Governor, we will work on some type of press release because it is good news about the
progress. The closer we get to the end, and there is a large amount (years) of work
remaining, the land selections get much harder because of things like over selections and
complications with clear title.
The cabin issue is tough.

Governor, info if asked. The State has received over 3 million acres from the Feds in
the last two years. Doesn't seem like too much for the size of Alaska but this is around
the size of Delaware and Rhode Island combined. The 82,608 acres is in addition to what
we have already received - this is the land within the TAPS Pipeline corridor in the
Copper River Basin that was freed up through the discussions with BLM on their East Alaska
Management Plan. This 82,608 acres is not actually traversed by the pipeline, but to the
east and west. Some is land in the Alaska Range (just west of the Delta River) that the
2
PRA GSP01 0014103
mining folks are excited to get
and the rest is near the Gulkana Glacier. - the home of the Arctic Man snow machine
race. BLM and state people have been working hard on getting title to Alaska lands.
The amount of land still owed the state is approx 11 million acres.
BLM and the state have also had significant success in obtaining uncontested title for
Alaska to numerous navigable waterways in Alaska through recordable disclaimers.

MESSAGE:
Gov, Palin,
We met recently at the North Pacific Fishery Management Council meeting and I hope that
you are displaying on your refrigerator the magnet I gave you from the Maritime National
Wildlife Refuge i
I've since retired from the Federal government and would like to make sure you are aware
of the current inequity that exists for Federal retirees in Alaska compared to the lower
48 and look for your support for Federal legislation to correct this problem.
In Alaska and Hawaii Federal employees receive a Cost of Living Allowance {COLA} rather
than Locality Pay (LP), which applies in the lower 48. The difference is that COLA does
not apply toward retirement but LP does. For me this means that my pension is around 45%
rather that 58% of my previous pay. As a result of this inequity, Alaska and Hawaii
retirees receive the lowest retirement pay in the Nation for their grade and experience
level. This inequity makes it difficult for retirees to remain in AK. It also makes
recruitment and retention of experienced Federal employees difficult as employees are
looking to maximize their retirement benefits toward the end of their careers.
PRAJ3SP01J)014107
Why should the State of Alaska care? I believe that the State of Alaska benefits from
having the best and the brightest managing the extensive Federal estate in Alaska. By
handicapping Federal managers through this inequitable system Alaska is at a disadvantage
compared to Federal recruiters in the lower 48.
By losing retirees from Alaska you also lose money that would otherwise be spend in Alaska
communities. You also lose an extremely valuable work force of potential community
volunteers.
Thank you for your time and I hope that you will support Federal legislation that would
place Alaska and Hawaii on equal footing with the rest of the Nation by converting our
current system to Locality Pay. Please also assure that Federal retirees are not
forgotten. I would hope that for the purpose of pension payments for current retirees
that COLA can be included in calculations for retirement pay as well.
Sincerely,
Lenny Cor in

Re: Oppose funding Fish & Game proposal #44823, to purchase Trujillo landing for a Lower
Kasilof motorized Boat Launch
Mr. King and Mr.Swanton,
Thank you for responding to my letter.
It does not seem logical to me that Fish and Game receive funding to buy private property to construct a
public access motorized boat launch, before their is any public concerns addressed, especially when the
Trujillo parcel is the target and will have to be accessible through an established neighborhood of over 35
homeowners. Also, their is a private hautout north of Trujillo landing in Cohoe Cove where a large
number of drift guide boats pull out now, so to insinuate that losing this haulout would devastate the drift
fishery is not correct.
The other huge concern is ali the conflicting information we receive by letter or when we have called
different departments regarding this project, including the comment "that their is nothing on the horizon to
change the character of the drift boat fishery". According to the appropriation request for this project it
states that "boating use will be split between both power and non-motorized craft" and that "it is
imperative that the public have motorized access to fish for kings and coho salmon". To me that sounds
like their will be a change to the character of the fishery users on this river and is going to allow
powerboat access on the Kasilof River.
My neighbors and I have received many letters to our correspondence with the same response "that sport
fishing is an important component of the economy and quality of life on the Kenai Peninsula and boating
access is an essential " What about the people that support this economy and community year
around. I don't see most of these users in my local grocery store or supporting our economy throughout
the winter. They make all of their money and then leave the state to spend their proceeds in their own
community. Do we not have a right to enjoy our neighborhood and community? We do not feel like we
have been heard on this issue, especially when we are told that we can have input after they have
received funding. Where in the private sector do you ever get funding first without an assessment or
concerns addressed to those that will be affected? This does not make any sense to me or others, and
we feel like we are being railroaded.

Many people in this community are very concerned that F & G wanting to put a public access motorized boat
launch 3 1/2 miles up the Kasilof River, will bring an entirely new user group that is currently not here, of
motorized boats with 2 stroke engines that have recently been prohibited for use on the Kenai River for Personal
Use Fisheries, because of pollution. This will inundate the Kasilof River with these same users. I feel this would
be devastating to the Kasilof River and our community.
One of the parcels being targeted by F&G for this boat Launch, is the Trujilio parcel, that is located among 35
established homeowners where I have lived for 16 years with all the same neighbors. Their are many people,
myself included, that walk everyday with their dogs and children year around, but during the summer it Is very
difficult even though Trujillo's only allow a limited amount of drift guide boats access to his landing, there is still an
increased amount of traffic that feels too dangerous for me to enjoy walking or riding my horse in my own
neighborhood. I can only imagine the devastation that will happen, if this public boat launch goes through our
neighborhood.
I am concerned that once F&G get funding for this project we will not have a chance to keep it out of our
neighborhood or protect the Kasilof River. I feel that public concerns should be addressed first and at least some
limited impact studies done before funding is provided to this proposal.

Keeping it secret
By Stefan Milkowski
Published Tuesday, March 25, 2008
Sen. Bert Stedman of Sitka today refused to disclose the Senate majority's spending plans
for the capital budget, or even to say whether the group had set a limit.
He was asked multiple times by multiple people (including me) at this morning's news
conference and after. Stedman, who is one of the co-chairs of the Finance Committee, and
Senate President Lyda Green, both defended the concept of having a big capital budget in
years when you have high revenues, like this year,
"A vigorous capital budget is what we need right now," said Green.
Stedman also said it was hard to set a dollar figure limit when he and others were still
considering all the funding requests submitted by individual lawmakers for projects.
But Stedman flatly refused to say whether the majority had set a limit, let alone to share
what it was. I don't know whether limits were always set in years past, but this year seems
different Gov. Sarah Palin and members of the Senate minority have been repeatedly
calling for some kind of limit, and the potential to spend is high because of the huge budget
surpluses expected.
Stedman said later that the "limit" was the amount of money available after savings,
although it's unclear how much the majority aims to save. He added that he liked the idea of
the state saving twice as much as it spends.

The V word, Chapter V
Posted: March 25, 2008 06:40 PM
Rep, Jay Ramras wants it known that he and Gov. Palin are on good terms.
Ramras continues to suffer from my blog entry, "The V Word," which discussed a bit of word
association that led him to use the word "vagina," when I meant to indicate "vetoes."
Ramras and I were talking in the House speaker's chamber just after the governor attended an open
caucus. Therefore, he had been concerned that she would take offense.
But she did not. Ramras says that after he wrote her a note of apology, she responded by coming to
his office with a nice note saying she wasn't offended — and with a plate and a cookie for him.
"The governor and I are fine," Ramras said tonight.
Which is pretty remarkable, actually, not because of the V word, but because of the M word:
10/23/2009
PRA GSP01 0014117
Page 2 of 2
McCarthyism, which is what Ramras accused her of leading up to the special session on oil taxes, for allegedly
associating with corruption anyone who would oppose the tax increase she backed. Palin responded to him at
the time that there was no need to be paranoid.
But now he might say there is.

I like "minority" Sen. Bunde's ideas about savings accounts and preparing for years ahead
when the state will not have as much money. Paying down the TRS/PERS debt would certainly
be helpful and save a lot on interest on that debt .
Love you, pray for you every day. Keep up the great work you are doing!

MESSAGE :
Dear Gov. Palin:
Congratulations on your new child on the way. I appreciate the many things you are doing
to look out for the best interests of Alaskans- -especially putting more transparency and
accountability into natural resource issues.
Two things you can do better:
#1 Give more support to the Alaska Marine Highway because this supports locals businesses
and the economy and provides safe and reliable travel for school teams and for elders.
AMH is a necessity for outlying communities who must travel to Juneau for medical and
airport.
#2 Respect the people of the Alaska's votes on predator control issues. Extend your
respect for life to respect for all life and nature's balance. As humans in Alaska, we
need healthy populations in their natural balance, respect for ourselves, each other, and
for all life. Don't do an end run around the people on this issue.

Thanks, And one of the ones suggesting that I get on Meyer about this is Stoltze... and on
the Senate side Huggins told Anna that he wasn't doing anything with our bill (though he's
always supported the idea) because I was "inconsiderate" by not giving him a head's up
that I was introducing it in January (though I talked about it in the State of State, and
met with Huggins last year on this when he and Bob Lynn told me I'd have to be the one
introducing it because their bills weren't progressing through the Leg as they ! d hoped) .
Odd.
Huggins didn't have an answer for: if this has been bothering you for all this time and
has held up the issue on the Senate side, why didn't you "communicate" that to the 3rd

Subject: Re: State Selections/TAPS Corridor
Governor, info if asked. The State has received over 3 million acres from the Feds in
the last two years. Doesn't seem like too much for the size of Alaska but this is around
the size of Delaware and Rhode Island combined. The 82,608 acres is in addition to what
we have already received - this is the land within the TAPS Pipeline corridor in the
Copper River Basin that was freed up through the discussions with BLM on their East Alaska
Management Plan. This 82,608 acres is not actually traversed by the pipeline, but to the
east and west. Some is land in the Alaska Range (just west of the Delta River) that the
mining folks are excited to get
and the rest is near the Gulkana Glacier. - the home of the Arctic Man snow machine race.
BLM and state people have been working hard on getting title to Alaska lands .
The amount of land still owed the state is approx 11 million acres.
BLM and the state have also had significant success in obtaining uncontested title for
Alaska to numerous navigable waterways in Alaska through recordable disclaimers.

Therriault and Representative Coghill and they will both confirm on the record that they
spoke to Speaker Harris about the meeting. Since we are basically calling Harris out on

Subject: IBU strike ballots going out
Governor :
I just heard through Randy Ruaro that one of the maritime units - Inland Boatmens Union
(IBU) is sending out strike ballots to its members. Apparently on the radio, a member is
quoted as saying that "the entire west coast" maritime organizations will join in the
strike. We'll run that down, but wanted you to know in the meantime.

Dear Gov. Palin,
I've been told that all the members of the State Board of Game are also members of the
Alaska Outdoor Council, a group that seems to be interested in the management of game
solely for the benefit of hunters. I do not believe this to be appropriate. Many of
Alaska's residents enjoy our wildlife in non-consumptive ways. Our tourist industry also
requires the presence of more than just moose and caribou in our areas of wilderness. The
State Board of Game needs a broader view. Much of the depletion of harvestable game
results from excessive hunting and depletion of habitat but the State Board of Game
declines to look at these problems because of the blinders they wear. Please make the
membership of this group more representative of the population of Alaska. Thank you,
Ellen Mannion

Subject: NGA Application for State Capital Energy Audits
Governor Palin:
As you may know, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and the National Governors
Association (NGA) recently announced the formation of the "Greening
State Capitols" partnership. The unique public-private partnership
between NGA and Wal-Mart will offer energy audits of capitol complexes
and provide recommendations on efficiency improvements and estimates of
how much energy and money each state can save. I am attaching a copy of
the application, as well as a copy of the NGA letter detailing the
process for your review.
The National Governors Association will help identify and recruit state
participants. Once a state is selected, it will identify a team of four
to five experts to assist in the energy audit and implement the
resulting recommendations. Within one year of the audits completion,
participating states are asked to provide the NGA Center for Best
Practices with a two page report of actions taken and resulting savings
NGA will catalogue these results for distribution.
During a two-day auditing process, Wal-Mart will send a team of
engineering experts to survey the state capitol facilities and suggest
energy efficiency improvements based on technologies Wal-Mart has
successfully deployed in many stores, clubs and other facilities around
the world* The areas covered by the audit will include:
Lighting;
Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems (HVAC) ;
Refrigeration and other equipment;
PRA GSP01 0014146
Technologies such as programmable thermostats; and
Building structure, including insulation and windows.
Following the initial audit, the engineers will produce a report with
recommended energy efficiency improvements and estimated costs to the
state, as well as the potential energy savings and carbon dioxide
reductions. Wal-Mart will only recommend technologies with a return on
investment within five years, unless a state specifically asks for a
different time frame. At a state's request, Wal-Mart will use its
procurement capabilities to attract bids from interested companies and
facilitate installation of the recommended technologies.
We are committed to sharing what we learn about reducing energy use and
increasing building efficiencies and working with the NGA in a
collaborative manner we feel we can help accelerate the deployment of
new technologies and best practices while saving states money and
protecting the environment.
I hope that you consider applying for the program on behalf of the state
of Alaska. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best,

MESSAGE :
I would like to comment on CSHB 256 { JUD) which I think is poorly conceived legislation
even in its current revision which pretends to seek validation from ADF&G on predator
control. There have been at least 2 state referenda on predator control and aerial
hunting of wolves, both of which have demonstrated public opposition for this policy. Yet,
the Board of Game and the legislature persist in overturning the public will.
As a wildlife/fisheries biologist for the last 35 years (schooled in Alaska and the Lower
48), I have worked from the arctic to the tropics, for both state (Alaska), federal, and
international agencies. I am a 46- year resident of Alaska from a family who depended on
moose and caribou for subsistence, but I find these predator control policies appallingly
archaic. With this legislation, you have set modern wildlife management back at least a
century to the days of market hunting and government sponsored predator annihilation.
This policy erroneously and arrogantly presumes that we can somehow artificially sustain
ungulate populations at some density as if they are cattle in a pasture, isolated from all
other natural factors. There is plenty of historical evidence for predator control as an
ecological disaster. It is a short termed and short sighted attempt to increase
opportunity and access to game for a few people in interior Alaska who have considerable
political clout in the legislature and whose interests are over- represented on the Game
Board. In fact, our wildlife resources are to be managed for all its citizens. It is
politically expedient for you to pay lip service to "subsistence" users, however, it
PRA GSP01 0014149
appears this legislation especially benefits registered big game guides who would become
the market hunters of wolves and bears, with no guarantee there will be a cause and effect
between removal of predators and increase in moose or caribou. Eventually there will have
to be some sacrifices made o
n the part of bush hunters as human population pressure increases beyond what can be
compensated for with predator control.
This is NOT sustained yield management of resources, nor is it scientifically- based
conservation. Why bother to even have a Department of Fish and Game with professional
biologists when you have the Board of Game who may act unchecked? This is purely a
political power play with our resources, glossed over with a thin veneer of science for
its justification. I no longer have any confidence in this system of management when it
benefits only select user groups and serves only partisan appointees.
And although Senators Therriault and Wilkens, and I grew up in the same town, we might as
well have come from different planets, when I see their support for such legislation. It
is indeed sad that this legislation represents only the most insular and provincial
example of Alaska's wildlife management and it makes a mockery of resource conservation.
I am not a protectionist, my entire career has been spent balancing human needs with
resource protection for the Forest Service, Departments of Fish and Game; Transportation
and Public Facilities; and the Army Corps of Engineers. But I find this legislation an
outright abuse of our resource legacy.
Thanks for the opportunity to comment .

MESSAGE :
Governor Palin,
My name is Sophia Taeschner and recently me and my partner Bailey Walgenbach have been
selected as a finalist team for the Caring for the Kenai project. We have very strict time
barriers holding us from our research, and currently we are trying to gather as much
federal budget and funding information as we can in this short time that we have to
prepare for our main and oral presentation. I understand completely that you have
thousands of stresses to deal with and work with everyday, and many many concerns and e-
mails to reply to. I just hope that you may find the time to help us in our quest to
properly inform the judges and the public about how much it would cost to implement our
eco- friendly proposal.
Our topic is Bilge Water Disposal. I chose to write about this issue becuase my family
owns a commercial fishing boat, so i know the difficulties and nuances of keeping it clean
and smoothly running. Bilge water is dumped illegally by hundreds of boats in the Kachemak
bay area, and my proposal is to implement a 'Bilge Suck-Out Station." for convenience, our
thought is that the necesary suction equipment would simply be added onto an existing fuel
dock, and our starting point is in the Homer Harbor. The basic idea is that tubing and
suction will clean out the boats 1 bilge water, and then work its way through 4 large
holding tanks, in which the oil decanting process can begin, by the time the oily water
reaches the 4th tank, most of the oily sludgy toxins have been filtered out, and the rest
of the water is run through a filter, then the result is clean water that can be deposited
back into the ocean.
PRA GSP01 0014152
of course, in order to make this dream a reality, i would need to get very close cost
estimates. Im not exactly sure what department deals with marine oil and bilge spills, but
i would like to know, if in your opinion, the state of Alaska would be willing to fund
this project? Any comments or concerns you may have towards our idea would be very helpful
and insightful for our research purposes, thank you so much for your time.

Sophia Taeschner

Subject: RE: AMHS / Prince Rupert Dock
Governor :
Just after I e-mailed you, Mayor Herb Pond from Prince Rupert called. He said he was
somewhat embarrassed by the situation and that the City of Prince Rupert will repair the
dock at their expense. He said the cost will be about $1 million and their goal is to
have the dock fixed by Memorial Day.
I am working on setting up a meeting between the Mayor and the DOT engineer and DOT shore
side supervisor who are traveling to Prince Rupert. They can visit and inspect the dock
and the Mayor can explain his plans for repairs to them. They can then brief the
Commissioner and the rest of us on Sunday.

Subject: AMHS / Prince Rupert Dock
Governor :
We received notice late yesterday that the City of Prince Rupert, British Columbia, has
closed the dock it leased to AMHS for repairs. AMHS has had some concerns about the dock
and asked Prince Rupert as the landlord to get a survey done. When the survey came in it
showed some significant problems.
AMHS has been scrambling ever since. We have received permission from the BC Ferry system
to use their dock which is fairly close by. Commissioner Von Scheben has sent an engineer
and a shore-side dock expert to Prince Rupert to assess the situation and make sure our
vessels can use the BC Ferry System dock. The first AMHS vessel will attempt to use the
dock at 3:00 am Sunday night. We are meeting on Sunday to hear the results and discuss
options.
The Department of Law is sending a demand letter to the City of Prince Rupert to comply
with the lease terms to maintain the dock and fix it as soon as possible.
DOT'S communications officer, Roger Wetherell, is issuing a press release and handling
press inquiries.
I will keep you updated as events unfold.

Murder, that's what happened in Fort Yukon. All of those "hunters" need to be identified
and prosecuted. They hunted and shot a bear, a POLAR BEAR, that went into a "village" to
eat a carcus that probably was also illegal and left to lie in a location that could have
been bear baiting itself. What is going on in this town? Not only was it a polar bear but
it was a sow and on top of this the Polar Bear is endangered* According to the Fairbanks
Daily News-Miner this bear wandered into the village age a linx carcus then left. These
"hunters" trailed it 3 miles before they realized that the alchol was back in town. The
bear was leaving town! !! Had it returned then I could have maybe agreeded with what had
happened. Fish and Game never got notified until after the bear was shot. Makes me wonder
what would happen to a out-of-towner who wonders into their village.

Subject: Luncheon/press
If it's a slow news day: Does press care about Todd's "spouses luncheon" over at the house
today? For legislative spouses. I chuckle as he has to work on the goodie bags and menu
items and centerpieces that Erika keeps asking him about. He's a good sport abput this
duty- it's sort of unique for Alaska if anyone wants to take a pic of him with all the
wives. And X think two husbands will attend.
Frank- free lunch if you go over there and play the piano for entertainment of the ladies.

Dear Governor ,
Although I'm from Massachusetts and a supporter of Mitt Romney, after reading about you, I
believe you would be the best candidate for Vice President, I know McCain has not asked
anyone yet, but please do your best to put yourself in that position.

MESSAGE:
Governor Palin,
I read an article tonight about your name being mentioned as a possible running mate with
John McCain. I was intrigued by this because I was not aware of your position as Governor
of Alaska. I decided to do some research to learn as much about you as I could. As a
concerned American, I am worried about the state of our Nation. The liberal Democratic
party is destroying our Nation. I feel that many people have given up on Government and
that has played in the hands of Liberals who are bent on changing this great Country from
a democtratic society to a socialist society. We are in dire need of a new direction in
government It's crucial that we get back to fair and conservative people to lead our
Nation in these most dangerous of times. I want my Country back while we still have a
chance to take it back. I want my children and grandchildren to able to live their life in
a free and democratic society as I have been able to do. We as Americans, have a lot of
work to do to repair what ills
the nation. Strong conservative leadership is a must if we are going to survive. I
respectfully ask you to consider a position of Vice President on the Republican ticket if
offered. Please pray about it and see if it is something that would be right for you and
your family. We do need a change in this Nation, but not the type of change that Clinton
or Obama would bring!
Regards,
Michael Dunphy
Still free at the present time!

I read the report. It's so funny because it's so official... "Willow Palin was observed
sneaking the puppy in... She was observed leaving the building at 1635..." (Which is af
hours considering state employees are "off" after 4;30pm) but I don't want anyone to
request the official report because according to it, Willow had a flippant response - like
"So?". (That's my girl! Nan. . . but I don't want that part advertised.)
ter
It is an Ear item if Shelia "gets is"... Cowdey telling a kid what*s acceptable and what
isn't inside these four walls??? Puleeeze. A three-pound puppy vs all the CBC crap that
he helped dumped around here? And the security report attaches Capitol Building policies
that include no booze, and smoking only far away from this building- both things violated
regularly on Cowdery's watch on every other floor besides this third floor.

I told Willow she has permission to tell Cowdery (if he ever confronted her) that when
they committ to stop the boozing in the building, she'll committ to never sneak in her
three-pound puppy dog after hours. {Wot really- she's bringing it back to Wasilla with her

It was "stopped" just after we were elected, or right before, when Elton's dog was busted
on video camera dumping in the hallway. My understanding. And I kinda' doubt the other
offices have received their citations- or whatever it is from Cowdery- because at least
one of the offices continues to being in mutts. Funny thing is the third floor has been
told we do not control activities on any other floor- (that came up in discussions about
drinking in this state office building) ... separation of powers and we 1 re not to tell them
what they can/can 1 1 do... but they can tell us. no pups allowed on our floor. Flippin

All kidding aside - I believe the doggy crackdown started during/after the Knowles
administration. He brought he dogs in - which led to staffers and leggies bringing their
dogs etc etc. Apparently some pooches - of considerable size - were leaving their calling
cards around the building. I think it was Murkowski who officially put a stop to it.

What the heck is a security report reprimand? You have to absolutely be kidding me!
So his concern must be that the puppy will "relieve itself" in the building? Kind of the
pot calling the kettle black if you remember his staff cleaning up a similar mess last
year- -and I'm not talking about from an animal either.
On a serious note though, has he issued these "reprimands" to Mary Jackson (Sen Wagoner's
staff)? She brings her dogs in the building every day I I'd hate for him to be picking and
choosing who he issues these things too, and especially picking on a little, defenseless
13 yr old girl (don't tell Willow I ever called her that) as some sort of retaliation
against not getting pet projects in the supp. Not very fair or appropriate. Perhaps he
should be asked? And I think I'll talk to Mary too. . ,

Sharon and I have made the corrections and we can get that to you first
thing this morning.
We touched bases with Coghill, Harris, French, Therriault, and Stoltze.
Harris was the only stick-in-the-mud. He wants tax-free per diem if
he's going to do any work. I think Bill Mac has a blog entry on that
particular statement. Stoltze was disappointed that the whole thing
won't be in Southcentral, but he agreed that we are giving folks plenty
of notice and that is a good thing for those who have to raise money for
their campaigns. Tibbies talked to French and the reaction was
reportedly good. Therriault also seemed fine.

voted to accept the state's proposal. Still need signatures on the agreement but 99%
there. We won in court awhile back but there was interest by some to bring this to the Ak
supreme court. Steve Ross (LAW), Craig Tillery (LaW) , Dick Lefebvre (DNR) and Franci H
(DNR) carried the load with great support from others. Major results: the state has full
rights to the logo, the Mat Su chapter has a new President that wants to work with us to
move AG forward, reasonable costs were shared by the groups, and the Mat Su chapter can
again sell Ak Grown materials. We stood up for what was right, won, and still worked out
a way forward. I am really pleased. God bless. Tom

Re: Oppose funding Fish and Game proposal #44823, to purchase Trujillo landing for a Lower
Kasilof motorized Boat Launch
Mr, King,
Thank you for your response to my letter. It seems, though, that we hear the same phrase from all
levels of the state government , that, " sport fishing is an important component of the economy
and quality of life on the Kenai peninsula and boating access is an essential...."
There are many sport accesses and haul out landing already available on the Kasilof river. I
realize that the primary fishery is a drift boat one, and some of these guides have used Trujillo's
landing for a haul out. Other haul outs are just upstream and just downstream,both of them
owned privately. If the state funds and operates another haul out or launch it would be in
competition with already established launches. Have you asked them how they would feel about
the added competition?
As for more boating access to the river: the state fish and game regulations have been the same
for many many years. " Sport fishing from a motorized boat is not allowed Janl- July 31" .
But in the appropriation request for this project it states that " boating use will be split between
both power and non-motorized craft". This does not seem logical to me to push access for boats
that cannot legally fish there??
Our neighborhood is very concerned about the possibility of a public boat launch in the midst of
our 35 quiet homes and streets. Further we and many others are very concerned about the
negative impact that a new sports fishing user group would have on a river that has not had 2
stroke engines accessing it before. We are concerned about pollution, a huge increase in noise
levels for the wildlife here as well as ourselves, but most of all the very lack of any impact
statements done to show what damages may occur. We are concerned for OUR quality of life
and the quality of the river more than we are for the sportsfishers.
I urge you to consider funding impact statements, of how this will change the Kasilof river to
install a new 2 lane boat launch, as well as how this will impact the 35 long established
homeowners here in the neighborhood of Trujillo's landing. For now, I strongly oppose the State
of Alaska buying the Trujillo property or any other property for a power boat launch without
these studies first.

