ENERGIES we all need in order to sustain our lives, and a tranquil and orderly and quality of

We find this directive necessary in light of the Most recent event: Global Oil Companies
publicly and officialy notify Alaskans the resources of the state are thiers until they say or agree
that their not/The state drafted a contract in the Global Oil Companies favor....(these are my
interpretations ! pdk)
Gentlemen, and ladies-
The reason we are in this "growing and becoming more unpredictable" energy delima
predicament is because we have not been attending to and are not now attending to our "Life
Essential Energy Needs" design and construction.
The public servants, the corporations, you guys, and us the general citizenry have failed. And,
them, you, and us have failed miserably and undeniably.

An interesting item for the French meeting next week. Holiis's office called Dwayne and said an all day event on
the 27th will take place, starting at 0900 at the Complex, then off to the LIO. the interesting peice is that Marc
Antrim will be there, the wisdom of Antrim is not threatning, but using Antrim in thier investigation is not cool.
Likely the union asked to have him there, and Hollis really can't say no and the staffer telling Dwayne may have
just been a "heads-up". Anyhow, we'll have to talk tomorow and figure out what peramlters we place on the
meeting if any. At this point 1 think we want to |p r iyileged or Pe r sonal Material Redacted

Subject: Tomorrow's Bill Signing and ASM! Welcome
Importance: High
Hi Governor,
I've completed your briefing booklets for your two events tomorrow and will make sure they to you - I'm going
home early due to a massive allergy attack® A few things you should know about tomorrow's events:
1 . Because the bill signing is taking place at Hotel Captain Cook, I did not include a map. You need only to
come in the 4 th Avenue entrance, and Bob will take care of your car. I will be staffing you for this event
2. Rep. Nancy Dahlstrom and Sen. Hollls French will be at the bill signing. Dahlstrom sponsored the bill in
the House, and French carried it through the Senate.
3. Your 12:10 event- the Alaska Seafood Media Institute Welcome -will be very informal. Youwill
participate via videoconference, and participants include: Chef AL-ton Brown; food editor, Kristine Kidd;
and Commissioner Denby Lloyd, along with three staff.
4. I've provided remarks for you in both speech form and in bullets, for your convenience.
5. Chef Alton Brown's first name is pronounced AL - ton. Strong emphasis on AL
Please do not hesitate to email or call if you have any questions. Thanks so much!

Subject: 2009 Capital Budget
Governor,
As you finalize your vetoes of the 2009 Capital budget, I would like to make a pitch for
those items in the capital budget that are for roads and buildings — those appropriations
that employ Alaskan and build something tangible.
As we ramp up to be ready for the construction of the gas line, it is imperative that we
continue all the efforts across the state in workforce development so that we not only
replace the workers retiring for the industry every year, but we increase the number of
Alaskans trained and working in construction.
Essential to this increase in the workforce is an increase every year in the states
capital budget so there are projects and jobs available for those entering the
construction workforce. More workers = more jobs *» more projects - bigger capital budget
PRA GSP01 0018072
Increasing that number of construction jobs every year in anticipation and readiness is
the single most effective thing we can do maximize the benefit of gas line construction
for Alaskans
In Bullet form:
As we put effort into workforce development, we need to have jobs for the
apprentices entering the workplace
Contractors need projects in order to employ the new entries into the workforce.
Presently employers are limited in the number of apprentices they can hire because of the
amount of work there is
We need to steadily increase the States Capital Budget and the amount of
construction projects on the street for the next 6-8 years [at least) to provide an
growing workforce to be ready to jump to the Gas line project in 8-10 years
Will we overheat the economy? NO
I am not concerned about overheating the economy. I am concerned about cooling off the
workforce as we attempt to expand it. We need, a healthy capital budget to be prepared for
the gas line construction to maximize the benefit for Alaskans.
Thank you for your consideration

