Alaska highways? Only god knows.
In my community council area we have had over 350 moose auto accidents in 14 years and
on person killed last December and that person had returned from Iraq two weeks before
that.
You had a big deal about what to do with surplus monies from oil. I think that you
need to think of highway safety in the 2008/2009 budget.
Wildlife fencing is needed in Fairbanks, Wasilla, Palmer Hay flats, Anchorage, and on
the Kenai. I know that wildlife fencing will not stop all accidents but it will inmprove
the highway safety.
This is not a fish and game issue, it is only A ADOT issue. Please leade from the
front on this issue and get good people to look closer at this issue.
Sincerely
Ronald Jordan

local officials, can we tap into your office for assistance? There are only so many hrs in
the day, we're not refusing anyone an opportunity to meet with me and/or third floor

Sharon's comment was great that those who ask will get time with me/our office. That's our

I don't want this issue to grow legs, so whatever we have to do to make sure we're not

Mayor Williams says I condemned former Govs for ignoring them - I know I have not done

Nikoiski Fuel Crisis Update - January 22nd, 2008
Dear All:
The community members of Nikoiski were able to recover the loader and
lines. They have changed the oil in the loader and need a new starter,
before determining whether or not it will be salvageable. Magone Marine
is assisting in locating a starter. The community will attempt to
develop a stronger beach anchor with local supplies. The Redeemer is in
Dutch Harbor.
The weather outlook for this week is not promising. This weekend looks
to be the nearest opportunity but the forecast will be updated as the
week progresses. APIA, APICDA, Nikoiski IRA Council, and Magone Marine
are all working closely to see that this next emergency fuel delivery
occurs. The community has an estimated two weeks of fuel remaining.
They are burning heating oil for electricity, a costly situation.
A new update will follow upon new information. Please let me know if you
need any more information.

I received a response from Gen McManus today, and I strongly disagree with the findings of
her CDI absolving all involved in the flight of an AKANG HH-60 flight into our private

I thought only the President of the United States could take a military helicopter into a

I assess the CDI report to be nothing less than a cover-up. I would like to address my

The Marine Highway system will continue to be an important part of our state's
transportation system. However, all state agencies and operations need to be fiscally
responsible when providing services to Alaskans. With fuel and labor costs continually
increasing, it is a particularly difficult challenge for the managers of the Marine
Highway to find a reasonable balance.

PWCA would like to arrange a meeting with the Governor directly to discuss our concerns
regarding equal access use of Kachemak Bay. Personal watercraft were unfairly banned from
the area under the Knowles administration. With new watercraft meeting and exceeding all

With the budget surplus, you should really look into extending the Elliot Highway that
runs from the Dalton near Fairbanks to Manley Hot Springs all the way to Tanana. Here, a
barge/ferry dock should be built with an incentive for the fuel companies to build a tank
farm at the site across the Yukon River from Tanana, This project could potentially
provide for significant savings regarding the future federal and state expenditures. More
importantly, I believe that the project could reduce the cost of living or at least
slow/stop the annual rise in costs of goods and services for the 19+ villages along the
Yukon .

Center for Women's Business Research
Urges SBA to Revise Its Federal Contracting Plan for Women
Business Owners
Washington, DC - The Center for Women's Business Research, the premier non-profit
research institute dedicated to producing data-driven knowledge exclusively on women
business owners and their enterprises, has submitted testimony to the House Small Business
Committee strongly opposing the recent U.S. Small Business Administration proposed rule
regarding federal contract opportunities for women-owned businesses.
Even a cursory review of 2002 data suggests a much broader incidence of under-representation
within almost every industry than the SBA report, The Utilization of Women-Owned Small
Businesses in Federal Contracting, has selected. The result of this proposed ruling would be to
hold contracting with women-owned businesses to a more stringent standard than any other
segment of the small business community that has federal contracting goals.

"As researchers ourselves, we know that turning research into actionable knowledge is as much about
knowing what data will answer the real-world questions as it is about methodology," said Margaret A.
Smith, chair, Center for Women's Business Research. "We strongly urge the SBA to go back to the
drawing board and with greater participation from women business owners and the organizations that
represent them, to develop a plan that ensures the full participation of women-owned businesses in our
nation's economic future,"
Using the findings from a study conducted by the Rand Corporation, the SBA selected from among the
many options presented the MOST restrictive definition of industries in which women business owners
are under-represented. The proposed ruling restricts the industries where women-owned businesses
are considered under-represented to four very narrowly defined industries:
• cabinet making;
• coating and engraving;
• national security and international affairs; and,
• other motor vehicle dealers (all terrain vehicles).
The result is that out of the 6.5 million (2002 U.S. Census Bureau data) majority (51%) or more women-
owned businesses, only 1 ,247 could potentially benefit from the program.
Looking only at the 6.5 million businesses cited in the 2002 Census that are majority (51% or more)
women-owned, we find such large discrepancies between the incidence of women-owned businesses
in each major industry category and the percent of contracting dollars that go to women-owned
businesses that it is apparent that women business owners are under-represented in Federal
contracting across the board.
For example, while women-owned businesses represent more than half of the businesses in Health
Care and in Educational Services, they receive only 7% of the Federal contracting dollars in Health
Care and about 2% of the Federal contracting dollars in Educational Services.
In industries that are considered less traditional for women-owned businesses we see the same
differences, such as:
• Utilities (14% of the businesses are women-owned but women-owned businesses receive only
1% of Federal contract dollars);
• Manufacturing (7% of the businesses vs. less than 2% of Federal contract dollars); and,
• Transportation (12% of the businesses vs. less than 1% of Federal contract dollars).
The size of the women-owned businesses or their readiness for Federal contracting cannot account for
the magnitude of these differences.
Women are starting businesses at twice the rate of all businesses. The Center for Women's Business
Research estimates that as of 2006, there are 7.7 million businesses majority (51%) owned by women,
which generate more than $1 trillion in revenues and provide employment for 7.1 million people.

"The growth of these businesses is essential to this nation's economic vitality and competitiveness,"
added Margaret Smith. "Federal contracting is critical to the sustainable growth of these economic
contributors."
As early as 1994, a study by the SBA's Office of Advocacy showed that women-owned businesses that
received Federal contracts were more likely than other women-owned businesses to show consistent
growth. More recent research by the Center for Women's Business Research shows that having
government contracts continues to be one of the key factors differentiating the larger, faster growing
women-owned businesses from the smaller businesses.
The Center's research also documents that fully 20% of women who own businesses in ''non-
traditional" industries report that being a woman is detrimental in accessing markets.

Hi Governor,
Rep. Lindsey Holmes was the lone nay vote,
She had earlier offered an amendment to allow an exception for the
health of the mother. Her argument was that consideration should be
given in the event of a mother of five children whose health could be
seriously jeopardized by the unborn sixth child to such an extent that
she would be unable to care for her other children. The amendment was
defeated with Rep. Holmes being the only yea vote. Arguments against the
amendment varied but probably the most compelling was that a cesarean
could be preformed in situations where the health of the mother was at
risk and the unborn child would at least have a chance of survival.
I hope this is helpful. Let me know if you have any other questions,
-Mindy

Year Two Report Finds Merit Pay Has Positive Effects on Students
Study of Little Rock schools in program reveals higher test scores for students, mixed attitudes
from teachers.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - An evaluation of a teacher pay-for-performance program in Little
Rock finds that it produces significant gains in student performance on standardized tests.
The Achievement Challenge Pilot Project (ACPP) at five elementary schools in Little Rock
elementary schools offered teachers and staff substantial bonuses that vary depending on the
level of increases in student achievement in each teacher's classroom.
Gary Ritter, who holds an endowed chair in education policy at the University of Arkansas, will
present the findings of this study at a news conference at 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, January 22 at the
Peabody Hotel, in Little Rock. The full report is available at
http://uark.edu/ua/der/Research/meritj)ay/year__two.html.
According to researchers in the UA department of education reform, students in schools where
the program operated in 2006-2007 enjoyed greater learning gains than their comparable peers
did in three subject areas on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills. Specifically, students in the merit pay
schools improved by nearly seven percentile points in math, by nine percentile points in
language, and by six percentile points in reading.
In the ACPP merit pay program, teachers could earn a bonus worth as much as $1 1,000. In 2005-
2006, teachers and staff at Meadowcliff were awarded bonuses totaling $200,926, while those at
Wakefield received $228,300 in performance bonuses. For the 2006-2007 school year, the
program was expanded to include three more elementary schools: Geyer Springs, Mabelvale and
Romine. The program began at Meadowcliff in 2004-2005, and Wakefield was added in 2005-
10/29/2009

2006.
Also according to the UA researchers, surveys of teachers at participating and comparison schools found
that attitudes were mixed about the program's effects. The ACPP teachers, in general, did not indicate
being more innovative or working harder, despite the fact that these are two oft-cited potential benefits
of merit pay plans. However, teachers in schools that participated for multiple years in the ACPP
reported being more satisfied with their salaries than their peers in first-year ACPP schools, and
comparable nonparticipating schools. With regard to the frequently cited potential disadvantages of
merit pay programs, the ACPP teachers did not report divisive competition, suffering from a negative
work environment, or shying away from working with low-performing students. Teachers in the three
schools implementing merit pay for the first time in 2006-2007 did highlight some problems with the
implementation of the program, which resulted in their discontent and decreased program support. In
general, however, ACPP teachers reported being more effective teachers than their comparable peers in
non-ACPP schools.
"Our two years of analysis of test data in ACPP schools in Little Rock reveal consistent findings:
students of teachers who are eligible for performance bonuses enjoy academic benefits. Further, many
of the criticisms of merit pay programs simply have not proven true in Little Rock," Ritter said.
The study was supervised by Ritter, director of the Office for Education Policy in the department of
education reform, Jay P. Greene, who holds the endowed chair in education reform, along with graduate
students and researchers in the department, also participated in the evaluation. The research team has
been examining the program over the past two years, with the year two study incorporating a larger
sample size of students and teachers to determine whether the initial benefits, found in the first
evaluation, persist. The program is funded by the Little Rock School District, the Little Rock Public
Education Foundation, the Walton Family Foundation, the Hussman Foundation and the Brown Family
Foundation. Financial support for the evaluation was provided by the Walton Family Foundation.

Dear News Folks & Governor Palin,
Aren't you getting just a bit tired of the space given to Sarah's beauty?
It was stale weeks ago, and yet it seems that her beauty still makes the
headlines. Talk about FLUFF reporting. Lets try some serious political
journalism. Try talking about real life! Newsworthy subjects that are
interesting, informative and could actually be productive.
Did Ak Magazine pay you guys to promo the upcoming issue?
I have NEVER seen such sexist reporting, or promoting. You are supposed
to be a NEWS paper, not the society page. Have you ever printed an
article about how good looking and cute Tony Knowles is., or any Governor
we ever had? Why doesn't Lisa Murkowski get to have feature articles
and editorials written about her beauty and hot looks? (Ok, maybe that is
because she doesn't have any... I'll bet she is jealous that you give the
attention to Sarah while she is the wallflower that isn't even noticed
unless she is taking a favor or bribe )
We might as well have a calendar published of Sarah for the guys to
mount on the wall of all the state Dept. of Hwy. repair shops and
janitorial storage closets.... just like the WWII pin-ups. Maybe one of
the "First Guy" for us gals too? (He is a hunk.)
Come on, lets get off this "Hot Gov." kick and have the space given to real
news. Let our Governor do her job, without the distraction usually
produced by adolescent boys.

But First Dude... He's a Super HUNK!
A view so fresh that none would try,
less they went to Wasilla High!
Her style of playing Politics
Is sort of like a Braxton Hicks.,..
It fakes you out and hurts like hell...
But in the end, it comes out well.
Until her term comes to an end,
There is nothing that she can't transcend.

1. EUROPE TO ADD 100 NEW WASTE-TO-ENERGY PLANTS BY
2012
A recent report projects that 100 new waste-to-energy plants will come on

line In Europe by 2012 resulting in a capacity increase of sonie 13 million
tonnes. According to the report's author, consulting firm Frost & Sullivan,
waste management In Europe is no longer a haulage and disposal
business. Legislative shifts of the past decade have driven the adoption of
advanced technology and Innovative recycling solutions. Despite the
importance of recycling and waste minimization, waste-to-energy is seen
as the only viable large scale alternative to landfills. The high capital costs
required and complex energy partnerships involved are driving a shift
away from traditional public ownership of the plants in favor of industry
privatization. It also explains why there are only about 200 to 250 players
in the sector (as of 2007) compared with other waste management
segments. According to Frost & Sullivan's John Raspin, "It is inevitable
that we will see further consolidation of the market and that investors
from a whole range of backgrounds will continue to be drawn to this
sustainable growth market.". .Read More »
2. ABU DHABI PLEDGES $15 BILLION TO RENEWABLE ENERGY
The Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, capital gf the United Arab Emirates,
pledged to invest US$15 billion in renewable energy and other
sustainability projects. The investment will be channeled through the
Masdar Initiative, a company that aims to explore, develop and
commercialize future energy sources, especially those that involve solar,
wind and hydrogen power; carbon reduction and management;
sustainable development; education; manufacturing; and research and
development Masdar will leverage the government's initial investment

facilities
New Jersey Senator Frank R. La u ten berg and others gathered to announce
the enactment of a one-year provision that allows states and
municipalities to force cleanup of solid waste facilities along rail lines
which had previously been exempt from state and local regulation. Up
gntil now such "transfoading" facilities by virtue of their association with
the railroads, have avoided the increased costs and environmental
controls required under state and local regulation. As a railroad they are
regulated by the Surface Transportation Board (STB) under the
Department of Transportation, which preempts state and local laws. Under
Senator tautenberg, Congress has been moving to close this unintended
loophole by crafting specific legislation called the Clean Railroads Act of
2007 which aims to make the provision permanent. Without the provision,
the courts and federal agencies had little choice but to uphold the
exemption of these rail-based trans) oading facilities. In New jersey
alone,there are more than 16 current and proposed such sites.. .Read

4. WHITE BIRCH PAPER ACQUIRES SP NEWSPRINT FOR $350M
SP Newsprint Co, a privately held producer and recycter of newsprint, said
it agreed to be bought by affiliates of Peter Brant, who is the controlling
shareholder of White Birch Paper Co, for $350 million in cash. SP
Newsprint is owned in an equal, general partnership by affiliates of Cox
Enterprises Inc, Media General Inc and The McClatchy Co. McClatchy
recently acquired the even larger Knight-Ridder newspaper chain requiring
considerable debt. White Birch is the second largest producer of newsprint
in North America. SP is the fifth largest producer of newsprint and the
second largest producer of 100 percent recycled newsprint. SP produces
about 1 million metric tons annually for which it generated sales of $638
million in 2006, the latest year for which figures are available. Industry
consolidation is being driven in part by a declining newsprint market from
lower newspaper demand, which fell 20 percent in 2006. But, economies-
of-scale are at work too... Read More »

5. O'AHU TO EXPAND WASTE-TO-ENERGY PLANT AND SHIP
WASTE TO MAINLAND
For now it appears that O'ahu, Hawaii will abandon plans to build a new
waste-to-energy facility and will instead add a third boiler to its H-Power
waste-to-energy plant. The third boiler could be added relatively quickly,
by 2011, and would cost $100 million less than a new facility. Mayor Mufi
Hannemann also announced plans to ship excess waste to the mainland as
early as next year. The primary goal is to reduce dependence on the
controversial Waimanato Gulch near Kahe Point. H-Power currently
employs 2 huge boilers that collectively burn 600 thousand tons of waste
per year and generate 46 megawatts of electricity. The resulting ash
necessitates that the landfill remain open as long as possible... Read More »

The City of Corpus Christi, Texas has opened a new $4 million transfer
station at the site of its recently closed Elliott landfill. Also replacing the
Elliott landfill is the new $29 million Cefe F. Vaienzuela landfill 12 miles
away. It opened on October 28 with a permitted capacity of 130 million
cubic yards. The transfer station is expected to reduce travel time and fuel
costs by keeping the heavy collection vehicles off the expressway. Elliott
reached its 16 million cubic yards of capacity last November... Read More »
7. GEORGIA POWER CONTRACTS WITH BIOMASS PLANT
Georgia Power has signed a 20-year contract with renewable power
company Yellow Pine Energy Company, LLC to supply energy from a
biomass-fired facility. The 110 megawatt facility will go into operation in
2010 and will be fueled by timber harvesting residuals and collection of
non-commercial tree species, tree-thinnings, lumber scraps and wood
waste reclaimed from landfills. Georgia Power has committed to purchase
half of the plant's capacity, or about 50 MW...Read More »

expected to reduce the need for oil lubricants by as much as 28%.

Pis read this morning's ADN blog re: my "refusal" to meet with Mayors and others... incl
complaints about not responding to letters/communications.
Please don't respond that we need to just ignore blogs and/or gripes like this. The ADN
blog is at least a forum for Alaskans to get their message across to us ,
Obviously we need to do better * if it's true that Mayors were polled and 95 percent of
them say we've never communicated back to them {as it sounds like AML members were asked
yesterday at their mtg) , then we have a problem. As far as I know I have met with every
Mayor who's asked.., this means either I'm not being told of other requests, or we're
dropping the ball somewhere, or there's some gross exageration on someone's part.
We must step up and allow as many constituents to meet as possible - even if that means my
continued cancellation and/or rearranging internal staff issues to do so. We need
constituents to know - esp these Mayors who are on a tear on this - that we're working
hard for them.