Dear Kasilof River User:
Thank you for your comments concerning a proposed lower Kasilof River Boat Launch. The
boat launch is a proposed capital improvement project in the Governor's 2009 Capital Budget
(HD-33-35) originating from the Department of Fish and Game for improved sport fish access.
No specific site on the lower Kasilof River has been identified although several locations have
been evaluated and additional sites are still being considered. The Department of Fish & Game
is committed to conducting a public evaluation and planning process if funding is made

Although the proposed Kasilof River boat launch is a Fish and Game project, the Division of
Parks and Outdoor Recreation has been involved with the issue of river access for a number of
years. We recognize that sport fishing is an important component of the economy and quality of
life on the Kenai Peninsula and boating access is an essential aspect of providing sport fishing
opportunity. It would seem logical that because the state provides a launch facility in the upper
river for drift boats that we should provide a place for them to get out of the river downstream.
If a public launch is developed downstream the Division of Parks would be the likely agency to
manage the facility, but as of now no formal agreement has been made.
If you have specific concerns regarding the concept, planning and decisions regarding this
project, I encourage you to contact the Director of Sport Fish for the Department of Fish and

Dear James G. King (DNR)
Your letter seems to imply that there is only one government provided launch ramp
on the Kasiiof, when in fact there are two. One is located at the end of Tustumena
Road, just down stream from Tustumena Lake and the other one is located
downstream at the Sterling highway. There are private boat pull outs located below
the Sterling Highway launch. The State proposed launch sites are located below
these private enterprises. This would put the State in direct competition, with an
unfair advantage of government funding, of these private enterprises. Can the State
go into direct competition with private enterprises using tax payer funds?
I also wish to once again state my disapproval, as a resident of Coal Creek
Subdivision, of a State owned Boat Launch/Campground located at the Trujillo site.
I feel the quality of life here will be greatly diminished by this installation.

of interventions to match the academic reasons that led to a school's identification. And, in states
with a large percentage of schools identified, it will allow officials to target interventions and
resources to the schools most in need of reform. However, as the Secretary noted, "This is not one-
sided flexibility." Indeed, to be eligible for the pilot, states must meet four eligibility criteria:
• The state's standards and assessment system must be fully approved (as administered in the
2007-08 school year).
• The state must have no significant monitoring findings related to provisions of No Child heft
Behind* (The agency will also take into consideration major monitoring findings related to the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act)
• The state must have an approved highly qualified teacher plan.
• The state must provide timely and transparent Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) data to the
public. (States that have more than one non-approved occurrence of late AYP in the past two
years are ineligible.)
Also, the models proposed by states must meet 10 core principles, organized in four categories:
• Accountability. The state must maintain its current practice for determining AYP and
10/23/2009
PRA GSP01 0014237
ED Review (03/28/08) Page 2 of 5
identifying schools as in need of improvement.
• Differentiation. The state must clearly define its process for categorizing and differentiating among
schools.
• Interventions. The state must clearly define its system of interventions.
• Restructuring. The state must clearly define the interventions for its lowest-performing schools,
In addition, the agency will give priority to the following:
• states that have at least 20% of their Tide I schools identified as in need of improvement in the 2007-
08 school year and that demonstrate a challenge in providing intensive, meaningful reform to all sites;
• states that propose to take comprehensive and significant interventions — such as those used in the
restructuring phase — for the lowest-performing schools earlier in the improvement timeline; and
• states that propose an innovative model of differentiation as well as system of interventions.
States that wish to apply and meet the requirements above must submit their proposals by May 2. The
review process will resemble the process used for the growth model pilot program, with proposals that meet
the eligibility criteria reviewed by a panel of external experts. The Secretary will approve state models prior to
the start of the 2008-09 school year, so that they may be implemented based on results from assessments
administered in 2007-08. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE GO TO
http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2008/03/03182008.html .
Winding down their national tour of states to discuss critical issues in K-12 education, the Secretary also
visited Kentucky (3/19) and Virginia (3/26), and Deputy Secretary Ray Simon visited Indiana (3/25) and
Maryland (3/26). Between them, they have visited 25 states.
Meanwhile, the Department awarded $11 million in grants to 39 states to enable them to pay part or all o£ the
fees for Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) tests for low-income students. The
program aims to encourage low-income students to take AP or IB tests and obtain college credit, reducing
the time and cost required to complete a postsecondary degree. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE

NAEP EXPANSION
The National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB), which sets policy for the National Assessment of
Educational Progress (NAEP), has tentatively approved plans for 11 states to take part in a new, twelfth-
grade version of NAEP in reading and math. (A separate NAEP, the long-term trend, is now given to 1 7-
year-olds, but it only produces a nationwide snapshot of data.) The test would likely be given in 2009.
NAGB also approved adding seven big city school districts to the special NAEP for urban school systems.
Eleven districts took part in the most recent Trial Urban District Assessment (TUDA). Both of these actions
became possible after an $11 million increase for NAEP and NAGB in last year's budget. FOR MORE
INFORMATION, PLEASE GO T O http://www.nagb.org/ .
Note: Results from the NAEP writing assessment in eighth- and twelfth-grades will be released on April 3, at

GOOD START, GROW SMART
The next "Education News Parents Can Use" broadcast (April 15, 8:00-9:00 EI) will highlight how No Child
L£ft Behind- through such targeted initiatives as Early Reading First -- supports the teaching of young
children. It will also showcase a number of other strategic administration initiatives ~ including "Good Start,
Grow Smart" and Head Start -- designed to improve early childhood education and ensure children feel
confident and ready to learn the first day they step into a classroom. Research proves that what children
learn before coming to school is vital to their long-term success; as most parents can attest, the first five years
of a child's life is a time of tremendous physical, emotional, and social growth. When children are exposed to
an environment rich in language and literacy interactions and full of opportunities to listen to and use
language, they can begin to acquire the building blocks for learning how to read. By contrast, children who
enter school without these skills run a significant risk of starting behind and staying behind. FOR MORE
INFORMATION, PLEASE GO TO http://www.ed.gov/edtv/ . (You can watch archived webcasts at

PRIVACY GUIDANCE
On March 24, the Department proposed new regulations to clarify when colleges and universities may release
confidential student information and reassure top officials that they will not face penalties for reporting
concerns about mentally ill students to appropriate authorities in an emergency. Key adjustments to the
Family Educational "Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) include: (1) when there is an "articulable and significant
threat" to the health or safety of a student or others, private information may be shared with proper parties,
such as the student's parents, and (2) if there is a "rational basis" for the school's decision to share sensitive
material from a student's file, the Department will not "substitute its judgment" about the decision. In reality,
FERPA has always had an exception for health and safety emergencies, but colleges and universities have
been wary of invoking it. Comments on these and other proposed changes to FERPA must be received by
May 8. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE GO TO
http://www.ed.gov/le|aslation/Fed^
Note: The Department is committed to assisting colleges and universities in furnishing students a safe
environment in which to learn and keeping students, parents, and employees informed about security. FOR

DIGEST OF EDUCATION STATISTICS
The "Digest of Education Statistics, 2007," from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), is the
43rd in a series of publications initiated in 1962. Its primary purpose is to provide a compilation of statistical
information covering the broad field of American education — from pre-kindergarten through graduate
school — drawn from government and private sources, but especially from surveys and other activities
directed by NCES. The digest contains data on the number of schools, students, and teachers, as well as
statistics on educational attainment, finances, libraries, technology, and international comparisons. Details on
population trends, education attitudes, labor force characteristics, and federal funding supplies background
for evaluating the education data. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE GO TO

QUOTE TO NOTE
"Thanks to No Child Left Behind y we have collected a wealth of information about where schools are falling
short, where student needs are not being met, and where more rigor is needed. WeVe built an appetite for
change, and weVe done a good job of framing the problem. The next step is to use this knowledge to
customize our efforts to improve. ... Going forward, I will continue to partner with those who embrace
accountability. And, in situations where policies favor the needs of adults over the needs of students, I will
continue to side with the kids."
— Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings (3/18/08), announcing a "differentiated accountability" pilot
UPCOMING EVENTS

Going to arbitration with PSEA
Governor;
You may hear that we are only a half a percent apart with PSEA, and that is why
negotiations have stalled- Our last offer to them was 5%, 3%, 3% with service steps plus
3.75% increase for members who receive an Advanced Police Standards Certificate (which can
be obtained through education, length on the job or both) . We continue to hold out for
language which specifies that dishonesty by a State Trooper or Airport Safety Officer will
not be tolerated.
When you look at each contract it's not as simple as the cost of living (the 5% or in SU's
case 5.5%) it's everything else that is a cost to the State in the contract. Some
contracts have "premium pays" like the trooper contract, uniform allowances, etc. while
other contracts have a 'me, too" clause like Su (whatever a subordinate gets, I get) .
We'll have an update on our web page today and I'll make sure Sharon L. knows it's out
there. Not sure when they might start to run ads, but we've been thinking about how to
address it.

Russ- I will be talking to him today. Remember, I wanted (and tried) to talk to him last
week and was told no, it should not be me making the call(s) to get leggies like Kevin to
do the right thing. I should have tracked him down last week and done this, as look at
where we are today- no schedule, 11th hour, lost time, etc.
Also though, proponents of repeal can't rely on me to MAKE any leggie do anything. They
don't work that way, so proponents need to rally as hard as they can to accomplish this.
Lawmakers are sitting on over 100 bills. They do not want us to succeed, it's a very
strange chemistry.
Again, I will be talking to Kevin. And others must talk to him also.
Russ, Karleen, me, everyone else needs to push harder on this. I agree with those who
raise their eyebrows and question why the 3rd floor hasnt been able to push harder on this
one when we do push harder on the other few priorities I laid out. The quasi-push back is
very frustrating.
Anna's right that an evening hearing is fishy, but again the proponents can't blame that
on lack of progress . They need to more publicly act on this .

I was told at least two did not vote for him. when she told me it was unanimous I said I
was "surprised" or "shocked", and since I did not know him I was questioning this because
the candidate had to fit in the cabinet, represent the new energy, progress, etc that we
needed.
She turned to Barb and asked what everyone should do next because they were ready to gavel
out and hop on the plane... Barb explained Esther could explain this to the board, then
they gavel out, then make plans to reconvene. Esther said they would also contact their
attorney. Esther indicated this isn't the way things are normally done, I explained we're
not doing things as most Gov f s have done... I tried to be light hearted about it but was
so caught off guard with the "it was unanimous" comment - and she handed me a handwritten
note with his attributes listed, included "feels he can work with the Governor". Feels?
Amyway, we'll go from here.

Governor :
At 3:00 am last night, AMHS successfully docked the Matanuska at the BC
Ferries dock. It appears we can use the BC Ferries dock as an alternate
while Prince Rupert tries to repair their dock. (Which we lease) . This
will work for April as we only have 8 port calls. It becomes more
difficult in May when BC Ferries traffic increases and we double our
port calls.
DOT and LAW will continue working on all the details with customs,
security, passengers, and Mayor Pond to make things go as smoothly as
possible and cover all the legal bases. Mayor Pond has promised repairs
will be done by the end of May. We are asking the Mayor to give us

Ferry Matanuska conducts successful docking test in Prince Rupert
(JUNEAU, Alaska) - The crew aboard the Alaska Marine Highway System
(AMHS) ferry Matanuska successfully moored at the BC Ferries docking
facility at about 3 a.m. today.
AMHS officials tested the facility after learning late Thursday that
Prince Rupert city officials closed its dock after an engineers' report
deemed it unsafe.
"We're extremely pleased that Matanuska and now the Taku can tie up in
Prince Rupert and lessen any potential scheduling conflicts for our
passengers, " said Dennis Hardy, Deputy Commissioner of Marine
Operations. "Certainly, we appreciate the invaluable cooperation
exhibited by the BC Ferries leadership and staff . "
AMHS management is advising customers to contact its reservations line
at 1-800-642-0066 or visit its up-to-date website for last minute
schedule changes. The web address is;
http://dot.alaska.gov/amhs/Changes/index.html .
PRA GSP01 0014263
"Obviously, there may be some schedule adjustments, but we'll do the
best we can to accommodate our very patient passengers," said Hardy.

Subj ect : Re ; Huggins
Yes I've spoken with his staffer twice today and told her in the last call that I'd stop
by in the morning. Huggins has concerns over Brenda Rebne of Ahtna, the nominee for the
Big Game Commercial Services Board. I'm hopping on my flight here but plan to see Huggins
personally in the morning. I told Janice that I"d report back if he still needed to see
you.
Concern is over Brenda' s closeness to Ahtna (which she works for) and whether she'll be
able to represent other Large Private Land Owners. Brenda has said she would, but
something in the way she answered the question in Friday's confirmation hearing raised the
concern from both Huggins and Wagoner {whom I have a call into as well) .
FYI also, Brenda comes to town Wednesday and will make rounds to Leg's.

Dear Sara,
Hello. I live in Arizona and have learned that Senator McCain is considering you for a
running mate. Perhaps the smartest decision the party has made thus far, in my humble
opinion. I am curious to know more about your climb in politics, and wonder if you might
tell more about what is really involved in getting a person elected in the first place.
This true process, I believe is in part why our system of government is such a circus.
Many Americans do not want to understand the "process" they want our politicians on a
pedastal but I am of the opinion that this is a very big mistake on our part. I was
talking to a woman a few days ago, about organized crime, and she was sure that they have
nothing to do with politics in America. Quashing this illusion and bringing to light the
actual process I believe is where the real power rests to launch our country into new
global markets. Many will need to be educated on how those balls get set into motion, and
why people do what they do in
the name of "freedom". We have a long history of walking over people to put people in
office in this country, if you were to be honest with the public about the process it is
believed that you will be the best possible canidate for McCains ticket and you could turn
his campaign around- he needs your face to offset his (just being honest) . The only
problem we will all have is in getting involved in this bickering going on now about race
and discrimination.
I urge you to be the voice of reason regarding that bickering in our Nation, and direct
McCain away from the war related issues and put forth a REAL energy solution. IF the two
of yu can sell us on a REAL energy solution McCain will take the White House, if the
PRA GSP01 0014279
battle over race and minorities continue we are headed for civil war in this country I
fear.
Please put a bug in the ear of McCain an Bush to prepare our Nation for the first Black
President this should quash all the "hate rhetoric" by default. A welcome speach tha
celebrates this exciting time to work and rework our inner conflicts in ou own backyard is
the ONLY sensible ideology to promote and to encourage McCain to promote.
I am sure that politics is a circus- people do terrible things to get people elected- they
use people, take ideas, steal writtings, whatever it takes- it makes everyone look bad-
In closing tell us all what you are going to do to change the "process" this will make you
different in a race that needs a new direction.
Good luck if you are selected- it will improve his campaign 100%

As Governor of your state and working with other Republican governors, you are in a

Coming from you to the people that put you in office means so much.
You, Republican Governors, are in a position to maintain a Republican President in the

Thank you, and please read this entire email.
The Dean of the Democratic Party: (Howard Dean) that isi
Dean, the democratic leader, is requesting that Hillary and Barack cool their heals and
stop picking at each other.
In other words, to stop their bickering back and forth and quit acting like kids.
Dean went on to say "he wasn't worried that his party would implode during this primary".
If that statement were true . . . Why would he try to clamp his 2 candidates mouths shut???
If Clinton and Obama stop pointing out each other's differences and short comings, how are
the people to decide which one to vote for?
Dean realizes that the democrats have not one but several problems facing them during this
primary. (All their own undoing)
During an interview with CNN, Dean denied his party's presidential nomination process was
"A MESS" ... But ... Senator Bill Nelson of Florida said ... "If nothing else, this
democratic primary election has provided further evidence that our system is broken". If
it's broken, it's flawed, if it's flawed it's in disarray, if it's in disarray it's a
mess; at least that's how I see it!
Before the Florida and Michigan primaries, Dean said both states would not be allowed to
seat their delegates. Now he is saying they will be seated at the national convention.
This is a reversal of the democratic party rules and policy. (Another part of a bigger
mess)
what Dean said was ... "I think the delegates are eventually going to be seated in Florida
1
PRA GSP01 0014282
and Michigan ... As soon as we get an agreement among the 2 candidates how to do that.
Say What? Is Dean implying that the 2 candidates will be telling the democratic national
convention how to pick a candidate? This is what happens when you mess around with
election laws ... You create problems where none existed before the change. (Unable to
leave well enough alone . . , Creating even more of a mess)
You can not punish the people for something the state (S) did, especially taking away their
voting rights. We are guaranteed, "One person, One vote".
It is already being circulated by the national media that at this time, if Clinton wins
the democratic nomination, 16% of the Obama voters will vote for McCain and the same would
happen if Obama wins. (Another costly mess for the democrats)
Let's not forget, the democrat's 2 candidates have severe problems with their mentality
. . . One (Hillary) has a problem with telling the truth . . . While the other one (Obama)
adores and still supports a racist. (As covered by the national media this past week.)
This is many times worst than a mess!
With all this melancholia, depression like atmosphere within the democratic party and it's
leadership, how can this flip-flop party expect to pick a "descent" individual to run for
the presidency of the United States? It's impossible!
Honest leadership isn't showing it's face anywhere you look in the democratic party. Like
I said before, (it's their own undoing).
(It's my opinion they made a big stinking mess of this whole primary!)
That's the way I see it and May God Bless America

FYI. . .perspective from Homer.
Interesting conversation with Mike Heimbuch on the heels of that 2:1 vote against local
bonding for Homer projects. He sits on Homer City Council and said that he can't see
support for ANY of the capital projects erroneously put into the Sup Budget. In fact only
thing he'd like to see funded in the Capital Budget is the request for diagnostic
equipment and that 's it,
He likens this to a rich relative giving large gifts that diminish the value of another
gift. He said these large unnecessary appropriations destroy the community's ability to
get behind, actively work for, and seek out the funding that is truly important to
them. . .as they get addicted to easy handouts. He said the recent vote in Homer against
bonding was the largest rejection of the "if you build it they will come" entitlement
mentality he's seen in a long time.
Mike can't figure out why Gary Stevens and Paul Seaton are gunning for things the
community doesn't want.

As you can see, I am not one. of your constituents, but I am writing because of the
possibility of your becoming the VP candidate on the McCain ticket. As noted on the "Draft
Palin for VP" blog, someone asked what your position on illegal immigration is. I will
quote his words and ask if you plan to issue any statements on this topic.
"We need to know where Governor Palin stands on illegal immigration. Not just slogans or
platitudes or token gestures of enforcement like Romney and others are offering, but
concrete proposals that will make a big difference now.
Specifically, does she support completion of the fence and other barriers across the full
length of the Mexico-US border?
Will she fight for jobsite raids to find and deport illegals and imprison employers who
knowingly hire illegals instead of Americans and legal immigrants?
Will she fight to repeal automatic "birthright" citizenship for children who are born on
our soil because their parents are here illegally?
Will she increase funding and staffing for the Border Patrol as much as necessary to seal
the US -Mexico border?
PRA GSP01 0014291
As President or Vice-President, would she fight to cut off federal funds for cities that
give sanctuary to illegal aliens?
And so on. No issue is more important to me than illegal immigration. I'm impressed with
Governor Palin's record, but we need to hear from her in detail on this critical issue
before deciding whether she should be in the White House. Thanks..."

I want to commend you on the fine job you are doing as our first female governor and thank
you for being a great role model to my little daughter and all of Alaska's girls and
women. I am glad I voted for you and it is so encouraging to see a strong woman in
government leadership who is also conservative and puts an emphasis on family. You are
probably the highest profile working mom in Alaska and I wanted to ask you a question. I
write a newsletter called SHINE for my church, Kenai New Life Assembly of God, and X often
write articles about family, faith, patriotism, fun and inspiring things, etc. I am
planning a special issue for Mother ! s day and wondered if you could find time to email us
your thoughts on being a mom; how it has changed you, what you love about it or find
difficult and planning for the newest one while working in your busy job! I know this is a
lot to ask, but if you could possibly do just a little write up about your experience as a
working mom, it would certainly
be most appreciated. I would be happy to send you examples of this publication if you are
interested. Your participation would make this year's Mother's Day edition extra special
for the moms of our congregation. Thank you so much for considering this request. We are
all proud of you here in Kenai I
Sincere congratulations for all your success and blessings !

Dear Governor Palin:
First congratulatons on the upcoming event for your family. I hope it all proceeds safely
and smoothly. Such things should be private, but for a public official, I ! m not certain
that word exists. In any case, best wishes to you and your family.
I was tempted to list the topic as "elections" but I suspect you want to reserve that for
Alaska elections. I'm interested in finding out whether there is anyone on your staff who
could be contacted about the interest in you for the Republican VP nomination. I am a
registered Republican in PA and frankly, I like your views as stated publicly and think
you would make an excellent candidate. I want to know how I can help advance that
candidacy and if there is anyone you could refer me to, I'd be most appreciative. I've
found the websites and the various blogs, but they are all unofficial and aside from
creating a very local interest, they don't really create a national network. So far as I
know you don f t have a website or an organized committee to explore possibilities, but I'm
hoping there is someone, even unofficially, who may have something organized for your
behalf.
If you can't refer me to them, could you at least pass my name, email and/or cell phone on
to them?
Thanks in advance and best of luck!

Attached is a draft program for the National Governors Association (NGA) Centennial Meeting in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, on July 11-14, 2008. NGA is planning a day of special events on Saturday, July 12, in Philadelphia's
outstanding Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts to honor all current and former governors.
All governors will be seated on a specially designed stage in a tiered-theater style, allowing everyone an opportunity to
participate in the discussions and be visible by ail meeting attendees and multiple television cameras. Discussions will be
moderated by award-winning journalists and both President Bush and Clinton have been invited to be part of the day. The
spouses of current and former governors will have opportunities during the day to renew acquaintances and will be seated
together in a prominent location during the day's business sessions.
A private luncheon for current and former governors and their spouses will be held between the business sessions.
Following the afternoon session, ail governors and their spouses are invited to a reception and private tour at the Liberty
Bell Pavilion followed by a closing centennial celebration at the National Constitution Center.
We hope this advance information about the meeting program will assist you in your scheduling. To finalize our plans for
the day, as well as design the staging and seating layouts, we would like to know as soon as possible if you anticipate your
governor attending the annual meeting, and particularly, participating in the activities on July 12, Thanks, in advance, for
this information. Additional details will be sent to you as soon as they are available.

Yes, I've tried many different ways to access it through the icon, through the tv station
that used to show it. Also, can Tom or someone look back on security tapes from last night
(starting at 1:35am) and Sunday evening to see who kept ringing the door bell?

Tom- did the Security alarm ever get re- set after you explained to Todd last week that
something was wrong with it? And the security camera doesn't show on the tv or home
computers anymore. I ask because it's 1:40am and someone's ringing the doorbell again and
I can't see who it is without going down there (same thing happened Sunday). All is fine,
but haven't heard if something happened with security camera outdoors.

Pay to Plav On Climate Change
By Tom Donohue
Sunday night on "60 Minutes,'' former Vice President Al Gore said he is
launching a three-year, $300 million campaign aimed at mobilizing Americans
to push for aggressive reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Everyone
from Al Gore to Environmental Defense has been very effective in raising the
alarm about global climate change and framing a convenient villain (usually
some variation of "big American business"). However, they tend to get all
fuzzy when it comes to two things.

PBS on April 16 and tells the behind-the-scenes story about the links
between intellectual property (IP) theft and other illicit activities, including
arms and human trafficking, terrorism, child labor, and drug trade.
The film is based on Dr. Moises Nairn's best-selling book Illicit and will be
rolled out to local chambers and universities around the country and at 106
American Chambers of Commerce in 94 countries.

Thank you for your email concerning the mailer that was recently sent to Chugach
customers. Governor Palin has not endorsed any candidate running for the Chugach Electric
board. While misleading, the candidates did not do anything illegal by using the Governor's
official portrait and a quote from her. I appreciate that you took the time to contact our

Dear Governor Palin,
We received an 8 w x10* card Friday from the Chugach Action Committee endorsing Wiggin, Reiser, and
Izzo for the Chugach Electric board of directors with your beautiful photo on it, implying that you hold an
opinion on renewable energy that is opposed to Uwe Kalenka's and the other incumbents running for
re-election, Rebecca Logan and Liz Vazquez. Nothing could be further from the truth. Those running
the deceptive card know it, yet they would use your photo to deceive the voters into thinking that you
endorse their people. Every day thousands of ballots are being cast, and as a most beloved governor,
known for your honesty and love for this state, your opinion matters greatly to the voters, (card)
I think you know that Uwe, Rebecca, and Liz are certainly not anti-worker nor anti-union - the
employees have the right to be represented. But we are opposed to their being on both sides of the
bargaining table. We believe that the board should represent the 70,000 members of the cooperative
and that the co-op should be run as efficiently as possible. People are really hurting from the high cost
of their utilities and so much of it is waste! Uwe, Rebecca, and Liz are trying to add fiscal responsibility
to the co-op. They are willing to look at all options for power generation and all options for working with
other utilities to lower the cost of doing business and maintain system reliability. They are opposed
every step of the way for the good work that they do.
So please understand my position as not anti-IBEW when I point out that Wiggin, Reiser, and Izzo's
campaign is supported by IBEW Union. In 2006, Larry Bell crowed about the IBEW Union employees
getting their guys, Jeff Lipscomb and Jim Nordlund, on the board. Jeff and Jim are members of the
other IBEW front group, Chugach Reliability Group. The two groups are one and the same. Their
campaign is one and the same.
http://www.chuQachconsumers.ora/lib/ibew2cac.htm
Wiggin, Reiser, and Izzo have run nothing but lies on TV and radio. We estimate from media buys on
TV and radio, the quality of mailers and ad production that they are spending about $400,000 to buy
these three board seats. They are blasting the airwaves with lies and innuendo. They even passed out
flyers at church yesterday at ABTs candidate Sunday that was nothing but outright lies. They have no
shame at all. If you have seen any of the ads, you may even be asking yourself, what is the truth? The
following link addresses "the firings", Liz's expense report, and Uwe's true stance on renewable
energy ... the rest of the story. I hope you will read it for the sake of these three very good people,
Uwe, Rebecca, and Liz.
http://www.chuaachconsumers.org/Lib/cc2008TruthReportSHORT3.pdf
I am sure that you understand the importance of having good leaders at the helm of Chugach. I know
that if there is something that you can do to undo the harm of the misuse of your photo, you will do it.
But more than anything, I would hope you will share my admiration and respect for our candidates no
matter what the results of this election. They are three of the most fantastic people I know and I am
proud to be promoting them as candidates.

Governor - I was interviewed by Dave Donaldson, Anne Sutton, Bill McAllister, Stephen M.,
Kristina?? On the second floor about the capital budget - told them there are significant
items missing that are basic health, safety, deferred maintenance projects gave them some
examples like water & sewer projects, transportation, etc... told them the big
differences really are the number of district projects added under DCCED grants -
approximately $300 million - versus state priorities. Clearly there has to be a
responsible budget by the end and that we will continue to work toward that.
They also asked about when you will make a decision on supplemental - told them we still
have a few more meetings with legislators - that I didn't think we would be able to do
much before Thursday -

This is the second in a series of analyses of NAFTA and the U.S, Presidential Primaries.
U.S. Preisdnetial Primary and Republican Debate over NAFTA
On January 1 2008, the final provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA) was implemented, abolishing all agricultural tariffs that were in effect The free
trade agreement, which was signed by U.S., Mexico, and Canada, took effect at the
beginning of 1994. In spite of die driven proselytizing of Mexican President Carlos Salinas
Gotari, NAFTA was not beloved by all. In that country, the biggest opposition to NAFTA has
come from the peasant farmers, who most recently expressed their indignation in Mexico
City, when over 100,000 campesinos, condemned the trade pact at El Zocalo (the citys
central square), on January 31, 2008.

Subsidized U.S. Agro-Industry Poses Mortal Threat to Mexicos Poor Farmers
rhroughout NAFTAs brief history, Mexicos peasant farmers have arguably suffered the most
adverse consequences from the free trade agreement. Despite the massive protests, current
Mexican President Felipe Caldern has made it clear that he will not even consider re-negotiating
SfAFTA, However, he may soon have to face the question as a result of pressure from either Barack
Obama or Hillary Clinton, if either one of them wins the presidency.
tegardless, Caldern insists that he can begin to address the campesino cause in his country by
mplementing policies aimed at alleviating the negative economic impact of having to compete with
3elow-market priced agricultural imports from the U.S. He also plans to eradicate tariffs that
apparently will seem to mainly hurt the already struggling subsidence farmers throughout the
country, mainly in the south.

Kris- pis call Mayor Keller and ask her again for her last year's justification for asking
for the town ! s top priority: emergency kitchen in the Complex to meet FEMA match (or
however it was justified through the legislature) . She and district lawmakers need to
justify that as it was her #1 request.*. I'm getting heat for that one still and she/Lyda,
Vic didn't really have to explain it when I didn't veto it lat yr. It wasn't vetoed thanks
to regional balance needs in the budget process, the local and federal match helped too.