It's a complicated, ugly case against guide David Haeg
CRAIG MEDRED
OUTDOORS
Published: May 17th, 2008 10:14 PM
Last Modified: May 17th, 2008 11:53 PM
When pilot and big-game guide David Haeg strayed outside the boundaries of a wolf control area near
McGrath in 2004 to slaughter some wolves, there is little doubt he thought he was doing the right thing.
Everyone involved with the wolf-killing program for which the state had permitted Haeg understood the
objective was killing wolves to increase the survival chances for moose.
And even if Haeg and gunner Tony Zellers were technically outside the control' area, they were still
operating within the boundaries of state Game Management Unit 19D, and the state calls these things
"Game Management Units" for a reason.
What were Haeg and Zellers doing anyway but helping to manage the game in Unit 19D?
Unfortunately the state didn't see it that way. Under fire from animal activists upset about the aerial
gunning of wolves, the state saw in Haeg a chance to demonstrate that you can't just let wolf-control run
wild, to spin an old phrase from former Gov. Wally Hickel.
Still, in fairness to the Alaska state troopers and the state attorneys involved, it is near certain they too
thought they were doing the right thing when they busted Haeg.
Everyone agreed Haeg broke the law. He shot nine wolves 20 to 30 miles outside the control area. He
deserved to be punished for that.
Where the issue turned ugly was in deciding what punishment fit the crime. This is the reason the case is
still making its way through the Alaska court system.
The state wanted make an example of David Haeg. It was supposed to be pretty simple:
10/15/2009
PRA GSP01 0018082
Page 2 of 3
They'd bust him. They'd make a big show of it by playing the press like a trophy king salmon, something at which
law enforcement officials in this state are good.
Wolves shot 20 to 30 miles outside the control area became wolves shot up to 80 miles outside the control area.
Haeg was portrayed as a rogue, out-of-controt aerial wolf hunter to make it appear the state was keeping a close
watch on these hunts, which is the biggest fraud in all this.
Haeg was supposed to take the publicity hit, hire a fixer to negotiate a plea deal and then just wait for everything
to fade away.
That's the way these cases usually go down.
Haeg, for his part, played his role properly at the start. He hired a lawyer who specializes in plea-bargaining
wildlife cases. A plea bargain was struck.
And then everything fell apart. Why isn't exactly clear.
State assistant attorney general Andrew Peterson said it was because Haeg didn't want to let the state take his
airplane, a pricey Piper Super Cub specially outfitted for short-field landings.
"He didn't want to give it up," Peterson said.
But it isn't quite that simple.
The state had seized Haeg's airplane early in the investigation. State officials never bothered to tell him he had
the right to protest that seizure and go before a judge to try to get the plane back while his case was adjudicated.
When he finally found out, he got mad.
*
By then, he'd also lost a hunting season with its tens of thousand of dollars in business. He was watching his life
drain away along with his money.
"All they had to do," he told the three, gray-haired judges of the appeals court in mid-May, "was write a little note
on the search warrant 'Mr Haeg, you have the right to appeal if "
Instead, Haeg said, when he asked troopers how and when he might get his plane back, "the trooper told me I
was never going to get my plane back."
Somewhere in there, the now 42-year-old Haeg decided the government - our government - was trying to
railroad him, and he started fighting back. He hired two attorneys. When one seemed more interested in
negotiating deals than battling for his case and the other couldn't do much to stop him from getting convicted, he
got even madder.
He became his own lawyer, a one-man legal aid society cranking out the briefs and appeals. Four years after the
wolf shooting, he is a man obsessed with his case.
But then, we all might be if you consider what happened to Haeg after the plea agreement went bust
The state used what Haeg said in a five-hour, plea-agreement interview to put together a bunch of new charges.
They didn't just go after him for violating the terms of the aerial wolf-control permit. They went after him for the
crime of aerial hunting.
(Haeg makes an interesting argument that someone engaged in state-permitted wolf control isn't "hunting"
because the state, in permitting the aerial gunning, specifically says it isn't hunting.)
The prosecutors saw it differently. To them, it looked like hunting, and they tried to tie it to the game management
unit in which Haeg guides to make it appear he was doing wolf control to further his hunting business.
10/15/2009
PRA GSP01 0018083
Page 3 of 3
A trooper testified that Haeg kilted the wolves in the game management unit where he has his hunting camps, but
eventually recanted that testimony on cross-examination at Haeg's trail.
As Haeg pointed out to the appeals court, however, not even the judge appeared to hear. In taking away Haeg's
guide license, and thus his business, for five years, the judge specifically cited the egregious act of Haeg illegally
killing wolves in the area where he guides - something which just didn't happen.
Haeg gets especially upset about this. He tosses the word "perjury" around a lot.
I don't know what to think about David Haeg. He and some of his friends have e-mailed me repeatedly over the
years to plead his case. He's always sounded a bit paranoid.
He started a Web site to publicly air the case: http://www.alaskastateofcorruption.com . It appears a little paranoid
too » rambling and disjointed. Haeg is not a particularly eloquent man.
He is a big-game guide. He looked different in suit and tie before the appeals court judges in a sterile Anchorage
courtroom, but he was clearly still a guy who would have been a lot more comfortable in the woods.
After his presentation, all by himself, without the aid of any of the attorneys he's come to detest, a lone man
behind a wooden table bucking the system in what he believes to be a fight for what is right, Haeg broke down in
tears.
I knew then even less than when I entered the court room. Some 50 or so people in attendance, though, had a
distinct and communal opinion. After the judges walked out of the chambers, they stood up to applaud Haeg long
and loud.
Poor state attorney Peterson had to sort of slink out of the chambers.
A colleague at the top of the stairway leading to the door, shook his hand - a deserved thank you for arguing
what has come to be a complicated and ugly case.
I was left knowing that I didn't like a lot of what I saw. I felt a little sorry for Haeg. I remember thinking mainly about
the over-used phrase of an old friend: Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.
What Haeg was apparently trying to do in March of 2004 was help the state out with its dirty little business of
manipulating wolf numbers. He got a little carried away, yes, but for that he deserves to lose his business for five
years and his airplane?
If thafs the case, what should be the punishment for those commercial fishermen who on any given day over the
course of the Alaska summer stray outside the boundaries of carefully drawn fishing districts to snatch public
resources worth tens of thousands of dollars?
Haeg wasn't making any money off shooting those wolves.
He was just a poor fool trying to help the state with its stated goal of reducing wolf numbers in the McGrath area.
So far, it appears to have cost him about four years of his life.

2. SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS STATES' RIGHT TO EXEMPT THEIR

The US Supreme Court ruled 7-to-2 that states can continue taxing
interest on out-of-state municipal bonds while exempting interest on their
own bonds without violating the Constitution. The decision is important for
the waste industry particularly with regard to the public financing of waste
processing facilities. In ruling on "Dept. of Revenue of Kentucky v. Davis,"
the high court overturned an appellate court ruling which found
differential tax practices to discriminate against interstate commerce.
Instead, the court said it promotes the financing of essential
governmental services. However, it left the door open to possible future
challenges revolving around private-activity or conduit bonds issued by
governmental entities on behalf of private borrowers... Read More »
3. SILICON VALLEY WANTS CONGRESS TO EXTEND CLEAN
ENERGY CREDITS
Clean energy and tech executives are leaning on Congress to end
deadlock and approve a series of tax credits essential to the solar and
wind industries that are also a growing segment of the Silicon Valley
economy. In a letter to congressional leaders, the Silicon Valley
Leadership Group, TechNet, the National Venture Capital Association and
trade groups for wind and solar warned that the loss of tax credits would
jeopardize $19 billion in clean-tech investment and 116,000 jobs
nationwide. The House and Senate have disagreed over how to pay for a
package of extended tax credits, including an $8.8 billion-a-year research
and development tax credit that expired at the end of 2007. A House
measure to shift tax breaks from oil and gas to renewables failed in the
Senate after fierce opposition from oil companies. Recently, the House
Ways and Means Committee put together a new plan, paid for with
relatively non-controversial methods, including curtailing a deferred
compensation technique used by hedge funds. Their plan would extend
the investment tax credit for solar energy for six years, and the
production energy tax credit for wind for one year. The tax credit for using
energy derived from biomass, geothermal, hydropower, landfill gas and
solid waste would be extended three years. Uncertainty over the credits is
said to be delaying large-scale projects,.. Read More »
4. NEW YORK CITY COUNCIL OVERRIDES MAYOR'S VETO ON E-
WASTE BILL
The New York City Council overrode Mayor Michael Bloomberg 's veto of a
bill that imposes performance standards on manufacturers for the
recovery of electronic waste. Introductory Number 729 requires
electronics manufacturers to take back a minimum of 25% of what they
sell by July 1, 2012. That percentage rises to 65% in 2018. It is the
second part of a measure that was orginally split into two parts so that
the Mayor could sign into law those elements of the law to which he
agreed. The Mayor disagreed with the second measure because in his
view, it disproportionately burdens manufactures instead of wholesalers
whom actually sell directly to the public. The Council passed the bill on
March 26 only to have the Mayor veto it on April 26. The Council overrode
the veto on May 14. However, the Mayor is not expected to implement the
standards.. .Read More »