Frank- if there's only a few days left to put names forward to leggies to fill b and c
spots, do you want ivy to come help for a day or two? I haven't asked her yet, but knowing
her (and Annette who'd be generous to help out by lending Ivy) she'd be willing. I'm
guessing.
Leggies aren't going to give us any breaks, so the sooner we get names in front of
them, the better. They'll be looking for reasons to ding us this session.
This wk is packed with AML folks coming and going into my office, but I've tried to
clear a big chunk of time to get b and c issues time to be addressed. Thanks

MESSAGE ;
Dear Ms. Palin,
I am an Alaskan mom with 5 children, and I am writing to urge you to officially endorse
Mike Huckabee, Former Governor of Arkansas, for President.
Governor Huckabee is and always has been staunchly pro-life. He is the most consistently
and fervently pro-life candidate in the race. He believes that Roe v. Wade should be
overturned. He is opposed to research on embryonic stem cells. He supports a Human Life
Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and he passed pro-life legislation
while governor of Arkansas.
PRA GSP01 0010458
In addition, he has calmed fears about his electability. Finishing first in Iowa, third in
New Hampshire, third in Michigan, and a very close second in South Carolina, he has
clearly proven to be one of the main contenders for the Republican nomination.
Furthermore, he is either leading or competitive in the polls of numerous states which
vote on Super Tuesday.
With the constraints of a modest budget and a lack of inherent name recognition, Governor
Huckabee would benefit tremendously from your support. Moreover, as Super Tuesday
approaches quickly, when over twenty states, including Alaska, will choose their
candidates on the same day, Governor Huckabee needs as much national media coverage as
possible. You could greatly assist in this area with an announcement of your endorsement.
Thank you for your time. I sincerely hope that you will choose to endorse Governor Mike
Huckabee for President of the United States.

Re: ADN
Yeah- the point with my frustration was that 1) Privil^ would have Privileg forward it to a group
of people (many I do not know), and 2) that someone from that group would immediately leak
it to the ADN,
Annette believes she can find the sender - hopefully tomorrow,

Ok, now it's my turn to say I'm sorry. I just saw the whole ADN blog on that letter from
Mike. I didn't realize when you and I were corresponding earlier that it also contained
your email in the trail beneath his. That should NEVER have happened. OUCH!

My two cents... the email looks like it was written with the possibility of disclosure in
mind. It's very clean, communicates the message well that fits with who you are, but is
also good for public consumption. That doesn't mean you did it, or even that he intended
it that way--just that he took precautions knowing disclosure was possible. How's that for
believing the best of someone?

MESSAGE :
Dear Ms. Palin,
I am an Alaskan mom with 5 children, and I am writing to urge you to officially endorse
Mike Huckabee, Former Governor of Arkansas, for President.
Governor Huckabee is and always has been staunchly pro-life. He is the most consistently
and fervently pro-life candidate in the race. He believes that Roe v. Wade should be
overturned. He is opposed to research on embryonic stem cells. He supports a Human Life
Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and he passed pro-life legislation
while governor of Arkansas.
In addition, he has calmed fears about his electability. Finishing first in Iowa, third in
New Hampshire, third in Michigan, and a very close second in South Carolina, he has
clearly proven to be one of the main contenders for the Republican nomination.
Furthermore, he is either leading or competitive in the polls of numerous states which
vote on Super Tuesday.
With the constraints of a modest budget and a lack of inherent name recognition, Governor
Huckabee would benefit tremendously from your support. Moreover, as Super Tuesday
approaches quickly, when over twenty states, including Alaska, will choose their
candidates on the same day, Governor Huckabee needs as much national media coverage as
possible. You could greatly assist in this area with an announcement of your endorsement.
PRA GSP01 0010505
Thank you for your time. I sincerely hope that you will choose to endorse Governor Mike
Huckabee for President of the United States.

Dear Governor Palin,
The recent request from villagers desiring the right to kill wolf pups in their den
disturbs me. I request you not allow this as a means of wolf control.
I understand they are seeking this as a means to bring moose populations back to what they
once were, but I believe multiple factors have reduced the moose population. It is wrong
to go on a killing spree of these newborn pups in a misguided attempt in bringing moose
numbers up.
I stongly oppose killing wolves in their dens
Sincerely,

Subject: UAA/AST SA Study
UAA Justice Center and AST completed a "Descriptive Analysis of Sexual Assault Incidents
Reported to Alaska State Troopers 2003-2004."
This is NOT in response to the Amnesty International Report (that was mostly anecdotal and
crafted with erroneous conclusions), but rather something that was put in motion prior. Nor is it
inclusive of all Alaskan jurisdictions, like Anchorage, Fairbanks, etc. who have their own police
departments to investigate sexual assaults.
This study was meant to give an objective view on how we are doing, and there are some areas
that AST must improve, but this provides a good baseline.
This also can be the platform in which we later launch our Sexual Assault Vertical Prosecution
Plan, hopefully in 2010.
This is just a heads up for the announcement and upcoming press conference.

I would like to speak in person with you about our veterans who are both old and young,
who have fought and are and are fighting on foreign soil. This is an issue that is non-
partisan and was started before Knowles went out of out of office -that Murkowski washed
his hands of but made sure to make a partisan issue of within quick time- and which is
never going to be an issue here in the Anchorage Bowl/Matsu Valley, but is beyond your
wildest nightmare in the rest of the state.
I pray you will see me.

P.O. Box 10020
Juneau, Alaska 99811 - 0020
Dear Director Rehfeld,
Please find attached our November 21, 2007 funding request to the Honorable
Governor Sara Palin. We have been encouraged to resubmit our second funding
request to you at this time.
As stated in our November letter, the 2.5 million dollar request was contingent
upon receipt of federal funding. The amount of our federal earmark was originally
$916,000. The adjusted amount is now $641,000 and is, at present, being
challenged. We have every indication that we will receive this funding, and as such,
we are reducing our state funding request accordingly, to 1.9 million dollars.
Chris Rainwater, AACD President, and other members of AACD would like to meet
with Governor Palin and Commissioner Tom Irwin to discuss in detail the funding
request and the proposals in our November 21st letter. This meeting is very
important to us and we can be available to meet with Governor Palin and her staff
in Anchorage, Wasilla, Juneau or any place she designates, from February 18th
thru March 26th. Please contact our Executive Director, Eric Wade at 357-4563
Ext 110 in our Wasilla Office, or myself at bvehrs@aci.net , 907-892-8258/907-
232-6887 at your earliest convenience to set up a date if at all possible. Thank
you very much for your consideration.

Sharon/Beth- I wish the AP would have been fair in this story and asked more datails. I'd
be happy to talk to reporters about this type of issue - or any other issue. Mayor
Williams is the one who's cancelled mtgs on US, he's hung up on us, he followed me out of
the AHL mtg and stood there while I spoke to the two reporters yet wouldn't speak to me.
He's the mayor who invited me to come to his house for dinner - I spike with him on a
plane - he did not like that I told him it's tough to schedule dinners like he was
requesting when I didn't have a calendar in front of me. We've tried to coommunicate with
him since that, he's refused to communicate.
The other AMI* official quoted in the story has never contacted us for any mtg.
Please take the opportunity to clarify with reporters, or if reporters want to speak with
me on this or any other issue, send them my way please.

Williams from the Peninsula is the one office that I have heard
PRA GSP01 0010514
complaints from.
Mayor Williams from Ketchikan has not requested a meeting with you while
he is in town this week.. He cancelled a meeting that he had with Randy
Ruaro yesterday. Mayor Williams (KTN) has also been given a meeting
time with you in JNU previously and cancelled.
We have not had a request from Tim Beck for this week. Janice

Sharon's comment was great that those who ask will get time with me/our

I don't want this issue to grow legs, so whatever we have to do to make

they're being ignored - we'll do it.
Mayor Williams says I condemned former Govs for ignoring them - I know I
have not done that and it'd be refreshing if reporters asked for facts
to back up complaints like that... but anyway we'll keep trying to plug
local officials into the schedule as best we can - even if that means
cancelling other internal mtgs or outside speeches. Thanks

Governor ;
I can clarify the situation with Mayor Joe Williams from Ketchikan,
1. Mayor Williams was offered a meeting with the Governor in Juneau a
few days to a week after the announcement on the bridge. He refused.
2. I spoke with Mayor Williams about a month ago about his request for
the Governor to come to Ketchikan. He said any trip by the Governor
should occur under his terms which were
a) the Governor fly to Ketchikan in the morning and meet with local
officials. He said he would need at least 7 days notice and I think he
wanted to schedule the meeting with local leaders as an official joint
Borough Assembly and City Council meeting. The only topic would be
Gravina and AMHS issues.
b) After that the Governor stay in town throughout the day and attend a
public meeting that evening. The only topic would be Gravina.
c) Mayor Williams demanded that Commissioner Von Scheben and Deputy
Commissioner Hardy accompany the Governor because he was upset with some
actions by AMHS and wanted to address those in front of the Governor and
the Assembly and Council at the early meeting.
3. I have been working with the lobbyist for the Borough for 2-3 weeks
to try and meet with Mayor Williams to talk about a trip for the
Governor that would be shorter in time (maybe 1 to 1 and l/2 hours) at a
different location than City Hall, and would include a broader agenda
with positive points such as funding for Swan Lake - Tyee intertie,
school funding, PERS / TRS funding, Capital budget appropriation for
2
PRA GSP01 0010519
Schoenbar middle school, etc.
I had a meeting scheduled for yesterday at noon to discuss this but
Mayor Williams cancelled at the last minute.
I also do not think he has even requested a meeting with the Governor in
Juneau, although he has been here in Juneau for over a week.
I will keep working with the Borough Lobbyist and Mayor Williams on a
reasonable alternative for a visit to Ketchikan.
Randy

It's a scorcher. Mayor Williams 1 complaint (and Tim Beck's) that I
won't/didn't spend time w/ the Mayors... sheeeesh. . .
Sharon's comment was great that those who ask will get time with me/our
office. That's our committment.
I don't want this issue to grow legs, so whatever we have to do to make
sure we're .not double -booking or ignoring Mayors who will scream that
4
PRA GSP01 0010526
they're being ignored - we'll do it.
Mayor Williams says I condemned former Govs for ignoring them - I know I
have not done that and it'd be refreshing if reporters asked for facts
to back up complaints like that... but anyway we'll keep trying to plug
local officials into the schedule as best we can - even if that means
cancelling other internal tntgs or outside speeches. Thanks

I was thinking Mike had the foresight to plan for the possiblity that someone would leak since he signed the letter
to a large group like that. Again, that doesn't mean he planned it-rather, he might have planned for and protected
against the possibility as best he could with a clear, positive message like what went out. Am i just being naive?

My two cents...the email looks like it was written with the possibility of disclosure in mind. It's very clean, communicates the

he intended it that way-just that he took precautions knowing disclosure was possible. How's that for believing the best of

Dear Director Rehfeld,
Please find attached our November 21, 2007 funding request to the Honorable
Governor Sara Palin. We have been encouraged to resubmit our second funding
request to you at this time.
As stated in our November letter, the 2.5 million dollar request was contingent
upon receipt of federal funding. The amount of our federal earmark was originally
$916,000. The adjusted amount is now $641,000 and is, at present, being
challenged. We have every indication that we will receive this funding, and as such,
we are reducing our state funding request accordingly, to 1.9 million dollars.
Chris Rainwater, AACD President, and other members of AACD would like to meet
with Governor Palin and Commissioner Tom Irwin to discuss in detail the funding
request and the proposals in our November 21st letter. This meeting is very
important to us and we can be available to meet with Governor Palin and her staff
in Anchorage, Wasilla, Juneau or any place she designates, from February 18th
thru March 26th. Please contact our Executive Director, Eric Wade at 357-4563
Ext 110 in our Wasilla Office, or myself at bvehrs@aci.net . 907-892-8258/907-

Subject: Press
It's been suggested by media that I have regular press availabilities - not so much formal
press confs, but more casual availability. I'm game for that. I'd think gasline and budget
will be brightest on radar screens next week, so let's plan on inviting those two topics
for discussion - meaning I'd like AGIA and budget folks to join me in the discussions.
Sharon and Beth can set up - ideally early in week when AGIA team arrives in Juneau.
Let's anticipate other topics and have appropriate personnel available to help cover
issues that the press wants to share with Alaskans during these press functions. Thank
you!

My two cents, . .the email looks like it was written with the possibility of disclosure ij
mind. It's very clean, communicates the message well that fits with who you are, but is
also good for public consumption. That doesn't mean you did it, or even that he intended
it that way- -just that he took precautions knowing disclosure was possible. How's that for

Re: AGIA
Thanks Marty. It's been amazing how folks misinterpret our AGIA stedfastness. I f m
convinced that some of these entities that want Alaskans to believe that we won't allow
the public to hear their proposals will put the nail in their own coffin once Alaskans see
and hear their proposals. I don't want Alaskans to think we fear their public discussion
of competing ideas - and some are spinning this horribly. I know you know this - and I
appreciate you letting the public know we're not deaf to ideas other than TC's - in fact
other ideas are encouraged to be debated, but AGIA dictates TC ! s plan be considered be of
its conformity.

MESSAGE :
Governor Palin,
I found it interesting that the Senate (and Legislature) could not accomodate your request
for changing the time of the State of the State address since this was to ensure you could
make the plane for Track's graduation from boot camp. This request seemed reasonable,
timely, and offered a sublte opportunity for our representatives to make a statement on
duty, country, the war, and family.
Instead, certain folks made it seem like they had to make a stand for whatever reason
Sorry about that.
Thanks for your work and representation.

Hey, Govorner Sarah Palin. This is Daniel Brown. I was the MidValley High School student
that you served food with at the 16th Annual Christmas Friendship Dinner. I wanted you to
know, that was a great experience for me. It is such a good feeling doing things for
others. I am glad you were able to take time out of your busy schedule to help with
something so important to the Mat-Su Valley. That is why I would like to invite you and
your family to participate in MidValley High School's 5th Annual Trail of Remembrance on
Saturday, May 10th. The Trail of Remembrance is a 5k walk, run, or bike. Each participant
is able to honor a Veteran of their choice. All honoree names are put on individual signs
that are displayed marking the trail each year. The trail starts at Big Lake Napa and ends
in our school parking lot in the Meadow Lakes City Center. The money raised is split
between our school and local veterans. This money helps our school provide students with
opportunities to go to differ
ent conferences, as well as supplement bur prom and graduation. Your support would be
greatly appreciated by all MidValley students, as well as the local veterans. If you have
time to reply, please use this staff e-mail: valerie.goodwin@matsukl2 .us, or the school
contact information. I want to thank you again, for your time, and all your support here
in the valley.
Sincerely,

<http://www.adn.com/static/includes/alaskapolitics/012307-hickel-gottstein.pdf> > Here's a
letter Wally Hickel and David Gottstein sent Gov. Sarah Palin urging reconsideration of
her finding that TransCanada has the only pipeline proposal to qualify under the Alaska
Gasline Inducement Act .
"The decision of your administration will likely increase frustration with AGIA and
result in rejection by the legislature," the letter says.
The Alaska Gasline Port Authority, which proposes a gas pipeline to Valdez, has asked
Palin to reconsider rejecting its plan. Palin spokeswoman Sharon Leighow told me that the
administration believes there is no provision in AGIA for reconsideration. Palin' s gas
team has passed it onto the department of law for a formal ruling on that.

MESSAGE :
Communication appears to be a timely issue within the executive branch. With respect
offered and public service in mind, I submit this editorial I wrote in the Frontiersman. I
hope it helps the dialog towards positive out comes for all. Catherine
Effective communication must be cultivated
By Catherine Mormile
Spectrum, January 22, 2008
As a healthcare provider, I feel compelled to comment after last week's incident of
communication conflict between Governor Palin, state Rep. John Harris and state Sen.
Green over scheduling of the State of the State address this past week.
Lyda
This seemingly small incident, but unresolved communication conflict, appears to have
culminated in belittling of Senator Green by two Anchorage radio announcers in the
presence of Governor Palin, to which she did not stop or disagree with the insults, but
just laughed. Such errors in communication have been known to cause unnecessary
interpersonal conflicts.
Communication error and misunderstandings between individuals account for nearly 70
percent of the conflicts, loss of productivity, job dissatisfaction and loss of personal
well-being in the workplace. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has
PRA GSP01 0010587
determined that workplace conflict with loss of personal sense of well-being contributes
to incidences of depression, obesity and low fitness levels. Nearly 10 million U.S.
workers complain each year of work-related head and neck pains. One of the main causes
cited for such pains are the consequences of improper communication.
Over the last 50 years, the terms "health" and "healthcare" have undergone changes in
definition and application. Health, once defined as absence of disease, is now defined as
a physical, mental and social process of an individual to enjoy quality of life and
satisfaction. Healthcare systems now favor an active rather than passive process by which
patients are encouraged to become more aware of factors that relate to healthy living and
to participate in demonstrating choices and behaviors that promote a more successful
existence.
In December 2007, the governor's Alaskan Health Care Strategies Planning Council
identified a key healthcare goal of promoting personal health responsibility. Governor
Palin reiterated the importance of personal health responsibility in her recent State of
the State address. Practicing effective interpersonal communication skills are essential
behaviors that directly promote health and well-being. Ineffective communication skills,
on the other hand, are detriments to health.
Ineffective communication may take the form of mechanical error, in that the speaker may
not wait to obtain feedback the listener actually heard or understood the message or
request. Or, the listener may. be so intent on getting a message heard he or she is not
perceiving what is being said to them. In both cases there is an expectancy of being heard
by the other and little or no effort put into making sure the message was understood. This
is the old I-assumed-you-heard-me communication error. In this case, misunderstandings
could be avoided by making sure the message is clear and understandable, that the listener
is attentive and receptive, and that adequate feedback is obtained.
Other barriers to effective communication take the form of attitude bias. It appears human
nature for people to form prejudgments and expectancies of how others should or will
behave, and to be upset when things do not turn out as expected. Once expectancies are
formed in a person's mind, the prejudgments become the filter through which the individual
chooses to view communication exchanges. Therefore, the communication process becomes
erroneous because the emotional aspects of prejudgment prevented the listener from
actually hearing, perceiving and weighing the merits of the objective evidence presented
by the speaker.
I am not proposing a person totally ignore previous judgments and perceptions; rather, to
separate the emotional from the actual message, weigh the two for their merits, ask
questions and seek feedback for clarifications, then make a decision based on evidence,
not emotion.
Assuring proper mechanics of communication by actively stopping to reflect upon a
preexisting emotional bias while separating away the objective message is an essential
skill required in healthy interpersonal exchanges, promotion of healthy behaviors and
leadership.
The last essence of proper communication is contained within the intent and delivery of
the speaker. My mentor and friend, the late Louise Kellogg of the Spring Creek Farm in
Palmer, taught me three principles she used for effective communication: 1. Seek to
understand before demanding to be understood; 2. Honor those who are not present; 3.
Determine whether the communication effort will promote goodwill and positive outcomes for
PRA GSP01 0010588
all involved, These are good principles to live by indeed.
Improvements of cooperation and communication skills have been identified as essential
issues to work on this year by legislators, the governor and residents. Like any behavior,
it must be patiently nurtured and practiced by all as old habits are replaced. This will
be a slow process, but an effective one. As Mark Twain wrote in 1896, "Habits are not to
be thrown out the upstairs window, but coaxed down the stairs one step at a time."