WASHINGTON — Top executives of the five biggest U.S. oil companies were pressed Tuesday to explain the soaring
fuel prices amid huge industry profits and why they weren't investing more to develop renewable energy source such
as wind and solar.
The executives, peppered with questions from skeptical lawmakers, said they understood that high energy costs are hurting
consumers, but deflected blame, arguing that their profits — $123 billion last year — were in line with other industries.
"On April Fool's Day, the biggest joke of all is being played on American families by Big Oil," Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass.,
said as his committee began hearing from the oil company executives.
With motorists paying a national average of $3.29 a gallon at the pump and global oil prices remaining above $1 00 a barrel,
the executives were hard pressed by lawmakers to defend their profits.
'The anger level is rising significantly," said Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., relating what he had heard in his district during the
recent two-week congressional recess.
Alluding to the fact that congressmen often don't rate very high in opinion polls, Cleaver told the executives: "Your approval
rating is lower than ours and that means your down low."

I heard what you are hearing. Americans are very worried about the rising price of
energy," said John Hofmeister, president of Shell Oil Co., echoing remarks by the other four executives from Exxon Mobil
Corp., BP America Inc., Chevron Corp., and ConocoPhillips.
But the executives rejected claims that their companies' earnings are out of step with other industries and said that while they
earn tens of billions of dollars, they also invest tens of billions in exploration and oil production activities.

PRA GSP01 0014384

"Our earnings, though high in absolute terms, need to be viewed in the context of the scale and cyclical, long-term nature of
our industry as well as the huge investment requirements," said J.S. Simon, Exxon Mobil's senior vice president.
But Markey asked Simon why Exxon Mobil hasn't followed the other companies in investing in alternative energy. The four
other companies reported spending as much as $3.5 billion in recent years on solar, wind, biodiesel and other renewable
projects.
"Why is Exxon Mobil resisting the renewable revolution,** asked Markey.
Simon said his company, which earned $40 billion last year, had provided $100 million on research into climate change at
Stanford University, but that current alternative energy technologies "just do not have an appreciable impact" in addressing
"the challenge we're trying to meet."
Executives from the largest U.S oil companies have been frequent targets of lawmakers, frustrated at not being able to do
much to counter soaring oil and gasoline costs.
In November, 2005, Hofmeister and the top executives of the same companies represented Tuesday sat in a Senate hearing
room to explain high prices and their huge profits.
The prices are of concern, Hofmeister said at the time, adding a note of optimism: "Our industry is extremely cyclical and what
goes up almost always comes down," he told the skeptical senators on a day when oil cost $60 a barrel.
About six months later, when the cost of the same barrel reached $75, the executives were grilled again on Capitol Hill on their
spending and investment priorities.
Recently oil prices reached a peak of $1 11 a barrel. While declining a bit in recent days, the price remains above $100 and
there's talk of $4 a gallon gasoline in the coming months.
Markey challenged the executives to pledge to invest 10 percent of their profits to develop renewable energy and give up $18
billion in tax breaks over 10 years so money could be funneled to support other energy and conservation.
The executives said the companies already are spending billions of dollars — more than $3.5 billion over the last five years —
on renewable fuels such as wind energy and biodiesel, but rejected any tax increases.
"Imposing punitive taxes on American energy companies, which already pay record taxes, will discourage the sustained
investment needed to continue safeguarding U.S. energy security," Simon insisted.
"These companies are defending bfllions of federal subsidies ... while reaping over a hundred billion dollars In profits in just the
last year alone," complained Markey, chairman of the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming.
The House last year and again on Feb. 27 approved legislation that would have ended the tax breaks for the oil giants, while
using the revenue to support wind, solar and other renewa
ble fuels and incentives for eriergy conservation. The measure has not passed the Senate.

With motorists paying a national average of $329 a gallon at the pump and global oil prices remaining above $100 a barrel,
the executives were hard pressed by lawmakers to defend their profits.
'The anger level is rising significantly," said Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., relating what he had heard in his district during the
recent two-week congressional recess.
Alluding to the fact that congressmen often don't rate very high in opinion polls, Cleaver told the executives: "Your approval
rating is lower than ours and that means your down low."

! heard what you are hearing. Americans are very worried about the rising price of
energy, 11 said John Hofmeister, president of Shell Oil Co., echoing remarks by the other four executives from Exxon MobiJ
Corp., BP America Inc., Chevron Corp., and ConocoPhillips.
But the executives rejected claims that their companies' earnings are out of step with other industries and said that while they
earn tens of billions of dollars, they also invest tens of billions in exploration and oil production activities.

"Our earnings, though high in absolute terms, need to be viewed in the context of the scale and cyclical, long-term nature of
our industry as well as the huge Investment requirements," said J.S. Simon, Exxon Mobil's senior vice president.
But Markey asked Simon why Exxon Mobil hasn't followed the other companies in investing in alternative energy. The four
other companies reported spending as much as $3.5 billion in recent years on solar, wind, biodfesel and other renewable
projects.
"Why is Exxon Mobil resisting the renewable revolution," asked Markey.
Simon said his company, which earned $40 billion last year, had provided $100 million on research into climate change at
Stanford University, but that current alternative energy technologies "just do not have an appreciable impact" in addressing
"the challenge we're trying to meet."
Executives from the largest U.S oil companies have been frequent targets of lawmakers, frustrated at not being able to do
much to counter soaring oil and gasoline costs.
In November, 2005, Hofmeister and the top executives of the same companies represented Tuesday sat in a Senate hearing
room to explain high prices and their huge profits.
The prices are of concern, Hofmeister said at the time, adding a note of optimism: "Our industry is extremely cyclical and what
goes up almost always comes down," he told the skeptical senators on a day when oil cost $60 a barrel.
About six months later, when the cost of the same barrel reached $75, the executives were grilled again on Capitol Hilt on their
spending and investment priorities.
Recently oil prices reached a peak of $111 a barrel. While declining a bit in recent days, the price remains above $100 and
there's talk of $4 a gallon gasoline in the coming months.
Markey challenged the executives to pledge to invest 10 percent of their profits to develop renewable energy and give up $18
billion in tax breaks over 1 years so money could be funneled to support other energy and conservation.
The executives said the companies already are spending billions of dollars — more than $3.5 billion over the last five years —
on renewable fuels such as wind energy and biocfiesel, but rejected any tax increases.
"Imposing punitive taxes on American energy companies, which already pay record taxes, will discourage the sustained
investment needed to continue safeguarding U.S. energy security," Simon insisted.
These companies are defending billions of federal subsidies ... while reaping over a hundred billion dollars in profits in just the
last year alone," complained Markey, chairman of the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming.
The House last year and again on Feb. 27 approved legislation that would have ended the tax breaks for the oil giants, while
using the revenue to support wind, solar and other renewa
ble fuels and incentives for energy conservation. The measure has not passed the Senate.

James,
Sorry for the confusion. You are correct 1 left out the word "not". It makes a little bit of a difference.
Regarding the section of the state law you referenced, most of our property tax levy is for education. We are
required to contribute 4 mills of the full and true value, but we also contribute up to the amount allowed by State
law. My reference to 4 mills was in a different context. Our total levy is just over 10 mills and approximately 8 mills
is for education.
Right now I am swamped with the budget, i will spend sometime early next week reviewing the State laws to see if
I think there is any flex that would allow for an exemption.

Craig,
Did you mean to say you CAN'T advise on the ANCSA?
Let me give you the rundown on where we are at with Goldbelt, and how we got there...
BEFORE the push to close Echo Cove, Rough Riders AK, Inc. approached city, state and federal agencies to try to
find a solution to the overcrowding at Echo Cove and the resource damage caused by over use. We asked for a
dedicated access point, signage and permission to do trail maintenance. After about a year, Docks & Harbors
"Found" an old ordinance, in effect since the 70's but NEVER enforced or even known of by CBJ officials. At this
point we approached Goldbelt, Inc about using their land "Legally". We received an Adamant NO! We countered
with options for user fees f area maintenance, Landowner Liability insurance, etc... Still No.
Several months later we received a call from Bob Martin at Goldbelt Now there was some interest in a possible
agreement. The requirements were as follows:
• Rough Riders AK, inc. will provide Landowner Liability Insurance that would cover all users of the land - We
can do this but to be covered the person MUST be a member of the Club.
• Rough Riders AK, Inc. will provide ALL enforcement on site
• Goldbelt will require a user fee of some sort. The actual fee, or method is yet to be determined, but some
sort of permit was discussed.
o This fee will cause the land to revert to Taxable Status for the duration of permit or lease, based on
ANCSA. Goldbelt, Inc is aware of this. Rough Riders AK, Inc. MUST ensure that Goldbelt, Inc not
incur ANY tax liability. The Attorney for Goldbelt stated that an exemption from CBJ was the only
option they could see that would work for them. An option would be for Rough Riders AK, Inc. to
agree to pay any Tax liability as a result of our use but the property taxes on such a large parcel
would be far more than we could cover.
I have been pouring over State Tax Law and found the following:
(m) A municipality may by ordinance partially or totally exempt all or some types of economic
development property from taxation for up to five years. The municipality may provide for renewal of the
exemption under conditions established in the ordinance. However, un de r a ren e wal a municipality that
is a school district may only exempt all or a portion of the amount of taxes that exceeds the amount
levied on other property for the school district A municipality may by ordinance permit deferral of
payment of taxes on all or some types of economic development property for up to five years. The
municipality may provide for renewal of the deferral under conditions established in the ordinance. A
municipality may adopt an ordinance under this subsection only if before it is adopted, copies of the
proposed ordinance made available at a public hearing on it contain written notice that the ordinance, if
adopted, may be repealed by the voters through referendum. An ordinance adopted under this subsection
must include specific eligibility requirements and require a written application for each exemption or
deferral In this subsection "economic development property" means real or personal property, including
developed property conveyed under 43 U.S.C. 1601 etseq. (Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act), that
(1) has not previously been taxed as real or personal property by the municipality;
Does the highlighted sentence refer to the 4% you were talking about? If not, is this something we can qualify
under? My understanding from reading this, which could very well be wrong, is that the limit on the exemption is
only on a RENEWAL. Would this allow for an initial 5 year period? I am clueless when it comes to tax issues.
Really what rt comes down to is this... Goldbelt is willing to allow this use if they can make money, have no tax or

I can really advise you on ANCSA. What were you planning as an arrangement with Goldbeit. Sounds like you
were going to enter into a lease. I can understand from Goldbeit that they would not want to assume the liability.
Maybe you can work some arrangement with Goldbeit to use the property without entering in to any lessee
positions. However, I realize that it is a lot of work to build the trails and you may not want such uncertainty.
Again, I would be happy to give some thought to any ideas you may have.

Things are not looking good for OHV users in the Juneau area. It seems like the more we try, the more we lose! I
know there were issues at Echo Cove but the push for enforcement of a ordinance that hadn't been enforced in 35
years came after we, Rough Riders AK, Inc., approached CBJ & State offices to attempt to make the area safer for

Subject: RE: Property Tax Exemption
James,
I understand you concerns. However, in Alaska a local government's ability to tax (or in this case not to tax) is
governed by the State. The State's interest is in getting their share. Under the State's funding formula for
education local governments are required to contribute 4% of all property they could tax. The State then withholds
the equivalent of the 4% in State support to the school districts. Jf we optionally exempt property, we are still
required to contribute the 4%. This means we go backwards by 4 mills when we provide optional exemptions.
In this case, you have an unusual situation of dealing with ANCSA where the business purpose is a nominal
amount. The taxation of the property stays with owner unless the owner is exempt If the owner is exempt then
the taxation of the property falls to a lessee if that lessee is determined to be taxable. We can likely deal with the
taxable status of the OHV group. This could be a community purpose exemption if you have a 501 (c) (3) or (4)
designation. However, the taxable status to the owner creates a problem that likely has no tax relief solution. The
real tax issue in this case is to somehow be allowed to use the property without jeopardizing the ANCSA required
exemption or being able to provide Goidbelt with an optional exemption or transferring the property to an exempt
organization.
On your question about lessening the burden, it is not as simple as stated. If the property is assessable, then it
must be assessed at full value unless it is personal property that can be flat taxed (note an airplane is personal
property) or optionally exempted and the mill levy must be consistent across the area levied. Mr. Van Sant's
comment may refer to flat taxing aircraft or reducing the mil) levy within the area. Both of which do not help the
OHV Park situation.

After more research it turns out that the exemption made by the Assembly for Executive Flight was illegal. I have
attached the responses from the State as well as CBJ law dept.
Page 2 , Paragraph one of the State Assessor memo states that "There are alternatives available to the Assembly
to lessen the taxation burden..." Can anyone tell me what these are and how much the potential" Lessening" of the
tax burden would/could be?
This is an issue that CBJ has shown support for, and it seems there should be a way to remedy the tax issue. So 1
guess my question is, how much support does the OHV community have from the CBJ? The North Douglas OHV
Park has turned into a situation that is destined to fail. Even if the permits are approved by the Planning
Commission (which I highly doubt), the opponents have made it clear that they will continue to do EVERYTHING in
their power to get it closed down.
This opportunity with Goldbelt would essentially solve the OHV problem in Juneau, i find it hard to believe that
there are no options to remove the tax burden.
Rough Riders AK, inc. cannot afford to pay the property taxes that Goldbelt would incur from our use of the
property. This would provide both a short, and long term solution. As it is, where is the OHV community
supposed to recreate this summer?
So, two years later, I am asking the same question... Is there anything that anyone can do, or is willing to do, to
help find a short term solution to the Juneau OHV issue?

The Assembly can only grant exemptions within the structure of the State Statutes. To be exempt you/we would
need to find a category within the State Statutes that would qualify the property for optional exemption purposes.
State real property assessments breakdown into 3 categories; taxable, optionally exempt (29.45.050) and required
to be exempt. If the property becomes taxable to Goldbelt, then it would be Goldbelt that would need to meet one
of the State's optional exemptions.

Based on the ANCSA, Goldbelt will no longer be exempt on the land if we lease it. Once we are no longer using

by CBJ to exempt the land used from taxes during the lease period. The Assembly has, in the past, granted

Craig,
I have had several conversations and email exchanges with Mr. Tripp in this regard over
the past month. I forwarded his questions to the Law Dept, and have spoken with both
Barbara Ritchie and Jane Sebens on several occasions in regard to this matter. Jane
researched the legalities of the situation, contacted both myself and Mr. Tripp directly
last week, then followed up with me on the situation afterward. My understanding of the
situation is;
Roughriders AK Inc. has a 501(c) 3 status with the IRS, but the community purpose
exemption application will only apply to property that they own, not lease.
Goldbelt offered to allow Roughriders AK Inc. land to use for the OHV park, on the
condition that it not cost Goldbelt any time, money or effort on their part and it not
change their exemption status. ANSCA regulations specifically state the exemption is lost
on any property that is leased to another entity on that portion that is involved, so
Goldbelt would become taxable. Roughriders is requesting approximately 400 acres to
my understanding. Jane explained to Mr. Tripp that the options could be, if Roughrider
would pay the taxes on the property that Goldbelt would lose their exemption on, then
it is possible Goldbelt would be amenable to the proposition.
Possessory interest would apply to a private entity such as Roughriders AK Inc, leasing
publicly owned land, however the tax liability is attributable to the private entity.

Below is a request from Assembly member Chambers. If I missed anything, would you make sure the correct
information gets on to Mr. Tripp. I did respond to Ms. Chambers and Mr. Tripp with the following -
Sara,
The Assessor's Office makes determinations on property exemptions. State Statutes govern what \s taxable or
exempt Under the statutes, 1 can see a couple of potential taxation exemption possibilities. First, to have a
possessory interest in the property for taxation purposes, the lessee must have certain rights to the property for a
specific time. The fewer rights and the shorter the period, the smaller the assessed value. We also have a
Community Purpose exemption available if the use of the property meets certain restrictions. An exemption can be
granted if the organization leasing the property has an IRS designation of 501(c) (3) or (4) and the property is open
to the public for community purposes without material fees or individual access restrictions. There is a form to
request a Community Purpose exemption available in the Assessor's Office or on our web site -

The original email did include Martha Torres, who is an Appraiser in our Assessing Office. But just incase, l will
forward this information on to our Assessor, Robin Potter, for review and response.

Sara,
The land is out on the uphill side of Echo Cove. Could be as much as 500
acres available.
We need to find out if we can get an exemption on any property taxes they
would incur from our 'Taid" use of the land. Currently it is exempt land
under ANCSA.
I was able to find where the Assembly voted in favor of an exemption in a
similar situation. I have attached the minutes from the assembly meetings
where the proposal was discussed and again when the exemption was granted.
Look for "Executive Flight" .
Executive Flight was a company who leased a plane for Medical Transport, to
a non-profit, and so they requested an exemption on that plane only. The
situation is similar in the fact that Goldbelt is a For-Profit corporation,
who would be leasing to a non-Profit (Rough Riders AK, Inc. - 501(c)(3)
Public Charity).
The biggest difference I see is the fact that Executive Flight was currently
paying tax on the plane (I think it says $32,000 a year) so by granting that
exemption CBJ was missing out on money, whereas the land in question is NOT
currently taxed, but would become taxable while we were paying to use it, so
there would be no loss to the CBJ.
Let me know what you think, and if you know where I should start the
process. (I have already contacted the CBJ assessors office and was informed
that under current ordinances we do not qualify for any of the optional or
required exemptions since we do not own the land,

Governor - I was interviewed by Dave Donaldson, Anne Sutton, Bill

budget - told them there are significant items missing that are basic
health, safety, deferred maintenance projects gave them some examples
like water & sewer projects, transportation, etc.
1
told them the big
PRA GSP01 0014404
differences really are the number of district projects added under DCCED
grants - approximately $300 million - versus state priorities. Clearly
there has to be a responsible budget by the end and that we will
continue to work toward that.
They also asked about when you will make a decision on supplemental -
told them we still have a few more meetings with legislators - that I
didn't think we would be able to do much before Thursday -

Ensuring public health and safety are responsibilities the state should take seriously.
Last year f s appropriation for a new kitchen for the Wasilla Multi-Use Sports Complex was
an opportunity to support a community that took the lead in looking out for its residents
This was not an appropriation to build a recreation facility. The MUSC had been serving
the needs of Mat-Su student-athletes and their families for three years prior to the
appropriation, which came with the full support of Mat-Su legislators.
When the facility was conceived, city leaders had the vision to plan for it to serve as an
evacuation shelter in the event of a natural disaster. To this end, cots, blankets and
other necessary shelter items have been acquired and pre-positioned for ready use.
Additionally, response-readiness exercises have been conducted. With the addition of the
industrial-type kitchen, the facility can be turned into a fully-functioning emergency
shelter following a disaster.
The funding request was publicly vetted and was well -supported as a priority for the

Hope everything is going well. I have one more day left of school and I
have another spring break! Won't be long until I aire back in Alaska, it is just around the
corner. I was wondering if I might be able to work for you once I got back in the summer
and into my school year? School Starts late August and I have class registration in the
next few days. I have somewhat mapped out my class schedule and am taking evening classes
4pm- 9pm Monday-Thursday (for the most part) . I have not a clue as to what hours would be
better but I am very flexible and it is easy to change. Anyhow, hope X caught you at a
good time.. Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Hope everything is going well . I have one more day left of school and I
have another spring break! Won't be long until I am back in Alaska, it is just around the
corner. I was wondering if I might be able to work for you once I got back in the summer
and into my school year? School Starts late August and I have class registration in the
next few days. I have somewhat mapped out my class schedule and am taking evening classes
4pm- 9pm Monday- Thursday (for the most part) . I have not a clue as to what hours would be
better but I am very flexible and it is easy to change. Anyhow, hope I caught you at a
good time . . Have a wonderful Wednesday !
Love,
Britta

THIS EMAIL IS FROM UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA BOARD OF REGENTS' CHAIR MARY K.
HUGHES. Her direct email is: mkhughes@acsalaska.net
Dear Members of the Alaska Legislature:
I have reviewed the capital budget CS put out by the Senate Finance Committee today. As chair of the
Board of Regents, I feel it necessary to communicate my concerns regarding the major renewal and
replacement funding — UA's highest capital priority.
The amount for major R&R (i.e. deferred maintenance) included in the CS ($20 million) is seriously
deficient when compared to the problem. Year after year the legislature has chosen not to fund major
maintenance for the university system, resulting in a backlog of $750 million across the state. And, if
tiie $20 million appropriation is not increased, the backlog will grow to $785 million next year alone.
With over 6 million square feet of facilities and nearly 400 buildings spread throughout Alaska, the
university requires about $50 million for maintenance each year just to stay current As Senator
Steadman pointed out in his press conference today, the Board of Regents doesn't make the
appropriations, the Legislature does. However, the Board is charged with governing the university and a
big part of that assignment is managing the public facilities in an efficient and responsible manner. We
need the assistance of the legislature to accomplish this task. Since 2000, an average of $ 1 3 million has
been funded annually for R&R against a $50 million annual need.
The university is not alone in its maintenance challenges, which are shared by many state agencies as
well. If the legislature continues to choose not to fund major maintenance, it may create a problem
rivaling that of PERS/TRS.
I would encourage you to increase the capital budget funding to at least equal the governor's request of
$40 million. I would also encourage you to make an additional appropriation to reduce some of the
8/26/2009

backlog. Despite legislative comments to the contrary, the university can fully commit the $50 million
in maintenance projects included in the Regents request this year - as well as $70 million in deferred
maintenance projects. Many of these priorities are large projects and will take two or three years to
complete, but they can't start without the funding. We have a great deal of experience in the area of
facility maintenance and the projects are scoped and planned, and in many cases, ready to implement
immediately.
The facilities of the University of Alaska are owned by the people of Alaska. Please honor their
reasonable expectation that these facilities will be maintained.

Would you like us to invite the press to the bill signings tomorrow? I'm not sure how big

with press, I should probably send an advisory out tonight. Please let me know - thanks.

resolution that the House and Senate are going to support. The resolution calls for
amending the special session agenda to include in- state gasline proposals to be
considered. Don asked for a copy of the resolution, but they wouldn't give him one.
Not sure if and when this is going to happen, but wanted to pass along, I just looked at
the House and Senate floor calendar and I don't see it on there, nevertheless it could
come up.

Now get ramped up to slam the actions of leggies on budget and AGIA expanded call- they
just ended their presser with: there's no leadership on the gasline, that's what we need

MESSAGE:
Gov. Sarah Palin,
I did not know who to contact but felt I needed to get this situation on paper so that
others were aware of such situations regarding our service men. My husband, Travis
Seefeldt was deployed January 3rd of 2008. It was to be a six month deployment and he is
to return July. Around the third week of March my husband was rushed for an emergency
surgery to the Baghdad hospital. He had infected lymph nodes and his appendix removed. I
did not receive a call until two days after from one of the supervisors to let me know
what was going on. The gentleman proceeded to tell me that he would not be able to work
as he was before the surgery, but because of the economic issue they could not send him
home. X found this irritating how they could keep someone when he could not even wear his
safety gear without the risk of hurting himself even more. Then the first shirt proceeded
to tell me he would try and find something for him to do so basically saying that they had
nothing. My husband fe
It useless to say the least and still has issues even walking without pain. Worse they
put him on Oxycontin and let him walk around with delusions. I may not know much but this
seems so unsafe to me. I am pregnant with all the added stress we almost lost our child.
His sister recently came forward to tell everyone her step-dad of eleven years was
molesting her. With all this I became seriously ill as did he. Travis told them he was
depressed and worried about the well being of his family, they said fine you can go home
but we will dishonorably discharge you take away your GI Bill and so on. When he joined
the air force, and to this day, they preach about safety and family, I ask myself is this
PRA GSP01 0014465
their idea of being safe and being family oriented? The shirt told Travis that the only
other way he could come home would be for me to claim insanity. The general told him that
50,000 other people have the same issues and that he is not special. I feel like they
have failed him and us
as a family that is protecting this counl
try. I truly believe he would be more useful at home, and worry his safety is being
neglected but at this point just want to speak up. There is so much more to say, but I
hope through this you get the generals. Who else do I contact to go over this issue with?
Thank you,

Alaska Receives Rating Upgrade to AA+
ACES, AGIA and Budget Reserves credited
April 2, 2008, Juneau, Alaska - Governor Sarah Palin announced that
national rating agency Standard & Poor's is increasing its rating on the
State of Alaska from AA to AA+. The last time the State's rating was
PRAJ3SP01_0014467
upgraded was on August 5, 1992 when Standard & Poor's shifted from AA-
to AA.
"Our fiscal prudence is being recognized by the financial markets. It
affirms our efforts to control government spending and live within our
means," Governor Palin said. "We have been working hard advocating for
Alaska, both within the state and outside, and I am pleased to see it
paying off . "
Standard and Poor's is viewed as the authoritative source for state bond
ratings. As part of its analysis of Alaska, standard and Poor's
referenced the State's substantial and growing reserves, a budget
surplus due to high oil prices and the implementation of the new ACES
petroleum profits resource valuation, combined with prospects for a
natural gas pipeline. Specifically, the Constitutional Budget Reserve
Fund was mentioned as essential to the rating increase.
"This rating increase indicates that we're on the right track," Governor
Palin said. "We will continue to work toward future upgrades by being
responsible about how much we spend and how we prioritize spending, and
by ensuring that we save as much as possible to prepare for the future."
The credit upgrade may result in one quarter of one percent lower cost
of capital to the State which will save tens of millions of dollars over
the life of proposed bonds.
PRAJ3SP01_0014468
"By effectively demonstrating the strength and stability of the State of
Alaska's finances, the public will benefit with reduced costs for
infrastructure and other publicly financed projects," Revenue
Commissioner Pat Galvin said.

have another spring break! Won't be long until I am back in Alaska, it is just around the
corner. I was wondering if I might be able to work for you once I got back in the summer

next few days* I have somewhat mapped out my class schedule and am taking evening classes
4pm- 9pm Monday-Thursday (for the most part) . I have not a clue as to what hours would be

Commissioner,
I was taken aback by your response to my op-ed. The governor is truly doing a good thing here crafting an
appropriate budget, trying to work with legislators, sponsoring legitimate legislation that will benefit Alaskans. I
will defend her to the death in these efforts. And, it is not as you've told me "hero worship/
I'm surprised too, that you're not more fired up — 15 of 16 of your DOA projects were cut by the Senate and your
response is to "not throw more gas on the fire.** As the governor directed her commissioners and advisors earlier
today, it's time to unite and defend priority projects and legislation. I support her 100% and will do my small part
by conveying to Alaskans what I observe in Juneau.
What's most frustrating is my message would sound much stronger coming from someone like you— a true leader
and a commissioner serving in Gov Palin's cabinet. I'm disappointed you aren't bolder with legislators.
In my humble opinion, at the very least you should be willing to defend your budget and your governor, let alone
me. Although you and I don't agree, I will continue to fight for Alaska's best interest with my governor and let
Alaskans know this governor will not stand for the status quo. I will also continue to work civilly and respectfully
with you, but I won't be afraid to share my opinion, and defend and support my governor every day, whether I
work in this administration or not.
With respect,
Ivy

Frank,
Homer may have a response to Stedman's words in the ADN
"I can defend and justify every project in that district" Stedman said. "You'll see there is no fluffy stuff."
Stedman's words reflect part of a problem with public spending. Legislators are the focal point for projects
originated by municipalities and other interest groups. Certainly these groups don't see their projects as 'fluffy
stuff nor do we expect them to. These projects often make it onto CIP wish lists of a city or borough. But that may
not be sufficient proof of public need or community support. In Homer this last month, by a 2-1 margin, voters
rejected an 8 million dollar bond for a new city hall and town center. This project had support of the Legislature,
University, city government, and several interest groups, stretching back many years.
8/26/2009
PRA GSP01 0014481
Page 2 of 2
The Homer vote can be instructive for us. Often times the very people who bring projects forward for public
funding have not measured the will of the people. The fact that an interest group or local government has a
decent purpose in mind is not adequate reason to hold the public treasury hostage or badger people into
spending it.
It may be difficult to see why a governor might personally agree with and support the public purpose of a project -
and yet find reason to disapprove spending public money on it. It is simply because the governor is not elected to
impose their personal preferences upon the public or hand out some yearly allowance to well behaved
children. People expect the governor to apply a consistent and defensible approach for measuring public need
prior to spending public money. y
To the extent that election of a governor reflects the will of the people - so then must the people's will be reflected
in the veto pen of the governor.