6. ENERGYSOLUTXONS PRESSES CASE TO IMPORT ITALIAN
NUCLEAR WASTE
Eager to press ahead with plans to import foreign nuclear wastes into
Utah, Salt Lake City-based EnergySolutions Inc. said it would limit the
amount of waste and that it would not Impact domestic capacity.
EnergySolutions has an application pending before the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission to import 20,000 tons of low-level radioactive waste from
Italy. It is the largest import license request for nuclear waste the NRC
has ever received. The proposal has led to widespread opposition in Utah
and other states the waste would travel through. It has also sparked a bill
in Congress that would ban the importation of all low-level radioactive
foreign waste unless it originated here or came from an American military
facility. Sponsors are concerned that imports would diminish much needed
domestic capacity. Company CEO Steve Creamer attempted to allay those
fears in testifying before a House subcommittee on the bill. He said the
intent in importing the waste is to "have an American company build a
strong position internationally.". .Read More »

Hello Denby,
Attached is an ad that the charter industry has sponsored in the Alaska Business Magazine. It will be
running during June, and possibly through out the summer months. It will start being distributed within the
next week.
The ad is the result of our feeling that the State has been less than responsive and responsible to its
coastal community residents with its lack of preventive action taken on the one fish issue, and
recreational halibut allocation in general.
We are sending the ad to you so should friends, neighbors or business associates see it, and ask you
about it, you will knowledge of what it is.
Bob Howard, President

State Chamber provides new planning tool for Alaska organizations
Too frequently, organizations across Alaska set a date for an event and later find out that the
dates they selected are in competition with another organizations event. In an effort to provide a
tool for all Alaska organizations to use in planning and selecting dates for their events, the
Alaska State Chamber of Commerce is providing a web based calendar tool for all Alaska
organizations to use. The calendar will be on the front page of the Alaska State Chamber
website, www.alaskachamber.com
Organizations will be able to enter their own data about their events to insure accuracy in the
posting. Once they post the data, an automatic message will be sent to the Calendar
Administrator. The Calendar Administrator will review the submitted event material to insure its
appropriateness for posting on the Alaska State Chamber website. All organizations are
encouraged to utilize this statewide calendar tool for their planning purposes.
To use the Calendar, Click on the link "Add an event to the calendar". A new box will open.
Enter the title of your event in the Event Title box. Enter a brief description of your event in the
Events Details box. You can preview the material before submitting by clicking on the Preview
Button or the Preview Dates button. Once you are satisfied, click on the Add Event button at the
bottom of the page.
All organizations are invited and encouraged to use the State Chamber calendar tool.

A bill signed by Governor Sarah Palin designates &\e
Alaska Highway from Fairbanks to the Canadian
border as part of the nationwide "Purple Heart Trail."
Included in the trail is the Black Veterans Memorial
Bridge over the Gerstie River, which honors the
segregated battalions that helped build the highway.
Palin signed the bill on Saturday, May 3 at Mountain
View's Northland VFW Post #10252. The Governor
was joined by a mostly veteran crowd of about 1 00 that
also included Sen. Johnny Blis. Rep. Berta Gardner,
Rep. Nancy Dahtstrom, Rep. Bob Lynn and Rep. Max
Gruenberg. Ron Siebels, who was recently named
Commander of the Military Order of the Purple Heart
Department of Alaska, presented the Governor with a
Purple Heart pm and a Purple Heart plaque.
The Governor signed the Capstone Avionics bill, SB
249, which will provide low-interest loans through the
Department of Commerce, Community and Economic
Development for Alaska airplane owners to purchase
state-of-the-art safety equipment. Alaska has the
highest number of pilots per capita of any state - about