Governor,
At the 1/11 AIDEA/AEA meeting in your office we committed to vet and interview potential candidate(s) for the

spoken with Steven Haagenson regarding his interest to head up the State's Energy Plan overseeing the AEA.
His qualifications as Leo put it, would be difficult to beat. Steven is pumped at the prospect of ushering in your
energy plan for Alaska.
While there are a few questions outstanding, all on the interview panel agree that Steven is the right person for
the job. Wanted you to know that (my understanding is that) Emil or Leo are bringing up Steven Haagenson's
name before the AIDEA board tomorrow to consider as director for AEA and the process is moving forward.

Meet Alaska news
Mixed bag today out of this industry event in anchorage. Bad news: BP is going to stop
work by two drill rigs that perform well workovers. I haven't heard the stated reason
yet, but it likely has something to do with fallout from the standard deduction since well
workovers are operating expenses. If that is the case/ the production isn't lost but only
deferred. After the standard deduction sunsets in 2009, they can go in and perform those
workovers all the same.
The good news: ENI has announced the sanction of the Nikiatchuq field. DNR granted
royalty relief at low prices last month, and they are now going to move forward on
development. They will spend nearly 1.5 billion dollars to develop 180 million barrels of
oil in the shallow offshore. First production will occurr in late 2009.

Subject: Re: Location of new Crime Lab
Governor,
After reviewing the options on where to build the new Crime Lab, Anchorage was chosen over Kenai and
The Mat-Su Valley for the following reasons:
• APD is by far the largest user at 72% and even if such usage rate continued, a move to Kenai
would drive up their expense in shipping evidence and slow their responsiveness to the citizens
they serve.
• The staff currently working at the Crime Lab would have to uproot themselves and their families
and that may cause some to re-think employment with DPS; a consideration as the crime Lab is
currently understaffed.
• Many Troopers transport their prisoners into Anchorage and hand carry evidence to the Crime Lab
now, to move the Lab out of Anchorage would further tie up that traveling Trooper to other
communities, like Palmer or Kenai, before he or she can return to their assigned post.
• Finally, the cost for the land in Anchorage is the same price as it would be in Kenai, no cost. (As
per conversation with MOA Heritage Land Bank Manager with Deputy Commissioner Glass.)
Any questions, please contact me anytime.

Good Evening Governor Palin!! I've been wanting to email you for over a month, but as a
mom with 3 busy sons, a husband, volenteering at school, being a Mary Kay Consultant,
church and every other requirement a mom has I haven't had the moment, until tonight.
I do not know if you know this, but you were featured in our "local" newspaper, "The
Portland Press Herald" or "The Maine Sunday Telegram", both papers are the same. You were
on page 2 of the first section. The article mentioned how you are cleaning house in your
state and taking "no prisoners", working with BOTH parties (can you believe it!!), and
even though you are a Republican you took the Oil People to "the mat" and won!! ! !
I wanted to cut the article out, but it ended up in our wood stove to start the daily
fire. Yes we have wood stoves in Maine. Actually you would not believe the number of
people outside New England (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
and Conneticut) that think Maine is part of Canada. Sometimes I think the Weather Channel
considers Maine part of Canada. The Weather Channel needs a geography lesson, they think
the Northeast ends in Boston. Oh, well enough about Maine.
I The article also mentioned that you might be a good running mate for the Republican
Nominee, Well I am here to tell you don't take the job. Stay Governor of Alaska, Do a

great job helping the people in your state, I think they need you. I am not trying to be
rude, but from what the article mentioned it sounds like you still have alot of work to do
and to leave with the work not finished will only hurt Alaska. I am a registered
Republican and I'm not to happy with what is out there and I am afraid it you took the
Vice-President spot that you could loose. Then Alaska would loose even more. I wish
Governor Baldici had your nerve i ! !
I realize you may never receive this email because of all the email you get from your own
state and it should be that way. But I wanted to email you and say "Good Job", now if you
could teach the rest of the Governors to stand up and be counted then I think things would
be better.
Good luck with the rest of your term and I hope all goes well. Someday my husband Jeff
and I hope to go to Alaska. Take care and God's Blessings, Kay Ouellette, Wells, Maine

Homer News - January 23, 2008
Mine permit team can, does say 'no'
BY MICHAEL ARMSTRONG
STAFF WRITER
DNR, OHMP, APEC, COE, NEPA, EIS, ROD and TEK, ARD, ML, NPDES, MZ, Air Q and Water Q.
When members of the LMPT that's the Large Mine Permitting Team spoke last Tuesday on how
large mines get permitted in Alaska, acronyms fell like snow sliding off a steep metal
roof during a mid-winter Chinook.
Or, as Victor Ross of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said about halfway through the
three-hour talk, "If you haven't had enough acronyms, if you haven't had enough discussion
of words and letters you're going to get more," he said.
About 25 people attended the Jan. 22 presentation, many of them wearing "No Pebble* 1
buttons. "The Process for Permitting Mine Projects in Alaska" is a talk given by state and
federal officials on how large mines like the Red Dog Mine, the Pogo Mine and the proposed
Pebble Project proceed from exploration to production and beyond. The Large Mine Project
Team spoke about the permitting process last year in Fairbanks and Anchorage and will give
its presentation this year in Dillingham, King Salmon and Bethel.
M Alaskans need to understand the complexities of the mine permitting process, " Alaska
Department of Natural Resources Commissioner Tom Irwin said in announcing the workshops.
"It is not simply a matter of DNR saying yes or no, but rather the coordinated involvement
of many state and federal agencies to process dozens of separate permit applications."
That's a point the presenters kept emphasizing.
"There is no one DNR permit," said Ed Fogels, division director of DNR Office of Project
Management and Permitting in Anchorage. "There are many, many permits."
PRA GSP01 0010625
To dramatize the scale of the permits, Fogels showed a slide of the permit application
package for the Pogo Gold Mine near Delta Junction a small library of about 20 4 -inch-
thick books.
The Large Mine Permitting Team made up of representatives from DNR, the Alaska Department
of Fish and Game, the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers begins working with
mining companies before a mine is developed.
Although on its Web site Pebble officials say the project is in the "pre-permitting" stage
of development, the Large Mine Permitting Team is already working with Northern Dynasty
and Anglo American now known as the Pebble Partnership in the exploration and
environmental assessment stage of the project, what it calls the pre- scoping and schedule
phase .
"The team is involved," Fogels said. "We've been for years at Pebble, and it hasn't even
approved permitting."
The Pebble Partnership has been getting state permits for exploration work, said Sean
Magee, director of public affairs with the Pebble Partnership, and the Large Mine
Permitting Team has visited the project site to check on permit compliance.
"We do have a relationship with them," Magee said. "Certainly we share with the Large Mine
Permitting Team and its members our environmental study plans every year, so they're aware
of the work we do."
What Pebble hasn't done yet is start the long, involved process of getting the more than
60 local, state and federal permits needed to dig minerals out of the ground and send them
to market. That can mean everything from road permits to wastewater disposal permits.
"Our job is to make sure all these permits are marching along in coordinated fashion, "
Fogels said.
"The focus is to synchronize it (the process)," he added. "It's a more efficient way to do
it. It's easier on the applicant, it's easier on the agencies, it's easier on the
public . "
One criticism of the permitting process is that mining companies are never told "no."
That's not true, Fogels said. The Large Mine Permitting Team denies permits all the time
but it also gives companies a chance to correct problems with permits. Sometimes, a
company can't produce a mining plan that satisfies agencies, as with the A- J Mine in
Juneau, where miners wanted to dispose of tailings by dumping them underwater and
offshore.
"We worked with them quite a while until the no's killed the project," Fogels said.
PRA GSP01 0010626
The permitting process also goes beyond the development phase of the project into mining
reclamation. The Large Mine Permitting Team makes sure reclamation and closing the mine is
done properly. Large mines have to put up some sort of financial assurance that money has
been set aside for reclamation and long-term monitoring, said Tom Crafford, DNR mining
coordinator. A mine like Red Dog, for example, has put up $155 million in financial
assurance.
"When you evaluate a proposal for a mine, you evaluate it for its closure," Pogels noted.
At a quest ion- and- answer period at the end, a lot of questions turned to Pebble. On the
status of the Pebble Partnership's permit application, Fogels said he keeps hearing that
applications will be coming within one to two years.
"We've heard that for five years," he said. "We keep expecting them."
Magee said the Pebble Partnership would apply for permits by 2009 at the earliest
Officials also were asked if they had enough staff or funding to monitor the permit .
process and mines once permitted. Fogels noted that the state of Alaska bills mining
companies for its permitting work. That's not the case with the federal government.
Funding for Corps of Engineers or EPA work comes out of its national budget.
"Are we adequately funded? No," Ross of the Corps of Engineers said. "I would love to have
more money to go out into the field."
One limitation of the Large Mine Permitting Team is that while it gets its authority from
Alaska statutes, the actual process isn't encoded in a single regulation.
"It's not prescribed anywhere," Fogels said.
The Large Mine Permitting Team has a Web site detailing the process, including a paper and
the slides from the presentation, available at www.dnr.state.ak.us/mining/largemine. Links
to mining projects like Pebble show the status of those mine's permit applications.

I hear ya- those last two points are my concerns. The "Tom" and "Mark" names are mixed up,
I believe, be tibbles explained {while he stood by Annette's side during the explanation)
one was the brother of the DEC guy, but both were friends of Bitney's. He also added that
Maher didn't like tibbles and "feared for his job" when he became COS, tho Maher was
actually promoted to acting commissioner before Hartig was hired.
It's too weird. And I couldn't talk to Annette about all I wanted to be she didn't seem
sympathetic to the bigger pic here re: trust, she said I'll always have critics, in any
group... Duh. And tibbles was standing right there.
I left a voice mail with Hartig. Hopefully he'll call today

a few things you relayed tonight don't quite add up, and bruce brought up a good point
when I relayed it to him as well.
1. did they tell you it was someone named "torn" maher? there is no "torn maher" in the
state system when i pull the directory, only mike maher, the admin services director of
dec, seems vague.
2. also weird that they told you not to follow up. is that because maher was told by
someone officially to get something out to bitney or adn? a stretch but maybe, or did
maher transmit it at all?
3. why caution you not to follow up, simple for hartig to ask maher "did you send
something to bitney or the adn?"
i'll try to stop obsessing over this and let it rest.

All,
PRA GSP01 0010648
I've been feeling the pressure lately and I've been feeling a tad sorry for myself.
Mostly I think about the fact that I'm 56 years old, I'm a year past full retirement, I
wake up almost nightly between 3 and 4 a.m. worrying about AGIA and all the challenges,
minefields and workloads, and I've been in this pressure cooker for more years than I care
to remember. As you can see, a veritable pity party!
And then, ever so slowly, I begin to think about Joe and Tom who live away from their
families most of every month, and that Joe must deal with the Legislature and all their
complexities every day all day, and who we rely upon to provide us our political insight
and guidance, and Antony who must manage the AGIA technical team and the CP technical team
and the TAPS tariff issues, and the ongoing DOG commercial demands and the fact that we
all want him involved in everything we do, and Pat and Tom needing to make incredibly
difficult AGIA 1 decisions and respond to all our meeting demands, as well as ensuring
their agencies don't fall apart while they focus on gasline, and Pat having many children,
and Tom trying to manage me, and Pat trying to manage Marcia, and Nan overseeing the PTU
litigation, keep the rest of us attending gasline meetings and focused on the correct
issues in the appropriate fashion, and managing all the Oil & Gas units for the state of
Alaska, including cleaning up decades of mistakes and attempting to answer unanswerable
legal questions, and trying to manage both me and Marcia, and Dan and Brian who attend all
our meetings, have learned all about the gasline 's technical complexities, travel to
Juneau on our behalf, speak out in defense of the AGIA process, and then return to, AHFC to
full-time jobs running the state's largest mortgage lending institution, and Chris who
spends untold after hours, including in the middle of the night and on weekends,
developing our systems, feeding the systems and supporting every single one of us in so
many large and small ways, and then returning to AIDEA to a full time job running that
development corporations procurement program, and Kurtis who we all expect, at a moments
notice, to speak out in defense of AGIA in an articulate, clever and knowledgeable
fashion, and to oversee a national effort to "sell" our Alaska Gasline vision, to be our
in-house expert on all things relating to gas marketing, and to ensure the DOG doesn't
stumble in its daily effort to generate about 87% of the state's general funds, and Bruce
who we expect to work 24/7' s to write first drafts of much of our outeach documents, and
to coordinate and oversee our outreach efforts, and to challenge our premises and "sharpen
our steel against steel", and Marie who we expect to ensure, that our Findings address
EVERYTHING we've been discussing over the past year, but in a perfectly organized and '.;.',
cryatalized fashion, and to ensure we are well organized when we need to reach-out and
touch every single legislator, and Bonnie who must investigate every legal nuance to
ensure we are heading in the right direction, and then force an incredibly unruly and
opinionated lot into submission, or ir she can't, at least direct us onto a defensible
path, and to oversee the many legal contractors, and to try and manage Don and Ken, who
are almost as unmanageable as me and Marcia, and Don who continues to produce and
participate loooong into the. East Coast nights in spite of being told that he should slow
down a tad, at least for a short period of time, and Ken who has given up sleep as being
over-rated, in favor or working around the clock producing documents that are "urgent" and
like Don, continues to think we are fun clients, having obviously lost their minds, and
Kevin who we expect to throw at Juneau to address anything commercial, and to do so in a
fashion that protects DOG from criticism, and to graciously allow all of us to mainline
his staff for the overarching interests of the state, but to also be responsible for
ensuring nothing important drops through the cracks at DOG, and Allison who has jumped
into the fray late enough in the game to know better, but still did so willingly and
enthusiastically, helping us to focus on many ROW and public outreach insights, and Ian
Laing who also should have known better than to look willing to join our merry-band, but
in doing so proves once again the adage that "no good deed. goes unpunished" as Ian will
now be force-marched to Juneau to assist Joe, and us all, in reminding our Legislative
leaders why AGIA's provisions are so critical to Alaskans future, thereby giving up his
homelife as well, and Ken Marsh, who like Chris, goes about the task of quietly supporting
our efforts on a daily basis. And, although not a daily part of our Gasline Team, Governor
Palin, who sends emails of inquiry and support at all hours of the days and nights and
stands firm on the interests of the state and of Alaskans, in spite of tremendous
pressure. And the untold and unnamed Alaskans who are cheering for us!- And, finally, the
many team members who have participated over the past year but are not currently at the
table and the departmental staff who cover our backs on normal agency issues so that we
can focus our energies on the gasline. AND THEN IT OCCURS TO ME! I could not be prouder
to be part of anything than I am to be part of this incredible team! You are all so
remarkable, dedicated, intelligent, hard-working, that participating with you in this
incredible adventure will be one of the highlights of my life. As Kurtis, in his clever
2
PRAJ3SP01_0010649
and articulate way has said, "what emerges from the team is steel sharpened against
steel". And it is and it is our strengh, and although often frustrating and difficult, I
believe it is also our pleasure. What keeps me hanging- in when the going gets tough is
all of you. And I want to thank you for that and for being there for Alaska!

Governor,
I appreciate the voice-message you left me and take this very seriously. I have several ideas on how to
address this situation. Do you want me to talk with Mike Tibbies on this? I hate bothering you anymore

Subject: Meeting with Mayor Hornaday / Homer
Governor.
There is a meeting scheduled for 2:00 pm with Mayor Hornaday. His main transportation issue is probably the
one-time reduction in ferry service that starts in December, 2008, when the Tustemena goes into drydock for
extensive repairs. AMHS has scheduled the Kennecott to provide backup service but there will be a reduction in
the amount of service. The Kennecott is the only other Ocean Certified vessel that can replace the Tustemena
but it costs twice as much to operate. ($420,000 a week) and the Homer run only generates about $50,000 a
week in revenue. AMHS decided that given the costs, etc., the proposed level of backup service provided by the
Kennecott was reasonable. Mayor Hornaday probably disagrees.
Other local officials like the City Manager of Kodiak, Linda Freed, have said they are happy with any amount of
backup service when the Tustemena goes down because prior to 1998 when the Kennecott was built, they used
to get no backup service.

Governor
Southeast Region Director Menzies returned from a trip to Ketchikan where he was discussing projects with the
Assembly and City Council at a joint meeting. He wanted me to let you know that several Assembly members
and City Council members approached him after the meeting and asked him to pass on their apology to you for
the way Mayor Williams is behaving, and that they do not approve of it. (The strong pro-bridge group there truly
does not represent the whole community, but they are very vocal)
Randy
P.S.
As to Mayor Hornaday, he did later acknowledge that at the AML meeting, Mayor Williams was chairing the AML
committee and just as Rep. Johansen did the day before, refused to allow technical staff to provide details.