If you look at the waves that roll in on a beach, they're created by a number offerees -winds, tides,
underwater currents and unknowable factors. I've heard that the Native kayakers took this into account,
as they planned how to navigate the ocean.
In this case, we have:
-frustration over the shortened session
-baggage from the last session over capitol projects
-the leadership dynamic in the Senate
-lawmaker anxiety about the corruption scandals (...which makes the legislature as a whole look bad)
-election year politics (Corruption scandal fall-out makes this worse. Lawmakers have a bigger need for
legislative trophies to show their constituents.)
Lots of stuff to make for rough waves. On this last visit to Juneau, the level of rudeness caught me by
surprise. It's ahrd not to take it personally. It seemed to me that there's more involved than just anger
with the Governor.
Let me know what I can do to help communicate with Rural lawmakers.

Subject: More Alaska Corruption, Labor, AFSCME, Murkowski, etc
Steven Wright is the ADF&G liaison for federal funding I know, and he is also the Southeast
Alaska AFSCME shop steward for ADF&G. He has ignored my complaints about treaty
violations . He has ignored my complaint about hostile work environment. He has ignored ethics
violations. He has ignored my complaints of abuse of Federal funds. He has ignored my
complaint about Collective Bargaining Aagreement violations. He has ignored perjury by state
employees in the ADF&G.
Maybe you are right, and perhaps Steven Wright really has no clue as to what is going on. He is
then only one of many with questionable competence, but I think there are some ill motives
involved, Maybe his interest in the shop steward position is to subvert the contract or law.
I hear the state is replacing the $7 million federal cut themselves, but the ADF&G is also
loosing out on some Pacific Salmon Commission funding. I call that a start.
Best thing is that some fingers get pointed at his inaction now that the ADF&G is loosing some
large chunks of Federal Funding. I had suggested to the commissioner that I have set this as a
goal that the Federal Government not support invidious discrimination and thuggery.
Some DOI EEO people were the first to suggest cutting funds, but they could not take action
complaints other than to suggest to their supervisors cutting budgets. Gale Norton did send out a
memo suggesting DOI funded programs comply with EEOC guidelines about the same time I
was contacting them.
In one of my "disciplinary meetings" or "investigatory meetings" I read some things from a
book FIGHTING FAIR (formerly titled FIGHTING WITH GHANDI -not sure of the author;
which listed several principles. Kim M extracted "Don't avoid Conflict" as something she could
use to paint me as some conflicting combative person who she had an excuse to not represent.
She made all sorts of conjectural statements about how I had "Laid awake thinking about this."
What BS. She did not take note of the "strive for a win-win situations," and now there are
becoming some BIG losers.
So much for the win-win for Kim Metcafe. Maybe she should spend about the same amount of
time in Prison for fraud as I have in the Federal Courts trying to get her and SOA investigated.
I think there is some mail fraud there. I think there is a lot of fraud, including Jim Duncan
ignoring his Conflict of Interest stipulation. And his pretending to be able to represent the
contract. All the AFSCME folks need to spend some time in prison. I like seeing that Jim Clark
has agreed to work with DOJ, and they suggest state prosecutions in his agreement. Wouldn't it
be perfect if they went to a state prison system in AZ instead of a FCI golf camp?
Her (Kim M's ) conjecture is about all she put on a grievance , no sign of the words hostile work
environment, work not done as a result, unequal distribution of hours, Layoff issues, illegal hire,
quid-pro-quo, ethics violation, treaty violation issues, Lacey Act federal felony, retaliation, etc,
nothing at all. A balk.
Steven could have showed up as a rep but did not. I did not even know he was in the building as
Management would desire. But he knows his role as is everyone in Labor Management and
Union- Lie, Deny, Fraud and Defraud and subvert the law or contract.
I am pretty sure some of the feds (DOI auditors) I talked with have checked his work, as I
pointed them towards him. He might as well be painted in with the same brush as Jim, Kim,
Dick and Art
Who knows about the former commissioners that are beholden to industry at all cost or expense
of sane salmon management.
The SOP says to make sure to hear what people have to say before any discipline. There was a
"casual link" on the first letter which acknowledged "reverse discrimination." EEOC was told
there was no "casual link" but the link is actually quite clear in the letter. Someone lied to the
EEOC officers (perjury) and it was by mail, so I think that adds another mail fraud. It might
have been someone from the Alaska Human Rights Commission where Hayes' wife (convicted/
10/22/2009
PRA GSP01 0014493
Page 2 of 4
plead guilty of corruption) worked.
The tapes I have recorded sound more like extortion and threats than discipline, and I have begun to circulate them to the Federal agencies
(DOJ, FBI). I have More to transfer to CD which I am not sure if I can do on this computer, but they pretty much sound like threats to drop
complaints, rather than discipline. I am surprised KimM took no action upon hearing them. I guess if she was smart she would have destroyed
them.
By the way, what do you know about D&O 157? My understanding is that it established a group of CEA employees that would conspire and
retaliate and scheme and update schemes and all the while not violate worker rights. Art had a lot to do with it, Lynn Ate appeared, Dianne
Corso had some to do with it, all people who I have been sent round and round to ad nauseum. Art seems sensitive about the mention of it, and
a letter of proffer and cooperative witness among them would probably result in some conspiracy convictions.
Art says D&O 157 was a good thing (par Arthur) though it was shot down at the Superior court level, and not taken to the Supreme Court by
the Knowles AG. I have no doubt they carried out their management plans discussed here regardless of respecting what any court said. I have
seen it.
httD^/www.labor.state.ak.us/laborr/do/1 57.htm
Confidential Employees Association vs. State of Alaska, Decision & Order No. 157 (04/07/1993). Superior Court REVERSED Agency decision and
order AND REMANDED for a new Agency hearing in case number 1JU-93-0656CI on September 1, 1994. On October 12, 1994, the Superior
Court issued an ORDER OF CLARIFICATION IN 1 JU-93-0656CI.
Funny how you cannot find this case or set of litigants in the court website.
Arthur seems a bit apprehensive about what he was doing with this case, and when it is brought up on the weblog it touches a nerve I can tell.
Art seems sensitive about the mention of 157. A letter of proffer to the least culpable ofthem with an offer to be a cooperative witness
among them would probably result in some conspiracy convictions.
Art has now said publicly that Jim Duncan f s conflict of interest complaint and stipulation was a public document, and the fact I could not get it
by asking was an obstructionist tactic. Now that he knows I have seen a copy of it he claims it is confidential and that I stole it. I beleive Art
is a true sociopath and whichever story fits at the time is what he uses, without any concept of truth or lies , just what ever works at the time.
And typical of corruption, Art had his quid-pro-quo political campaign donations for his Murkowski appointment (2x $500 is the maximum,
I beleive). As well his revolving door job to represent the ACOA which violated the two year conflict of interest policy of the state Executive
Branch Ethics Act

I talked with a Local Agent last month and the discussion inevitably he moved away from the Lacey Act and treaty violations which were
DOI and NOAA OLE, and towards Labor Relations and Arthur Chance. I accurately described Art as the "Robert Sorich" of the
Murkowski Administration and showed the Agent a record of the promotion of the person I recorded admitting retaliation (James 'Brit 1
Lobdell) . Brit was promoted with a transfer, and the Sitka ADF&G should have been suspicious of this Admin, appointment. Someone there
knows more about it for sure.
http://www.bettergov.org/pdfs/sorich complaint.pdf
Brit was promotes during seasonal leave which was unheard of. He was promoted within a week of giving his name to Art in Downtown
Juneau m Early 2005. I described the tape to Art and suggested this was direct evidence of retaliation, and would not be a good thing for his
case. Art was in charge of reward and punishment and Merit meant nothing in his retaliatory schemes, even though Merit Principle is in the
contract.
These actions (Executive and Admin Orders) of the Murkowski Administration were not about seeing ethics or collective bargaining or
EEOC missions were fulfilled, but of moving and reorganizing it to political contol, and his cheats.. They were about setting up an illegal
patronage scheme where people like. Scott Ogan or Robin Taylor would pe political shoe-in's regardless of the extreme lack of qualifications.
Maybe Jim Clark's cooperation will be of help with investigation of this direction of Minkowski's corruption in hiring practices.

Maybe more on the Attorney General's corrupt bastards later. And that one standing master who thought she would get the judge appointment
by conspiracy and fraud with her AG contacts, Eric Stone at the Fairbanks office should look for the phone links between 465-4 137 and the
Fairbanks courts. It appears the AG assistants ghostwrite findings for the former standing master up there.

John,
Was this in response to something Stephen wrote to you? I knew Stephen when he worked at DOE and i tried to get him
involved in the union but seemed to be aloof. Funny how he did get involved after working a stint at the Office of the Governor,
Tony Knowles. Stephen is a nerd, so I imagine he doesn't really understand what you are saying...

Hi Stephen-
1
j I hear the state is replacing $7 million that the Federal Government has removed from the budget. Why the federal budget cuts anyway?
j Maybe having Jim Duncan and his cronys take over a employee union was something too late to reconsider now. But it will all work out in
the end I AM SURE, Not to worry, I will file Jim Duncan's Conflict of interest stipulations under seal, as it appears to be an illegal
contract . Or was it a public document as Art Chance said? This will be to be in front of a Federal Judge who may be concerned about
Alaska's treaty violations. Have you talked to Jim about your role yet, and how you wilt defend yourself? I remember giving you some
information that you would have been required to act on by state statute, but I guess you were familiar with the do-nothing plan.
I sent the tapes I recorded of Britt Lobdell admitting to conspiracy and retaliation to the DOJ just shortly before he was demoted and
resigned. Is the state trying to make the witnesses like Britt disappear now? Where is Brit Lobdell anyway? He was appareing to take the
role to be Bill Milks' star witness. Are you familiar with Bill Milks* work? And his use of federal money funded schemes? How about
Hayward as his criminal client?
Have you investigated his (Hayward's) incursiuons into sleeping girls* cabins? There was some plant manager concerned about his daughter
waking up in the middle of the night with him touching on her. How about the girl he attacked, have you talked with her yet? Maybe it is
time if it is not too late. I know there is a no-investigation policy, but now other agencies have stepped in. Maybe you should at least pretend
to not be a corrupt bastard. Maybe there are higher authorities doing what you should have done. But Do you ever wonder why or where
the state of Alaska comes under such intense Federal Scrutiny? Do you think it will end soon?
I have finally found a copy of Jim Duncan's file on his conflict of interest complaint and stipulation, which he violated. It explains
everything. I will make sure to mention your name to the Federal Judges, as you obviously are a willing and knowing participant as a do-
nothing AFSCME shop steward. I am quite excited about testing the power of the courts as I can see that people do hear the complaints I
file. And I have learned alot about finess, and of course, I asked for your support so long ago. Perhaps there is no longer a way to heed the
things 1 asked to be considered, and no way to recall our previous communications.
How does it feel to be a member of a corrupt organization (AFSCME Local 52) now that the Federal DOJ is taking notice of your fraud ,
waste and abuse of federal coffer?
I figure six years for you, about the same time I have spent in pursuit of my statutory and contractual grievance. I think there will be others
, that know you, that testify once it comes down to fraud charges. Not to worry, Jim Duncan, Kevin Brooks, Kim Metcalfe, Hal Geiger, Art
) Chance, Dianne Cotso, Lyn Ate, Adrienne Snow, and perhaps fourry others from labor relations and personnel will be there to keep you
! company for those five ot ten years. I am arranging this plan for your future with the agents and prosecutors.

Mike/Russ: remember to hold Meyer accountable for fulfilling his
committment to holding the hearing on CON today. You were there when he
told me he would do this today. We have compromised on things to assist
him with this budget arid other things, to the detriment of my
fulfillment of some strong committments and convictions - leading to
some inconsistencies on my (and our admin's) part. He must fulfill his
committment now on this - it's the right thing to do for Alaska, and for
him to break his word now will unfortunately prove Meyer is not
trustworthy. That would lead me to not trusting him on the budget that
is in the works today. So, make sure he's following through on today's
CON hearing before giving green light to his budget wishes. Thanks
Also, Russ - pis make sure Bert feels pressure to hustle with my Tire
Tax and Business License bills, and that he acts on them, especially
before I'm asked to make amends with any Senator in his caucus re: their
annoyance over my statements concerning the special session call and
budget shenanigans.

Dear Gov. Palin,
Our newspaper printed a list of some of the budget items requested by the legislature and the reasons
for your veto. The item "not a function of government" appeared quite often. You were absolutely
correct. I don't write very many letters but I can truly tell you that you have the earned confidence of a
whole bunch of people here on the peninsula. Politicians don't usually impress anybody around here and
these last years have been dreary. But you bring us a little hope that maybe there are some good people
that gravitate to government. Stay strong and honest and if you need some help feel free to call (or just
drop in for supper). Continue to watch over our interests and try to keep government as small and
unobtrusive as it can be and you will never need to worry about your job. Thank you.

The theme for the conference speaks for itself, "Making a Difference: Knowledge of Our
Mothers keeping our Culture alive". The conference pays tribute in many different and
creative ways; something you don't want to miss out onl Please see the various forms
that come with the packet.
If you know of any person who would be interested in attending this conference please

Subj ect : RE : Therriault
On a morning radio show today, the hosts talked about who the most
honest and ethical leaders are in state government. First it was hands
down Gov Palin, followed by both Nancy Dahlstrom and Gene Therriault.
This talk came on the heels of last night's muni election and how people
desire change and ethical leadership.

He rocks. He and his crew are doing an awesome job trying to get

Albeit ineffective, but heroic nonetheless.

Subject: More Alaska Corruption, Labor, AFSCME, Murkowski, etc
Steven Wright is the ADF&G liaison for federal funding I know, and he is also the Southeast
Alaska AFSCME shop steward for ADF&G. He has ignored my complaints about treaty
violations . He has ignored my complaint about hostile work environment. He has ignored ethics
violations. He has ignored my complaints of abuse of Federal funds. He has ignored my
complaint about Collective Bargaining Aagreement violations. He has ignored perjury by state
employees in the ADF&G.
Maybe you are right, and perhaps Steven Wright realty has no clue as to what is going on. He is
then only one of many with questionable competence, but I think there are some ill motives
involved. Maybe his interest in the shop steward position is to subvert the contract or law.
I hear the state is replacing the $7 million federal cut themselves, but the ADF&G is also
loosing out on some Pacific Salmon Commission funding. I call that a start.
Best thing is that some fingers get pointed at his inaction now that the ADF&G is loosing some
large chunks of Federal Funding. I had suggested to the commissioner that I have set this as a
goal that the Federal Government not support invidious discrimination and thuggery.
Some DOI EEO people were the first to suggest cutting funds, but they could not take action
complaints other than to suggest to their supervisors cutting budgets. Gale Norton did send out a
memo suggesting DOI funded programs comply with EEOC guidelines about the same time I
was contacting them.
In one of my "disciplinary meetings" or "investigatory meetings 1 ' I read some things from a
book FIGHTING FAIR (formerly titled FIGHTING WITH GHAND1 -not sure of the author;
which listed several principles. Kim M extracted "Don't avoid Conflict" as something she could
use to paint me as some conflicting combative person who she had an excuse to not represent.
She made all sorts of conjectural statements about how I had "Laid awake thinking about this."
What BS. She did not take note of the "strive for a win-win situations," and now there are
becoming some BIG losers.
So much for the win-win for Kim Metcafe. Maybe she should spend about the same amount of
time in Prison for fraud as I have in the Federal Courts trying to get her and SOA investigated.
I think there is some mail fraud there. I think there is a lot of fraud, including Jim Duncan
ignoring his Conflict of Interest stipulation. And his pretending to be able to represent the
contract. All the AFSCME folks need to spend some time in prison. I like seeing that Jim Clark
has agreed to work with DOJ, and they suggest state prosecutions in his agreement Wouldn't it
be perfect if they went to a state prison system in AZ instead of a FCI golf camp?
Her (Kim M's ) conjecture is about all she put on a grievance , no sign of the words hostile work
environment, work not done as a result, unequal distribution of hours* Layoff issues, illegal hire,
quid-pro-quo, ethics violation, treaty violation issues, Lacey Act federal felony, retaliation, etc,
nothing at alt. A balk.
Steven could have showed up as a rep but did not I did not even know he was in the building as
Management would desire. But he knows his role as is everyone in Labor Management and
Union- Lie, Deny, Fraud and Defraud and subvert the law or contract.
I am pretty sure some of the feds (DOI auditors) I talked with have checked his work, as I
pointed them towards him. He might as well be painted in with the same brush as Jim, Kim,
Dick and Art.
Who knows about the former commissioners that are beholden to industry at all cost or expense

of sane salmon management
The SOP says to make sure to hear what people have to say before any discipline. There was a "casual link" on the first letter
which acknowledged "reverse discrimination." EEOC was told there was no "casual link" but the link is actually quite clear in the letter.
Someone lied to the EEOC officers (perjury) and it was by mail, so I think that adds another mail fraud. It might have been someone from the
Alaska Human Rights Commission where Hayes 1 wife (convicted/ plead guilty of corruption) worked.
The tapes I have recorded sound more like extortion and threats than discipline, and I have begun to circulate them to the Federal agencies
(DOJ, FBI), I have More to transfer to CD which I am not sure if I can do on this computer, but they pretty much sound like threats to drop
complaints, rather than discipline, 1 am surprised KimM took no action upon hearing them. 1 guess if she was smart she would have destroyed
them.
By the way, what do you know about D&O 157? My understanding is that it established a group of CEA employees that would conspire and
retaliate and scheme and update schemes and all the while not violate worker rights. Art had a lot to do with it, Lynn Ate appeared, Dianne
Corso had some to do with it, all people who I have been sent round and round to ad nauseum. Art seems sensitive about the mention of it, and
a letter of proffer and cooperative witness among them would probably result in some conspiracy convictions.
Art says D&O 157 was a good thing (par Arthur) though it was shot down at the Superior court level, and not taken to the Supreme Court by
the Knowles AG. I have no doubt they carried out their management plans discussed here regardless of respecting what any court said. I have
seen it.
http://www.labor.state.ak.us/laborr/do/157.htm
Confidential Employees Association vs. State of Alaska, Decision & Order No. 157 (04/07/1993). Superior Court REVERSED Agency decision and
order AND REMANDED for a new Agency hearing in case number 1JU-93-0656CI on September 1, 1994. On October 12, 1994, the Superior
Court issued an ORDER OF CLARIFICATION IN 1 JU-93-0656CL
Funny how you cannot find this case or set of litigants in the court website.
Arthur seems a bit apprehensive about what he was doing with this case, and when it is brought up on the weblog it touches a nerve I can tell.
Art seems sensitive about the mention of 157. A letter of proffer to the least culpable of them with an offer to be a cooperative witness
among them would probably result in some conspiracy convictions,
Art has now said publicly that Jim Duncan's conflict of interest complaint and stipulation was a public document, and the fact I could not get it
by asking was an obstructionist tactic. Now that he knows I have seen a copy of it he claims it is confidential and that I stole it. I beleive Art
is a true sociopath and whichever story fits at the time is what he uses, without any concept of truth or lies , just what ever works at the time.
And typical of corruption, Art had his quid-pro-quo political campaign donations for his Murkowski appointment (2x $500 is the maximum,
I beleive). As well his revolving door job to represent the ACOA which violated the two year conflict of interest policy of the state Executive
Branch Ethics Act

I talked with a Local Agent last month and the discussion inevitably he moved away from the Lacey Act and treaty violations which were
DOI and NOAA OLE, and towards Labor Relations and Arthur Chance. I accurately described Art as the "Robert Sorich" of the
Murkowski Administration and showed the Agent a record of the promotion of the person I recorded admitting retaliation (James 'Brit'
Lobdell) . Brit was promoted with a transfer, and the Sitka ADF&G should have been suspicious of this Admin, appointment. Someone there
knows more about it for sure.
http://www.bettergov.ora/pdfs/sorich compjaint.pdf
Brit was promotes during seasonal leave which was unheard of. He was promoted within a week of giving his name to Art in Downtown
Juneau in Early 2005. I described the tape to Art and suggested this was direct evidence of retaliation, and would not be a good thing for his
case. Art was in charge of reward and punishment and Merit meant nothing in his retaliatory schemes, even though Merit Principle Is in the
contract.

These
EEOC
actions (Executive and Admin Orders) of the Murkowski Administration were not about seeing ethics or collective bargaining or
missions were fulfilled, but of moving and reorganiaing it to political contol, and his cheats.. They were about setting up an illegal
patronage scheme where people like Scott Ogan or Robin Taylor would pe political shoe-in's regardless of the extreme lack of qualifications.
Maybe Jim Clark's cooperation will be of help with investigation of this direction of Minkowski's corruption in hiring practices.

Maybe more on the Attorney General's corrupt bastards later. And that one standing master who thought she would get the judge appointment
by conspiracy and fraud with her AG contacts. Eric Stone at the Fairbanks office should look for the phone links between 465-4 137 and the
Fairbanks courts. It appears the AG assistants ghostwrite findings for the former standing master up there.

John,
Was this in response to something Stephen wrote to you? I knew Stephen when he worked at DOE and I tried to get him
involved in the union but seemed to be aloof. Funny how he did get involved after working a stint at the Office of the Governor,
Tony Knowies. Stephen is a nerd, so I imagine he doesn't really understand what you are saying...

Subject: AFSCME Local 52 Racketeering and Federal Funding
Hi Stephen-
I hear the state is replacing $7 million that the Federal Government has removed from the budget. Why the federal budget cuts anyway?
Maybe having Jim Duncan and his cronys take over a employee union was something too late to reconsider now. But it will all work out in
the end I AM SURE. Not to worry, I will file Jim Duncan's Conflict of interest stipulations under seal, as it appears to be an illegal
contract . Or was it a public document as Art Chance said? This will be to be in front of a Federal Judge who may be concerned about
Alaska's treaty violations. Have you talked to Jim about your role yel, and how you will defend yourself? I remember giving you some
information that you would have been required to act on by state statute, but I guess you were familiar with the do-nothing plan.
I sent the tapes I recorded of Britt Lobdell admitting to conspiracy and retaliation to the DO J just shortly before he was demoted and
resigned. Is the state trying to make the witnesses like Britt disappear now? Where is Brit Lobdell anyway? He was appareing to take the
role to be Bill Milks' star witness. Are you familiar with Bill Milks' work? And his use of federal money funded schemes? How about
Hayward as his criminal client?
Have you investigated his (Hay ward's) incursiuons into sleeping girls' cabins? There was some plant manager concerned about his daughter
waking up in the middle of the night with him touching on her. How about the girl he attacked, have you talked with her yet? Maybe it is
time if it is not too late. I know there is a no-investigation policy, but now other agencies have stepped in. Maybe you should at least pretend
to not be a corrupt bastard. Maybe there are higher authourities doing what you should have done. But Do you ever wonder why or where
the state of Alaska comes under such intense Federal Scrutiny? Do you think it will end soon?
I have finally found a copy of Jim Duncan's file on his conflict of interest complaint and stipulation, which he violated It explains
everything. I wilj make sure to mention your name to the Federal Judges, as you obviously are a willing and knowing participant as a do-
nothing AFSCME shop steward. I am quite excited about testing the power of the courts as I can see that people do hear the complaints I
file. And I have learned alot about finess, and of course, I asked for your support so long ago. Perhaps there is no longer a way to heed the
things I asked to be considered, and no way to recall our previous communications.
How does it feel to be a member of a corrupt organization (AFSCME Local 52) now that the Federal DOJ is taking notice of your fraud ,
waste and abuse of federal coffer?

I figure six years for you, about the same time \ have spent in pursuit of my statutory and contractual grievance. I think there will be others
that know you, that testify once it comes down to fraud charges. Not to worry, Jim Duncan, Kevin Brooks, Kim Metcalfe, Hal Geiger, Art
Chance, Dianne Corso, Lyn Ate, Adrienne Snow, and perhaps fourty others from labor relations and personnel will be there to keep you
company for those five ot ten years, I am arranging this plan for your future with the agents and prosecutors.
Hope you had a happy April Fool's day! Lord knows we all need to laugh about something. Sorry I'm laughing about your

Sharon and ivy: it must not have occurred to Russ how important is was for me to be told

result of our presser yesterday. This is what I meant in the pc yest when I said: if
Alaskans knew what was going on in this building, they'd be outraged. So- since Alaskans
won't hear the message of what's going on here any other way, you two need to let the
press know. To tell reporters what's going on - Russ and Mike may not want to "annoy"
lawmakers any further by sharing what's really going on with Alaskans, but I totally
disagree with that tactic. Yes, it may make their jobs easier (to not annoy lawmakers),
but we are serving Alaskans, we're not serving Bert, Lyda, Harris... and through the press
Alaskans need to know what's up.

Subject: Expanded call
When you get a chance I'll need to hear more about gasline update. Mixed messages are all
over the building as I promise that in-state use of our gas is top priority, and promise
to not have abandoned my first committment from my campaign days until now: that of course
an Alaskan project is considered. The message received by too many, though, is that we're
saying AGIA doesn't have anything to do with a smaller AK project.
PRA GSP01 0014524
I had feared it would take the legislature "taking over" this issue and telling us what we
must do and must concentrate on - that's exactly what happened yesterday because I don't
believe we've communicated well at all that we've been working on this all along.
Obviously a loud and ugly bell was rung yesterday, one that can't be unrung until others
on the gasline team share the same message I've been trying to: it's Alaska's gas, top
priority is getting it connected to Alaskans so we benefit with its usage and the jobs
associated. We understand the need for new energy
for AK - that's why I f m here.
Someone in our press conf yesterday said we wouldn't expand the call (I said it didn't
look necessary be the call was already general) , but I did not say we would diss the
legislature and NOT expand it/address in-state. (That's already being erroneously
reported. )
Very difficult now that lawmakers have demanded that we answer what they finally
understand 80 percent of Alaskans want - and I've been first in line demanding the same
thing (from the ads with Hammond and Hickle, thoroughout my first year in office, and it
continues today) ... but with them hijacking this since they keep hearing AGIA is
exclusively about a Canadian project, we're in a tough spot.
I still have the bumper sticker: Canada my ass, it's Alaska's gas... and I'm still not
convinced I was wrong then and the 80 percent of Alaskans are wrong who want that result
too. Granted it took our critics and the legislature a year to embrace that same bumper
sticker slogan, but they're there now, finally.
So the message can NOT be "AGIA doesn't have anything to do with this" (as I keep
hearing!), the message and sincere and true goal has to be: "this is what AGIA's all about
and it's what Tom, Marty, et al have been working for since day one". I know you know this
and we're on the same page, but the message is not consistent with others and has been
received erroneously by Alaskans and lawmakers. We must address this or we've lost any
handle on AGIA that we had.
You rock. That's why Blockbuster's offering you one month of Blockbuster Total Access

Press with Steve
With Steve Haagenson - tomorrow while I'm in the Anchorage office in the afternoon* plan
is to speak with any interested media re: in-state use of our energy sources. Marty will
be contacting Bruce on this, I wanted to let Sharon know also just fyi, as Marty will also
be touching base with her on it.
We need a better, clearer, more confident response to where we're going on answering the
public and legislature's call for committment to addressing energy needs and in-state
natural gas use.
We can accomplish this tomorrow by allowing Steve (and I'll be with him) to speak to the
issue. We need to assure Alaskans that AGIA facilitates, enables, encourages, etc in-state
use of gas... and Steve can elaborate on that plus other potential energy sources*
I'm spending the day in Anchorage tomorrow before returning to Juneau tomorrow night.