three to four times higher than the national average.
Nearly 2,000 aviation enthusiasts padked the
Anchorage FedEx Hangar for the May 3 ceremonial
event, including Transportation Commissioner Leo von
Scheben, Alaska Airmen's Association President Joe
Pearson and Aircraft Carriers Association President
Wilfred Ryan.
Governor Palin joined 200 of Alaska's seniors at the
Anchorage Senior Activity Center to issue a
proclamation designating May 2008 as "Older
Americans Month." During the May 1 ceremony, the
Governor also signed three bills: SB 101 assists adults
in need of guardianship and works to protect the rights
and possessions of these vulnerable adults, many of
whom are senior citizens; SB 209 extends the Alaska
Commission on Aging; and SB 243 modifies statutes
regarding the role of the Commission.
Governor Sarah Palin presented a proclamation to
more than 600 bikers designating May 2008 as
"Motorcycle Awareness Month" at the Anchorage
Bike Blessing on May 3 in the downtown Park Strip.
The proclamation said that in 80-90 percent of all
accidents involving a motorcycle, it is,the other
motorist's fault and urged motorists to use caution
when they are near motorcyclists. The Governor
wished the bikers safe and happy rides.

Janice,
Joe Balash and I thought it a good idea for the Governor to talk personally to the two
Premiers in order to tell them that her two Commissioners (of DNR & Revenue) had
determined that TransCanada Alaska's project (as presented in their AGIA 1 application)
maximized Alaska's interests and would move the Alaska Gasline project forward. And,
furthermore, the Governor and the Commissioners would be forwarding to Alaska's
Legislature a recommendation to approve the recommendation that an AGIA License be issued
to TransCanada.
I hope this is helpful

Subject: Bills Transmitted to the Governor
Governor,
My goal is to get as many bills out of the way between tomorrow and next week due to your hectic schedule.
Here is where we stand.
There are 15 bills in our possession which have due dates between the 24 th and 28th. You are scheduled to sign
12 of them tomorrow (this includes the budget bills) without any ceremony.
There are 3 bills which need attention/decision still:
SB 185 (Sex offender/child kidnapper registration): Wielechowski. I have not talked with the Senator concerning
the signing of this bill and he has not requested special action but its due date is next Wednesday, a very busy
time for you. So we could add this to the bills you'll sign tomorrow.
SB 202 (Real ID): Wielechowski,
Privileged or Personal Material Redacted
Privileged or Personal Material
I'd like to talk about it with Nizich and Kris tomorrow. It depends on your feelings with tnis legislation.
HB 165 (Big Game Guides & Transporters) LeDoux. This bill requires action by next Friday. I don't think it needs
a ceremony although I haven't talked with LeDoux. I would gladly call her if you'd rather sign it tomorrow as well.
NEXT WEEK: Amongst AGIA you have 2 requests for bill signings. We discussed them yesterday. Kris and I
will need to figure out a solution.
HB 166, PFD Charitable Giving, sponsored by Rep Thomas and supported by Diane Kaplan.
HB 120, Unemployment Compensation sponsored by Sen Ellis and supported by Commissioner Bishop.
If we get through these, we can work on a plan to sign bills during special session: requests are already coming
in. Tomorrow I'll put together a list of the bills in our possession that will come due during special session for you
to see. The list is quite long.
Let me know if you have any questions since I may not have been very clear here. I am happy to answer them.

The Governor is looking for the press release. It is attached here with Bruce and Kurt's
blessings. Please have her review and look at the quotes and tell me if she'd like
anything changed. I've got Irwin and Galvin going through their quotes as well.
Thanks !

Governor Sarah Paiin roiled out a short-term
energy plan May 15 to address the skyrocketing
costs of energy in Alaska. The package includes
two parts - returning surplus funds through a grant
to all electric utilities to reduce ratepayer bills and
an Energy Debit Card for the next 12 months.
"Alaskans are feeling the pinch of high energy
costs," she said. "The state treasury is swelling,
while family checkbooks are evaporating. The
right thing to do is to return surplus monies to the
resource owners through energy relief. Instead of
going to Washington, D r C. for relief, Alaskans
should be independent enough to take care of this
energy problem ourselves."

do much to change the
stereotypes, change the
mindset that affects how we
respond to the violence that
many face," Governor Palin
told attendees at the Alaska
Native Justice Group's

conference at the Anchorage
Hilton on April 28. "I honor
and celebrate the brave
leadership Representative
Nelson displayed as she
issued a challenge to her
colleagues in the legislature,
to the media and to all
Alaskans. Representative
Nelson used her well-
chosen words to build a
bridge leading to progress -
and now it is up to us to
cross it" The event focused
on improving the response
to and attitudes towards
violence targeting Native
Alaskan women.