Jim Rearden embodies all that is great about Alaska, and for me, that means
he embodies what is best about America. A true original, he has not only told some
of the best stories about our state and its people, he has played an important role in
making Alaska what it is.
Alaska's first inhabitants called this place "The Great Land", and today more
than ever this state provides a stunning expression of the grandeur that the natural
world has to offer. The state was founded, almost fifty years ago, by people who,
like Jim, loved the mountains, the rivers, the flora and the fauna of this remarkable
place with a deep devotion and had a commitment to responsible stewardship of our
fish and wildlife.
This sense of stewardship has always guided Alaska's fish and game
management And as an educator of wildlife biologists in the state, and a long-time
member of the Board of Fish and Game and the Board of Game, Jim Rearden has
helped embed this ethic in our people and our process.
The wise people who wrote Alaska's Constitution insisted that our fish and
wildlife be maintained on the sustained yield principle. This requirement, unique
among constitutions everywhere, as implemented by generations of dedicated public
servants like Jim, has been instrumental in the growth of our world-renowned
fisheries and the hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities that make Alaska the
place where dreams come true.
Throughout his long and impressive career, Jim has had an appreciation for
those who came before him. He told me that he recently re-read the transcripts of
some conversations he had more than fifty years ago with his friend, a significant
figure in the early history of hunting and guiding in Alaska and the subject of this
book, Slim Moore. Immediately appreciating the historical value of the stories Slim
had told him all those years ago, and knowing well the joy of telling a good yarn, Jim
decided to gather them for this book.
I was deeply honored when he asked me to write a brief foreword, following
as I do in this and in so many things the footsteps of the late Governor Jay
Hammond, whose office I am humbled to occupy,
Jay valued the role that our hunting heritage has played in the Alaskan
mindset, and he took seriously his responsibility to respect the ethics of hunting and
guiding. The great guides and hunters of Alaska - the best place to hunt on earth -
show appropriate respect to their prey, and to all animals as well as to the natural
environment that nurtures them. In this book, Jim Rearden tells the story of a man
who understood this implicitly and who is a fine example of the hardworking, ethical
spirit of stewardship that have given us the Alaska we know - where men, women
and children hunt, fish and enjoy the most beautiful, wild, Great Land anywhere. All
of us who are blessed to live here are in their debt.

Governor,
Tom, Pat, and I have just landed in Seattle enroute from DC to AK. We are concerned that a response message be consistent
with other discussions. And, while we know that we are always willing to talk with the companies, CP is saying we will not
talk, meaning we won't "negotiate". Furthermore CP is trying to contuse the public, and we don't want to exascerbate any
confusion. Our preference is to think about how best to respond and get something out Monday. However, if you feel
something must go out immediately, then we propose we talk sometime later this afternoon after we land and put it together
at that time.
Thanks, Many

Governor Stands by AGIA Process
January 26, 2008, Juneau, Alaska - Governor Sarah Palin today responded to claims made by
ConocoPhillips regarding the State's rejection of the company's natural gas pipeline
proposal, which was submitted outside the AGIA process.
W AGIA sets forth a vehicle that delivers North Slope gas to market with certification and
construction benchmarks, expansion provisions, tariff terms, and other protections the
state, and the nation, need. It is unfortunate that ConocoPhillips elected not to
participate in this sensible competitive process as did other fine companies."
The Governor also clarified that the state has never refused to work with ConocoPhillips
on a mutually beneficial plan to get the producers' gas into a pipeline to market.
Governor Palin on Wednesday spoke with ConocoPhillips president Jim Bowles about this
issue.
"While the ConocoPhillips' alternative obviously falls outside of AGIA' s terms, we have
long sought a way for ConocoPhillips to work with the state and the AGIA licensee toward a
mutual goal of getting ConocoPhillips' gas into a line to market. We have had several
discussions along these lines, and will continue to do so. Statements to the contrary are
simply untrue, and only serve to confuse Alaskans."

And I know team members want time to chew on this, but as has already happened this
3
PRA GSP01 0010675
morning with KTUU finding me at the NEA speech and wanting responses to CP's letter - we
can't blow any tinmely opportunity to set the record straight, asap, and lay out facts
when we are asked. Better yet, to be pro-active and anticipate what the public is wanting
answered. Obvious to me is the public's questions: "why is she refusing to talk to CP"
(not true, but that ! s what they're hearing), and "is it true she just doesn't understand
how to get this project built" {shoot- don't defend me on this, but our team of experts
had better be defended or Alaskans will continue to believe the big ; pretty, expensive ads
that CP pays for to tell Alaskans we're, essentially, naive, stubborn and idiotic).
The response does need to be sent. It's fine, with minor corrections... I don't want us
to over- think the response and miss opportunity to speak to Alaskans. I WILL be asked,
continually, until we release a statement.

And I know team members want time to chew on this, but as has already happened this
morning with KTUU finding me at the NEA speech and wanting responses to CP's letter - we
can't blow any tinmely opportunity to set the record straight, asap, and lay out facts
when we are asked. Better yet, to be pro- active and anticipate what the public is wanting
answered. Obvious to me is the public's questions: ,f why is she refusing to talk to CP"
(not true, but that's what they're hearing), and "is it true she just doesn't understand
how to get this project built" (shoot- don't defend me on this, but our team of experts
had better be defended or Alaskans will continue to believe the big, pretty, expensive ads
that CP pays for to tell Alaskans we're, essentially, naive, stubborn and idiotic).
The response does need to be sent. It's fine, with minor corrections... I don't want us
to over- think the response and miss opportunity to speak to Alaskans. I WILL be asked,
continually, until we release a statement.

Wish I had my own media list so I could just hit "send" and get these things answered.
Again- I love the team. But the interal over-analyzing drives me crazy when we miss good
response opportunities. Further- the media knows where to find me, versus not finding Tom,
Pat, Bruce, etc... they want answers soon be then they simply move on to the next issue
without our response when we miss it. I know you know this already! And I agree- Alaskans
want to hear from us - what we* re doing, where we're leading them.

Timing's everything so hopefully this gets pumped out quick.
Otherwise the WRONG mssg "jells" in the public which makes setting the record straight
even harder. We must learn to react quickly - which can be done without seeming
overreactive. Your suppoters like to see that your organization is engaged in these huge

(not true/ but that's what they* re hearing), and "is it true she just doesn't understand
how to get this project built" (shoot- don't defend me on this, but our team of experts
had better be defended or Alaskans will continue to believe the big, pretty, expensive ads
that CP pays for to tell Alaskans we're, essentially, naive, stubborn and idiotic).
The response does need to be sent. It's fine, with minor corrections... I don't want us
to over-think the response and miss opportunity to speak to Alaskans. I WILL be asked,
continually, until we release a statement.

On another speech related note- -the AJDN has an article about how BP has
reduced its spending plan for Alaska, will ENI f s announcement come soon?
I've only heard it's in the works, not when they'll make it, {Obviously,
I won't talk about it in the PAI Chamber speech unless it's announced.)

Subj ect : RE : ACES
I agree that with ENI we have an opportunity to throw cold water on the "ACES makes for a
bad investment climate" story-angle. Even the BP story was a weak attempted strike at us.
A3 reported, BP is spending more than last year, but they say they "might" have spent even
more without ACES. Juxtaposing that with a definite $1.4B commitment looks real good.
I'm not suggesting we reference BP in our presser, but the timing is fortunate.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE No. 08-010
Eni works with Alaska on major development project
Company to develop 70 wells in Nikaitchuq oil field
January 26, 2008, Juneau, Alaska - Governor Sarah Palin today commended the major
investment announced by Italian oil giant Eni. The company will invest $1.45 billion
developing the Nikaitchuq oil field. Eni expects to drill 70 wells to recover 180 million
barrels of oil.
PRA GSP01 0010726
"We are pleased that Eni has recognized the tremendous resource wealth and opportunity
that Alaska has to offer," Governor Palin said. "Continued oil and gas exploration is
significant to Alaska's future, creating real jobs for Alaskans. We look forward to a
long and successful relationship with Eni."
On October 16, Eni submitted an application to Alaska Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) Commissioner Tom Irwin requesting modification of royalty terms on 12 leases in the
Nikaitchuq Unit. After assessing the financial performance and economic benefits, on
January 11 Commissioner Irwin approved a modification that allows Eni's royalty
obligations to fall to 5 percent when prices are at $42.64 per barrel or lower.
Alaska law allows the DNR commissioner to make royalty modifications in order to meet
investment thresholds.
Full details of the modification can be found at:

Marty a draft to review after they touch down in Anch, and over the weekend.

Subject: Press response to CP letter
Governor,
Tom, Pat, and I have just landed in Seattle enroute from DC to AK. We are concerned that
a response message be consistent with other discussions. And, while we know that we are
always willing to talk with the companies, CP is saying we will not talk, meaning we won't
"negotiate". Furthermore CP is trying to confuse the public, and we don't want to
exascerbate any confusion. Our preference is to think about how best to respond and get
something out Monday. However, if you feel something must go out immediately, then we
propose we talk sometime later this afternoon after we land and put it together at that
time.
Thanks, Marty

Thanks Sharon. Between you and me, sometimes I wonder why it doesn't bother the AGIA team
that so many of our critics' points just go unanswered. They speak internally about how
misinformed critics are - but don't seem to see the need for Alaskans to be asurred we're
on the right path and we know what we're doing. Be prepared for some to try to talk me out
of responding, or clarifying, but I shall do so because Alaskans do need to know truth -
and both sides of the issue. Thanks

I have copied and pasted into the email the Gas List that came directly off the Governor's Calendar. There are
missing months as the calendaring system that was used previously to July 1 , 2007 crashed and there is no back
up to look at. Some calls may have not reached the calendar. If there is a way to go back to the Lt. Governor's
Calendar for Dec. 2006 to see if we are missing meetings/calls from that time it would be helpful and also the
large May 15 - June 30, 2007 missing dates. We may not want to quote numbers. Janice
Governor's Meetings/Phone Calls w/Gas Companies:
DATES MISSING: Dec, 7 - 31, 2006; May 16 - 31, 2007; June 1 - 30, 2007 - This is due to
the system crashing and having to convert to new Calendaring system.

I have copied and pasted into the email the Gas List that came directly off the Governor's Calendar. There are
missing months as the calendaring system that was used previously to July 1 , 2007 crashed and there is no back
up to look at. Some calls may have not reached the calendar. If there is a way to go back to the Lt. Governor's
Calendar for Dec. 2006 to see if we are missing meetings/calls from that time it would be helpful and also the
large May 15 - June 30, 2007 missing dates. We may not want to quote numbers. Janice

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE No. 08-011
Governor Stands by AGIA Process
PRA GSP01 0010768
January 26, 2008, Juneau, Alaska - Governor Sarah Palin today responded to claims made by
ConocoPhillips regarding the State's rejection of the company's natural gas pipeline
proposal, which was submitted outside the AGIA process.
"AGIA sets forth a vehicle that delivers North Slope gas to market with certification and
construction benchmarks, expansion provisions, tariff terms, and other protections the
state, and the nation, need. It is unfortunate that ConocoPhillips elected not to
participate in this sensible competitive process as did other fine companies."
The Governor also clarified that the state has never refused to work with ConocoPhillips
on a mutually beneficial plan to get the producers' gas into a pipeline to market.
Governor Palin on Wednesday spoke with ConocoPhillips president Jim Bowles about this
issue.
"While the ConocoPhillips 1 alternative obviously falls outside of AGIA's terms, we have
long sought a way for ConocoPhillips to work with the state and the AGIA licensee toward a
mutual goal of getting ConocoPhillips 1 gas into a line to market. We have had several
discussions along these lines, and will continue to do so. Statements to the contrary are
simply untrue, and only serve to confuse Alaskans."

Dear Director Rehfeld,
Please find attached our November 21, 2007 funding request to the Honorable Governor
Sara Palin. We have been encouraged to resubmit our second funding request to you at
this time.
As stated in our November letter, the 2.5 million dollar request was contingent upon

receipt of federal funding. The amount of our federal earmark was originally $916,000.
The adjusted amount is now $641,000 and is, at present, being challenged. We have
every indication that we will receive this funding, and as such, we are reducing our state
funding request accordingly, to 1.9 million dollars.
Chris Rainwater, AACD President, and other members of AACD would like to meet with
Governor Palin and Commissioner Tom Irwin to discuss in detail the funding request and
the proposals in our November 21st letter. This meeting is very important to us and we
can be available to meet with Governor Palin and her staff in Anchorage, Wasilla, Juneau
or any place she designates, from February 18th thru March 26th. Please contact our
Executive Director, Eric Wade at 357-4563 Ext 110 in our Wasilla Office, or myself at

aggressive defense from Counsel? The money to grease the aggressive defense wheel is all I can figure, void of due
process and equal protection under Rule of Law. Interesting charade and cast of characters work as magicians to conjure up
fictions of illusion to create equity out of thin air, with absolutely nothing in common with law under the independent
Judicial Branch of government but created by the Executive Branch under "The Agency". Governor Palin has her work cut
out for her to keep her visions concerning "uprooting corruption and making government transparent" with accountability
restored in government.
In the opinion of Nathan Margold on Powers of Indian (Alaska's Native) Tribes approved October 25, 1934 (55 ID, 14):
"It is feet that State governments and administrative officials have frequently trespassed upon the realm of tribal autonomy,
presuming to govern the Indian (Alaska's Native) tribes through State law or departmental regulation or arbitrary
administrative fiat (This is no longer acceptable practice on Tribal Lands in Alaska,), but these trespasses have not
impaired the vested legal powers of local self-government which have been recognized again and again when these
trespasses have been challenged by an Indian (Alaska Native) tribe."
"In all Cases.... and those in which a State shall be a Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction." Art.III,
Sec. 2 United States Constitution
Dae Process provides that the "rights of Pro Per (Sui Juris) litigants are to be construed liberally and held to less stringent
standards than formal pleadings drafted by lawyers; if court can reasonably read pleadings to state valid claim on which
litigant could prevail, it should do so despite failure to cite proper legal authority, confusion of legal theories, poor syntax
and sentence construction, or litigants unfamiliarity with pleading requirements." (Spencer v Doe, 1998; Green v Branson
1997; Boag v McDougall, 1998; Haines v Kerner, 1972)
"Sui Juris", "Pro Per", or "In Propria Personam" are the terms that are the status of the freeborn people in a courtroom,
without disability, accessing your public record, bringing forth remedy according to lawful process. No other terms (e.g.
"pro se or represented) mean the same thing.
In Propria Personum [pro per] Sui juris litigants must be treated with "special care because they occupy a position
significantly different from that of litigants represented by counsel [bar attorney or incorporated services]."
SOMERVILLE V. HALL, 2F.3D 1563, 1564 {11TH CIR.1993} AND JOHNSON V. PULLMAN, 845 F 2ND 91 1,914
{11THCIR.1988}
Conspiracy against Rights, 18 U.S.C. § 241. Section 241 of Title 18 is the civil rights conspiracy statute. Section 241
makes it unlawful for two or more persons to agree together to injure, threaten, or intimidate a [Natural] person in any
state, territory or district in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him/her by the Constitution
or the laws of the united states of America, (or because of his/her having exercised the same). Unlike most conspiracy
statutes, Section 241 does not require that one of the conspirators commit an overt act prior to the conspiracy becoming a
crime.
Deprivation of Rights under Color of Law, 18 U.S.C § 242. This provision makes it a crime for a person acting under
color of any law to willfully deprive a [Natural] person of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or laws of the
United States of America.
For the purpose of Section 242, acts under "color of law" include acts not only done by federal, state, or local officials
within the their lawful authority, but also acts done beyond the bounds of that official's lawful authority, if the acts are
done while the official is purporting to or pretending to act in the performance of his/her official duties. Persons acting
under color of law within the meaning of this statute include police officers, prisons guards and other law enforcement
officials, as well as judges, care providers in public health facilities, and others who are acting as public officials. It is not
necessary that the crime be motivated by animus toward the race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national
origin of the victim.
Peonage, 18 U.S.C. § 1581. Section 1581 of Title 18 makes it unlawful to hold a [Natural] person in "debt servitude," or
peonage, which is closely related to involuntary servitude. Section 1581 prohibits using force, the threat of force, or the
threat of legal coercion to compel a [Natural] person to work against his/her will. In addition, the victim's involuntary
servitude must be tied to the payment of a debt
COLOR OF LAW n: a mere semblance of legal right; something done with the apparent authority of law but
actually in contravention of law; "the plaintiff claimed that under color of law the officer had deprived him of his civil
rights"
NO PRESUMPTION OF JURISDICTION
6/9/2009
PRA GSP01 0010773
Page 3 of 6
The law is clear and well-settled that a judge in a statutory proceeding, such as Bankruptcy, divorce, adoption, forcible
detainment, etc., is governed by the rules of limited jurisdiction and not by the rules of general jurisdiction. In all actions
governed by the rules of limited jurisdiction, there is no presumption that the judge has jurisdiction. In re Cash, 383 III.
409, 429 (1943) ("Jurisdiction in special statutory proceedings is never presumed. It must affirmatively appear from the
record. Nothing will be presumed in favor of jurisdiction in the face of facts appearing in the record showing it did not
exist."); State Bank of Lake Zurich v. Thill, 1 13 I11.2d 294, 497 N.E.2d 1 156 (1986); Wabash Area Development, Inc. v,
Ind. Com., 88 IIL2d 392 (1981).
There is a misconception by some attorneys and judges that only a judge may declare an order void, but this is not the law:
(a) there is no statute nor case law that supports this position, and (b) should there be any case law that allegedly supported
this argument, that case would be directly contrary to the law established by the U.S. Supreme Court in Vallely v. Northern
Fire & Marine Ins. Co., 254 U.S. 348, 41 S.Ct 1 16 (1920) and by the Illinois Supreme Court in People v. Miller. Supra. A
party may have a court vacate a void order, but the void order is still void ab initio, whether vacated or not; a piece of
paper does not determine whether an order is void, it just memorializes it.
This principle of law was stated by the U.S. Supreme Court as "Courts are constituted by authority and they cannot go
beyond that power delegated to them. If they act beyond that authority, and certainly in contravention of it, their judgments
and orders are regarded as nullities. They are not void-able, but simply VOID (ab initio), AND THIS EVEN PRIOR TO
REVERSAL." [Emphasis added], Vallely v. Northern Fire & Marine Ins. Co., 254 U.S. 348, 41 S.Ct 1 16 (1920). See also
Old Wayne Mut I. Assoc, v. McDonough, 204 U.S. 8, 27 S.Ct 236 (1907); Williamson v. Berry, 8 How. 495, 540, 12
L.Ed. 1 170, 1 189 (1850); Rose v. Himely, 4 Cranch 241, 269, 2 L.Ed. 608, 617 (1808).
A void judgment which includes judgment entered by a court which lacks jurisdiction over the parties or the subject
matter, or lacks inherent power to enter the particular judgment, or an order procured by fraud, can be attacked at any time,
in any court, either directly or collaterally, provided that the party is properly before the court. See Long v. Shorebank
Development Corp., 1 82 F.3d 548 (C A. 7 111. 1999)
Whenever jurisdiction is denied or questioned by a party or the court, it is the duty of the party claiming that the court has
jurisdiction to prove that the court does indeed have it. Bindell v. City of Harvey, 212 Ill.App.3d 1042, 571 N.E.2d 1017
(1st Dist. 1991) ("the burden of proving jurisdiction rests upon the party asserting it").
Black's Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition, page 1574:
Void judgment. One which has has no legal force or effect, invalidity of which may be asserted by any person whose
rights are affected at any time and at any place directly or collaterally, Reynolds v. Volunteer State Life Ins. Co.,
Tex.Civ.App. 80 S.W.2d 1087, 1092. One which from its inception is and forever continues to be absolutely null, without
legal efficacy, ineffectual to bind parties or support a right, of no legal force and effect whatever, and incapable of
confirmation, ratification, or enforcement in any manner or to any degree. Judgment is a "void judgment" if court that
rendered judgment lacked jurisdiction of the subject matter, or of the parties, or acted in a manner inconsistent with due
process. Klugh v. U.S., D.C.S.C, 610 F.Supp. 892, 901. See also Void-able judgment.
Prerequisites for Subject Matter Jurisdiction
The really big deal, the real issue in void judgments is SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION!!! Remember, subject matter
can never be presumed, never be waived, and cannot be construed even by mutual consent of the parties. Subject matter
jurisdiction is two parts: the statutory or common law authority for the court to hear the case and the appearance and
testimony of a competent fact witness, in other words, sufficiency of pleadings. Subject matter jurisdictional failings:
No Petition in the record of the case, Brown v. VanKeuren, 340 111. 1 1 8, 122 (1930)
Defective Petition filed, Brown v. VanKeuren, 340 III. 118, 122 (1930)
Fraud committed in the procurement of jurisdiction, Fredman Brothers Furniture v. Dept. of Revenue, 109
Fraud upon the court, In re Village of Willowbrook, 37 111. App.3d 393 (1962)
In the ORIGINAL action, this court was without subject-matter jurisdiction at all times for multiple reasons. One of the
many reasons arises out of the repeated decision(s) of the Supreme Court, that the record of the case must affirmatively
contain a valid Petition for subject matter jurisdiction. Brown v. VanKeuren, 340 111. 118, 122 (1930):
"The petition required to put the court in motion and give it jurisdiction must be in conformity with the statute granting the
right and must show all the facts necessary to authorize it to act, -i.e., it must contain all the statements which the statute
says the petition shall state, - and if the petition fails to contain all of these essential elements the court is without
jurisdiction. Where a court is exercising special statutory jurisdiction the record must show upon its face that the case is
one where the courts have authority to act. Before a decree can have vitality the court must have jurisdiction not only of the