MESSAGE :
Dear Governor Palin;
Today the full House voted unanimously in support of the Purple Heart Trail bill (SB216-
HB283) , Earlier the Senate also voted unanimously in support of the bill, I thank you for
your support on this legislation and to my knowledge not a single person ever voted
against it, not even during the various committee hearings. My two key supporters were
Representative Berta Gardner and Senator Johnny Ellis, they both willingly stepped forward
to get this issue through the legislative process, and now we have it, I am so very
pleased with the results. We of course had many co-sponsors as well.
My question now revolves around the date that you will be able to sign the bill. Much will
also depend on Berta Gardner and Johnny Ellis, I would certainly like for them to be
present when you sign the bill. I am flexible and I will do whatever is needed to support
your schedules. It is not mandatory that I be present, I would like to be but all will
depend on your schedule and that of Rep, Gardner and Sen, Ellis. They have represented me
extremely well and they can do so at any signing. They keep giving me the credit for my
work but I am absolutely convinced that this P/H Trail legislation would not have been
accomplished without their dedicated involvement.
As you know we have invited you and your husband to our annual Department Convention
banquet that will take place on the evening of May 3rd here in Anchorage. That would work
for us but I anticipate a lot of interest from various veterans groups who may want to
attend, but the location is probably not large enough to support the anticipated
attendees. Maybe we could do it a different time that day (9am or so?) at the Anchorage
PRA GSP01 0014529
Veterans memorial, that would hold any size crowd that may attend. 4 or 5 pm might also
work that day because I think our convention will be over by around that time and everyone
could simply head down to the Park Strip.
A second option may be on April 26th in Wasilla at "THE GATHERING" that will take place at
1 PM at the Wasilla Airport. One of the key event organizers (Ric Davidge) as well as
myself hope to see you at that major veterans event if you can work it into your busy
schedule .
We have no special favorites as to time or location and I am open to your schedule, I am
even willing to jump on a flight to Juneau if I need to do so. I am just trying to find a
date that will work for you and for us. We are simply anxious to see you sign this
important and worthy deceased and wounded veterans legislation.
I anxiously await your reply and Thank You so very kindly;
I am, Yours in Patriotism;

Marty- that was an excellent response letter to Ramras. You'd think it would go a long way
in explaining our committment to in-state use. And the assurance that not only does AGIA
not compete with in-state line(s), but it encourages and facilitates it via the 500 mcf
no-compete provision.
If Ramras chooses to NOT receive that message, then he's just pulling a Ramras on us
Thanks for the good letter to him .

Subject: Re: Constituent: Steve Lantz
Lt. Gov Parnell,
Your office and that of the Governor are the very ones that MUST
weigh- in and ensure that the safety of the Alaska Citizens are provided for
Sir, your office and that of Gov. Palin must direct the Dept. Of
Administration to meet the needs of the Dept. of Public Safety* Contact
Comm. Kreitzer immediately and direct her to meet the needs of the Dept.
of Public Safety and make them competitive in the work place so that the
citizens of Alaska may obtain the BEST law enforcement officers available*
As for "a positive outcome to negotiations", your administration has
already shown that will not occur. The DOA has stood fast on their
substandard and insulting offers to our association* YOUR
administration has attempted to take away rights and benefits YOUR State
Troopers DESERVE forcing these negotiations to the drawn out arbitration
phase. YOUR State Troopers and the safety of Alaska* s Citizens will
continue to suffer even longer because YOUR administration has failed to
obtain a "positive outcome to negotiations."
Lit. Gov. I'm saddened by your response and the lack of action by your
office and that of Gov. Palin. You are a true politician. All talk and
zero action. I think Don Young is one of the most arrogant individuals
I've ever met. And I met him, in D.C., in his office. But he says what
he means and does what he says. A few weeks ago I welcomed the
opportunity to vote him out. But I'd rather have an individual say what
he thinks rather than post on his web site how important safety is to
the citizens of Alaska but not follow through with it. As I write this
letter Lt. Gov the very co-worker, who sits next to me, is leaving State
Service due to poor wages, benefits, and public perception of the Alaska
PRA GSP01 0014533
State Troopers . Just another body we have to try and replace and spend
countless dollars to train.
I think Don Young would find your position and the crisis DPS faces very
interesting as the race for HIS seat heats up. I wish I could stand on
your "corner" carrying your "sign."
Best Wishes,

On the crime legislation we introduced, we have started working with

Commissioners Assistance Needed
Mike will be contacting you re: the assistance needed as Stedman has put a stop to all
Governor's bills, and you saw what Senate leadership did to the budget yesterday - actions
that negatively affect your budgets, our agenda to move this state forward, etc. We do
need your assistance here to have restored those things that will allow you all to do your
jobs for Alaskans. Thank you.

Subject: Gov's bills
Mike- pis forward the list of Gov's bills that Stedman has put a stop to to all
Commissioners - they are all affected by his action (and the budget action) - you need to
call on them to chime in now, loudly, at this time. We can't carry this all ourselves -
many Commissioners may not understand these going's on and may assume we have not pushed
hard enough on these bills and on the budget items that they need to run their depts. Ivy
has the list of bills, you have the list of budget cuts. Please email Commissioners and
seek their assistance.

Murky increased it, what, 200-plus percent? The state doesn't need that money from small
business. I asked Bert about it the other day- he smiles and says he's "taking good care

Steve is on it. He's on his way to talk to Stedman. I gave him a list of gov bills
sitting in (S) FIN. He said he's going to start the conversation with 'why has the
business licence fee reduction bill been in finance since May, 2007? You should like that
bill, you're a small business owner."

to not have abandoned my first committment from my campaign days until now: that of course
an Alaskan project is considered. The message received by too many, though, is that we're
saying AGIA doesn't have anything to do with a smaller AK project.
I had feared it would take the legislature "taking over" this issue and telling us what we
must do and must concentrate on - that f s exactly what happened yesterday because I don't
believe we've communicated well at all that we've been working on this all along.
Obviously a loud and ugly bell was rung yesterday, one that can't be unrung until others
on the gaslihe team share the same message I've been trying to: it's Alaska's gas, top
priority is getting it connected to Alaskans so we benefit with its usage and the jobs
associated. We understand the need for new energy
for AK - that's why I'm here.
Someone in our press conf yesterday said we wouldn't expand the call (I said it didn't
look necessary be the call was already general) , but I did not say we would diss the
legislature and NOT expand it/address in- state. (That's already being erroneously
reported.)
Very difficult now that lawmakers have demanded that we answer what they finally
understand 80 percent of Alaskans want — and I've been first in line demanding the same
thing (from the ads with Hammond and Hickle, thoroughout my first year in office, and it
continues today).., but with them hijacking this since they keep hearing AGIA is
exclusively about a Canadian project, we're in a tough spot.
I still have the bumper sticker: Canada my ass, it's Alaska's gas... and I'm still not
convinced I was wrong then and the 80 percent of Alaskans are wrong who want that result
too. Granted it took our critics and the legislature a year to embrace that same bumper
sticker slogan, but they're there now, finally.
So the message can NOT be "AGIA doesn't have anything to do with this" (as I keep

Will do.
FYI that Bert reacted to Tuesday's press conference (yours) by putting a
hold on all gov's bills. He even had one pulled off the schedule for
the next day. Very original, . .and mature, of course. He's going to
either change his tune or answer to such behavior. We can talk about
the next step, as it relates to other issues, today.

Mike/Russ: remember to hold Meyer accountable for fulfilling his
committment to holding the hearing on CON today. You were there when he
told me he would do this today. We have compromised on things to assist
him with this budget and other things, to the detriment of my
fulfillment of some strong committments and convictions - leading to
some inconsistencies on my (and our admin's) part. He must fulfill his
committment now on this - it's the right thing to do for Alaska, and for
him to break his word now will unfortunately prove Meyer is not
trustworthy. That would lead me to not trusting him on the budget that
is in the works today. So, make sure he's following through on today's
CON hearing before giving green light to his budget wishes. Thanks
Also, Russ - pis make sure Bert feels pressure to hustle with my Tire
Tax and Business License bills, and that he acts on them, especially
before I'm asked to make amends with any Senator in his caucus re: their
annoyance over my statements concerning the special session call and
budget shenanigans.

Governor Palin,
Good Vandal greetings from Spokane, Washington.
No doubt you get a tremendous volume of emails, so I'll keep this as short as possible.
I know Idaho alumni everywhere are so very proud of you. Although we've never met, I am in
that company.
I graduated from Idaho in 1973 with a Journalism degree. However, as some of my longtime
newspaper friends put it, I went to the darkside and jumped into advertising and that
was nearly 35 years ago.
On April 26th, the Spokane County Vandal Boosters will sponsor the third annual VandalPest
for Eastern Washington. It's a dinner and auction, with proceeds this year benefiting both
the Idaho Alumni Association and Vandal Scholarship Fund.
Each of the last two years, we've been able to come up with some very special auction
1
PRA_GSP01_0014560
items. They haven 1 t necessarily been large items of great value, but rather things that
are significant for other reasons.
It struck me today, that an item donated by you, with Alaska signif igance, would be very
popular at our auction.
I ! m certain you get regular requests such as this, however I hope you can find time to
consider this one.
I thank you in advance.

present school building. We are hoping to add an additional wing to accommodate the
overflow. The wing will need to be added sooner or later. As you well know sooner is less
expensive than later.
On behalf of the Chevak community, you have a standing invitation to visit us anytime. We
would love to have you.
Best wishes on the difficult decisions you need to make.

Jerry,
Can you submit a formal hearing request to Suzanne in Rep Meyer's office to hear HB 106?
I recognize that the bill has already been scheduled; however, House Finance has requested
a hearing request and back-up information. I had language drafted from February when we
weren't sure if Admin was going to submit a fiscal note or not. Obviously, Revenue is
carrying the ball on this one now; however, I have pasted language into this email that
you can copy into a hearing request to get to Rep Meyer today.

Dear Representative Meyer:
I am writing to request you schedule House Bill 106, An Act repealing fees imposed on the
sale of new tires, the sale of certain studded tires, and the installation of certain
metal studs on tires; and providing for an effective date at your earliest convenience.
House Bill 106 would repeal fees imposed on the sale of new tires, the sale of certain
studded tires, and the installation of certain metal studs on tires.
Current law imposes a fee of $2.50 a tire on the retail sale of new tires for motor
vehicles designed for use on a highway. Current law also imposes an additional fee of
$5.00 a tire on the retail sale of new tires that are studded with metal studs weighing
more than 1.1 grams each on the installation of such metal studs on tires. Families in
Alaska should not be financially penalized by purchasing safer tires for their vehicles.

Hello Governor,
I became a father at 44, it was my fourth child, she wasn't
planned but she's a teenager now and a doll and I love her.
No doubt baby-to-come Palin will energize you when you might
otherwise start "old-aging out." Make sure to bring her (or
him) up a good Republican!
I write to encourage you to sign CCS SB59, which would allow
Radio Stations to advertise fund raising events. If you don ! t,
I certainly hope you'll compensate by not being so abysmally cheap when it comes to
funding Public Radio next year (through an appropriation to the Alaska Public Broadcasting
Commission) next year. Rural Public Radio is literally starving while managing to remain
a vital and very important communications link connecting the people that are in fact the
essence of what Alaska is. We are the "Big Wild Alaska", and we don't need a P.R. firm to
tout the fact. But we do need some portion of the State's earnings to support us.
Loosening advertising restrictions on fund raising events is needed. Signing CCS SB59
will give us a bit more opportunity (to meet our needs) . .

Subject: HB 106 Studded Tire Repeal
Jerry,
Can you submit a formal hearing request to Suzanne in Rep Meyer's office to hear HB 106?
I recognize that the bill has already been scheduled; however, House Finance has requested
a hearing request and back-up information. I had language drafted from February when we
weren't sure if Admin was going to submit a fiscal note or not. Obviously, Revenue is
carrying the ball on this one now; however, I have pasted language into this email that
you can copy into a hearing request to get to Rep Meyer today.

Co- Chairman, House Finance Committee
State Capitol, Room 515

PRA GSP01 0014588
Dear Representative Meyer:
I am writing to request you schedule House Bill 106, An Act repealing fees imposed on the
sale of new tires, the sale of certain studded tires, and the installation of certain
metal studs on tires; and providing for an effective date at your earliest convenience.
House Bill 106 would repeal fees imposed on the sale of new tires, the sale of certain
studded tires, and the installation of certain metal studs on tires.
Current law imposes a fee of $2.50 a tire on the retail sale of new tires for motor
vehicles designed for use on a highway. Current law also imposes an additional fee of
$5.00 a tire on the retail sale of new tires that are studded with metal studs weighing
more than 1.1 grams each on the installation of such metal studs on tires. Families in
Alaska should not be financially penalized by purchasing safer tires for their vehicles.

UPDATE: HB326/SB232 concerning National Guard fire fighter pay passed out of Senate
Finance this morning and will go to the Senate for final vote. It has already passed the
House. This is a Governor sponsored bill.
I think yesterday's closure on the supplemental, combined with the ongoing internal
pressures (from us and legislators from both sides who are invested in these bills) will
loosen up gov's bills in S FIN. We will stay on it, of course.

We're good now. DHHS had already taken care of it. There was a mistake in Meyer's
office. Here was their response:
Sherry,
Interesting. We did receive it. I have a copy of it in my HB 337 binder. Thanks for
following up on this. I think that there may have been some confusion with another
Governor bill that we had not received a hearing request for.
Thanks !

I returned Suzanne's (Rep Meyer's cos) phone call yesterday re: the op-ed. Below is her
response .
His office is saying they haven't heard from the 3rd floor re: a hearing recjuest for this
bill. I work on hearing requests all the time. I'm more than happy to draft the language
and send to Russ to expedite the process— it will take 10 minutes tops, I know the bill
backwards and forwards. I could even send it to Kris to send to Russ as to not step on
toes.

She submitted one for non exempt paybill and we have a back up plan in the house if the
senate doesn't follow thru.
I know you talked to meyer a million times-very frustrating! In our liaison mtg today russ
and mindy didn't realize studded tires was scheduled- they were pleasently surprised. I'll
send studded tire info to get this expedited.
Kris, I think biz license fee will get some traction in sen finance if emil will call
stedman directly and his liaison submits a formal hearing request-the liasion hasn't been
getting any traction so this is a good place for a cabinet member to step up. Could you
talk to emil about that? I think we can get this scheduled.

Governor Palin,
I am writing for the first time to acknowledge the outstanding job you are doing in
Alaska, for Alaskans and the country in general. As a lifelong Sourdough in heart and
soul (but regrettably only a frequent visitor to AK), I follow the tides and tribulations
of the Great State regularly. I count among my friends many hard-core Alaskans, including
the late and sage Jay Hammond.
I have for years cringed the actions of the likes of Young, Knowles, Sheffield, Cowper, F
Murkowski, adn Mr. Stevens *
I find your approach to Government and politics refreshing. I hope Alaska appreciates and
rallies with your efforts.
I get to the point. I am a business consultant by trade and a public servant by habit. I
am a fiscally conservative realist and a life-long student of education. I offer to work
with you in your quest to improve Alaska's education system. I am in my fourth term as a
School Board Trustee for nationally recognized Templeton Unified School District. I would
gladly consider any contribution I could bring to your table in your efforts in this
arena .

And lastly, I urge you to highly consider any offer that should
Vice President of these great United States. I would be
your short tenure in Juneau, however, we need you to help p
Washington and the world, should either Democratic candidate
McCain can't run the country without a person of your compo£
of influence. I search without success in finding your
politics.
I await your comments and reply. And may the grace of God protect you and your growing
family'
be made to you to serve as
ic to dear Alaska for
event the disaster in
get elected. And I fear John

in Government or

Hi- -I am earning my certification to become a parent educator
for infant massage and I would like to see if Governor Palin
would be interested in learning about that for herself. I would
be happy to educate her for free so there is no finanacial or
political issues. I demonstrate different infant massage techniques on a doll and the
parent does the same for his/her
infant. It promotes bonding and attachment not to mention the
benefits of healthy growth, relaxation, and aid in digestive
problems . Please let me know if Governor Palin might consider
this. Thank you--Mary Reimann avid.mary@gci.net

Governor,
Randy Ruaro briefed me on the discussions about airline negotiations and
personnel issues. Deputy Commissioner Klein is an asset to DOT&PF. I have
generally discussed the negotiations and issues with her since she joined the
department in February. Moving forward, I will step up her involvement and seek
further input and comments as we continue the negotiations. My goal is to get the
best possible result for the state and fair terms for all the airlines.
Privileged or Personal Material Redacted
On negotiations with the airlines, I have personally spent countless hours for the
last several months working on the issues with Deputy Commissioner Richards.
We have been able to reach agreement on many of the terms with the airlines.
There are a few key open items we are still working on. These negotiations are
particularly hard because the financial interests of the airlines at the table are
directly opposite of some of the airlines not at the table. For example, Alaska
Airlines wants air cargo carriers who do not use the passenger terminals to pay
tens of millions of dollars over the next 23 years for passenger terminal
improvements. Alaska Airlines and the other AAAC members became upset with
DOT when we disclosed this information to all the other airlines. I strongly feel it
would have been unfair to withhold that information. We will continue to be
open with information to all airlines that are affected by these negotiations.
10/22/2009
PRA GSP01 0014619
Page 2 of 2
I will change our negotiating strategy and relieve some of the pressure on Alaska
Airlines and the other members of the AAAC to reach an agreement at our
negotiating session later this month.
I will not declare negotiations at an impasse or send a final and best offer to all the
individual airlines to review and sign until after you and the chief-of-staff have
been fully briefed.
I might add, I believe the next negotiations with the AAAC is going to give me an
indication of the AAAC seriousness about coming to agreement and concluding
the negotiations. We have been at this two (2) years plus and I feel it is time to
conclude these negotiations.
Governor, I assure you that I will continue to be very involved and working hard
to negotiate the best possible terms for the state and fair terms for all the airlines.
If you would like to discuss these issues further, please call me. I am available at
your convenience.

Rosanne and Sharon- would you make sure Wesley and others reporters have all the info they
need re: the REASONS for individual vetoes and "move to Capitol" listings.
For instance, $10million Port of Anchorage vetoed because it f s taken care of when we put
the money in the bond package .
$5million Palmer-Wasilla Hwy, vetoed because DOT has it pegged for their next year's
budget, they can't spend it this go 'round.
Kasilof boat ramp, $1.2million because its district senators/reps requested it be pulled
until they have public hearings on it... Etc
All good reasons, but reporters have already skipped coverage of that important part of
the announcement. Thanks

Dear governor pal in. If you are at the Stewart memorial during Byron mallots comments.
There is an opportunity to make a good gesture based on his observation that Stewart

I am extremely fortunate to have been able to be part of this women's

Carrier, Sarah Lampe, my brother William, my sister Laura Sheldon and Myrna
Foster, These people are continually stepping forward to make things happen
for others. ANS must be proud of sister Sarah Lampe, Grand Camp Sargent At
Arms who made a trip over to help and who also brought the seal meat that
everyone enjoyed Saturday! I acknowledge President Micalyn Kunz McGhee and
her sister Nelly who were very much a part of this picture; they are true
inspiration of what ANS is all about. Thank you Connie for your continued
respect and for checking on items that needed to be done; you and Emma
really shined. I truly love my mom and after hearing her speak will make
more time for this wonderful lady so she can expect visits from me. I am
glad she is up front and personal; you learn from the best. Last but
certainly not least I would like to personally acknowledge President Martin;
it is a blessing to be working under his leadership. His genuine concern
and support for Elders, youth, family, ANB/ANS and Southeast Native Veterans
shows his commitment in making our organization a good one.
I apologize for not making it in Saturday but had 9 grandchildren I was
caring for. Our day ended after the free swim for them after 8 PM.

I want to take this time and remind everyone that the last Native Issues

Our Alaska Native Sisterhood Camp 2 sisters have been extremely busy organizing a Southeast
Alaska Native Women's Conference that begins today; $25 registration - there are limited
scholarships! I am forwarding you a copy of the wonderful program for the next three days
featuring speakers such as Florence Sheaktey, Laird Jones, Ruth Demmert and panel: Alberta
Aspen, Conine Ragu and Micalyn Kunz McGhee, Iva Graywolf, Healing Ceremony, and a
number of others. Iva will be speaking about suicide prevention. Hopefully our local Native
organizations will allow interested staff to participate in this conference and support our local
ANS Camp 2.
The theme for the conference speaks for itself, "Making a Difference: Knowledge of Our Mothers
keeping our Culture alive". The conference pays tribute in many different and creative ways;
something you don't want to miss out on! Please see the various forms that come with the
packet.
If you know of any person who would be interested in attending this conference please share the
news; we need community support. There is a welcome dinner planned this evening; we are
going to cook: Grilled King Salmon, Roast Pork, rice, buttered corn, salad and a dinner roll.
Dessert too! Come and visit; bring those special people in your life; grandmother, mom; tell your
family! Let's make a difference together.

Subject: Acknowledgement; thank you ANS Camp- 2!
I am extremely fortunate to have been able to be part of this women's
conference and was could not have done it without the following: Diane
Carrier, Sarah Lampe, my brother William, my sister Laura Sheldon and Myrna
Foster. These people are continually stepping forward to make things happen
for others. ANS must be proud of sister Sarah Lampe, Grand Camp Sargent At
Arms who made a trip over to help and who also brought the seal meat that
everyone enjoyed Saturday! I acknowledge President Micalyn Kunz McGhee and
her sister Nelly who were very much a part of this picture; they are true
inspiration of what ANS is all about. Thank you Connie for your continued
respect and for checking on items that needed to be done; you and Emma
really shined. I truly love my mom and after hearing her speak will make
more time for this wonderful lady so she can expect visits from me. I am
glad she is up front and personal; you learn from the best. Last but
certainly not least I would like to personally acknowledge President Martin;
it is a blessing to be working under his leadership. His genuine concern
and support for Elders, youth, family, ANB/ANS and Southeast Native Veterans
shows his commitment in making our organization a good one.
I apologize for not making it in Saturday but had 9 grandchildren I was
caring for. Our day ended after the free swim for them after 8 PM.
PRA GSP01 0014636
I want to take this time and remind everyone that the last Native Issues
Forum is scheduled for April 9th; Senator Kookesh and Representative Bill
Thomas. MC Ron Williams. Our menu plans include entree items of Roast
w/gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cream style corn, spaghetti w/sauteed
onions, green peppers and celery, buttered dinner roll. Dessert: Cake
w/strawberry filling. Pork noodles, bac-o salad, macaroni salad, fruit salad
and hopefully fresh herring egg salad if it arrives in time from Sitka
(donated by Central Council) . Thank you!

I have heard that the Legislature may get done one day early (Sat) . I do not see how the
Senate can leave on friday at this point. They need to concur on the capital budget
otherwise they are accepting that all our projects including the roads, oil and gas, etc.
are not needed. If the House put the final capital budget on the floor wed/thurs, sat
seems possible .
I plan on trying to get a total spending spreadsheet from Meyer today. It will help our

Nice editorial in the ADN today, pointing out the posturing of leggies re: Sp Session and
their request for expanded call .
Talked to a reporter on Friday's return fit to Juneau - he said he's hearing Senate
intends to gavel out on Friday, with or without House ! s completion of work. Does that mean
the House finishes up when they need to, and it's an assumed concurrence by the Senate on
the final product then?

Yes- press folks need to do this, daily. We only have six days where they could do this
effectively. And it gives the press something to focus on and build up to, instead of them
being all over the board on their coverage because they're just not sure what to cover. We
need to set the agenda from here on out and allow the press to understand this so that
Alaskans can understand what's going on. This is so important.

Now I am starting to get concerned that many of our bills will end up with Stedman having

We will keep the pressure on and see what moves in the next few days.

Sounds like The Bristol rumor was started and continues via Lyda's office. (Namely, Portia
Babcock - Lyda's COS, Tuckerman's sister (Tuckerman being Lyda's new son-in-law), former
spouse of Kyle Parker (the oil/gas lobbyist busted for working with Ruedrich while at
AOGCC) , now girlfriend of Ralph Samuels... all those attributes all rolled into one
Portia.
Anyway, a former leg staffer heard the discussion at a rest, in Wasilla, evidently sitting
near Lyda's people... she passed it on again today to folks at my sister's church... it's
pretty pathetic.
Bristol does want it squashed - we just don't know how to do so without making it a bigger
issue. Can you feel out Wesley and McAllister to see if that's where they got the rumor,
as others are saying it's Lyda's office. I figured it was them or Bitney.

So Bill's bill would result in a surplus check being sent to every Alaskan? Not just
those in utilities? How can I help push it? I'll push that one if Wagoner's bill is dead-
which it sounds like it is.
Sharon- I'm cc-ing you be I've been asked by reporters about my intentions on Surplus
Rebate measures - but I have not known status of such latley. I'll see what else I can
find out today on these so we have a good, definitive answer for press, for Alaskans. Our
response so far has been right on- whatever we can do to give the resource owners their
PRA GSP01 0014646
revenue, thanks to this surplus, we support. But I need to articulate a stronger position
on it and take more aggressive action before session ends. Sounds like Bill ! s bill is the
closest we'll come to that this session. Again, if we don't return the funds to Alaskans,
govt will spend it and that's not something I support.

HB 396 is Bill Thomas' measure. It has been heard twice and is still
being worked on in the House Finance Committee. It sounds as if they
amended the bill in the last hearing to change the payment from an
additional $500 permanent fund earning distribution to a general fund
surplus payment.
Wagoner and Therriault have a different version in the Senate Finance
Committee. Their bill would make energy payments to the utilities as an
energy credit that would be reflected on individual's invoices.
Wagoner's bill has not received a hearing to date.

Hi guys: do you know what time Hse or Senate meets today? Wondering if I
should get things done around here before heading over to the office.
Nice editorial in the ADN today, pointing out the posturing of leggies
re: Sp Session and their request for expanded call.
Talked to a reporter on Friday's return fit to Juneau - he said he's
hearing Senate intends to gavel out on Friday, with or without House ' s
completion of work. Does that mean the House finishes up when they need
to, and it ' s an assumed concurrence by the Senate on the final product
then?

I heard it a lot on the Michael Dukes talk show and several times arouna
Fairbanks. Even my Dr. said people are cancelling surgeries or at least delaying them
because of energy bills. People are hurting. We hear it a lot in Fairbanks because power
and energy are mostly based on oil instead of gas as in Anch, God bless. Tom

Erika- there won't be a need to purchase more food between now and end of session - fruit
for Piper (at the most, no need to buy any more food besides that). There 1 s still a lot
here we need to eat up so it doesn't go to waste. Also/ if food can be consolidated
downstairs in all those freezers we could unplug most of them and save electricity. Thanks

HB 396 is Bill Thomas 1 measure. It has been heard twice and is still
being worked on in the House Finance Committee. It sounds as if they
amended the bill in the last hearing to change the payment from an
additional $500 permanent fund earning distribution to a general fund
surplus payment.
Wagoner and Therriault have a different version in the Senate Finance
Committee. Their bill would make energy payments to the utilities as an
energy credit that would be reflected on individual's invoices.
Wagoner's bill has not received a hearing to date.