Older Americans Month Event
A bill signed by Governor Sarah Palin designates
the Alaska Highway from Fairbanks to the
Canadian border as part of the nationwide
"Purple Heart Trail." Included in the trail is the
Black Veterans Memorial Bridge over the
Gerstle River, which honors the segregated
battalions that helped build the highway. Palin
signed the bill on Saturday, May 3 at Mountain
View's Northland WW Post #10252. The
Governor was joined by a mostly veteran crowd
of about 100 that also included Sen. Johnny
Ellis, Rep. Berta Gardner, Rep. Nancy
Dahlstrom, Rep. Bob Lynn and Rep. Max
Gruenberg. Ron Siebels, who was recently
named Commander of the Military Order of the
Purple Heart Department of Alaska, presented
the Governor with a Purple Heart pin and a
Purple Heart plaque.
The Governor signed the Capstone Avionics bill,
SB 249, which will provide low-interest loans
through the Department of Commerce,
Community and Economic Development for
Alaska airplane owners to purchase state-of-the-
art safety equipment. Alaska has the highest
number of pilots per capita of any state - about
one in 78 - and the highest aviation accident
rates, three to four times higher than the national
average. Nearly 2,000 aviation enthusiasts
packed the Anchorage FedEx Hangar for the
May 3 ceremonial event, including
Transportation Commissioner Leo von Scheben,
Alaska Airmen's Association President Joe
Pearson and Aircraft Carriers Association
President Wilfred Ryan.
Governor Palin joined 200 of Alaska's seniors at
the Anchorage Senior Activity Center to issue a
proclamation designating May 2008 as "Older
Americans Month." During the May 1 ceremony,
the Governor also signed three bills: SB 101
assists adults in need of guardianship and works
to protect the rights and possessions of these
vulnerable adults* many of whom are senior
citizens; SB 209 extends the Alaska Cornmission
on Aging; and SB 243 modifies statutes
regarding the role of the Commission.
Governor Sarah Palin presented a proclamation
to more than 600 bikers designating May 2008
as "Motorcycle Awareness Month" at the
Anchorage Bike Blessing on May 3 in the

downtown Park Strip. The proclamation said that
in 80-90 percent of all accidents involving a
motorcycle, it is the other motorist's fault and
urged motorists to use caution when they are
near motorcyclists. The Governor wished the
bikers safe and happy rides.

Welcome Home Alaska ANG
In a May 1 ceremony at Fort Richardson,
Governor Sarah Palin welcomed home about 180
Alaska Army National Guard soldiers of Bravo
Company, 297th Support Battalion who spent six
months serving as security forces based put of
Camp Anaconda, Iraq. The soldiers are from
Southcentral Alaska, Juneau, Bethel, Nome and
Fairbanks. "You have shown incredible courage
in the face of the enemy during the most
dangerous deployment of the Alaska Army
National Guard," the Governor told the troops.
"Thank you for all that you have done, and for
the sacrifices you and your families have made
in order to secure our freedom and safety."
During their deployment, the soldiers earned
four Bronze Stars for Valor, 21 Bronze Stars for
Service, two Army Commendation Medals for
Valor, 62 Army Commendation Medals for
Service, six Purple Hearts and 79 Army
Achievement Medals for Service.
The Alaska Energy Authority announced 28 Energy Plan Town Hall meetings
across Alaska from Barrow to Ketchikan. Alaskans will hear presentations by
teams of representatives from AEA, the Alaska Department of Natural Resources,
the Alaska Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development,
and the Denali Commission.
"I don't need to tell you what today's high energy costs are doing to every single
Alaskan," said Alaska Energy Coordinator Steve Haagenson, in an open letter to
Alaskans. "Each one of us in every area of our state feels the impact. In some
areas, the cost of energy has produced near crisis circumstances. Ym here to do
something about it, to get us beyond the talking points, beyond the planning stage
and into rapid deployment of solutions."
The Town Hall meetings will focus on developing local energy resources.