towards the Indians; their lands and property shall never be taken without their consent; and, in their property, rights and
liberty, they shall never be invaded or disturbed, unless in just and lawful wars authorized by Congress; but laws founded
in justice and humanity, shall from time to time be made for preventing wrongs being done to them, and for preserving
peace and friendship with them."
Comment: The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 at Article 3 passed by the U.S. Congress assured Indian nations of their
future sovereignty.

continent of America, and to navigate all the lakes, rivers and waters thereof, and freely to carry on trade and commerce

pay for the same any impost or duty whatever."
Sperry Oil and Gas vs. Chisholm (264 U.S. 488), 68 L.Ed 03, 44 S.Ct 372, it was found "...nor can the State courts

Public Law 83-280
(67 Stat.588, 18 ILS.C. ss 1 162 and 28 U.S.C. ss 1360) Limitation of state authority to alienate tribal land rights:
(Nothing in this Act authorizes the) ...alienation, encumbrance or taxation of any real or personal property, including water
rights belonging to any Indian or Indian tribe, band, or community that is held in trust by the United States or is subject to
a restriction against alienation imposed by the United States; or shall authorize regulation or the use of such property in a
manner inconsistent with any federal treaty, agreement or statute or with any regulation made pursuant thereto...
Public Law 280Comment:
This act prohibits states from asserting jurisdiction within Tribal boundaries without Tribal consent In Public Law 280
states where tribes have entered into law enforcement agreements with non-Natives, when a misdemeanor crime is
committed by an Indian while on a reservation and the arrest is made by state or county law enforcement officers, a
jurisdictional issue arises as whether the state or the tribe has the jurisdiction. When a county prosecutor or district attorney
stipulates that the matter is transferred to the jurisdiction of the tribal court, it is a clear indication of respect for that court.
[No valid agreement here in Togiak made between a Native or non-Native agency]
State of Washington vs. Guthrie, 1994
Tribes, which uphold and practice Tribal Law, Custom and Tradition often, have laws that are different than laws and
customs of the United States of America. The Kuiu Kwaan of Alaska successfully argued Personal Jurisdiction in a
criminal case in which Tlingit youth harmed a white man in Washington state. The Kuiu Tribal Court successfully argued
that Petitioners were subject to the jurisdiction of the Tribe under Tlingit Law wherever they may reside.

Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies
Government-to-Government Relationship with Tribal Governments
The United States has a unique legal and political relationship with Indian tribes and a special relationship with Alaska
Native entities as provided in the Constitution of the United States, treaties, and Federal statutes. Presidents for decades
have recognized this relationship. President Nixon announced a national policy of self-determination for Indian tribes in
1970. More recently, Executive Order 13175, entitled Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, was
issued in 2000. 1 reiterated my Administration's adherence to a government-to-government relationship and support for
6/9/2009
PRA GSP01 0010775
Page 5 of 6
tribal sovereignty and self-determination earlier this year in Executive Order 13336, entitled American Indian and Alaska
Native Education.
My Administration is committed to continuing to work with federally recognized tribal governments on a government-to-
government basis and strongly supports and respects tribal sovereignty and self-determination for tribal governments in the
United States. I take pride in acknowledging and reaffirming the existence and durability of our unique government-to-
government relationship and these abiding principles.
This commitment begins at the White House, where my Director of Intergovernmental Affairs serves as my White House
liaison with all Indian nations and works with federally recognized tribal governments on an intergovernmental basis.
Moreover, it is critical that all departments and agencies adhere to these principles and work with tribal governments in a
manner that cultivates mutual respect and fosters greater understanding to reinforce these principles.
Accordingly, the head of each executive department and agency (agency) shall continue to ensure to the greatest extent
practicable and as permitted by United States law that the agency's working relationship with federally recognized tribal
governments fully respects the rights of self-government and self-determination due tribal governments. Department or
agency inquiries regarding this memorandum, specifically those related to regulatory, legislative, or budgetary issues,
should be directed to the Office of Management and Budget.
This memorandum is intended only to improve the internal management of the executive branch and is not intended to, and
does not, create any right, benefit, or trust responsibility, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity, by a.
party against the United States, its agencies, entities, or instrumentalities, its officers or employees, or any other person.
GEORGE W. BUSH
Will v. Michigan Dept of State Police - Supreme Court ruling reported Nov. 1991
491 U.S. 58, 57 LW 4677 (1989) State officials sued in their individual capacities are "persons" under 42 USC 1983 who
may be held liable for damages for civil rights violations. State officials can be held personally liable for actions taken in
the course of their official duties. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor wrote that Section 1983 was designed to redress violation
of civil rights by persons acting under color of state law and thus it would stand the statute on its head to hold that a state
official could not be held liable "precisely because of her authority" as a state official.
Comment: It is generally held that this ruling is a minimum ruling that may extend to other areas of injury.
So in conclusion Janella, there is more than enough ample documentation that I have the absolute Right, to challenge by
question all your right to enter upon my Tribal Land, attach my Inalienable Rights as a Freeborn Natural Inhabitant into
some nightmarish clutch, to presume I'm in debt to you people for any reason what so ever. What side are you really on?
Please explain in fiill detail. Are you an officer of the court? If so, show me your valid oath of office. Is the public defender
agency created and operated under the Executive Branch of government with nothing to do with the Judicial Branch on
equal footing as two of three independent branches of government, the other being Legislative? Please explain. In fact is
not the whole charade in the caption box at the top of this letter all under the same administrative Executive Branch, paid
by the same in conflict with Rule of Law under Common Law? Please explain. Rexford says I have no respect for the
"court or law", what "court or law" are in his mind? I believe he's referring to administrative courts and administrative
codes that haven't got anything to do with me, the living, breathing Sovereign on my Land, exercising my Rights to Life,
Liberty and the pursuit of Happy-ness. To keep applying the charade will only validate any jurisdictional challenge, as you
people purport to do via the recent charges which work to subvert My Jurisdictional challenge. Two weeks before Rexford
Spoffords claims, I made a valid challenge, which in the same light as a writ of mandamus, needed to be addressed under
the rules of law secured by the Supreme Law of the Land, the Constitution of the united States of America. Are you a party
to said laws? Please explain in full. I firmly believe that in this court you are collectively defending under the guise of
public that's a fraud and all orders made on my person are void ab initio! How can advice in protection of inalienable
Rights be, "bad advice that may harm her."? I believe your advice to be misleading, and if I'm correct you should be
ashamed of yourself until you rethink your moral values remembering we all have Birth Rights, under clever guise you
only work to capitalize on. Only and when I injure a party will I ever be charged with a crime and then under Rule of Law,
I'm presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court of law (not code) and only if convicted by a jury of my peers not
tainted by third party instruction etc. Should you consider my position in error?

Dear Janella,
I put my faith in you to do what is morally right and wonder how you sleep at night living off your chosen
profession. I also wonder what OJ. Simpson, Michael J. Jackson, Robert Blake and Drew Peterson have in common
to receive an aggressive defense from Counsel? The money to grease the aggressive defense wheel is all I can
figure, void of due process and equal protection under Rule of Law. Interesting charade and cast of characters work
as magicians to conjure up fictions of illusion to create equity out of thin air, with absolutely nothing in common
with law under the independent Judicial Branch of government but created by the Executive Branch under "The
Agency". Governor Palin has her work cut out for her to keep her visions concerning "uprooting corruption and
making government transparent" with accountability restored in government.
The purported Order(s) issued by this court are/is void ab initio since it was issued during a period lacking no
subject matter and jurisdiction over the Sovereign parties. - 1

In the opinion of Nathan Margold on Powers of Indian (Alaska 's Native) Tribes approved
October 25, 1934 (55 ID. 14): "It is fact that State governments and administrative officials have
frequently trespassed upon the realm of tribal autonomy, presuming to govern the Indian
(Alaska 's Native) tribes through State law or departmental regulation or arbitrary administrative
fiat (This is no longer acceptable practice on Tribal Lands in Alaska.), but these trespasses have
not impaired the vested legal powers of local self-government which have been recognized
again and again when these trespasses have been challenged by an Indian (Alaska Native) tribe."
"In all Cases.... and those in which a State shall be a Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction."
ArUII, Sec. 2 United States Constitution
Due Process provides that the "rights of Pro Per (Sui Juris) litigants are to be construed liberally and held to less
stringent standards than formal pleadings drafted by lawyers; if court can reasonably read pleadings to state valid
claim on which litigant could prevail, it should do so despite failure to cite proper legal authority, confusion of legal
theories, poor syntax and sentence construction, or litigants unfamiliarity with pleading requirements." (Spencer \
Doe, 1998; Green v Branson 1997; Boag v McDougall, 1998; Haines v Kerner, 1972)
"Sui Juris", "Pro Per", or "In Propria Personum" are the terms that are the status of the freeborn people in a
courtroom, without disability, accessing your public record, bringing forth remedy according to lawful process. Np
other terms (e.g. "pro se or represented) mean th£ same thing.
In Propria Personum [pro per] Sui juris litigants must be treated with "special care because they occupy a position
significantly different from that of litigants represented by counsel [bar attorney or incorporated services].
SOMERVILLE V. HALL, 2F.3D 1563, 1564 {11TH CIR.1993} AND JOHNSON V. PULLMAN, 845 F 2ND
911,914 {UTHCIR.1988}
Conspiracy against Rights, 18 U.S.C, § 24L Section 241 of Title 18 is the civil rights conspiracy statute. Section
241 makes it unlawful for two or more persons to agree together to injure, threaten, or intimidate a [Natural] person
in any state, territory or district in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him/her by the
Constitution or the laws of the united states of America, (or because of his/her having exercised the same). Unlike
most conspiracy statutes, Section 241 does not require that one of the conspirators commit an overt act prior to the
conspiracy becoming a crime.
Deprivation of Rights under Color of Law* 18 U.S.C. § 242. This provision makes it a crime for a person acting
under color of any law to willfully deprive a [Natural] person of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or
laws of the United States of America.
For the purpose of Section 242, acts under "color of law" include acts not only done by federal, state, or local
officials within the their lawful authority, but also acts done beyond the bounds of that official's lawful authority, i1
the acts are done while the official is purporting to or pretending to act in the performance of his/her official duties.
Persons acting under color of law within the meaning of this statute include police officers, prisons guards and other
law enforcement officials, as well as judges, care providers in public health facilities, and others who are acting as
public officials. It is not necessary that the crime be motivated by animus toward the race, color, religion, sex,
handicap, familial status or national origin of the victim.
Peonage, 18 U.S.C. § 1581. Section 1581 of Title 18 makes it unlawful to hold a [Natural] person in "debl
servitude," or peonage, which is closely related to involuntary servitude. Section 1581 prohibits using force, the
threat of force, or the threat of legal coercion to compel a [Natural] person to work against his/her will. In addition
the victim's involuntary servitude must be tied to the payment of a debt.

COLOR OF LAW n: a mere semblance of legal right; something done with the apparent authority of law but
actually in contravention of law; "the plaintiff claimed (hat under color of law the officer had deprived him of his
civil rights"
NO PRESUMPTION OF JURISDICTION
The law is clear and well-settled that a judge in a statutory proceeding, such as Bankruptcy, divorce, adoption,
forcible detainment, etc., is governed by the rules of limited jurisdiction and not by the rules of general jurisdiction.
In all actions governed by the rules of limited jurisdiction, there is no presumption that the judge has jurisdiction. In
re Cash, 383 III 409, 429 (1943) ("Jurisdiction in special statutory proceedings is never presumed. It must
affirmatively appear from the record. Notning will be presumed in favor of jurisdiction in the face of facts appearing
in the record showing it did not exist."); State Bank of Lake Zurich v. Thill, 1 13 II1.2d 294, 497 N.E.2d 1 156 (1986);
Wabash Area Development, Inc. v. Ind. Com., 88 IlL2d 392 (1981).
There is a misconception by some attorneys and judges that only a judge may declare an order void, but this is not
the law: (a) there is no statute nor case law that supports this position, and (b) should there be any case law that
allegedly supported this argument, that case would be directly contrary to the law established by the U.S. Supreme
Court in Vallely v. Northern Fire & Marine Ins. Co., 254 U.S. 348, 41 S.Ct. 1 16 (1920) and by the Illinois Supreme
Court in People v. Miller. Supra A party may have a court vacate a void order, but the void order is still void ab
initio, whether vacated or not; a piece of paper does not determine whether an order is void, it just memorializes it
This principle of law was stated by the U.S. Supreme Court as "Courts are constituted by authority and they cannot
go beyond that power delegated to them. If they act beyond that authority, and certainly in contravention of it, their
judgments and orders are regarded as nullities. They are not void-able, but simply VOID (ab initio), AND THIS
EVEN PRIOR TO REVERSAL." [Emphasis added]. Vallely v. Northern Fire & Marine Ins. Co., 254 U.S. 348, 41
S.Ct. 1 16 (1920). See also Old Wayne Mut. I; Assoc, v. McDonough, 204 U.S. 8, 27 S.Ct. 236 (1907); Williamson
v. Berry, 8 How. 495, 540, 12 L.Ed. 1170, 1189 (1850); Rose v, Himely, 4 Cranch 241, 269, 2 L.Ed. 608, 617
(1808).
A void judgment which includes judgment entered by a court which lacks jurisdiction over the parties or the subject
matter, or lacks inherent power to enter the particular judgment, or an order procured by fraud, can be attacked at
any time, in any court, either directly or collaterally, provided that the party is properly before the court. See Long v^
Shorebank Development Corp., 182 F.3d 548 (C.A. 7 111. 1999)
Whenever jurisdiction is denied or questioned by a party or the court, it is the duty of the party claiming that the
court has jurisdiction to prove that the court does indeed have it. Bindell v. CityofHarvey, 212 IlI.App.3d 1042, 571
NE.2d 1017 (1st Dist 1991) ("the burden of proving jurisdiction rests upon the party asserting it").
Black's Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition, page 1574:
Void judgment. One which has has no legal force or effect, invalidity of which may be asserted by any person
whose rights are affected at any time and at any place directly or collaterally. Reynolds v. Volunteer State Life Ins.
Co., Tex.Civ.App, 80 S.W.2d 1087, 1092. One which from its inception is and forever continues to be absolutely
null, without legal efficacy, ineffectual to bind parties or support a right, of no legal force and effect whatever, an
incapable of confirmation, ratification, or enforcement in any manner or to any degree. Judgment is a "voi
judgment" if court that rendered judgment lacked jurisdiction of the subject matter, or of the parties, or acted in a
manner inconsistent with due process. Klugh v. U.S., D.C.S.C, 610 F.Supp. 892, 901, See also Void-able judgment
id
Prerequisites for Subject Matter Jurisdiction
The really big deal, the real issue in void judgments is SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION! ! ! Remember, subjecl
matter can never be presumed, never be waived, and cannot be construed even by mutual consent of the parties.