I was just checking our stats this morning to make sure we were still ahead of Minnesota
The Presidential Challenge website revised the state ranking to reflect participation
levels instead of the raw numbers. Alaska is number 1 in participation! !!!! 1 !! Can you
believe it? The governor should be proud of us.
Also, after my e-mail yesterday, more employees signed up. We now have a 31%
participation rate in the Department of Law (174 people). That is fantastic.
I will send an e-mail to the entire office, but I couldn't wait to tell you the good

Acknowledgement; thank you ANS Camp 2!
I am extremely fortunate to have been able to be part of this women 1 3 conference and was
could not have done it without the following: Diane Carrier, Sarah Lampe, my brother
William, my sister Laura Sheldon and Myrna Foster. These people are continually stepping
forward to make things happen for others. ANS must be proud of sister Sarah Lampe, Grand
Camp Sargent At Arms who made a trip over to help and who also brought the seal meat that
everyone enjoyed Saturday! I acknowledge President Micalyn Kunz McGhee and her sister
Nelly who were very much a part of this picture; they are true inspiration of what ANS is
all about. Thank you Connie for your continued respect and for checking on items that
needed to be done; you and Emma really shined. I truly love my mom and after hearing her
speak will make more time for this wonderful lady so she can expect visits from me. I am
glad she is up front and personal; you learn from the best. Last but certainly not least X
would like to personally acknowledge President Martin; it is a blessing to be working
under his leadership. His genuine concern and support for Elders, youth, family, ANB/ANS
and Southeast Native Veterans shows his commitment in making our organization a good one.
I apologize for not making it in Saturday but had 9 grandchildren I was caring for. Our
day ended after the free swim for them after 8 PM.
I want to take this time and remind everyone that the last Native Issues Forum is
scheduled for April 9th; Senator Kookesh and Representative Bill Thomas. MC Ron Williams.
Our menu plans include entree items of Roast w/gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cream
style corn, spaghetti w/sauteed onions, green peppers and celery, buttered dinner roll.
Dessert: Cake w/strawberry filling. Pork noodles, bac-o salad, macaroni salad, fruit salad
and hopefully fresh herring egg salad if it arrives in time from Sitka (donated by Central
Council) . Thank you!

I was just checking our stats this morning to make sure we were still ahead of Minnesota.
The Presidential Challenge website revised the state ranking to reflect participation
levels instead of the raw numbers. Alaska is number 1 in participation! itllll! Can you
believe it? The governor should be proud of us.
Also, after my e-mail yesterday, more, employees signed up. We now have a 31%
participation rate in the Department of Law (174 people). That is fantastic.
I will send an e-mail to the entire office, but I couldn't wait to tell you the good news!

Dear Governor Palin,
If possible I would like to meet with you for 15 - 20 minutes on Monday to review
the Kaltag case. It is a Native "inherent authority" appeal that will be noticed in
Native circles. I need to approve or deny an appeal and I want you to understand our plan
and have an opportunity to approve or stop it as you will be likely asked about it.
Just let me know if I can come over anytime Monday. Talis

Hi guys: do you know what time Hse or Senate meets today? Wondering if I should get things
done around here before heading over to the office.
Nice editorial in the ADN today, pointing out the posturing of leggies re: Sp Session and
their request for expanded call.
Talked to a reporter on Friday's return fit to Juneau - he said he's hearing Senate
intends to gavel out on Friday, with or without House's completion of work. Does that mean
the House finishes up when they need to, and it's an assumed concurrence by the Senate on
the final product then?

Subject: MESSAGE FROM COMMISSIONER JOE SCHMIDT
(jrood morning DOC staff:
As the legislative session this year comes to a close, I wanted to take a moment
and provide an update of our current budget situation. During my first meetings
with lawmakers in January 2007, it became clear that the way to get support to
increase staffing was to ensure the current compliment of positions were filled. We
heeded this advice, and decided that we would demonstrate our department's
ability to fill the funded vacant positions before asking for increases. We spent
2007 emphasizing recruitment and averaged 737 filled Correctional Officer
positions at years end. This represents the exact number of funded positions we
had available to fill, so we entered the session this year in a good position to
request our needed increase. The Governors request this session added 43
positions, for a total of 780, and both the House and the Senate approved the
request. Since it was approved on both sides, no action by a conference committee
8/28/2009
PRA GSP01 0014679
Page 2 of 2
was needed - which means we are on track to begin filling our additional positions
July 1 st .
It is important to note that these are all funded positions. We are moving away
from the practice of creating positions first, and asking for funding later, or
carrying non-funded positions. Other than years when a new facility opened, this
year will represent the strongest workforce increase in our history. The year-end
average of filled positions in 2006 was 703 Officers, and the average for 2007
increased to 737. Since we are planning on hiring our full allotment of 780 starting
in July, our calendar year average for 2008 should be close to 750.
Our expansion plan is moving ahead as well. The first step in selecting a
contractor for the 1,530-bed Point Mackenzie project is to release a Request for
Qualification. The Mat Su Borough released the RFQ last week, and we plan to
have the contractor selected by this fall. Bonding is currently underway for our
144-bed Spring Creek expansion project and we will testify again this week in
Bethel for a 66-bed expansion project there.
With our facility expansion plan underway, it is time to concentrate on the
community re-entry piece of our mission. Our Probation staff is the center of this
work, and this year will bring an emphasis to recruitment and re-entry planning.
We will employ a similar strategy to the one used with our Correctional Officer
team. We will recruit and fill our vacancies, present a long range plan and request
the resources needed to fulfill our goal. We currently have four vacancies and
Director White and her staff will be working on our long-range re-entry plan. The
last P.O. academy had four students who had transferred from the Correctional
Officer series and one Probation Officer who started as a Criminal Justice
Technician. Varied backgrounds and training only strengthens our team, and
benefits the department as a whole. We are emphasizing a seamless transition
from the institution to the field and a reduction in recidivism.
Much of our program plan will be decided in conference so we will be working on
those issues and providing updates as well. When the conference process
concludes, we hope to release a facility program plan that best prepares the
prisoners for a successful reintegration process.
Thank you all for the work you do, and for your dedication to our line of work.

Well Sis,
It's good to know that you could step forward for the ANS it is a wonderful organization. I wish I had
more time time to commit but at my age I am lucky to have a good job. It gives me a positive feeling
to be able to work with troubled youth. My hours are swing hours and I can't seem to make a meeting
anymore but I want you to know that without the teachings of ANS and ANB I would not have
anything positive to add to anyones life. My heart still has ANB and ANS engraved on it and one day
soon I shall return but for now I am committed to my job. It has always been in my heart to give to
others what I have learned and I have learned not only to love and forgive but to laugh and smile too.
Good job sister.

I thank you so much for pulling this together. You are a professional and giving person. Your name is so
respected and we look up to you too. It was a educational and for me a emotional caring time in my life. We have

Southeast Alaska Native Women's Conference that begins today; $25 registration - there are
limited scholarships! I am forwarding you a copy of the wonderful program for the next three
days featuring speakers such as Florence Sheakley, Laird Jones, Ruth Demmert and panel:
Alberta Aspen, Corrine Ragu and Micalyn Kunz McGhee, Iva Graywolf, Healing Ceremony,
and a number of others. Iva will be speaking about suicide prevention. Hopefully our local
Native organizations will allow interested stafF to participate in this conference and support
our local ANS Camp 2.
The theme for the conference speaks for itself, "Making a Difference: Knowledge of Our
Mothers keeping our Culture alive". The conference pays tribute in many different and
creative ways; something you don't want to miss out on! Please see the various forms that
come with the packet.
If you know of any person who would be interested in attending this conference please share
the news; we need community support. There is a welcome dinner planned this evening; we
are going to cook: Grilled King Salmon, Roast Pork, rice, buttered corn, salad and a dinner
roll. Dessert too! Come and visit; bring those special people in your life; grandmother, mom;
tell your family! Let's make a difference together.

A quick note. Had an e-mail updating ASTs efforts to promote better community relations in
Aniak. Col. Audie Holloway forwarded an e-mail from Lt Craig MacDonald in Bethel about a
cross cultural communications training session held today. Two Aniak Traditional Council
members attended and seemed pleased with the content
Sounds like some progress is being made - and that your troopers are trying hard to meet

Subject: heads up
Hello Governor,
Sony to bring this to you when you are so busy, but you should have a heads-up. Our correctional Officer union
ACOA is rearing up again. They have orchestrated a "vote of no confidence" against me over two primary
concerns. First, reductions in staffing and second, employee discipline. They have been in and talked to Randy
and Mike Nizich. Their main complaint to Randy and Mike was that they couldn't get a meeting with me, so the
next day we offered a meeting. They responded that they have no interest in meeting with me and they would
meet with Nizich any time he wanted to talk. They suggested the 23 rd because they are going to tally the votes on
the 21 st , and they intimated that they may call the media after the count By now you have seen the letter I sent to
all staff today and it clearly dispels the reduction in staffing notion. As far as discipline, last year was one of
reform. 49 internal investigations, 26 of which resulted in discipline and 4 ended in termination. (Additionally, 2
more quit in lieu of termination, and 2 quit during investigations for their own reasons). Our reports of misconduct
slowed in October and we have no new investigations pending now. Even though things are relatively quiet now,
the union made their threats in the thick of things last year and they can't un-ring the bell. We've worked closely
with Admin throughout and we feel confident that our actions are justified and I believe our message is received.
The business of human confinement is not conducive to unsafe worksite practices. To this end, our response will
be centered around the fact that we are proud to stand with the professionals who had faith in us and reported
unsafe worksite acts. I just heard that Mike and Randy will be available to brief you further so I don't have to make
this e mail any longer. I've sent Janice my schedule for the next couple of weeks, my time is yours if you'd like to
see me.
Thanx Governor

Our supporting members are just as important as the active ones. We read the list often and knowing 144 sisters

is one of the sisters values too and is the reason we ha the topic on the first session. Thank you for your words.

Well Sis,
It's good to know that you could step forward for the ANS it is a wonderful organization. I wish I had
more time time to commit but at my age I am lucky to have a good job. It gives me a positive feeling
to be able to work with troubled youth. My hours are swing hours and I can't seem to make a meeting
anymore but I want you to know that without the teachings of ANS and ANB I would not have
anything positive to add to anyones life. My heart still has ANB and ANS engraved on it and one day
soon I shall return but for now I am committed to my job. It has always been in my heart to give to
others what I have learned and I have learned not only to love and forgive but to laugh and smile too.
Good job sister.

I am extremely fortunate to have been able to be part of this women's conference and was
could not have done it without the following: Diane Carrier, Sarah Lampe, my brother
William, my sister Laura Sheldon and Myrna Foster. These people are continually stepping
forward to make things happen for others. ANS must be proud of sister Sarah Lampe, Grand
Camp Sargent At Arms who made a trip over to help and who also brought the seal meat that
everyone enjoyed Saturday! I acknowledge President Micalyn Kunz McGhee and her sister
Nelly who were very much a part of this picture; they are true inspiration of what ANS is
all about. Thank you Connie for your continued respect and for checking on items that
needed to be done; you and Emma really shined. I truly love my mom and after hearing her
PRA GSP01 0014702
speak will make more time for this wonderful lady so she can expect visits from me. I am
glad she is up front and personal; you learn from the best. Last but certainly not least I
would like to personally acknowledge President Martin; it is a blessing to be working
under his leadership. His genuine concern and support for Elders, youth, family, ANB/ANS
and Southeast Native Veterans shows his commitment in making our organization a good one.
I apologize for not making it in Saturday but had 9 grandchildren I was caring for. Our
day ended after the free swim for them after 8 PM.
I want to take this time and remind everyone that the last Native Issues Forum is
scheduled for April 9th; Senator Kookesh and Representative Bill Thomas. MC Ron Williams.
Our menu plans include entree items of Roast w/gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cream
style corn, spaghetti w/sauteed onions, green peppers and celery, buttered dinner roll.
Dessert: Cake w/strawberry filling. Pork noodles, bac-o salad, macaroni salad, fruit salad
and hopefully fresh herring egg salad if it arrives in time from Sitka (donated by Central

Southeast Alaska Native Women's Conference that begins today; $25 registration - there are
limited scholarships! I am forwarding you a copy of the wonderful program for the next three
days featuring speakers such as Florence Sheakley, Laird Jones, Ruth Demmert and panel:
Alberta Aspen, Corrine Ragu and Micalyn Kunz McGhee, Iva Graywolf, Healing Ceremony,
and a number of others. Iva will be speaking about suicide prevention. Hopefully our local
Native organizations will allow interested staff to participate in this conference and support
our local ANS Camp 2.
The theme for the conference speaks for itself, "Making a Difference: Knowledge of Our
Mothers keeping our Culture alive". The conference pays tribute in many different and
creative ways; something you don't want to miss out on! Please see the various forms that
come with the packet.
If you know of any person who would be interested in attending this conference please share
the news; we need community support. There is a welcome dinner planned this evening; we
are going to cook: Grilled King Salmon, Roast Pork, rice, buttered corn, salad and a dinner
roll. Dessert too! Come and visit; bring those special people in your life; grandmother, mom;
tell your family! Let's make a difference together.

Subject: SB 59 Gaming/Cabbage Classics...
Hi Governor,
I just had a conversation with Rep. Stoltze to find out his reasons for voting against the charitable gaming bill that
is now before you for consideration. He stressed that his no vote was "a soft no" and that he had a number of
reasons for doing so. He shared that he had sponsored an amendment that had been added to the bill in House
Finance that would have prohibited the currently allowed practice of selling raffle tickets for campaigns. The
Senate rejected this change and the bill was then sent to a conference committee. He fought to stall acton
because he felt strongly about this provision and that raffles should only be for charity. In deference to his friend,
Rep. Johansen, chair of the conference committee, and at the request of Sen. Stevens, he said he finally relented
and allowed for the provision to be removed from the bill. He admitted this provision had nothing to do with the bill
itself, and that he voted against the bill because he was a little mad that he lost this battle.
He told me he was also upset with the AK Broadcasters Assn for their lack of support for other legislation he had
been working on.
His vote, and according to him, the no votes of many other legislators, were protest votes rather than votes
against charitable gaming. He surmised that other no votes (he didn't name anyone) were to project consistency
with their efforts to pass a constitutional amendment against gaming.
Meanwhile today, Russ spoke with Rep. Dahlstrom to get her input. He felt she was pretty adamant that the bill
should be vetoed.
Rep. Stoltze told me that the bill has many good aspects. The provision to allow radio advertising would apply to
raffles only. The intent is that pull tabs and bingos could not be advertised. He envisions that the local hardware
store, at the end of their radio ad would say "and come on in to buy a raffle ticket to support the Alaska High
School skipping team" (My words not Bill's) In his opinion, the increase in payout limits from $1 to $2 million is
inconsequential because most of the payouts are trips and services that don't have a tangible cash value per se.
So here are the options:
You can veto the bill, in which case a transmittal letter will be needed to explain your reasons;
You can allow the bill to become law without your signature, in which case a transmittal letter will be needed to
explain your reasons; or
You can sign the bill quietly and no letter of explanation will be necessary.
Action of some sort on this bill is required by Monday, April 14.
Let me know if you have any questions or if there is additional information I can provide.
Thanks

Janice will get a copy for you tomorrow.
All that being said and aside from the communication issue, we have worked with these
folks: attending the African American Summit, Dan is a member of NAACP; they are reaching

him that we'd have staff at their upcoming scholarship meeting and he didn't even give me

Just learned this afternoon via Angelina's email below that the Alaska Black Leadership
Conference is holding a press conf regarding communication with the administration. I
called my friend, Pastor Davis, and he told me that he heard it is tomorrow.
I called Mayfield and have spoke with him a number of times now. He told me it is about a
letter that the Alaska Black Leadership Conference sent a month ago and he referred me to
Dr. Green. Janice couldn't find it in CTS and I called Dr. Green with Janice conferenced
in. I was pretty adamant and firm with Dr. Green; letting him know that he could have and
should have picked up the phone and called me to find out the status of the letter rather
than hold a press conference. He said they sent it return receipt and that it was signed
for. They also copied legislators and the congressional delegation. I told him that we
didn't have a record and I have never seen it.
We're still researching receipt of the letter and have requested that he fax a copy with
the return receipt. He told me he'd call me in the morning which was encouraging. I'm
hoping that after our conversation, they' 11 change their mind but...
I'm wondering if you want to meet with them again upon your return to Anchorage; I can let
them know and maybe put this off. I'm sure it is along the same lines of the previous
meeting; however I'll know more once I receive the letter.

Good afternoon Kris:
I received a call today from a friend of mine who attended a Minority Task Force Coalition
meeting last Friday. She called to let me know that there were some members of the
African American community who were there that stated that they were going to be staging a
press conference sometime soon taking the Governor to task for not having more minorities
in her Administration.
I know this very same issue had come up in the beginning of the Administration but I
thought you should be aware that there were rumblings once again. I did not attend this
meeting myself, so this is all second hand, but I thought I would give you a heads up just
in case.

Subject: RE: Channel 2 - One week left to go story
As of this morning, there are 119 bills stalled in Senate Finance. Of those 119, 14 bills
or roughly 10% are bills sponsored by Governor Pal in.
1) Of note, HB 111 Business License Fee Reduction has been stalled in (S) FIN for nearly a
year--since May of 2007. Commissioner Notti has talked to Sen Stedman personally onthis
bill and Stedman 1 s response was his agenda was full and he wouldn't be hearing the bill.
PRA GSP01 0014714
When Gov. Palin served as mayor and manager of Alaska's fastest growing city she reduced
the real property tax six years straight, reduced and eventually eliminated the personal
property tax, and eliminated the small business inventory tax and the business license
renewal fee in the City of Wasilla. The governor continues to find ways to reduce and
eliminate burdensome taxes, and protect Alaskans.
The full list of other governor's bills in (S) FIN include:
2) CON Repeal -- Perhaps most important, Gov. Palin' s Alaska Health Care Transparency Act
proposes to provide affordable and quality health-care services for all Alaskans. By
eliminating CON we allow competition, increase choice, and manage rising costs in health
care services provided in Alaska. The public is behind the governor in this effort;
legislators should listen to their constituents on this matter.
3) G.O Bond for the crime lab--the current lab is inadequate to efficiently process
evidence. The new crime lab with serve every PD and AST detachment in the state for
processing evidence for the next 40 yrs. This request is in line with Gov Palin' s
commitment to providing essential public safety services laid out in Article 1 of the
State Constitution.
4) G.O Bonds for transportation projects --this means Dalton Hwy, Parks Hwy, Seward highway
will not be improved, among others.
5) Crime Omnibus bill-- this bill strengthens the Alaska criminal code including
increasing penalties for domestic violence and prosecuting cases within the State that
have already been prosecuted federally including prosecution of public officials.
Divestment from investments in Sudan
6&7)The House and Senate version of the nonunion public employee salary increase are also
pending hearing.
8) Alcohol Penalties and Local Option—this bill increases penalties for liquor license
holders that sell alcohol to minors. Also increases penalties for bootleggers who break
the local option by bringing alcohol into dry communities .
9) Low- income housing/homelessness--this bill creates a fund to address the needs of
Alaska's homelessness and allows assistance to supply affordable housing for our less
privledged. This bill passed out of Sen Fin today!
10) Natl Guard--allows the governor to delegate to the adjutant general the authority to
call up the natl guard, and allows DNR to call on the natl guard to fight fires and pay
them at a range equivalent to emergency firefighters.
11) Teachers/Hlth Care professionals loan--this bill has been in S FIN since February.
This bill would repeal the sunset provision and would make the program permanent within
2
PRAJ3SP01_0014715
AHFC and expands the program to allow more health care professionals to take advantage of
housing loans—it's a way to address the severe shortage of health care professionals in
our state. Since 2003, 373 teachers and nurses have mortgaged their homes at no
additional cost to AHFC or the State,
12) Transportation Fund
13) Operating budget
14) mental health budget

Subject; Your UAA veto, thank you
Governor Palin,
Thank you for vetoing the million dollars for a UAA sports arena last year. Your vote prompted
substantial changes, but there no reason to believe they are any better, and it did not answer my
questions. Why wasn't there a competition among the Architecture students for sighting and
renderings of the proposed new sports arena . No school of Architecture?
Well, isn't a school of Architecture more important than a new sports arena? The UAA has done
very well this season in national basketball rankings without a new sports arena. Second, why
isn't there a College of Petroleum Engineer at the UAA? The oil companies are all
headquartered in Anchorage; there should be a school of pertroleum enginerring in Anchorage.
Governor Palin, why do those who want pursue petroleum engineering or geology have to go to
Fairbanks? When one attends the local SPE meetings, one always hears the engineers
complaining about having been "volunteered" by the oil companies to go to Fairbanks to teach a
class or two.
Why shouldn't the College of Petroleum Engineering in Anchorage be one of the finest in the
Nation? The UAF's school of mining engineering was i n top 5 in the Nation in Territorial days,
now the UAF has closed it. Guess there is no mining in Alaska! Why does the incompetent
UAF run the UAA?
It is not too hard to put together a College of Petroleum Engineering when one knows from
where to assemble the some of top talent who can recruit the others. Isn't a top-flight College
of Petroleum Engineering of more importance to the UAA and Alaska than another sports arena
for the UAA. Shouldn't first things come first?
Why cannot the UAA be allowed to have graduate classes so that the UAA is able to award
advanced degrees? The unwillingness of the UAF to allow the UAA to award advance degrees
costs the UAA, Anchorage and Alaska several hundred million dollars a year in research grants;
why is that allowed to happen? Isn't allowing the UAA to participate research and the
additional hundreds of millions of dollars it will bring to the UAA, Anchorage and Alaska more

Subject: RE: Channel 2 - One week left to go story
As of this morning, there are 119 bills stalled in Senate Finance. Of those 119, 14 bills
or roughly 10% are bills sponsored by Governor Palin.
1) Of note, HB 111 Business License Fee Reduction has been stalled in (S) FIN for nearly a
year--since May of 2007. Commissioner Notti has talked to Sen Stedman personally on this
bill and Stedman' s response was his agenda was full and he wouldn't be hearing the bill.
When Gov. Palin served as mayor and manager of Alaska's fastest growing city she reduced
the real property tax six years straight, reduced and eventually eliminated the personal
property tax, and eliminated the small business inventory tax and the business license
renewal fee in the City of Wasilla. The governor continues to find ways to reduce and
eliminate burdensome taxes, and protect Alaskans.
The full list of other governor's bills in (S) FIN include:
2) CON Repeal -- Perhaps most important, Gov. Palin 's Alaska Health Care Transparency Act
proposes to provide affordable and quality health-care services for all Alaskans. By
eliminating CON we allow competition, increase choice, and manage rising costs in health
care services provided in Alaska. The public is behind the governor in this effort;
legislators should listen to their constituents on .this matter.
1
PRA_GSP01_0014723
3) G.O Bond for the crime lab--the current lab is inadequate to efficiently process
evidence. The new crime lab with serve every PD and AST detachment in the state for
processing evidence for the next 40 yrs. This request is in line with Gov Palin's
commitment to providing essential public safety services laid out in Article 1 of the
State Constitution.
4) G.O Bonds for transportation projects- -this means Dalton Hwy, Parks Hwy, Seward highway
will not be improved, among others.
5) Crime Omnibus bill-- this bill strengthens the Alaska criminal code including
increasing penalties for domestic violence and prosecuting cases within the State that
have already been prosecuted federally including prosecution of public officials.
Divestment from investments in Sudan
6&7}The House and Senate version of the nonunion public employee salary increase are also
pending hearing.
8) Alcohol Penalties and Local Option- -this bill increases penalties for liquor license
holders that sell alcohol to minors. Also increases penalties for bootleggers who break
the local option by bringing alcohol into dry communities.
9) Low- income housing/homelessness--this bill creates a fund to address the needs of
Alaska's homelessness and allows assistance to supply affordable housing for our less
privledged. This bill passed out of Sen Fin today!
10) Natl Guard- -allows the governor to delegate to the adjutant general the authority to
call up the natl guard, and allows DNR to call on the natl guard to fight fires and pay
them at a range equivalent to emergency firefighters.
11) Teachers/Hlth Care professionals loan--this bill has been in S FIN since February.
This bill would repeal the sunset provision and would make the program permanent within
AHFC and expands the program to allow more health care professionals to take advantage of
housing loans--it's a way to address the severe shortage of health care professionals in
our state. Since 2003, 373 teachers and nurses have mortgaged their homes at no
additional cost to AHFC or the State.
12) Transportation Fund
13) Operating budget
14) mental health budget

Also, on the Senator Elton letter regarding AMHS, we should have a response out tomorrow.
We need to politely correct a few assumptions Senator Elton made in his letter (It was a
MEBA union employee who made the mistake) and further explain what occurred and what steps
have been taken to make sure USCG inspections of vessels are properly handled. AMHS is
negotiating with MEBA now to get the job duties associated with USCG inspections back to
management .
Mike Tibbies will probably also be touching base with you about permission to hire Jim
Beedle as the new Deputy Commissioner for AMHS. As I recall his resume, Jim has about 33
years of experience with AMHS. (17 years as a purser, 3-4 years as head of operations,
and the last year or so as the special assistant for AMHS)

Governor ,
Randy Ruaro briefed me on the discussions about airline negotiations and personnel issues.
Deputy Commissioner Klein is an asset to DOT&pf. I have generally discussed the
negotiations and issues with her since she joined the department in February. Moving
forward, I will step up her involvement and seek further input and comments as we continue
the negotiations. My goal is to get the best possible result for the state and fair terms
for all the airlines.
Privileged or Personal Material Redacted
On negotiations with the airlines, I have personally spent countless hours for the last
several months working on the issues with Deputy Commissioner Richards. We have been able
to reach agreement on many of the terms with the airlines. There are a few key open items
we are still working on. These negotiations are particularly hard because the financial
interests of the airlines at the table are directly opposite of some of the airlines not
at the table. For example, Alaska Airlines wants air cargo carriers who do not use the
passenger terminals to pay tens of millions of dollars over the next 23 years for
passenger terminal improvements. Alaska Airlines and the other AAAC members became upset
with DOT when we disclosed this information to all the other airlines. I strongly feel it
would have been unfair to withhold that information. We will continue to be open with
information to all airlines that are affected by these negotiations.
PRA_GSP01J)014728
I will change our negotiating strategy and relieve some of the pressure on Alaska Airlines
and the other members of the AAAC to reach an agreement at our negotiating session later
this month.
I will not declare negotiations at an impasse or send a final and best offer to all the
individual airlines to review and sign until after you and the chief -of-staff have been
fully briefed.
I might add, I believe the next negotiations with the AAAC is going to give me an
indication of the AAAC seriousness about coming to agreement and concluding the
negotiations. We have been at this two (2) years plus and I feel it is time to conclude
these negotiations.
Governor, I assure you that I will continue to be very involved and working hard to
negotiate the best possible terms for the state and fair terms for all the airlines.
If you would like to discuss these issues further, please call me. I am available at your
convenience.
Leo

Subject: Anchorage dock veto, thank you
Governor your veto of the Anchorage dock bonds was more than justified. I
question Mayor Begich, at one of his block parties just after he was first elected,
about his advocacy of the new dock. I asked Begich just exactly what he was
going to put across the new dock that could not be handled by the old dock because
Begich had told the press that all kinds of new things were to use the new dock and
that was one of the reasons for new dock.. Begich admitted nothing.
Begich then stated the reason for the new dock was because of the new container
ships required a larger dock and new cranes. So I went away placated. About 3
months latter there was a short article in the Anchorage News about the largest of
the new containerships had just docked at the old dock. So I called the Captain of
the new container ship and question him extensively about any difficulties he had
docking or unloading. None what so ever! Begich simply lied to the press then
lied to me.
Then there was a discussion on the radio about the dock falling apart during an
earthquake as stated by local well-established major engineering firm. The person
defending the dock said that was not true because one the cells would survive the
earthquake. I thought, for only one portion of the dock to survive when we need all
the dock space possible after an earthquake, is nuts!
10/22/2009
PRAJ3SP01_0Q14733
Page 2 of 2
Now, it is coming out that the users of dock, container ships, did not want the new dock
nor the new cranes for the new ship are designed for roll on roll of off loading and
unloading and not cranes.
Governor. I think the Anchorage dock requires more than a veto; I think it requires a
grand jury investigation not because a crime has been committed but an old fashion grand
jury like we use to have that investigated things and publish reports.
Again, thank you for your veto of the Anchorage port bonds
The Dock cartoon should have been labeled Begich's Boondoggle or better Another Begich
Boondoggle.