Dear staff member: please deliver this, as the Governor was not aware of it when t spoke
to her last night, and seemed interested.
Dear Governor Palin,
It was very nice talking to you briefly last night at Sean's campaign reception. My daughters really got a
kick out of seeing your autograph on the back of Sean's yard sign; they still don't believe it is real.
J had mentioned the Corsair Unit Appeal that is currently being reviewed by Commissioner Irwin. In our
conversation, I expressed that Pacific Energy would not be bringing the jack-up drilling rig to the Cook
Inlet waters if their unit expansion is not approved. I would like to explain that that was neither a threat
nor a bribe to get the approval, if it came across as such during the brevity of our discussion, it was not
intended that way. The simple fact is that Pacific Energy (Vladimir Katie) has spent a half a billion dollars
acquiring the assets and leases of Forest Oil and in the acquisition and interpretation of additional G&G
data. It was through that recent interpretation that he decided the Corsair structure was economic to
explore and produce with a jack-up drilling rig.
10/15/2009
PRA GSP01 0018140
Page 2 of 2
Approximately 2/3rds of the Corsair structure is within that expansion acreage. Without that acreage, the entire
prospect becomes uneconomical It is going to cost Pacific Energy over 20 million dollars to get the jack-up rig to
the Cook Inlet - before drilling even the first well. Each well is going to cost approximately 20 million dollars
more. As you can imagine, the company must be fairly certain of the reservoir size and potential to justify that
kind of up-front expenditure. This is real money that is going to be spent in the State, and real jobs.
As you know, the Cook Inlet has not had a jack-up rig in its waters for almost two decades; this is a very real feet.
Cook Inlet reserves are in a steady decline and exploration is stagnant The opportunity to have a jack-rig and
revitalize the Cook Inlet is upon the State, and it will benefit all of the south central and rail-belt. energy
consumers, and of, the State of Alaska itself, if you have just a few minutes, please look into the Corsair decision
and appeal. I had worked for the Division of Oil and Gas for over a decade and this has to be the worst decision
coming out of the Division that I have ever seen, not to mention one of possibly the most crucial to future Cook
Inlet exploration and production. Should you wish to discuss this with Vladimir Katie of Pacific Energy, or myself,
our contact information is as follows:
Vladimir 310-200-8814 cell, 562-628-1530 office {Long Beach, CA - he just went back home)
Myself 229-8398 cell, 522-3237 home, 277-1003 daytime work
I fully understand your busy schedule as Governor, with the gas pipeline, Exxon litigation, clean water initiative,
whales, polar bears, new baby, being a mother and a wife. My family and I personally appreciate everything that
you do for all Alaskans, and am constantly amazed at how much that is. You are indeed a valuable natural
resource to the State yourself.
If this message reaches you, thank you for your time and interest

So carol's request was from a YEAR ago? We've met with her in that year.
And Karen did take care of Fran's concerns- UA was all taken care of. (I haven't heard
that's she's been put off - I was told it was Carol and Begich taking issue with our
process, so if I'm missing something there I need to know)
And Begich asked to "meet on budget" - he did - he had 1.5 hrs with some of my top trusted
budget advisors just a few days ago (while I was working on AGIA) to hear him out on his
lobbying cries for more Anchorage money. And I've attended numerous events with him
recently and never has he told me he had to talk to me about budget.

Also, did Carol Comeau ever ask for a mtg with me on budget? She and Begich were just on

mentioned needing to see me on the budget. And I've never seen a request from Carol. Did
one come in? Because if it didn't I want our Comm folks to correct the ktuu story and
Carol needs to be called on this if she's not being truthful.