Subject matter jurisdiction is two parts: the statutory or common law authority for the court to hear me case and the
appearance and testimony of a competent fact witness, in other words, sufficiency of pleadings. Subject matter
jurisdictional failings:
No Petition in the record of the case, Brown v. VanKeuren, 340 IU. 1 1 8, 122 (1930)
Defective Petition filed, Brown v. VanKeuren, 340 III. 118, 122 (1930)
Fraud committed in the procurement of jurisdiction, Fredman Brothers Furniture v. Dept of Revenue, 109
Fraud upon the court, In re Village of Willowbrook, 37 111. App.3d 393 (1962)
In the ORIGINAL action, this court was without subject-matter jurisdiction at all times for multiple reasons. One oi
the many reasons arises out of the repeated decisions) of the Supreme Court, that the record of the case must
affirmatively contain a valid Petition for subject matter jurisdiction. Brown v. VanKeuren, 340 111. 118, 122 (1930):
"The petition required to put the court in motion and give it jurisdiction must be in conformity with the statute
granting the right and must show all the facts necessary to authorize it to act, -i.e., it must contain all the statements
which the statute says the petition shall state, - and if the petition fails to contain all of these essential elements the
court is without jurisdiction. Where a court is exercising special statutory jurisdiction the record must show upon its
foce that the case is one where the courts have authority to act. Before a decree can have vitality the court must have
jurisdiction not only of the person but of the subject matter."
Ajudge does not follow statutory procedure, Armstrong v.Obucino, 300111. 140, 143(1921).
Unlawful activity of a judge, Code of Judicial Conduct
Violation of due process, Johnson v. Zerbst, 304 U.S. 458, 58 S.Ct. 1019 (1938); Pure Oil Co. v. City of Northlake,
10 IlL2d 241, 245, 140 N.E.2d 289 (1956); Hallberg v. Goldblatt Bros., 363 I1L25 (1936);
If the court exceeded its statutory authority, Rosenstiel v. Rosenstiel, 278 F.Supp. 794 (S.D.N. Y. 1967).
The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 (1 Stat50) Article 3 assured that "The utmost good faith shall always be
observed towards the Indians; their lands and property shall never be taken without their consent; and, in their
property, rights and liberty, they shall never be invaded or disturbed, unless in just and lawful wars authorized by
Congress; but laws founded in justice and humanity, shall from time to time be made for preventing wrongs being
done to them, and for preserving peace and friendship with them "
Comment: The Northwest Ordinance of 1 787 at Article 3 passed by the U.S. Congress assured Indian nations oj
their future sovereignty.
Jay Treaty Nov 19 1794
Art III "It is agreed that it shall at all times be free to the Indians dwelling on either side of the said boundary line
freely to pass and re-pass by land or inland navigation, into the respective territories and countries of the two parties,
on the continent of America, and to navigate all the lakes, rivers and waters thereof, and freely to carry on trade and
commerce with each other... nor shall the Indians passing or re-passing with their own proper goods and effects oi
whatever nature, pay for the same any impost or duty whatever."
Sperry Oil and Gas vs. Chisholm (264 U.S. 488), 68 L.Ed 03, 44 S.Ct 372, it was found "...nor can the State
courts assume jurisdiction in a controversy involving Indians."
Public Law 83-280
(67 Stat.588, 18 U.S.C. ss 1 162 and 28 U.S.C. ss 1360) Limitation of state authority to alienate tribal land rights:
(Nothing in this Act authorizes the) ...alienation, encumbrance or taxation of any real or personal property, including
water rights belonging to any Indian or Indian tribe, band, or community that is held in trust by the United States oi
is subject to a restriction against alienation imposed by the United States; or shall authorize regulation or the use of
such property in a manner inconsistent with any federal treaty, agreement or statute or with any regulation made

This act prohibits states from asserting jurisdiction within Tribal boundaries without Tribal consent. In Public Law
280 states where tribes have entered into law enforcement agreements with non-Natives, when a misdemeanor crime
is committed by an Indian while on a reservation and the arrest is made by state or county law enforcement officers,
a jurisdictional issue arises as whether the state or the tribe has the jurisdiction. When a county prosecutor or district
attorney stipulates that the matter is transferred to the jurisdiction of the tribal court, it is a clear indication of respect
for that court. [No valid agreement here in Togiak made between a Native or non-Native agency]
State of Washington vs. Guthrie, 1994
Tribes, which uphold and practice Tribal Law, Custom and Tradition often, have laws that are different than laws
and customs of the United States of America. The Kuiu Kw&an of Alaska successfully argued Personal Jurisdiction
in a criminal case in which Tlingit youth harmed a white man in Washington state. The Kuiu Tribal Court
successfully argued that Petitioners were subject to the jurisdiction of the Tribe under Tlingit Law wherever they
may reside.

June 23, 1994 memorandum: "Tribes, as sovereigns, are not subject to State jurisdiction, are not subordinate to State
Governments, and should not be dealt with through Federal/State processes and arrangements designed to serve the
interests of the general public..."
Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies
Government-to-Government Relationship with Tribal Governments
The United States has a unique legal and political relationship with Indian tribes and a special relationship with
Alaska Native entities as provided in the Constitution of the United States, treaties, and Federal statutes. Presidents
for decades have recognized this relationship. President Nixon announced a national policy of self-determination foi
Indian tribes in 1970. More recently, Executive Order 13175, entitled Consultation and Coordination with Indian
Tribal Governments, was issued in 2000. 1 reiterated my Administration's adherence to a government-to-government
relationship and support for tribal sovereignty and self-determination earlier this year in Executive Order 13336^
entitled American Indian and Alaska Native Education.
My Administration is committed to continuing to work with federally recognized tribal governments on al
government-to-government basis and strongly supports and respects tribal sovereignty and self-determination foi
tribal governments in the United States. I take pride in acknowledging and reaffirming the existence and durability
of our unique government-to-government relationship and these abiding principles.
:*
This commitment begins at the White House, where my Director of Intergovernmental Affairs serves as my White
House liaison with all Indian nations and works with federally recognized tribal governments on an
intergovernmental basis. Moreover, it is critical that all departments and agencies adhere to these principles anc
work with tribal governments in a manner that cultivates mutual respect and fosters greater understanding to
reinforce these principles.
Accordingly, the head of each executive department and agency (agency) shall continue to ensure to the greatest
extent practicable and as permitted by United States law that the agency's working relationship with federally
recognized tribal governments fully respects the rights of self-government and self-determination due triba]
governments. Department or agency inquiries regarding this memorandum, specifically those related to regulatory,
legislative, or budgetary issues, should be directed to the Office of Management and Budget
This memorandum is intended only to improve the internal management of the executive branch and is not intended
to, and does not, create any right, benefit, or trust responsibility, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in
equity, by a party against the United States, its agencies, entities, or instrumentalities, its officers or employees, oi
any other person.
The purported Order(s) issued by this court are/is void ab initio since it was issued during a period lacking no
subject matter and jurisdiction over the Sovereign parties. - 5

GEORGE W. BUSH
Will v. Michigan Dept. of State Police - Supreme Court ruling reported Nov. 1991
491 U.S. 5&, 57 LW 4677 (1989) State officials sued in their individual capacities are "persons" under 42 USC 1983
who may be held liable for damages for civil rights violations. State officials can be held personally liable foi
actions taken in the course of their official duties. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor wrote that Section 1983 was
designed to redress violation of civil rights by persons acting under color of state law and thus it would stand the
statute on its head to hold that a state official could not be held liable "precisely because of her authority" as a state
official
Comment: It is generally held that this ruling is a minimum ruling that may extend to other areas of injury.
So in conclusion Janella, there is more than enough ample documentation that I have the absolute Right, to
challenge by question all your right to enter upon my Tribal Land, attach my Inalienable Rights as a Freeborn
Natural Inhabitant into some nightmarish clutch, to presume I'm in debt to you people for any reason what so ever.
What side are you really on? Please explain in full detail. Are you an officer of the court? If so, show me your valid
oath of office. Is the public defender agency created and operated under the Executive Branch of government with
nothing to do with the Judicial Branch on equal footing as two of three independent branches of government, the
other being Legislative? Please explain. In fact is not the whole charade in the caption box at the top of this letter all
under the same administrative Executive Branch, paid by the same in conflict with Rule of Law under Common
Law? Please explain. Rexford says I have no respect for the "court or law", what "court or law" are in his mind? ]
believe he's referring to administrative courts and administrative codes that haven't got anything to do with me, the
living, breathing Sovereign on my Land, exercising my Rights to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happy-ness. To
keep applying the charade will only validate any jurisdictional challenge, as you people purport to do via the recent
charges which work to subvert My Jurisdictional challenge. Two weeks before Rexford Spoffords claims, I made a
valid challenge, which in the same light as a writ of mandamus, needed to be addressed under the rules of law
secured by the Supreme Law of the Land, the Constitution of the united States of America. Are you a party to said
laws? Please explain in full. I firmly believe that in this court you are collectively defending under the guise of
public that's a fraud and all orders made on my person are void ab initio! How can advice in protection of
inalienable Rights be, "bad advice that may harm her."? I believe your advice to be misleading, and if I'm correct
you should be ashamed of yourself until you rethink your moral values remembering we all have Birth Rights, undei
clever guise you only work to capitalize on. Only and when I injure a party will 1 ever be charged with a crime and
then under Rule of Law, I'm presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court of law (not code) and only if
convicted by a jury of my peers not tainted by third party instruction etc. Should you consider my position in error?

I believe there are hundreds on our press distribution list. I will print off a list for

Sharon- who all is on our media press release recepient list? I'd like to see who
received, for example, yesterday's presser we sent out right before 5pm re: Conoco" s
response.
There's something odd about a very vocal critic of our press releases and speeches - the
person must receive the pressers before the general public sees them - because this critic
posts them and spins our content into something negative everytime... and they're able to
do this before the presser even gets printed or reported on in the mainstream media.
Thanks

There* s a blogger named rfn. He started off as a big supporter, now he's a critic who
picks and chooses what issues to support us on. This morning he posted the press release
we sent out 4:45pm yesterday on Conoco"s response... and added that, essentially, I over-
react and panic with responding via pressers -like it's a bad thing. How would this
blogger have received the emailed presser unless he's a valid media person (and why would
a legit media person bother to be a regular blogger?) , or one of our folks sent it to him?
Strange thing is yesterday it was one of our folks who, as he does so often, warned me I'd
again look like I was over-reacting... and he did not want any pressers going out... He
cautions often that it doesn't do any good and even though he say he agrees with me that
we should be communicating more often and clearer with the public, he is very, very
hesitant to ever want pressers or statements going out in response to timely issues.

Re; Fw: Hmmmmm
Ha! That's exactly what I was thinking of.
It flippin ticks me off that we have to worry about this stuff. I mean the governor is
trying to run a little thing I like to call the state of alaska, and we have to worry
about someone possibly leaking info.

There's a blogger named rfn. He started off as a big supporter, now he's
a critic who picks and chooses what issues to support us on. This
morning he posted the press release we sent out 4:45pm yesterday on
Conoco M s response... and added that, essentially, I over-react and panic
with responding via pressers -like it's a bad thing. How would this
blogger have received the emailed presser unless he's a valid media
person (and why would a legit media person bother to be a regular
blogger?), or one of our folks sent it to him?

We were bummed too when we had to cancel. We have mtgs in DC, though, at the end of
February with the Natl Gov's Association, including a couple of meetings and events with
the President, and mtgs with the Feds on AGIA - and there was no way to squeeze in two
trips to DC in the same month. The 90 -day session puts even more pressure on me to stay in
Juneau as often as possible during these three months. Believe me, we tried to figure out
a way to do both Outside trips in one month, but with the huge criticism I receive for
even leaving Juneau to attend weekend mtgs and events in other parts of Alaska (and it's
our fellow Republicans who scream the loudest if I'm not in Juneau), there was no way to
fly to the East coast twice in such a short time span.
I apologize for that - and did not know you were going to be a part of that first DC
event. Sorry.

Hi! When I was back in D.C. early this month the NRA staff told me you were going to give
the opening speech at the CPAC Convention the first week in February. They were quite
thrilled that you were coming and asked me to tell them all about you. Later one of the
Vice Presidents asked me if I would come to the Convention and introduce you. I happily
agreed to do so. I was told that it was possible that Bush might come also (although X
wasn't asked to introduce him). So they arranged for a ticket and a hotel for me. Then
late this week they advised that you had a conflict and had to cancel. Bummer. They were
quite disappointed and I know I was. I, of course, canceled my trip because I had plenty
to do at the office and now nothing to do there. I had the start of a good introduction
ready for you. Hopefully we both get to perform those chores sometime in the future. My
best , WAR

Media list
Sharon- who all is on our media press release recepient list? I'd like to see who
received, for example, yesterday's presser we sent out right before 5pm re: Conoco' s
response.
There's something odd about a very vocal critic of our press releases and speeches - the
person must receive the pressers before the general public sees them - because this critic
posts them and spins our content into something negative every t ime. . . and they're able to
do this before the presser even gets printed or reported on in the mainstream media.
Thanks

House
Governor,
Hopefully the House warmed up; please don't hesitate to call as you shouldn't have to deal
with such a cold house.
Just a quick re-cap on day to day things:
willow wants spaghetti tomorrow. Do you want her to plan the menu for the week like she
used to with a copy emailed to you and/ or left in the kitchen.
Diane has been packing a lunch; and making eggs, toast, bacon, etc... for Piper (if she
hasn't already had her oatmeal). Let me know if you want this handled dif ferently-if not
we'll continue as is.
I want the staff and myself to be helpful, but most importantly we want to do things how
you want them : )
Just an option if you and Willow are busy and you don't want flack for having security or
me picking Piper up. If you were comfortable with it- Kaitlin could walk over and pick
Piper up at the bus stop and walk her home or take her to the Creating Place to do crafts
I thought her bus came at 4:02 sharp-I felt horrible that we missed her that day-so 3:55
is the p.u. time for now on.
I haven't found a piano teacher from a church yet, but still looking. I think there's a
teacher downtown, but not someone who I know. 1*11 see if they're available in case I
can't find anyone else.
4-7 days for the mirror and new bedding to arrive.
I'm ready to get the bed installed, let me know if you have any questions
Thanks ,
Erika

Joe was fine with the language. Thanks too for your encouragement. I appreciate it
I took the time to re-read portions of AGIA and had my memory refreshed about DNR being
required to promulgate regs containing the fiscal regime before the first open season. The
producers should communicate with DNR about those regs just like everyone else in the
public- -through the public regulatory process- -not try to negotiate separate independent
deals with the state. So, yes, we'll hear from them and respond to them in that context- -
that ' s the law : )

Re: Media Advisofy: Governor Palin to Hold Press Availability
He's outright lying if he's telling people you said that. Yes- his city's hurting with
high crime rates, and it must be his nature to want someone to blame for the problems- you
must be a convenient target today for him. We'll be ready for this if anything comes up
about it tomorrow, or anytime in the future. He's got amazing and misdirected boldness on
this issue - he's blaming the wrong guy (and gal) on this one. Thanks Talis! Keep up the

Dear governor palin. Yes I can talk about Exxon tomorrow. I just got off the phone after
an argument with begich. I called him. He had apparently told a bp group today that
apparently a 60 percent recidivism rate is acceptable to the ag because I said so at his
meeting with you mr and others last year. I called to tell him I did not appreciate it.
He then went on a rant. Says our 350000 d a budget increase is a measure of our
administrations lack of concern about crime. The criminal justice system is collapsing.
The anchorage d a office is collapsing etc. He refused to acknowledge he had implied
anything other than that in front of you I had said there was no problem with 60 percent
recidivism. Maybe I can cool down and say something about this tomorrow as well. It is
clear from his comments that he blames this administration for bad crime stats in
anchorage. I thought he had gotten past this theme but clearly he is putting a lot of
focus on it probably anticipating it may be an issue in his senate race. Talis.

Nikoiski Fuel Crisis Update - January 28th, 2008
Dear All:
The Community of Nikoiski has an estimated 500 gallons of #1 heating oil
left. They are completely out of #2 heating oil. This is enough #1 to
run the power plant for another three or four days. Currently several of
the buildings within the village, including the community building,
lodge, and tribal office are completely out of fuel.
The Delta Western barge is scheduled to head to the Pribilofs in a
couple days and be there for a couple of weeks. Nikoiski may be
scheduled after that effort.
For this reason, another emergency fuel delivery and a long-term
emergency fuel plan is desperately needed. The only method currently
available is by air charter. This is not only the most expensive method
but also provides very limited amounts of fuel .
The Coast Guard will not allow any further by- sea fuel deliveries,
unless the State of Alaska declares an emergency. APIA and the Nikoiski
IRA request guidance from the State of Alaska regarding how the State of
Alaska defines "an emergency" and how an emergency declaration may be
PRA GSP01 0010858
applied in this instance.
Fuel delivered by air charter costs the community and individuals on
fixed incomes $10.50 to 10.87 per gallon. Fuel delivered by sea costs
considerably less and provides the opportunity for greater volume. An
equally serious problem is the lack of funding to pay for the continued
emergency deliveries which will be needed. Nikolski has submitted their
paperwork for the State of Alaska's Community Energy Assistance Program.
The Nikolski IRA is currently holding a Community Meeting to discuss the
situation and assess what other resources could be applied to pay for
emergency fuel delivery.
A new update will follow upon new information. Please let me know if you
need any more information.

Sarah,
You stated to my colleague, at an Anchorage fundraiser, that you had concerns about the
Gaming Commission Initiative (05GA#2), slated to be on the ballot this August. There was a
mistake by the Attorney General's office about the language and intent of the Initiative.
That's probly where your confusion came from.
By going through Jay Pullins at the Lt. Governor's office, that confusion has been
eliminated and the "Alaskans For Gaming Reform" are dropping our suit against former Lt.
Governor Lehman.
I have talked to you about this subject in our meetings during your campaign. I would
like to meet with you again to clarify any questions you may now have about the intent of
the Initiative.
I would be available anytime here in Anchorage and will be in Juneau the week of
February 18th. Our charr legislative summit is during that week. I can however come down
sooner if that would be more convenient.