MESSAGE:
Dear Governor,
We watched with interest and applauded your scalpel work in vetoing portions of the
supplemental appropriations bill.
There is another area where your oversight is needed and that is the intention of
DOT to double the footprint of Eagle River Loop Rd, in Eagle River.
Nunmerous meetings have been held and the public testimony strongly supports
limiting the scope of improvements by having only one bike trail beside part of the road
and none at all in the extremely steep portion. In addition the residents are in favor of
a lower speed limit on Eagle River Loop Road. After initial hearings DOT agreed at one
point that only one bike trail was needed. (These hearings dragged on for over a year) .
Later however, DOT reverted to the same plan they started with: a sidewalk/bike
trail on BOTH sides of the road from the intersection of Eagle River Loop with the Eagle
River Valley Road to the intersection with the Old Glenn. It would not seem to be cost
effective to build something extra that the residents don ! t want and that will require
additional maintenance throughout the years.
(Please not: It is probable that even one bike trail may be lightly used since part of the
road is extremely steep. Two bike trails are frivolous.
Unlike DOT, Senator Fred Dyson listened to the concerns of the residents and
placed limiting language on the appropriations bill when it went through in order to limit
PRAJ3SP01J)014737
the size of the imprint of the roadway. It is our understanding that the Attorney-
General's Office has advised DOT they can ignore those restrictions. Even if the Attorney
General's opinion is correct and DOT can ignore the language, shoul they?
It is our belief they should not. They should heed the language inserted by
Senator Dyson and to that end we are asking you to intervene.
Thank you for taking the time in your busy schedule to look at this matter.

he relative absence of minorities, women, and persons with disabilities in scientific and engineering study and careers is the
new" American dilemma. Not unlike America's societal dilemma, as postulated by Gunnar Myrdal more than sixty years ago,
lis new dilemma comes from our nation's failure to educate and develop a growing proportion of its potential talent base while
s need for people with skills in science and engineering is escalating.
'lease join top leaders from corporations, foundations, academia, and the government for enlightening and comprehensive

I want you to know I STRONGLY approve of the way you are handling the Budget! Those vetoed
projects have NO business in the Supplemental Budget and should be considered in the
Capital Budget if they are needed at all.
This overall budget is getting WAY OUT OF HAND! * This State can NOT afford to maintain all
these projects after we build them. I am afraid we are going to be in for a REAL shock in
a few years and will have to have numerous taxes to keep the State going. The citizens
cannot afford taxes when we are struggling with the High Cost of Home Heating Oil, High
Electrical Bills, Much higher Food cost etc. I am a retired person who would very much
like to live out my life in this State if I can, I see the State getting all this Oil
money from individuals like me and then spending it on climbing walls etc . what a waste ! ! !
I am for Progress, but it makes me wonder the wisdom of our legislators when I see them in
such a RUSH to spend all this money. They all have an EGO Problem as far as I am
concerned. You are the ONLY ONE there in Juneau with a sense of mind.
Thank You for fighting the battles of the budget while trying to put Alaskans First. You
are the only one who is doing that.

I read on a daliy bases the disagreement between you and our legislators in Juneau
concerning overspending. I encourage you to stand your ground, by trying to add
unnecessary spending to the state budget and justifiying this simply because the oil tax
revenue is flowing freely is poor judgement. When any government body gets carried away
with spending that cannot be justified this leads to a government for more government as

Ted,
This needs to be addressed NOW! There are possibly hundreds of families that participate in this
hunt
I am sure the normal bear baiting regulations are still on the books. They can be re-instated.
This may take some time and money from ADF&G to remedy the situation, but that is the price of
making a mistake.
If the state deckles to have a predator program, and only a predator program for baiting in unit 16, we
all look like hypocrites.
10/22/2009
PRA_GSP01J)014748
Page 2 of 3
The board and department has continuously said "predator management and sport hunting need to be kept
seperate".
This makes the predator control the only option for people wishing to sport hunt over bait.
This will be a news story if we cannot fix it very soon.
It is not an option to wait until July.
Thanks,
Aaron

Aaron thanks for the attached note.
Actually I heard about this unanticipated (at least to me) consequence to the Unit 16 bear control effort. I am
certain the board did not discus or knowingly endorse a provision to eliminate youth hunters in Unit 16. This
board has a clear record of supporting youth hunting not reducing it.
If there is any need to assign blame for this oversight it should fell squarely on the shoulders of the BOG as the
rulemaking body.
I support an effort to address this situation at our earliest convenience. Our next scheduled meeting is July 2,
2008.

years old from hunting over bait stations in Unit 16.
I have a feeling this was done by ADF&G, not the board.
I am confident that the board did not intend to eliminate residents under 16 from hunting over bait
The traditional f sport hunting' bait station permit has been eliminated for resident hunters.
The only option a resident hunter has is to get a Predator control permit.
ADF&G should maintain the normal bear bait registration for residents, as well as have a predator permit.
This is 100% contrary to ADF&G's policy to 'keep predator management and hunting seperate*.
Children under 16 years old are not allowed to participate in the Unit 16 bear predator control program.
The wolf control programs have no age limit, so it makes no sense to have one for bears.
This area has been hunted extensively by families with the use of bait stations for decades.
I have been told it is too late to change this for this year, I don't buy it!
Please take the time to voice your oppinions to ADF&G, your Legislators, and The Governor.
You can find many of their e-mails in the CC line above.

This area has been hunted extensively by families with the use of bait stations for decades.
I have been told it is too late to change this for this year, I don't buy it!

Dear Governor Palin-
I am writing to you requesting your support/assistance on scheduling hb200 to be heard in Senate
Finance. The couple of times that we have spoke with you on this bill you have expressed that you would
support it. It is a much smaller bill than the original draft. We have worked closely with Representative
Dahlstrom and her staff who have been working unremittingly on this legislation.
The 90 day session has us worried, this is our fourth year working this issue and I believe that we have a
piece of legislation that has the potential to pass.
We are 1 of only 9 States that don't have some sort of presumptive legislation for Fire Fighters.
I am planning on being in Juneau Monday through Friday next week if you would like to meet with me.
Thank you for your support, and keep up the great work!
Respectfully submitted,
Jeff Briggs

Ted,
This needs to be addressed NOW! There are possibly hundreds of families that participate in this hunt
I am sure the normal bear baiting regulations are still on the books. They can be re-instated.
This may take some time and money from ADF&G to remedy the situation, but that is the price of making
a mistake.
If the state decides to have a predator program, and only a predator program for baiting in unit 16, we
all look like hypocrites.
The board and department has continuously said "predator management and sport hunting need to be
kept seperate".
This makes the predator control the only option for people wishing to sport hunt over bait.
This will be a news story if we cannot fix it very soon.
It is not an option to wait until July.
Thanks,
Aaron

Aaron thanks for the attached note.
Actually I heard about this unanticipated (at least to me) consequence to the Unit 16 bear control effort. I am
certain the board did not discus or knowingly endorse a provision to eliminate youth hunters in Unit 16. This board
has a clear record of supporting youth hunting not reducing it
If there is any need to assign blame for this oversight it should tali squarely on the shoulders of the BOG as the
rulemaking body.
I support an effort to address this situation at our earliest convenience. Our next scheduled meeting is July 2,
2008.

Hunters,
It has come to my attention that ADF&G or the Board of Game have efectively eliminated Residents under 16
years old from hunting over bait stations in Unit 16.
I have a feeling this was done by ADF&G, not the board.
I am confident that the board did not intend to eliminate residents under 16 from hunting over bait.
The traditional 'sport hunting 1 bait station permit has been eliminated for resident hunters.
The only option a resident hunter has is to get a Predator control permit.
ADF&G should maintain the normal bear bait registration for residents, as well as have a predator permit.
This is 100% contrary to ADF&G's policy to 'keep predator management and hunting seperate'.
Children under 16 years old are not allowed to participate in the Unit 16 bear predator control program.
The woff control programs have no age limit, so it makes no sense to have one for bears.
This area has been hunted extensively by families with the use of bait stations for decades.
I have been told it is too late to change this for this year, I don't buy it!
Please take the time to voice your oppinions to ADF&G, your Legislators, and The Governor.

Well Sis,
It's good to know that you could step forward for the ANS it is a wonderful organization. I wish
I had more time time to commit but at my age I am lucky to have a good job. It gives me a
positive feeling to be able to work with troubled youth. My hours are swing hours and I can't
seem to make a meeting anymore but I want you to know that without the teachings of ANS and
ANB I would not have anything positive to add to anyones life. My heart still has ANB and
ANS engraved on it and one day soon I shall return but for now I am committed to my job. It
has always been in my heart to give to others what I have learned and I have learned not only to
love and forgive but to laugh and smile too. Good job sister.

I am extremely fortunate to have been able to be part of this women's
conference and was could not have done it without the following; Diane
Carrier, Sarah Lampe, my brother William, my sister Laura Sheldon and Myrna
Foster. These people are continually stepping forward to make things happen
for others. ANS must be proud of sister Sarah Lampe, Grand Camp Sargent At
Arms who made a trip over to help and who also brought the seal meat that
everyone enjoyed Saturday! I acknowledge President Micalyn Kunz McGhee and
her sister Nelly who were very much a part of this picture; they are true
inspiration of what ANS is all about Thank you Connie for your continued
respect and for checking on items that needed to be done; you and Emma
really shined. I truly love my mom and after hearing her speak will make
more time for this wonderful lady so she can expect visits from me. I am
glad she is up front and personal; you learn from the best. Last but
certainly not least I would like to personally acknowledge President Martin;
it is a blessing to be working under his leadership. His genuine concern
and support for Elders, youth, family, ANB/ANS and Southeast Native Veterans
shows his commitment in making our organization a good one.
I apologize for not making it in Saturday but had 9 grandchildren I was
caring for. Our day ended after the free swim for them after 8 PM.
I want to take this time and remind everyone that the last Native Issues
Forum is scheduled for April 9th; Senator Kookesh and Representative Bill
Thomas. MC Ron Williams. Our menu plans include entree items of Roast
w/gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cream style corn, spaghetti w/sauteed
onions, green peppers and celery, buttered dinner roll. Dessert: Cake
w/strawberry filling. Pork noodles, bac-o salad, macaroni salad, fruit salad
and hopefully fresh herring egg salad if it arrives in time from Sitka
(donated by Central Council). Thank you!
Thank you.

Governor:
All that's left are a few minor tweaks,
5%, 3%, 3%
3% for achieving an Intermediate Certificate from the Police Standards Council
3.75% for achieving an Advanced Certificate (these do not compound, and a trooper
can go straight for an Advanced without getting an Intermediate). If a trooper already
gets premium pay, he/she makes the choice to receive that premium pay OR the
certificate amount.
Service Steps - as offered to SU.
Article 7 Discipline Language re: egregious behavior including dishonesty
Indemnification Language that Risk Management 8s Law worked on
We believe the PSEA membership will support the agreement and will post a media
announcement tomorrow when the deal is finalized. Well be sending monetary terms
to the Legislature by tomorrow. Karen Rehfeld has been notified.
We will not reach agreement with two of the three maritime unions: MEBA and
MM&P prior to the end of the legislative session. AVTECTA (Seward Vo-Tech Center)
has not yet ratified its contract, nor has Inland Boatmens* Union (IBU).

Word out of DC has it as BP and Conoco going ahead with the pipeline project. It's third-
hand, but the person I spoke to said that the announcement will be that they are going
ahead on their own without the State. When I asked whether it's a commitment to build or
just a commitment to spend additional funds, they demurred.
Also, it sounds like the congressional delegation is going to take the credit...

to you, and learning about you, well I joined the rest of most of the folks in Alaska and
voted for you. I'm glad I did. I know they are too. You have done more for this state than
anyone else since Jay Hammond. I hope you realize what you have helped accomplish for
Alaska. I think you do. I just want to thank you for myself, and future generations of

I heard on the news that Cliff Judkins of the Board of Game wants to protect the wildlife

we are protecting the wildlife from. Ultimately, the protection is from people. This is
already being done by the BLM and the State of AK by limiting access into these areas.
I use this area every fall for my annual moose hunt. I suggest that the area is alread
adequalty "protected" and access is already limited beyond reason. Please resist any
efforts' to close these areas to sportsman. In fact, I feel it would betters serve the
citezens to open more of these areas to off road use.

Hello Governor,
Sorry to bring this to you when you are so busy, but you should have a heads-up. Our correctional Officer union
ACOA is rearing up again. They have orchestrated a "vote of no confidence" against me over two primary concerns.
First, reductions in staffing and second, employee discipline. They have been in and talked to Randy and Mike
Nizich. Their main complaint to Randy and Mike was that they couldn't get a meeting with me, so the next day we
offered a meeting. They responded that they have no interest in meeting with me and they would meet with Nizich
any time he wanted to talk. They suggested the 23rd because they are going to tally the votes on the 2 1st, and they
intimated that they may call the media after the count. By now you have seen the letter I sent to all staff today and it
clearly dispels the reduction in staffing notion. As far as discipline, last year was one of reform. 49 internal
investigations, 26 of which resulted in discipline and 4 ended in termination. (Additionally, 2 more quit in lieu of
termination, and 2 quit during investigations for their own reasons). Our reports of misconduct slowed in October
and we have no new investigations pending now. Even though things are relatively quiet now, the union made their

Subject: AGIA
Privileged or Personal Material Redacted
One of the few House members to vote against the resolution, Minority Leader Beth Kerttula, D-
Juneau, charged Monday that some lawmakers were using the resolution to try to derail the
AGIA process.
"I've seen a lot of aspersions and demagoguery and confusion and subterfuge used in the last
week," she said at a news conference. "My protest vote was to say, 6 We're not going to let this
get derailed 5 — at least I'm not going to."
Kerttula refused to give names but said later she thought there were lawmakers who wanted the
AGIA process to fail and were using the resolution as a "smokescreen " She said she was

MESSAGE :
Dear Governor Palin,
My name is Joanne Casqueira, I've lived in Ak for almost 30 years. I raised 4 children in
the small town of Big Lake.
Now my youngest Alexander (20 years old) is a proud member of the U.S. Marine Corp. He
has already been to Iraq once and is being sent back again, we are all very proud of him!
Unfortunaly, he call me today from Camp Pennelton to see if I could start some sort of
"Fund-raising" for him and his troops.
He told me they do not have the proper equipment to fight and stay alive. This broke my
heart, so I started calling every buisness in Wasilla asking for their help, Wal-Mart, Fred
Meyers, H&R Block, Sears even the Geat Alaska Pizza Company.
Most seem willing to help.
I have set up a account for Alex and his troop through a company based in Ca. called
"Combact Ready" in San Clemente.Ca. (949)276-2333, Travis Box or Collin Owens are in
charge. Please, if you can help me, help all the young men and women who fight for us and
would die for us while asking nothing in return I would be forever grateful. As Alaskan's
we need to join together to make sure these brave soldiers have EXACTLY what they need to
do their job, that WE sent them there to do. Please Governor Palin, just take one moment
to call Travis Box or Collin Owens @ (949)276-2333 and they can tell what and why OUR
children need Alaskans to pull together and help.
PRA GSP01 0014797
How sad my son a "Lance Corporal" of the U.S.M.C. had to call his Mother for help, for
proper "gear"
Thank- You Joanne Casqueira

FIGHTING F O H Y O U R B S i N E S S ;
The Paulson Blueprint
By Tom Donohue
Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson recently announced a sweeping plan to
overhaul the rules and structures governing our financial markets. Many of
the Secretary's recommendations were based on ideas the U.S. Chamber
and others have suggested.
Secretary Paulson deserves great credit for moving the debate forward by
proposing a thoughtful and comprehensive plan to modernize and streamline
the financial regulatory structure. Current U.S. financial services regulation is
a patchwork of federal and state regulatory authorities with overlapping
jurisdiction, inconsistent rules, and a hodgepodge of regulatory philosophies.
As new financial services, products, and instruments have emerged,
government has failed to adapt to changing times and is stuck in a system
designed for the economy of the 1 930s.

Subject: RE: AGIA "PR"
Cockerham should be ashamed. I do not know how he learned about it.
His first foul was was an implication that we are cherry-picking out of state. "The contract for "AGIA
communications consultant services" is not being publicly bid." The DNR procurement officer (not
me) researched in-state firms and sent notifications to the top three, as well as one out-of-state firm.
His second foul is to try to spin negatively our need for yet another consultant to add to the slew of them
we already have. Here is the last email I sent him, on 4/3, after he indicated to me that he thought it
sounded like we were hiring a "PR firm":
"Sean,
A "PR firm" is hired to actually spread information, widely, to the public to gain public awareness, to
promote a story. By contrast, a "communications consultant" would provide us expertise and guidance on
who and how to alert media outlets about a story (should there be one), to give media the opportunity to
pick up the story if it is compelling, whereupon the story is carried under its own momentum; the latter
does not contemplate the need for anybody to "push" the story, but rather to alert media to the existence
of the story, allowing them to decide whether to pursue it. This distinction is very important, since we are
not interested in paying anybody to advertize or promote our Findings decisions to the public."
Third, he failed to pick up on a point I was clear and emppatic about, which is that we are only doing this
because when Kurt and I travel around the country, it has been shocking to us how little people know
about our project, and what it could do for America. Clearly, I told him, we need an expert to help us
reach media who can help us help the nation. This would have been an obvious rejoinder to the Hawker
garbage. But Sean elected not to carry that quote.
Just got Kurt's email. Yes, happy to join a call to Sean.

I'm happy to talk to Sean about this. It appears to me that he's deliberately played up the PR angle in
spite of our abundance of caution in discussing the outreach effort with him. Bruce and I repeatedly
explained to him the difference between hiring an expert in communications and launching a PR
campaign, including the use of examples. I'm very disappointed in Sean and the ADN, It's clear that
Sean was intent on using the term PR despite its inaccuracy.
Sharon, Bruce - the gasline communications team should contact Sean this morning and express our

Hi Governor,
You had asked for a visual representation of the per capita budget appropriations of the House Finance CS. I got
with Andy and he worked up a really great Alaska map and punched in the numbers I gave him. He tells me that it
takes about 2 hours to have it printed so we'll want to make sure we can get the timing right so you have it for use
in a press conference before the bill hits the House floor (I'm assuming this is the reason for your request).
I've attached the graph but I don't know if you can view it from your Blackberry. We're in a bit of a holding pattern
here at the office right now and I'd be happy to run a paper copy over to you at the House if you'd like.
Please let me know what you decide.

Subject: Guardian Flight Press Release
Guardian Flight Inc. is pleased to announce the introduction of a civilian helicopter EMS program to Interior Alaska. With the
US Army MAST helicopter program set to depart permanently on July 1 , emergency services in the interior are faced with
an enormous void in their ability to locate and rescue the ill and injured. Guardian Flight, the largest, most experienced and
only CAMTS accredited critical care air ambulance based in the interior, will be providing the medical infrastructure as well
as highly trained medical specialists to staff a helicopter provided by Air Logistics, a vendor with its own long history of
Interior service.
Since the 1970's. the MAST program has provided the vast interior of Alaska with superior helicopter air medical sen/ices,

searching for and rescuing lost hikers, victims of remote ATV and plane crashes, as well as those injured in motor vehicle
collisions on remote highways. With extraordinarily skilled flight crews and the singular capabilities of the Blackhawk
helicopter, both residents of, and visitors to the interior could always count on MAST to provide help from above when the
chips were down.
However, with MASTs announcement of their planned departure, the interior of Alaska was left scrambling for an
alternative. There were no easy answers since MAST has provided the backbone of the Troopers search and rescue
capabilities in addition to providing medevac services for their own military personnel. And virtually ail of the individual EMS
groups in the interior have benefited in the past as well.
"We will require the support of the state, the military, local EMS, as well as the community at large to make this a viable
entity" says Guardian Flight's owner and president Dr. Eric Stirling. 'The costs of a helicopter program are otherwise
prohibitive. But with adequate support, we feel that we can provide a significant majority of the services currently performed
by MAST."
Scott Kawasaki, state representative from Fairbanks has taken an active role in garnering governmental support for the
forthcoming program. With a past that has included working in the emergency department at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital/
Scott has a unique appreciation for the interior's emergency medical needs. "IVe met with Scott and he has been nothing
but supportive and helpful" says Dr. Marc Dumas, the new program's medical director and former civilian medical director of
MAST. "We're hoping that the state will be able to step up to the plate and provide some significant degree of support With
Scott on our side, we're that much closer."
Guardian Flight has been providing fixed-wing critical care air ambulance services to the interior for more than 10 years. Air
Logistics of Alaska, a Bristow company, entered the Alaska market in 1977. Air Log's core business is helicopter
transportation services targeted to Alaska's oil and gas and related support industries. This will be their first foray into the
medevac arena in Alaska.

Hi Frank:
Hey, just wanted to thank you for getting Mike to write this piece. Nice to see this sentiment voiced once in
awhile. I lived in Homer, too, for 17 years, and can concur with his view of this. And I sometimes wonder how
much the public really knows or approves of, when it comes to state spending, other than what they ultimately
read in the papers.

'Fluffy stuff should be determined by the voters
Senator Bert Stedman In Juneau has been defending his proposed district projects and fighting
with the governor over her veto threats. In the newspaper he says: "I can defend and justify
every project in that district. You'll see there is no fluffy stuff."
Stedman's words reflect part of a problem with public spending, and Homer residents may have
provided a suitable response with their recent vote on a bond issue.
Legislators are the focal point for projects originated by municipalities and other interest groups.
8/26/2009
PRA GSP01 0014815
Clear Day
Page 2 of 2
Certainly these groups don't see their projects as "fluffy stuff/ nor do we expect them to since
these projects often make it onto CIP wish lists of a city or borough. But that may not be
sufficient proof of public need or community support.
In Homer this last month, by a 2-1 margin, voters rejected an $8 million bond for a new city hall
and town center. This project had support of the Legislature, university, city government and
several interest groups, stretching back many years.
The Homer vote can be instructive for us. Often times the very people who bring projects forward
for public funding have not measured the will of the people. The fact that an interest group or
local government has a decent purpose in mind is not adequate reason to hold the public treasury
hostage or badger people into spending it.
It may be difficult to see why a governor might personally agree with and support the public
purpose of a project „ and yet find reason to disapprove spending public money on it. It is simply
because the governor is not elected to impose their personal preferences upon the public or hand
out some yearly allowance to well-behaved children. People expect the governor to apply a
consistent and defensible approach for measuring public need prior to spending public money.
To the extent that election of a governor reflects the will of the people „ so then must the
people's will be reflected in the veto pen of the governor.

Subject: SB 59
Russ,
As you know I met with Gold Cache Bingo, Anchorage Bucs and the Independent Blind groups today. All entities
are non-profits impacted by charitable gaming; relying on raffles and pull-tabs for revenue. They wanted to
express their support for SB 59. In their opinion it doesn't expand gambling; it increases the threshold from $1
million to $2 million which they say hasn't been increased since at least 1987. They said that because there
hasn't been an increase, with inflation and the increased cost of doing business, they are actually losing money in
some cases. This bill provides for inflation proofing.
Asidejfrom the increase and th e allowance of the cabbage classic, I'm not overly familiar with all the details of the
bill.

Dear Legislators,
I am contacting you to encourage your vote to confirm Brenda Rabner's appointment to
the Big Game Commercial Services Board. At our recent board meeting in Fairbanks Brenda
was seated beside me giving me an opportunity to interact with her about Guided, Sport and
Subsistence hunting. I was impressed with how quickly she understood the issues the board
was addressing and I believe she will bring a very valuable view to the board.
Some of you have no doubt heard how well the BGCSB members have worked together. Brenda
Rabner will be a strong voice for the large Private Landowners in the State and also work
well with the existing board members.
Please vote yes to confirm Brenda 1 s appointment.
Thank You, Richard Rohrer (Dick)

Governor ,
I really appreciate those words of encouragement ... and your support for the move
I still regret how it came out... and wish I had had the opportunity to explain our
reasoning for being interested in the move. . .before you heard from John. I thought we had
all been clear on the plan to wait, internally, but I also understand John's desire to
quickly move things along and solidify his team.
Suffice to say, Ellen and I are interested in the move for a variety of reasons, and not
the least of which is that my entire family is on the East Coast. My mother is moving
soon from N.H. and will be only a short trip north of D.C. It gives me the opportunity to
serve Alaska and still be within short trips of my rather large family (Gus and Joshua
have 17 cousins), We f ve missed them very much.
Thank you again for your understanding about the mix-up on communications, and for your
support of this decision. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to serve this office
and this state that has been so good to me and my family. It will be an honor to continue
that service in our nation's capital.

Hi Governor,
You had asked for a visual representation of the per capita budget appropriations of the
House Finance CS. I got with Andy and he worked up a really great Alaska map and punched
in the numbers I gave him. He tells me that it takes about 2 hours to have it printed so
we'll want to make sure we can get the timing right so you have it for use in a press
conference before the bill hits the House floor (I'm assuming this is the reason for your
request) .
I've attached the graph but I don't know if you can view it from your Blackberry. We're in
a bit of a holding pattern here at the office right now and I'd be happy to run a paper
copy over to you at the House if you'd like.
Please let me know what you decide.

and sharing attempt to help in the history of building a great country state like Alaska where our
fathers and mothers came to be a more free people, an honest people, with a government by, for
and of the people !
I. realize I am unworthy of this attempt to remind you all of your absence from your obligation to
your people; given your great lineages of contributions to AJaskas history...
But it seems to me that most great societies failed without being connected to their citizens
accountability I never saw a great battle or struggle fought between good and evil without the
heroes being in the midst of the battle with their people...in the frey..
Respectfully,
One only and lonely Alaskan citizen who misses being able to so readily give our great
leaders a hard time because they are working so hard, so far, far away, in a really neat, pretty,
warm, friendly ,distant, unaccessable, remote, little tourist town with the .05% of the creme de la
creme aristocracy; While i SLOG back and forth, to and fro from my humble abode to the LIO
only to no avail, again and again the ability to humbely contribute to my community of the Great
State of Alaska and Our Great Leaders quest to find justice and better society for us all...