Governor and Mike,
The statewide fleet manager just sent this note— we're checking it out and will try to
get this vehicle available to us. I can also ask Fred to make the state x-class vehicle
he drives available to visiting staff in lieu of rental cars. He could use his personal
vehicle to commute to work when the state car is not available to him.
I spoke with the statewide fleet manager and she advised me that x-class vehicles usually
become identified and available in the summer months when agencies are returning fleet
vehicles to DOT, She is going to watch the inventory this summer to try to find small
SUVs and front wheel sedans that are in good enough condition to ship to Juneau for us.
DOT turns x-class vehicles over to requesting agencies "for life"... and charge
approximately $50/month per vehicle for their deferred maintenance/replacement budget. We
PRA GSP01 0010871
would assume all upkeep, maintenance and repairs on the vehicles. She also thought that
we could arrange for the vehicles to be stored in the Glacier Highway DOT yard when not
being used by our staff.
She knows we want the vehicles and will continue to notify us when possibilities come up

Subject: Phone message for Gov re: Ron Paul's Presidential Campaign (contact: Christian
.Piccolo)
Importance: High
Janice / Kris - Last Friday afternoon, I received a phone call from Christian Piccolo who
would love to speak to the Governor if she would like to hear about Ron Paul's
presidential campaign. Since Governor Palin had minimum support for the Republican Party
during her campaigning, he believes that she would be a great supporter for Ron Paul as he
is facing similar issues running for president. He stated that 5 minutes is all the time
he would need and he would inform the Governor of "who is Ron Paul."
Following are some of the goals/visions of Ron Paul that Christian stated off hand:
PRA GSP01 0010877
He wants to.
- taring ALL troops home (globally)
- reduce the size of the Federal Government
- eliminate the Department of Education
- eliminate homeland security
- eliminate illegal immigration
- give back to American's % of what they make (re: income taxes)
I believe that Christian is part of Ron Paul's campaign committee and he said that he will
gladly speak with anyone at any time and any day. His cell phone number is (€08) 728-2341
and he has a website for more information which is www.ronpaulchat.net
<www.ronpaulchat.net> <http://www.ronpaulchat.net/ <http://www.ronpaulchat.net/> > .
I personally don't know if Governor Palin would choose to support Ron Paul, but she may be
willing to listen to what he has to say. Christian would be greatly appreciated if anyone
would call - just to receive 5 more minutes of information. Do either of you have any
suggestions on how to handle this? Would she call him?
Let me know if I can do anything else with this. Thanks! Hannah

Re: Federal Earmark Policy
What's not helping is (allegedly) Rep. Young traveling the state asking for a "show of
hands for those who appreciate our earmarks" in different community settings.,. Then
seeing the majority of hands raised - to respond "Tell that to you Gov, she says we
shouldn ' t provide earmarks " ,
Now, granted, this report came back to me from Homer f s Mayor Hornaby- and I don't think
he's a fan of Young's (and I know he's not a fan of mine), but the mixed messages from
anyone is causing confusion on all this. Just fyi.

Subject: RE: Federal Earmark Policy
I agree with you about the mixed messages coming from the delegation. On the one hand,
they have encouraged us to reduce the number of earmarks and to provide matching funds.
On the other hand, they seem to be saying that we no longer have confidence in their power
and credibility when we do this.
Regarding your second point, we have been working with Randy Ruaro to make sure that the
Congressional delegation understands the reasons for DOTPF's proposed earmark policy.
Concerning your third point, many of the local communities will soon make their annual
pilgrimage to PC, and we will have an additional opportunity to talk with them about
earmark policy. In my opinion, they really aren't adversely affected by what we're doing
in DC.

Thanks John - the discussion over earmarks is going down several tracks here -
1. State legislators want WRITTEN guidelines from the governor on what is acceptable
under "state earmarks", the criteria the governor will use to evaluate projects, etc. I
have been asked on the record - twice now - to produce such a document
2. Mayors from all over the state were here with AML and fussing about the DOTPF's
revised earmark policy that was sent to the Congressional Delegation in draft form
regarding those community requests that are not sufficient to fund the project and what
the state's role is in that; and
3. The State of Alaska's federal funding requests and our desire to link state and
federal interests and priorities in narrowing the number of requests we submit to the
delegation.
And, I think there have been some confusing messages from the delegation about what the
state should be doing versus what communities and organizations should continue to do in
terms of seeking federal funds directly from them.
So, I expect there will be resistance to virtually anything we are trying to do - KJR

Subject: Federal Earmark Policy
I don't think that there will be a moratorium on earmarks, but the attached statements,
which are still evolving, provide additional impetus to the Governor's federal earmark
policy.
In particular, the President's demand to reduce earmarks, the need for greater
transparency, and more intense interests in matching funds all rebut the comments of Karl
Marrs arid others who appear wedded to past practices.

When are you going to write an accurate story to counter the critics? The last couple of
days all I've read are Wesley Loy or Stephen Milakowsky articles that quote Halcro, praise
Conoco, and disparage the administration. I'm not saying you should only praise the
administration, but a balanced story would be fantastic! Seriously, when?

Yes, sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I have a meeting today to discuss phase 2
of the plumbing project and will discuss hooking the washer up and where the outlet is
needed. From there I can schedule the t-bed and washer at the same time ASAP. The
basement outlet is already used for the dryer so that doesn't help-it's better long term
to add the extra breakers to the 3rd floor as it's at maximum capacity. This was
confirmed by the Facilities Manager and the electrician-so 3rd floor has most benefits to
the House. We're getting there- sorry for not keeping you in the loop on the status.

Speaker Harris
Susitna Hydroelectric Project
Sorry to disappoint you, but you are making Susitna far more difficult than it is.
You do not have to set a side any funds, $3 billion as mention in newspaper. It is
bondable and will stand on its own. Some Federal Loan Guarantees, the hard nose
commercial banker type not the gasline give a way type, may help lower the
interest rate. It is like buying commercial loan insurance,
A letter to any of the members of the congressional delegation asking, Sen. Stevens
would be my preference but you can ask any of them, do not ask the congressional
delegation to jointly ask, it would just delay things one is all it takes, the Corps to
review the finances of Susitna. Just that simple. If any member of the delegation
asks the Corps, the Corps is obligated to carry out the review WITHOUT funding.
Now if you feel guilty about getting something for nothing and want to put in some
funds here is the deal I had some years back, $100,000 for a financial review, just
notes. Ifitwasa"go" then another $150,000 to publish the review to FERC
standards. Now I think $150,000 for the review and $200,000 to publish would be
more than generous.
First, Ask the congressional delegation to ask the Corps. Second then funding if
you are so moved. I would provide for funding because the Corps maybe
personnel short and some fluids would be helpful to secure outside assistance to
move the process along faster. There is some urgency to get as far through FERC
as possible while the Bush Administration is in office. It is just speed not corner
cutting.
For * goodness sake' do not ask for private review that is what screwed up things

last time. Nobody in the world knows more about hydroelectric dams than the Corps.
They maybe a little slower but they are sure footed, creditable and bankable .
Had the Susitna project been construct when proposed and refinanced when interest rate
were low the railbelt and as far over Valdez would now be enjoying power @ $0.03/ KW
I see no reason why Susitna could not be used to provide power to TAPS
It was stated that under a Jimmy Carter Administration it would take 33 months from
Susitna resubmission to FERC until a FERC issued a license to construct. Under a Bush
administration, and expedited, I think it would take six months — less than year.
Remember Susitna with its $158 million EIS, which set an international standard for
EIS's, has been through FERC once and preliminary design was underway when
shelved. At the time Susitna was shelved and in the State's hands , the Corps object to
Susitna being shelving, which very unusual for them to speak out when Susitna was no
longer in the Corps hands, because the Corps was so incensed; they had started the work
on Susitna and hated too see a good project be dropped because the Costs had been kited
by 25% and for political purposes having nothing to do with dams. The Hammond's
Greenies did the same thing to Bradley Lake but because Bradley Lake was small the
legislature funded Bradley Lake anyway. Bradley Lake came in 25% under budg et .
As for SEAN COCKERHAM he has a lot fiction mixed with fact to make a story.
Remember the Anchorage News work hard to kill Susitna and never really knew any
thing about Susitna nor electrical generation or even their own electric bills.
Rep Mike Doogan was probably working for the News at the time and probably took lot
swings at Susitna as only he can. Doogan does not want Susitna revisited because it will
come out just how wrong they were. Just like they were on Bradley Lake.

Subject: Phone message for Gov re: Ron Paul's Presidential Campaign
(contact: Christian Piccolo)
Importance : High
Janice / Kris - Last Friday afternoon, I received a phone call from
Christian Piccolo who would love to speak to the Governor if she would
like to hear about Ron Paul's presidential campaign. Since Governor
Palin had minimum support for the Republican Party during her
campaigning, he believes that she would be a great supporter for Ron
Paul as he is facing similar issues running for president. He stated
that 5 minutes is all the time he would need and he would inform the
Governor of "who is Ron Paul."
Following are some of the goals/visions of Ron Paul that Christian
stated off hand:
He wants to...
taxes)
- bring ALL troops home (globally)
- reduce the size of the Federal Government
- eliminate the Department of Education
- eliminate homeland security
- eliminate illegal immigration
- give back to American's H of what they make (re: income
I believe that Christian is part of Ron Paul's campaign committee and
he said that he will gladly speak with anyone at any time and any day.
His cell phone number is (608) 728-2341 and he has a website for more
information which is www . ronpaulchat . net
< http : //www . ronpaulchat . net/ > ,
I personally don't know if Governor Palin would choose to support Ron
Paul, but she may be willing to listen to what he has to say.
Christian would be greatly appreciated if anyone would call - just to
receive 5 more minutes of information. Do either of you have any
suggestions on how to handle this? Would she call him?
Let me know if I can do anything else with this. Thanks! Hannah

You asked when the Board of Fish meeting occurs as they will take up proposals on 50 hp regs. BOF

Feb. 4 and 7. They're looking for direction from us so they can follow suit is what i'm being told.
Perhaps we can take 15 minutes with the governor ahead of the Habitat meeting to discuss the direction

Governor and Mike,
The statewide fleet manager just sent this note— we're checking it out and will try to get this vehicle available to
us. I can also ask Fred to make the state x-class vehicle he drives available to visiting staff in lieu of rental cars.
He could use his personal vehicle to commute to work when the state car is not available to him.
I spoke with the statewide fleet manager and she advised me that x-ciass vehicles usually become identified and
available in the summer months when agencies are returning fleet vehicles to DOT. She is going to watch the
inventory this summer to try to find small SUVs and front wheel sedans that are in good enough condition to ship
to Juneau for us. DOT turns x-class vehicles over to requesting agencies "for life"... and charge approximately
$50/month per vehicle for their deferred maintenance/replacement budget We would assume all upkeep,
maintenance and repairs on the vehicles. She also thought that we could arrange for the vehicles to be stored in
the Glacier Highway DOT yard when not being used by our staff.
She knows we want the vehicles and will continue to notify us when possibilities come up.

Subject: Options for Bed
Hello Governor,
The two options for the tanning bed are:
1 . Install the bed in the basement next to the dryer and share the 220 outlet with the dryer.
The bed would fit against the wall where the table is currently located; plugging and unplugging the bed and dryer
would be necessary as an extension cord cannot be used with the 220 outlet. (The Housekeeping table could be
moved to the Kitchen Prep room.)
2. 220 outlet in Cedar Closet (Additional breaker box to increase capacity to 3rd floor).
Benefits to the House:
The third floor breaker is at capacity; it would be beneficial to increase capacity for future use verses the
basement where it isn't an issue. This option would allow for additional circuit loads on the 3rd floor to install
washer/dryer during phase 2 of the plumbing project. The state would pay for the replacement of the breaker box.
Anchor Electric: Cedar Room $3,252.35
It would take 1-2 days to schedule the electrician and a few days work to have it up and running.
Please advise on how you would like for me to proceed.
Thanks,

Subject: Re: Location of new Crime Lab
Governor,
After reviewing the options on where to build the new Crime Lab, Anchorage was chosen over Kenai and The
Mat-Su Valley for the following reasons:
• APD is by far the largest user at 72% and even if such usage rate continued, a move to Kenai would drive
up their expense in shipping evidence and slow their responsiveness to the citizens they serve.
• The staff currently working at the Crime Lab would have to uproot themselves and their families and that
may cause some to re-think employment with DPS; a consideration as the crime Lab is currently
understaffed.
• Many Troopers transport their prisoners into Anchorage and hand carry evidence to the Crime Lab now, to
move the Lab out of Anchorage would further tie up that traveling Trooper to other communities, like
Palmer or Kenai, before he or she can return to their assigned post.
• Finally, the cost for the land in Anchorage is the same price as it would be in Kenai, no cost. (As per
conversation with MOA Heritage Land Bank Manager with Deputy Commissioner Glass.)
Any questions, please contact me anytime.

Subject: Options for Bed
Hello Governor,
The two options for the tanning bed are:
1 . Install the bed in the basement next to the dryer and share the 220 outlet with the dryer.
The bed would fit against the wall where the table is currently located; plugging and unplugging the bed and dryer
would be necessary as an extension cord cannot be used with the 220 outlet (The Housekeeping table could be
moved to the Kitchen Prep room.)
2. 220 outlet in Cedar Closet (Additional breaker box to increase capacity to 3rd floor).
Benefits to the House:
The third floor breaker is at capacity; It would be beneficial to increase capacity for future use verses the
basement where it isn't an issue. This option would allow for additional circuit loads on the 3rd floor to install
washer/dryer during phase 2 of the plumbing project The state would pay for the replacement of the breaker box.
Anchor Electric: Cedar Room $3,252.35
It would take 1-2 days to schedule the electrician and a few days work to have it up and running.
Please advise on how you would like for me to proceed.
Thanks,
Erika

made a fairly poignant comment about how Conoco has produced more paper in press releases
and ads than the number of pages in their thin proposal.
On a related issue, Conoco/BP/Newsminer have dominated things so entirely that people
actually are thankful for the different perspective. It's almost as if they've been cowed
into not saying what they really want to because they haven't been armed with good
arguments. 1*11 bet I had 8-10 separate conversations with people who cautiously looked
over my shoulder to make sure the Conoco and BP reps didn't hear them say how. thankful
they are that someone is speaking up, and how thankful they are for your leadership. Then,
I was out in the car, checking my Blackberry, when a woman walked over and thanked me for
standing up "for the little people" because they had been "taking a licking in their
town. "
It was a good day and I let the Chamber crowd know that it wasn't true you weren't talking
with Conoco. That you spoke with Bowles last week in Jnu and two weeks before that from
Anc, etc. I could see a few stunned faces (positive) .
That's the report ... . I' 11 be in Juneau Wed/Thurs. See ya soon.

Subject: Re: House
Thanks Erika- I'll still have Willow pick up Piper at bus stop, or I will, until we can
work out something consistent with Kaitlin - and we'll walk her, over here where Willow (or
Kaitlin) can watch her until I return. I'm happy to pay Kaitlin for watching her after
school, but our critics would love to misinterpret any situation we have into: "Gov's
using staff as babysitters' 1 ... we just can't do that and I'm under a constant microscope
so it's unacceptable for anyone to misperceive that the days Piper is here that she ' s ever
"babysat" by staff.
Also, since we don't have a chef, there again I can't afford to have the perception be
that I'm using staff as full-time chefs. I'm happy to cook, and Willow is expected to do
so also. Most helpful is - since I don't have much time time to go to the store - when
House groceries are purchased that I'm able to make the list so I know what I'll be
cooking. For instance, I'll make the spaghetti for Willow, so having the ingredients here
already is most convenient. I'll talk to her about not assuming staff includes a chef! She
shouldn't be suggesting any menu except to tell me what she wants to eat. We're still
trying to use use up the ingredients that we find downstairs - haven't seen spaghetti
stuff so if that can be purchased, great.
Also, the usual fruit for the kids to be purchased - and maybe this weekend I can stock up
on anything else I see missing.
Bottom line- I don't want to over-use staff for cooking, I'm sure it's not in anyone's job
description and don't want anyone to think we're taking advantage of anyone here to do
that task. Even putting together Piper's lunch - I appreciate that offer - it's easy for
us to do the night before though, or I lay items out in the morning for Piper to choose
from... again the intention is to never be accused of using staff for duties they weren't
hired to do... remember how easy it is for situations to be misconstrued and "spun" into
negative situations - and then publicized. I, too, make her a lunch- but she just thinks
it's more fun to have someone else bag it and hand it to her.
PRA GSP01 0010931
It's fun for Piper to eat downstairs in the mornings when Diane cooks something, but my
assumption and desire is that Diane wants to whip something up anyway, maybe for herself
which is absolutely fine, and Piper can share it - but I would never ask her to take on
the duties of cooking when I'm sure that's not in her job description - and I'm learning
in state govt that job descriptions and titles are sticklers... so if Diane is cooking
something for herself, Piper can share in it. Otherwise she finishes her breakfast up here
and she's fine.
Sounds good on the mirror timing. It will be great to get a mirror in here. That's
something I could do myself also- just haven't been able to find the time to go shop for
comforter will be to her likings
"MWB-VT.-r-.'i-Jt--..*:-.
Thanks Erika. I know you have the best of intentions and everything's sincerely
appreciated... I am not "wired" to ask much of staff, so I won't ask anyone to go beyond
what they were hired to do in the previous administration - and I know our personal family
life is supposed to be kept personal and there isn't the overt attempt to publicize my
family life in Juneau, but you've seen how it seems everything (and any little blunder)
does get publicized anyway. That's not fair to my kids, so I go above and beyond to make
sure we're following every rule so there are no acussations that we're abusing the
priviledge of staying in this house.
My understanding after asking Security over and over again is that it IS in their job *
descriptions to transport the family to wherever they need to be - so watching Piper walk
from the bus stop shouldn't be a problem for them, though I'm always with them when they
do walk the block down the street to see her exit the bus.
I'd take flack if you walked her to and fro, unfortunately, but if I hired (and paid)
Kaitlin to do it, it shouldn't be a problem. If even that's a problem, then we have a
bigger problem trying to live in Juneau than ever imagined.
I'll ask Todd again about his advice on the outlet - that's not my forte so he'll have to
chime in on whether it should be newly installed upstairs for the washer/dryer, or just
use downstairs basement outlet. Hopefully he can answer that today.
Thanks !

Governor,
Hopefully the House warmed up; please don't hesitate to call as you shouldn't have to
deal with such a cold house.
Just a quick re-cap on day to day things:
"- v " -i^-,r-^---"-^- — ■■-*-■ ■ ■-■-- *-T- -j,—-*>"j-.7
Willow wants spaghetti tomorrow. Do you want her to plan the menu for the week like she
used to with a copy emailed to you and/ or left in the kitchen.
Diane has been packing a lunch; and making eggs, toast, bacon, etc... for Piper (if she
hasn't already had her oatmeal). Let me know if you want this handled differently- if not
we'll continue as is.
I want the staff and myself to be helpful, but most importantly we want to do things how
you want them : )
Just an option if you and Willow are busy and you don't want flack for having security or
me picking Piper up. If you were comfortable with it- Kaitlin could walk over and pick
Piper up at the bus stop and walk her home or take her to the Creating Place to do crafts,
I thought her bus came at 4:02 sharp-I felt horrible that we missed her that day-so 3:55
is the p.u. time for now on.
I haven't found a piano teacher from a church yet, but still looking, I think there's a
teacher downtown, but not someone who I know. I'll see if they're available in case I
can't find anyone else.
4-7 days for the mirror and new bedding to arrive.
I'm ready to get the bed installed, let me know if you have any questions
Thanks ,

Governor - I have just spoken with Judy Bittner, Board Pres., Iditarod Ntl. Historic Trail
regarding Saturday, 02.02.08 - Seward Event. I explained to Judy that due to the aircraft
section notifying us that they are unable to land in Seward during this time of year, you
would not be available to take an 8 hour section out of your schedule for this event. I
also explained that Kris Perry is on medical leave an unavailable. Judy of course was

Yeah- we may want to think about changing location for press availability. I had assumed
Erika and staff would have thought to un-decorate from the October Christmas decorations
in the house- at least the very dead tree and wreaths to be removed... I asked Erika what
the plan had been to remove things like the tree- she said she was waiting to hear from
me. Hope I didn't offend, but I told her it's Jan 29, press will be here in a few hours,
and some reporters may make the Christmas decor the focus and/or brunt of jokes. May have
to move location back to capitol bldg if everything's a mess.

Attached is a spreadsheet of all vacant exempt or partially exempt positions. Thought
this could be useful for you to have. You'll notice under Office of the Governor it says
there's a vacant deputy chief of staff position. This is because Cheryl Frasca and Nizich
served as deputies under Murkowski. Ni2ich fills a temporary position, Frasca filled the
permanent position. Also vacant but not on this list, the press secretary and
communications assistant positions because they are so recently vacated.

Subject: Re: House
Thanks Erika- I'll still have Willow pick up Piper at bus stop, or I will, until we can
work out something consistent with Kaitlin - and we'll walk her over here where Willow (or
Kaitlin) can watch her until I return. I'm happy to pay Kaitlin for watching her after
school, but our critics would love to misinterpret any situation we have into: "Gov's
using staff as babysitters"... we just can't do that and I'm under a constant microscope
so it's unacceptable for anyone to misperceive that the days Piper is here that she's ever
"babysat" by staff.
Also, since we don't have a chef, there again I can't afford to have the perception be
that I'm using staff as full-time chefs. I'm happy to cook, and Willow is expected to do
so also. Most helpful is - since I don't have much time time to go to the store - when
House groceries are purchased that I'm able to make the list so I know what I'll be
cooking. For instance, I'll make the spaghetti for Willow, so having the ingredients here
already is most convenient. I'll talk to her about not assuming staff includes a chef! She
shouldn't be suggesting any menu except to tell me what she wants to eat. We're still
trying to use use up the ingredients that we find downstairs - haven't seen spaghetti
stuff so if that can be purchased, great.
Also, the usual fruit for the kids to be purchased - and maybe this weekend I can stock up
on anything else I see missing.
Bottom line- I don't want to over-use staff for cooking, I'm sure it's not in anyone's job
description and don't want anyone to think we're taking advantage of anyone here to do
that task. Even putting together Piper's lunch - I appreciate that offer - it's easy for
us to do the night before though, or I lay items out in the morning for Piper to choose
from... again the intention is to never be accused of using staff for duties they weren't
hired to do... remember how easy it is for situations to be misconstrued and "spun" into
negative situations - and then publicized. I, too, make her a lunch- but she just thinks
it's more fun to have someone else bag it and hand it to her.
It's fun for Piper to eat downstairs in the mornings when Diane cooks something, but my
assumption and desire is that Diane wants to whip something up anyway, maybe for herself
which is absolutely fine, and Piper can share it - but I would never ask her to take on
the duties of cooking when I'm sure that's not in her job description - and I'm learning
in state govt that job descriptions and titles are sticklers... so if Diane is cooking
something for herself, Piper can share in it. Otherwise she finishes her breakfast up here
and she's fine.
Sounds good on the mirror timing, it will be great to get a mirror in here. That's
something I could do myself also- just haven't been able to find the time to go shop for
one so I appreciate you finding one. Piper will appreciate, too, that the new, needed
comforter will be to her liking!
Thanks Erika. I know you have the best of intentions and everything's sincerely

PRA GSP01 0010957
appreciated.,. I am not "wired" to ask much of staff, so I won't ask anyone to go beyond
what they were hired to do in the previous administration - and I know our personal family
life is supposed to be kept personal and there isn't the overt attempt to publicize my
family life in Juneau, but you've seen how it seems everything (and any little blunder)
does get publicized anyway. That's not fair to my kids, so I go above and beyond to make
sure we're following every rule so there are no acussations that we're abusing the
priviledge of staying in this house.
My understanding after asking Security over and over again is that it IS in their job
descriptions to transport the family to wherever they need to be - so watching Piper walk
from the bus stop shouldn't be a problem for them, though I'm always with them when they
do walk the block down the street .to see her exit the bus.
I'd take flack if you walked her to and fro, unfortunately, but if I hired (and paid)
Kaitlin to do it, it shouldn't be a problem. If even that's a problem, then we have a
bigger problem trying to live in Juneau than ever imagined.
I'll ask Todd again about his advice on the outlet - that's not my forte so he'll have to
chime in on whether it should be newly installed upstairs for the washer/dryer, or just
use downstairs basement outlet. Hopefully he can answer that today.
Thanks !

Governor ,
Hopefully the House warmed up; please don't hesitate to call as you shouldn't have to
deal with such a cold house.
Just a quick re- cap on day to day things:
willow wants spaghetti tomorrow. Do you want her to plan the menu for the week like she
used to with a copy emailed to you and/or left in the kitchen.
PRA GSP01 0010958
Diane has been packing a lunch; and making eggs, toast, bacon, etc... for Piper (if she
hasn't already had her oatmeal). Let me know if you want this handled differently- if not
we'll continue as is.
I want the staff and myself to be helpful, but most importantly we want to do things how
you want them . ; )
Just an option if you and Willow are busy and you don't want flack for having security or
me picking Piper up. If you were comfortable with it- Kaitlin could walk over and pick
Piper up at the bus stop and walk her home or take her to the Creating Place to do crafts,
I thought her bus came at 4:02 sharp-I felt horrible that we missed her that day-so 3:55
is the p.u. time for now on.
I haven't found a piano teacher from a church yet, but still looking. I think there's a
teacher downtown, but not someone who I know, I ! ll see if they're available in case I
can't find anyone else.
4-7 days for the mirror and new bedding to arrive.
I'm ready to get the bed installed, let me know if you have any questions
Thanks ,

No. 08-2513
Jan. 29, 2008
AMHS releases schedule
(JUNEAU, Alaska) — The Alaska Marine Highway System (AHMS) today announced the release of its 2008 summer
schedule.
"While we apologize for the delay in getting the schedule out, we are happy to present the schedule to those interested in
traveling with us, and we certainly don't expect any future schedule release delays," said Dennis Hardy, Deputy
Commissioner of Marine Operations, Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF). "The delay was a
one-time occurrence that resulted from major changes in our schedule. The changes were necessary to make more
efficient use of the vessels and help meet the needs of communities like Haines, Skagway, and Sitka."
AMHS general manager, Capt. John Falvey, explained that although this year's summer schedule was later than recent
years, AMHS officials worked very hard to accommodate persons contacting AMHS to book reservations.
"AMHS has tracked calls from customers seeking to make reservations when the schedule was unavailable," Falvey
said. "Our staff will immediately begin returning calls to customers and booking those reservations."
The schedule and online reservations are available on the AMHS website at www.ferryalaska.com . The schedule will be
included in the Alaska guide - The Milepost. The schedule is available in calendar format on its website homepage under
"Travel Options; Calendar of Port-to-Port Sailings," at https://www.dot.state.ak.us/oars/reservations/CalendarFM.amhsf .
Online reservations are now available.
"The AMHS website is filled with a wealth of information that provides travelers an

Governor,
Attached is a spreadsheet of all vacant exempt or partially exempt positions. Thought this could be useful for you
to have. You'll notice under Office of the Governor it says there's a vacant deputy chief of staff position. This is
because Cheryl Frasca and Nizich served as deputies under Murkowski. Nizich fills a temporary position, Frasca
filled the permanent position. Also vacant but not on this list, the press secretary and communications assistant
positions because they are so recently vacated.

Unfortunately, I think that Halcro's description of the meeting is pretty accurate. He
missed a few details. For example, Pat was also there, and the gas team did far more in
DC than just meet with the delegation.
With the gas team, we are implementing initiatives in several quarters to address the
points discussed in the delegation meeting. Beyond this, I didn't see much new in the
content of the exchanges which occurred.
The delegation is convinced that we should resume negotiations with the producers. We
have responded that you stand by the principles in AGIA and that there may be a role for
the producers at some point later on.
I can handle the disagreement on substance. But, even after all these years, I can't
understand the personal attacks and vehemence of Mr. Halcro and some of his allies.

If this is another case of Halrco lying, then someone needs to call him on it - including
mainstream media that ,gives him a forum, such as ADN and his new employer KBYR. Even KTUtf
continuing to go to Halcro for counterpoints re: much of what our Admin does. He
discredits all these media outlets.
He's gotten away, with lies for too long - and if this is another one, he must be called on

There were 11 people in the meeting. For the State, they were Marty, Tom, Pat, and Larry
Then, there were Senator Stevens and three of his staff: George Lowe (Chief of Staff),
Kate Williams (Legislative Director) , and Kevin Simpson (Energy) . Also present were
Senator Murkowski and two of her staff: Isaac Edwards (Legislative Director) and Chuck
Kleeschulte (Energy) .
I can't figure out how Halcro got the information and don't know of any way to check at
this end. Senator Stevens has always insisted on the confidentiality of such meetings and
that has been respected by all concerned.
We've spent part of this morning correcting some inaccurate information that came out of
the meeting from the Senate side.

My first question is how did Halcro get this information. Someone in the meeting
obviously provided it. I don't like that. Such disclosure is not consistent with the
relationship we hope to have with the delegation.
In our debrief with the gas team afterwards, we discussed each DC meeting and what, if
anything, we need to do. We concluded that we should ask for a separate, low profile
meeting with Senator Murkowski in Alaska just to review the facts, and I have requested
this but have not heard back.
Senator Stevens is adamant (and probably so is Senator Murkowski) . In our collective
opinion, we need to continue to educate and inform, not cut off communications.
PRA GSP01 0010973
Fortunately, we're not asking for anything now from Congress or the delegation. If there
is activity, it will be at FERC and perhaps DOE. The reality is that AGIA is the only
game in town, and I believe that the delegation understands that.
Larry and I are continuing to respond to specific questions from the delegation, and
hopefully that dialogue will help. The next big DC event is FERC's next report to
Congress on the gasline. Collectively, I believe we f ve done everything we can to help
FERC understand the current situation.
Because of the importance of your question, I'm taking the liberty of adding the Governor
tp our email exchange.

On a more optimistic note, all of the other meetings went very well. The participants
were interested and receptive.

In a meeting with both Alaska Senator Ted Stevens and Senator Lisa Murkowski, Irwin and
Rutherford encountered Senators unwilling to accept their sales pitch. Both Stevens and
Murkowski were reportedly cranky and blunt about AGIA.
Stevens apparently told Irwin and Rutherford, "You're not listening and you didn't listen

And, at one point, Stevens' cut off Irwin as he was waxing poetic about the benefits of

Jan 30: Mr. AGIA goes to Washington
Last week, the AGIA architects traveled to Washington D.C. to deliver an AGIA update back
to Alaska's Congressional delegation.
With a year behind us and little progress, DNR Commissioner Tom Irwin and DNR Deputy-
Commissioner Marty Rutherford ran head first into two skeptical Alaska Senators.
In a meeting with both Alaska Senator Ted Stevens and Senator Lisa Murkowski, Irwin and
Rutherford encountered Senators unwilling to accept their sales pitch. Both Stevens and
Murkowski were reportedly cranky and blunt about AGIA.
Stevens apparently told Irwin and Rutherford, "You're not listening and you didn't listen
last time,"
And, at one point, Stevens cut off Irwin as he was waxing poetic about the benefits of
AGIA and said, "Don't philosophize with me."
As a friend of mine pointed out, it's great political theater but it doesn't build a
pipeline.

The point that he puts the comments in quotations is really disturbing. Either someone
kept copius not and gave them to him, or he again is attributing quotes inappropriately

There were 11 people in the meeting. For the State, they were Marty, Tom, Pat, and
Larry .
Then, there were Senator Stevens and three of his staff: George Lowe (Chief of Staff),
Kate Williams (Legislative Director) , and Kevin Simpson (Energy) . Also present were
Senator Murkowski and two of her staff: Isaac Edwards {Legislative Director) and Chuck
Kleeschulte (Energy) .
I can't figure out how Halcro got the information and don't know of any way to check at
this end. Senator Stevens has always insisted on the confidentiality of such meetings and
that has been respected by all concerned.
We've spent part of this morning correcting some inaccurate information that came out of

My first question is how did Halcro get this information. Someone in the meeting
obviously provided it. I don't like that. Such disclosure is not consistent with the
relationship we hope to have with the delegation.
In our debrief with the gas team afterwards, we discussed each DC meeting and what, if
anything, we need to do. We concluded that we should ask for a separate, low profile
meeting with Senator Murkowski in Alaska just to review the facts, and I have requested
this but have not heard back.
Senator Stevens is adamant (and probably so is Senator Murkowski) . In our collective
opinion, we need to continue to educate and inform/ not cut off communications.
Fortunately, we're not asking for anything now from Congress or the delegation, if there
is activity, it will be at FERC and perhaps DOE. The reality is that AGIA is the only
game in town, and I believe that the delegation understands that.
Larry and I are continuing to respond to specific questions from the delegation, and
hopefully that dialogue will help. The next big DC event is FERC's next report to
Congress on the gasline. Collectively, I believe we ! ve done everything we can to help
FERC understand the current situation.
Because of the importance of your question, I'm taking the liberty of adding the Governor
to our email exchange.
P.S.
On a more optimistic note, all of the other meetings went very well
were interested and receptive.

Dear Honorable Govenor Sarah Palin,
Thank you for all you do for us in Alaska. I respect and admire you
tremendously.
I wanted you to know about an email that I sent to Gavel to Gavel through their
online submission form. Last nights programming included at least two
Heartbeat Alaska programs and somehing about a 360 group. This has been
typical of every time I have checked the channel since this session has begun.
Whatever your office can do to effect a change and allow visual access for those
who are not in Juneau, will be helpful!
Thank YOU! - Sally Javier, 6425 East 16th Avenue, Anchorage, AK - 907-333-
2255
Dear Friends at KTOO:
Thank you for the service that you provide. I'm writing with concern and
hoping you can help me. Last year, I was able to watch the sessions of the day
in the evening when I would come home. You didn't always have a schedule
up; however, whatever time I was up, I could count on seeing and hearing
something that had transpired that day.
Since the legislature has been in session this year, I've not been able to see
anything much past 7 or 8 pm. I've even been up in the 2-5 a.m. range and
nothing from Juneau concerning our legislature was on TV.
Although I enjoy the history of the Southeast and other Alaskan programming,
I'm intersted in hearing more about what is happening in Juneau with my
legislature.

I realize I can listen to audio tapes. Thank you.
Last year I appreciated the opportunity to see the faces and expressions of our
legislators as they deliberated and interviewed those who come to Juneau to speak.
Will I be able to look forward to visual access to what has happened with our
legislature at any time after 7/8 pm in the near future?
Thank you,

relationship we hope to have with the delegation.
PRA GSP01 0011002
In our debrief with the gas team afterwards, we discussed each DC meeting and what, if
anything, we need to do. We concluded that we should ask for a separate, low profile
meeting with Senator Murkowski in Alaska just to review the facts, and I have requested
this but have not heard back.
Senator Stevens is adamant (and probably so is Senator Murkowski) . In our collective
opinion, we need to continue to educate and inform, not cut off communications.
Fortunately, we* re not asking for anything now from Congress or the delegation. If there
is activity, it will be at FERC and perhaps DOE. The reality is that AGIA is the only
game in town, and I believe that the delegation understands that.
Larry and I are continuing to respond to specific questions from the delegation, and
hopefully that dialogue will help. The next big DC event is FERC's next report to
Congress on the gasline. Collectively, I believe we've done everything we can to help
FERC understand the current situation.
Because of the importance of your question, I'm taking the liberty of adding the Governor
to our email exchange.
P.S.
On a more optimistic note, all of the other meetings went very well
were interested and receptive.

Jan 30: Mr. AGIA goes to Washington

Stevens apparently told Irwin and Rutherford, "You're not listening and you didn't listen

And, at one point, Stevens cut off Irwin as he was waxing poetic about the benefits of

As a friend of mine pointed out, it's great political theater but it doesn't build a

There were 11 people in the meeting. For the State, they were Marty, Tom, Pat, and Larry.
Then, there were Senator Stevens and three of his staff: George Lowe (Chief of Staff),
Kate Williams (Legislative Director) , and Kevin Simpson (Energy) . Also present were
Senator Murkowski and two of her staff: Isaac Edwards (Legislative Director) and Chuck
Kleeschulte (Energy) .
I can't figure out how Halcro got the information and don't know of any way to check at
this end. Senator Stevens has always insisted on the confidentiality of such meetings and
that has been respected by all concerned.
We've spent part of this morning correcting some inaccurate information that came out of
the meeting from the Senate side.

John- we have heard Halcro 1 s outright lies on other issues, including ACES, MatMaid, his
own job opportunities with our administration {where he invited himself in, early on, and
was even offering to write his own press release announcing his entrance into our Admin -
until we put a stop to that idea) , my budget comments (that he had printed in his APN
column with "quotes" that I never said), my personal life, etc.
If this is another case of Hal re o lying, then someone needs to call him on it - including
mainstream media that gives him a forum, such as APN and his new employer KBYR. Even KTUU
continuing to go to Halcro for counterpoints re: much of what our Admin does. He
discredits all these media outlets.
He's gotten away with lies for too long - and if this is another one, he must be called on
it .

I didn't hear how that mtg went either. No, we don't know if it came from our side.,. But
Katz says Stevens always demand confidentiality from his side... Could be any # of DC