Len,
Alaska Dept of Fish & Game sent out the following announcement yesterday. Please see the attached
document
You will note that these new regulations will affect the fishing trip you have scheduled for your big
group of Southwest Airlines Pilots you've scheduled for August 12th and 13th. Your schedu led fishing
trio falls Into the time frame thatADFG has chosen to prohibit the retention of all King
Salmon less than 48 Inches in length In the Juneau area.
This ADFG announcement even eliminates the retention of King Salmon under 48" d uring our 62nd
annual Golden North Salmon Derby, (scheduled for Aug 8th, 9th and 10th as I mentioned to you earlier).
I sincerely regret having to inform you of this situation, and was looking forward to showing your group
of Pilots a good time fishing here in Juneau, as we have done many times over the past years, but I am
letting you know about this as soon as I have learned, so you can decide if this action will mean a change
in your groups plans for this yean
I have included the fax numbers and email address for both the Alaska Governor's Chief of staff, Mike
Tibbies, and the Commissioner of Fish & Game, Denby Lloyd. I would hope that you or your group would
contact them and express your thoughts regarding this. Or you can access the State's web site at
www.state.ak.us and find any other individual's that you would like to send an email to.
Mike Tibbies, fax: 907-465-3532 oovernori&alaska.aov

Stefan Milkowski just stopped me in the stairwell and asked me if you had worked out an agreement with
the legislature on overall spending. I told him about the meeting this morning (with the presiding officers
and finance co-chairs), which was cordial, and that I was not aware of any agreement on spending levels.
He asked about legislation, also. I told him that you were firm on your CON stance and were adamant
about getting another hearing in H FIN (I've been to Meyer's office again today asking for a hearing).
I told him you were frustrated with the fact that HB 1 1 1 , Business License Fee, hasn't been heard in S
FIN and that Sen. Stedman is apparently unaffected by concerns over this bill being held. We also talked
about HB 106, Studded Tire Fee Repeal, which passed the House today by a 39-0 vote, and promptly got
TWO referrals in the Senate (TRANS, FIN). I explained to Stefan that I've already asked Sen. Kookesh
(S TRANS chair) to see if the bill could get waived out of his committee. Sen. Kookesh agreed and
hopefully that will get done quickly, which means the bill will get in line in S FIN.
The other bill in S FIN we have concern over is HB 325, Teachers/Health Care Professionals Housing
Loan, but Bryan Butcher, AHFC, says that bill will get heard. He's been assured. That said, we'll keep on
it.

1. CONGRESSIONAL E-WASTE PLAN DRAWS IRE FROM MANY
CORNERS
A legislative blueprint for e-waste regulation, detailed in a concept
paper, is drawing ire from many corners including the EPA, states,
industry and environmental groups, each with an axe to grind. The
concept paper was crafted by staff working for lawmakers who are
members of an informal, bipartisan e-waste working group. The plan
calls for a new e-waste subtitle of the Resource Conservation & Recovery
Act (RCRA). It would ban landfilling of recyclable e-wastes, regulate it as
a new category of waste while exempting it from current rules governing
solid and hazardous waste; require EPA to set minimum standards for
new state programs while grandfathering existing state programs; and
require increased notifications and consent from receiving countries for
e-waste exports. Among those critical of the measure is the Consumer
Electronics Association which calls it unfair and unbalanced by placing
financial responsibility on the industry for recycling its products. They
cite surveys that show take-back fees would not be effective.. .Read

2. NEW YORK CITY MAYOR BLOOMBERG SIGNS E-WASTE BILL
As expected, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg signed into law a
bill that requires manufacturers of computers, televisions and other
electronic equipment to establish recycling programs for those products
in the city and to dispose of them in an environmentally sound manner.
A second part of the bill, to which the Mayor objects, would further
require manufacturers to meet certain recycling benchmarks and
involves an escalating fee structure. He has said that he would veto this
part of the bill because it disproportionately burdens manufactures
instead of wholesalers whom actually sell directly to the public. Under
the legislation that passed, electronics manufacturers are to develop and
operate programs that could include curbside or neighborhood collection
and returns by mail and in stores. Consumers would be required to
participate, and by 2010 could face a $100 fine for throwing out specific
e-waste. Twelve states have adopted electronic waste laws. New York
City is the first municipality to do so. ..Read More »
3. ADVANCED DISPOSAL ACQUIRES APPALACHIAN WASTE,
EXPANDING INTO NORTH GEORGIA
Jacksonville, Fla.-based Advanced Disposal Services Inc., continuing its
expansion dropout the southeast, recently acquired Blue Ridge, Ga.-
based Appalachian Waste Services LLC and its affiliate Mountain
Convenience Center Properties LLC. Terms of the deal were not
disclosed. The acquisition adds landfill capacity and opens markets in the
north Georgia and North Carolina. It is the second deal for Advanced
Disposal in little over a month. In late February, they purchased the
hauling and recycling operations including a construction debris landfill
from Waste Services Inc. for $57.5 million. Advanced Disposal, which
itself is a unit of AIG Highstar, already owns and operates waste

5. COMPANY TO PRODUCE SYNTHETIC JET FUEL FROM GARBAGE
A Los Angeles-based synthetic fuel developer, Rentech, Inc. is expanding
an initiative to produce synthetic biofueis including jet fuel from
municipal solid waste (MSW). The company has developed a clean-
energy technology that converts ordinary MSW into ultra-clean,
biodegradable jet fuel, potentially meeting the needs of local airports
and communities. Virgin Airlines successfully demonstrated the use of
biofueis derived from coconut and Brazilian babassu nuts in a
commercial airliner during a recent test flight from London to
Amsterdam. According to Richard Penning, EVP of Commercial Affairs for
Rentech, "We believe our technology's ability to convert non-food
feedstock such as MSW into biofueis provides the aviation industry with
an excellent opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint. Large cities with
busy airports and decreasing landfill space are ideal areas for us to offer
this solution. "..Read More »

Alaska Airlines Spent $500,000 Lobbying Federal Government on FAA Funding in
2007
March 12, 2008: 03:53 PM EST
NEW YORK (Associated Press) - Alaska Airlines spent $500,000 to lobby the federal
government in 2007, according to a disclosure form.
The company lobbied on legislation dealing with funding for the Federal Aviation
Administration and the retirement age for pilots, according to the form posted online Feb,
14 by the Senate 1 s public records office.
The airline, which is owned by Seattle-based Alaska Air Group Inc., spent $280,000 in the
second half of 2007 to lobby on those issues.
The general aviation industry and commercial airlines disagree over how much each should
have to pay for upgrading the nation's air traffic control system and other aviation
programs. Congress last month approved a temporary measure to continue FAA funding through
June, but the larger issue of reauthorizing the agency is unresolved.
The House passed a bill in September that would have increased the jet-fuel tax for
1
PRA_GSP01J)014857
noncommercial planes, the aviation gasoline tax and the cap on fees airports charge
passengers for capital improvements . Commercial airlines and the Bush administration say
the bill does not fairly link fees to system use. The Senate is working on similar
legislation*
Elsewhere, President Bush in December signed a bill to raise by five years the mandatory
retirement age for airline pilots to 65.
Besides Congress, Alaska Airlines lobbied the departments of Homeland Security and
Transportation.
Lobbyists are required to disclose activities that could influence members of the
executive and legislative branches, under a federal law enacted in 1995.

Subject: Racism on the Radio
I'm forwarding you an email I received from Nancy Barnes, assistant to Senator Al Kookesh,
as part of a mass e-mailing.
The chain started with Michelle Davis, an Anchorage woman, who was outraged by QJ banter
on KFBX 100.5, the Fox - that was a dig at Alaska Native women.
I think it's something you should be aware of.
Dear ADN;
I am writing to tell you about an extraordinarily insulting comment that was said on Fox Radio, 1 00.5
this morning. As I was driving to work, I stopped channel surfing long enough to listen to some light
banter between the morning hosts, Woody and Wilcox. They were testing callers to see what true crime
incident actually happened in Florida. The talk turned to the weather and real Alaskans. Then one DJ
asked this question, on the air, "Have you made love to the Yukon River and peed in a Native
woman? " That is one of the ugliest things I have ever heard.
The DJ was taking that old, insulting line about someone only being a real Alaskan if they'd peed in the
Yukon River, made love to a Native woman, killed a bear etc, etc. When I grew up, the phrases used to
describe Native women in that chestnut were as bad as the N word They used klootch, squaw, and so
on. This DJ managed to take what was already degrading and insulting and make it infinitely worse.
I have complained to the Station Manager, and also filed with the FCC. To me, this was hate speech,
and the public should have an opportunity speak against it There is so much violence against Native
women that goes unpunished. Let's try an experiment. I'd like you to say "Have you made love to the
Yukon River and peed in a Native woman." Let the true ugliness brought up by Ihose words be in your
mind for a minute. Then, consider if someone said that about your sistor 9 mother, wife or fiiend. Please,
don't tolerate this and don't let it go by without being held up to the light.
Regards,
Michelle Davis
Anchorage
I'll spare you the full chain of subsequent e-mails. But here's an excerpt from one of them.
Estelle Thompson Hale, who's from the Bristol Bay region, writes:
"This blatant, deliberate and unvarnished type of hatred against Native people has to stop. It's not just
these particular DJ's either. This type of discrimination and racial hate perpetuation happens on other
radio stations as well. If you ever hstQn to Dan Fagan, who has got his own show on AM 750 from 2-

5pm, M-F, or "Don Megga" on 101.3 KGOT, you know what I'm talking about The degree of
discrimination varies, but it is there nonetheless. The remarks tend to be about Natives being drunk,
being lazy, or other misconceptions or generalizations about Native people."
The Obama candidacy has triggered a national dialogue on race - that's having an impact
here on the Alaska Native community.
The "racial" issue is on people's minds - as you were quick to pick up on — at the Tom Stewart
memorial... this sense, that as a state, we want to take the moral high ground - to show
respect by incorporating Native culture in a redesign of the state seal.
You and Todd are in the unique position to take leadership here. And seem to be doing so, by
asking Alaskans to aspire to more, to be more Inclusive.
And while we're on the topic of inclusiveness. ...
I've been emailing Julie Kitka at AFN, and she was very positive about your ANCSA CEO
meeting. She said "inclusion" is so important - and that so often, Native leaders are not
"included," so your gesture meant a lot. Julie was very happy about the hospitality you and
Todd extended to the CEO's.
Just one more quick note. I did leave a message with the FOX station's program director,
known as "Crash," requesting more information about what was actually said. I'm hoping it's
not true - that there's some misunderstanding.
I have not heard back, but Representative Mary Nelson's office did hear from "Crash," who
apologized for the banter.
I hope this email gives you a feel for the general climate, when it comes to race issues in
Alaska. No doubt about it. They're heating up.
Thanks,
Rhonda

Why isn't our budget surplus being used to fund a bid to host either a
Summer or Winter Olympics?
This is Alaska. We are an obvious choice for a Winter Olympics.
For Summer Olympics, we have several ideal locations throughout (he
state. For example, Fairbanks often has temperatures in the 80s and 90s
during the summer. Even an unsuccessful bid for Summer Olympics would
help dispel some of the myths that our state is snow-covered year-round,
and that we all live in igloos.
Hosting the Olympics would:
-Bring jobs to the state in the form of construction of new
infrastructure, and for staffing the Olympics itself
-Bring more money to the state, in the form of federal aid for new
infrastructure, and in the form of tourism dollars from spectators
-Share Alaska with the world through media coverage, increasing our
national and international standing.

According to the w News-Miner, " the Board of Game has requested that the Amphitheater
Mountains be made a "wildlife refuge." Please don't. I am neither a miner nor a hunter. I
do frequently use that area for winter recreation. There is no need to turn the
Amphitheater Mountains into a wildlife refuge. To do so would almost certainly curtail all
other uses. The board of game is being narrow and parochial.

MESSAGE :
To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Willie D. Stacey of Bay Minette, Alabama. I am a soldier in the U.S. Army and
am currently stationed at Fort Richardson, Alaska. I am writing this letter in reference
to my military service and your assistance in furthering that service.
On June 30, 2007, I was a Specialist assigned to the 164th Military Police Company when an
incident occurred that jeopardizes my military career. While attending a social function
with a group of fellow soldiers in my unit, I became highly intoxicated. Members of our
party chopped down a tree while yelling racially motivated terms and the incident was
recorded on video by another member of the party. Later in the evening, while canoeing on
a lake, the boat capsized and tragically a member of our party, Specialist Corey Burgess,
succumbed to the extremely cold water drowned. A subsequent investigation by the Army
found the video related to the incident. I have since received non- judicial punishment in
the form of a field grade Article 15, reduction in grade/rank to E-1/private, reduction in
pay, extra duty, bar to reenlistment, possible revocation of my security clearance, and
because of my involvement I missed my unit's deployment to Iraq this past summer.
Additionally, I live with t
he memory of watching my best friend and combat buddy's body be retrieved from the frigid
lake in which he drowned.
I accept full responsibility for my actions the punishments I've received as a result. I
1
PRAJ3SP01J)014872
was wrong.
As previously mentioned, I am a military policeman. Prior to that event I'd served
honorably in the Military Police Corps for 3 M years and upheld the highest standards set
forth by my command. I am a combat veteran and a proven asset to the Military Police Corps
and the Army, I've served in Afghanistan and received an Army Commendation Medal for
heroism under fire, I've also received other medals for actions in combat and the
training that I've given to soldiers. I've led four soldiers after being promoted to.
Specialist and was up for promotion to Sergeant.
I am currently married to my beautiful wife, Stephanie, and we have two daughters, Angel
(6yrs) and Katelyn (5 months) . My wife is a fully supportive military spouse and actively
participates in activities promoting the Army lifestyle.
I am a good soldier who has made a major mistake for which I have been punished. I deeply
regret the events of that night and the lapse of judgment that I displayed. Aside from my
family, serving my country as a Military Policeman has been the greatest and most
fulfilling experience in my life. I would like nothing more than to continue serving my
country by reenlisting. I have definitely learned my lesson and feel strongly that I am a
great asset to the Army and the Military Police Corps. Given my current rank and using my
leadership abilities, I will assist in molding the newest members to the Army into trained
Warriors. Given my situation, I will offer guidance to young soldiers and share my
experiences which can help prevent soldiers from making the same mistakes. If given the
opportunity, I will demonstrate that I am a humbled and rehabilitated soldier who can
effectively rebound from mistakes made.
I am asking for your assistance in lifting my bar to reenlistment so that I can attempt to
right my wrongs. Should I be afforded the privilege to remain in the Military Police
Corps, I will serve my country, the Army, and the Corps honorably and lead others in doing
the same.
Sincerely,
Willie D. Stacey

Dear Governor Palin
I am writing to request your assistance. I have been a member of the Alaska Air
National Guard since 1999. In 2005, after 6 years of service, I reenlisted in the Air
National Guard and was awarded a re-enlistment bonus of $7,500. As a condition of this
bonus I could not accept a commission in the ANG within a year of my reenlistment. In
March of 2006 I interviewed for, and received, an undergraduate pilot training slot, with
the Alaska ANG, for FY 2008.
Because the 168th ARW was undermanned for pilots at the time, my UPT package was
rushed and I was required to receive my commission in September 2006, rather than in FY
2007, as I was originally scheduled. This was 3 months before the deadline for keeping my
reenlistment bonus. I have been instructed that the only way to not have to pay back this
bonus is to have the United States Secretary of Defense excuse my repayment. I have sent
the Secretary a number of letters since January of last year when I was notified of this
situation, however I have not received any response from his office. I am writing to you,
as my Commander in Chief, to see if there is anything that can be done so that I may avoid
the financial hardship that will result from having to repay the initial bonus payment at
this time. Thank you very much for your time.
Sincerely
//SIGNED//

I am contacting you to encourage your vote to confirm Brenda Rabner's
appointment to the Big Game Commercial Services Board. At our recent
board meeting in Fairbanks Brenda was seated beside me giving me an
opportunity to interact with her about Guided, Sport and Subsistence
hunting. I was impressed with how quickly she understood the issues the
board was addressing and I believe she will bring a very valuable view
to the board.
Some of you have no doubt heard how well the BGCSB members have
worked together. Brenda Rabner will be a strong voice for the large
Private Landowners in the State and also work well with the existing
board members.
Please vote yes to confirm Brenda f s appointment.

Handwriting Analysis
By: Barbara Pack O'Meara
Sarah came into the world so fast, at birth, she was like one rapidly sliding down a slide, and she
nearly slid right onto the floor as she gasped her first breath!
Sarah was a devout student of reality. Her youth wasn't spent with fairy tale dreams, she
carefully and maticuously remained focused on anything she did, including washing the dishes!
At the age of sixteen she strolled along an avenue of desire filled with kisses that had no hope of
capturing her heart. She remained ever faithful to her constant life of simply being focused and
finding her niche 1 in life.
Unlike other teens, her social life never took precedence over her family life. Her heart remained
determined to look into the mirror of her self and discover something greater than a night out
with the girls and boys.
When she finally found Mr. Right, he took her on a trip to discover her self and she became
amazed at how perfectly their shadows mingled with the light in their eyes. Love abound and
captured their hearts.
Today, though her life flat lined at one point, Sarah doesn't look to the future for answers, she
stares straight into the eyes of the citizens she represents and asks them what they think.
Sarah Palin is one fine Governor bound for white marbled stairs that lead to determination's seat
where changes are made to better life.

Dear Fellow Alaskan,
With just a few days left in the 25 th Alaska Legislature, the final actions taken by lawmakers
will have a major impact on Alaska and Alaskans. HB 1 1 1, a critical bill which would lower the
Business License Fee, is currently stalled.
The Alaska economy is blessed by people with an entrepreneurial spirit. Business leaders
provide new ideas and develop innovative products and services. By investing in their
businesses, small firm owners make a major contribution to our economy.
The original version of HB1 1 1 that I proposed would have returned the business license fee,
which was increased to $100 under the former administration, to $25. The fee increase has
caused a hardship for those who are helping grow our economy, especially people who
operate home-based and part-time businesses.
The House Finance Committee amended the bill to set the fee at $50 and it sailed through the
House because it makes good business sense, HB 111 is currently stalled in the Senate
Finance Committee. I urge you to contact your senator TODAY and let him or her know that
HB1 1 1 is good for Alaskans, who should not be penalized for stimulating economic growth.
Until next time,
Governor Sarah Palin

Finally, yet another study has shown that intake of omega-3 is vital for the development of vision and
cognitive development in the final three months before a baby is born. A Quebec research study showed
that babies born with higher levels of DHA, a component of Omega-3, in their umbilical cord blood had
higher levels of visual and cognitive development in the first nine months of life. This is another reason
why it is important for pregnant women to eat more seafood.

Kevin Meyer and I went to talk to Bert and Lyman. Kevin has a nice sheet that shows big increases in Bert and
Lyman's districts with the bond bill. A result that just adds more to already heavily funded districts. Bert and
Lyman did not take the House's concern too seriously. It sounds as if Harris will send a stronger message here
on their next break. He wants the Senate to reduce the amount.
Lyman tells me that he has spent a lot of time today working Hollis regarding the predator control bill. The bush
caucus told him that it was a priority and he still is unwilling to schedule the bill. I asked him what would happen if
an amendment was offered to another bill and he said that it would fail - they can not pull a bill from committee.

Subject: the ear
Okay-
I am pretty sure that the Foster fundraising stuff won't make it in the ear. If by chance
it does - we will be in there refuting it . I reminded Sheila of the bill signing in
Foster's office WITH HIS SON. I also told her that Todd called Foster in the hospital. I
told her that the thought of the governor refusing to do anything to help him is sick. She
agreed .
What is definitely going to make it in this weekend is that fact that Tuckerman threatened
Linda Menard! Sheila is not going to contact Tuckerman before it runs. And yes, I am
smiling as I write this. J

We have a great team and that means communicating with the team especially the boss!

Pressure on Tires
Pis cont to put pressure on Kookesh and everyone else on tire tax repeal. Amazing that I
have so few bills that were even introduced the past two years, and they're all good for
AK, but even more amazing is that we're not succeeding with some of these even after
giving up so much to the lawmakers. Seems a lot of actions have been one-way negotiations
where they're winning their projects and bills, but we're still not getting the few and
far-between requests I've had: tire tax, small business fees, CON, predator control, etc.
Are we not pushing hard enough, but instead seeming to cave to their wants?

Governor - I am outlining a budget review plan that will include
legislators, their staff, our OMB staff and state agencies. We will
start as soon as possible. You set the stage for this by meeting with
ALL legislators on the supplemental bill which will help us!
We will not know the timelines until the operating and capital budget
bills are transmitted, but that doesn't prevent us from getting going on
it. There are also a number of bills that will pass in the next few
days that agencies will have to weigh in on and make recommendations to
you .
I've been talking with Mike about my ideas and will put something down
on paper for you consideration. KJR
BTW - Margaret said you were terrific at the AASG meeting at the high
school - they were really thrilled that you signed a bill down there
also I Thanks for doing that! Karen

Yikes- it's frightening reading all the adds in the budget! I tell ya-
the public will not stand for all this. And the construction industry
and economy will not be able to handle all this. Prices will escalate
because no road construction companies, especially, will have to compete
for any work. Scares me to think of all the Outside workers that will
head up here to tackle an over-heated economy, thanks to all govt
spending .
We need to hustle on strategy to allow us to sensibly and fairly
consider all items in this bloated budget. The sooner the better. And
we'll need more people than we had last time as we pare it down. Our
commissioners need to start looking at items that affect their depts and
tell us asap what is absolutely necessary and what can be cut. Thanks
Also- what's the timeline for consideration of items, and deadline for
vetoes?

Margaret was awesome!!! She said if I saw you, to tell you "hi"! Oh man, tugging at a

Let Leo know, especially, he needs to scour construction projects that the local
industry/economy can't handle in one year. We don't want construction prices skyrocketing
because there's too much work proposed and not enough Alaskan companies competitively
bidding on all this crazy, crazy largess. I'll have Mike talk to Click about all this too,
because it's obvious lawmakers haven't considered this in their piling-on and piling-in of
too many projects, too much spending. I am shocked reading of all their additional adds
this morning. They let it get out of control.

Governor ,
Regarding yesterday's event -■- we were going to send out a presser this
morning to get better media coverage. Need to see Andy's photos - we can
attach some, will get it to you in 15-20 minutes.
Sharon tells me we haven 1 t been getting much media coverage out of
pressors on bill signings unless it's something pretty big. We got a bit
of coverage out of the revenue sharing release, for example.

There will be many things we have not been privy to re: budget items hidden within - just
like this PR effort that is so costly and not supported. We have to scour this thing and
I will be cutting items that are not in the state's best interest, and I will need a lot
of help to accomplish this. I'm not sure what good it will do to ask Lyda what her
intention is on this one, she probably doesn't know. And if this is another PacWest-type
PR campaign, all the more reason to eliminate it.
Same applies to additional Arctic Power funds.
Amazing that someone tipped off the ADN reporter to a $10-12 thousand dollar AGIA "PR
contract" and that made front page news, yet something like this, costing that amount, is
thus far hidden within a proposed budget with no public comment?

Yikes- it's frightening reading all the adds in the budget! I tell ya- the public will not
stand for all this. And the construction industry and economy will not be able to handle
all this. Prices will escalate because no road construction companies/ especially, will
have to compete for any work. Scares me to think of all the Outside workers that will head
up here to tackle an over-heated economy, thanks to all govt spending.
PRA GSP01 0014966
We need to hustle on strategy to allow us to sensibly and fairly consider all items in
this bloated budget. The sooner the better. And we'll need more people than we had last
time as we pare it down. Our commissioners need to start looking at items that affect
their depts and tell us asap what is absolutely necessary and what can be cut. Thanks
Also- what's the timeline for consideration of items, and deadline for vetoes?

April 10, 2008
Dear Fellow Alaskan,
With just a few days left in the 25 th Alaska Legislature, the final actions taken by
lawmakers will have a major impact on Alaska and Alaskans. HB 1 1 1 , a critical bill
which would lower the Business License Fee, is currently stalled.
The Alaska economy is blessed by people with an entrepreneurial spirit. Business
leaders provide new ideas and develop innovative products and services. By investing
in their businesses, small firm owners make a major contribution to our economy.
The original version of HB1 1 1 that I proposed would have returned the business license
fee, which was increased to $100 under the former administration, to $25. The fee
increase has caused a hardship for those who are helping grow our economy,
especially people who operate home-based and part-time businesses.
The House Finance Committee amended the bill to set the fee at $50 and it sailed
through the House because it makes good business sense. HB 1 1 1 is currently stalled
in the Senate Finance Committee. I urge you to contact your senator TODAY and let
him or her know that HB1 1 1 is good for Alaskans, who should not be penalized for
stimulating economic growth.
Until next time,
10/22/2009

possible votes (Foster was out due medical for that vote).. .Cowdery was the only Legislator to
vote against it.
Funny, but I can't figure out why he'd be against revealing who gives him cash??

What happens is that folks out here get weary of Government. That is a given. But when it is Government for
Government, they get real weary. The little guy who rea\ly needs it in times of distress gets nothing, only
comments like "private sector can fend for itself. That doesn't leave a real good impression on common hard
working folks that pay their taxes and try to conform to all the rules, regulations and hassles that Govt. Imposes.

Governor Palin,
The next time we have a major breakup on the Kenai River that damages everything on the river, it
would be much more appreciated if:
Instead of flying down the river in an expensive heli ride surveying the damage and filling the coffers of
local government to help them fix the public damage, and announcing that the private sector can suck
it up and eat hay, I suggest a little more compassion for us. We had thousands of dollars in damage
that you can't buy insurance for even if you wanted to. We have no way to be reimbursed. Instead, we
get huge reappraisals of land values that increase our property taxes double.
It cost me alone over 25,000.00 to fix our situation and no help from anyone.
I don't think it is fair. The Govt has an unending supply of monies and can easily raise taxes and do so
I might add to fill any gaps. Then, as a senior citizen they take away half our exemption on property
taxes.
Our kids all went to Cook Inlet Academy and cost no one anything. We are now sending our grand
children there too as the public schools are filled with dope, sex, and bad things. But we still pay out
the nose for taxes.
I really think it is unfair to overlook the Kenai property owner and tell them they can fend for
themselves.
Even this year we had major damage again, though not as bad as last year.
You were really unfair and short sighted to give millions to local govt and short us the ones who really
needed it
Sincerely
Ralph Meloon

Just spoke with Wesley Loy about the special message email. He is going to do a story on this later
this afternoon. I let him know that it is government's job to inform Alaskans on issues that can
have an impact on them. I reiterated that this is nothing new, previous administrations have done
it, lawmakers send out newsletters, agencies send out newsletters to constituents etc etc. I asked
him - what's the difference if the Governor holds a news conference or goes on a radio show to
push what she feels is important? Wesley wants to ask Mike Nizich about what specific examples
from previous administrations. He also wants to know if he can have access to the lists. He is going
to call me later when he starts writing the email story. BTW- he admitted he was a hothead to Mike
last night and apologized.
In the meantime- he is also working on a budget story for tomorrow and wants to know if anyone
wants to comment.

Well, our meeting with Wesley wasn't pretty. We tried. He seems bound and determined to
screw us over. We'll give you the lowdown tomorrow. It was Tibbies, Nizich, Karen, Sharon
and I and everyone did a great job. He's just a weird guy.

Sharon tells me that reporters are inquiring about our thoughts on the
overall spending levels. There's still time to get a statement into
tomorrow's papers, should we choose to go that route. Are you
interested?

Subject: Budget message.
So we'll need to be proactive in our budget message and get out in front
of the critics' message that you know is coming (from the leggies and
our usual critics) : that WE grew the budget unsustainably, due to the
operating budget increases, and that WE have no fiscal discipline. Let's
try not to have to react to what's coming, but get in front with
messaging while explaining increases, including tax credits. And
explaining again our need to reign in their capital spending via
sensible vetoes.
Again though, can we veto anything out of that final operating budget?