Governor,
There are two calls you need to make this morning. We spoke about three of them
yesterday afternoon, but Premier Campbell is in China so a call to him is unnecessary. At
7:15, a call to Premier Fentie is only a courtesy call to inform him of the recommendation
and commencement of the legislative side of the process.
At 7:00 am I will be speaking with the COS for Minister Prentice. Once that pre-call is
done, we will arrange for a time shortly thereafter for you to speak with the Minister
directly. That discussion will be a little more than a courtesy in that we should
indicate that we would like to see them re-activate the Northern Pipeline Agency to
complete the final authorizations necessary for TC to proceed (this is one of the
significant advantages TC offers) .

I must be the only one not aware of the plan here- all I have on any TC phone call is
last night's note from Janice to call Fentie, and his phone #. Who is the other premiere
to be called, what's his #, what time is the call, and anything specific he (or Fentie)

Janice,
Joe Balash and I thought it a good idea for the Governor to talk personally to the two
Premiers in order to tell them that her two Commissioners (of DNR & Revenue) had
determined that TransCanada Alaska's project (as presented in their AGIA ? application)
maximized Alaska's interests and would move the Alaska Gasline project forward- And,
furthermore, the Governor and the Commissioners would be forwarding to Alaska's
Legislature a recommendation to approve the recommendation that an AGIA License be issued
to TransCanada.

in the morning. I am fairly certain that Kris and Janice are aware of these two calls,

Re: Reminder - Premier Fentie phone call
Governor/
There are two calls you need to make this morning. We spoke about three of them yesterday
afternoon, but Premier Campbell is in China so a call to him is unnecessary. At 7:15, a
call to Premier Fentie is only a courtesy call to inform him of the recommendation and
commencement of the legislative side of the process.
At 7:00 am I will be speaking with the COS for Minister Prentice. Once that pre^call is
done, we will arrange for a time shortly thereafter for you to speak with the Minister
directly. That discussion will be a little more than a courtesy in that we should
indicate that we would like to see them re-activate the Northern Pipeline Agency to
complete the final authorizations necessary for TC to proceed (this is one of the
significant advantages TC offers) .

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Gov. Sarah Palin announced today that the state of Alaska will sue
the U.S. Department of the Interior over last week's polar bear listing under the
Endangered Species Act.
The state says it plans to sue under the Administrative Procedure Act, claiming Interior
Secretary Dirk Kempthorne chose to "list a currently healthy species . . . based on not only
the uncertain modeling of future climate change but also the unproven long-term impact of
any future climate change on the species . "
Attorney General Talis Colberg believes the "threatened" listing of the polar bear
violates the APA as well as the Endangered Species Act itself.
The administration says Secretary Kempthorne failed "to make a decision based solely on
the best scientific and commercial information."
Today 1 s action reverses a course the administration claimed it would chart as recently as
a few days ago, when Palin said the state did not intend to sue over the listing but may
opt to join other lawsuits.
PRA GSP01 0018170
As recently as last Friday Gov. Palin told KTUU Channel 2 News that
<http://http:/www.ktuu.com/Global/story.asp?s=8339595> the state would not sue over the
polar bear listing. She also said the state would not be "the first" to sue over the
dispute.
"We don't want to just sue just to make some political statement here," Palin said. "We
want to be effective there, and we're gonna be committed to doing what's in Alaska's best
interest. "
However, the administration has apparently changed its mind and determined Alaska should
pave the lead in legally disputing the polar bear's "threatened" status.
"Inappropriate implementation of this listing decision could result in widespread social
and economic impacts, including increased power costs and further increases in fuel
prices, without providing any more protection for the species," Department of Natural
Resources Commissioner Tom Irwin said.
Kempthorne says the best available science indicates that the bears' primary habitat, sea
ice, was shrinking and likely to further recede.
But the state came to a different conclusion. Initially the Palin administration cited
independent science in its opposition to listing the polar bear as "threatened" under
federal law. But it later back-tracked and said it actually came to its conclusions based
on the same science used by the Interior Department.
Doug Vincent-Lang of the state Department of Fish and Game admitted to during a recent
interview that no independent state-sanctioned studies of polar bear populations were
performed.
But an analysis of federal and international science led the Palin administration to
determine that polar bears did not deserve elevation to "threatened" status.
The lead polar bear scientist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service came to a different
conclusion than that of the state, though, and even said he "wished he were wrong."
Scott Schliebe emphasized in a <http://www.ktuu.com/Global/story.asp7s-8339583> KTUU
Channel 2 News interview that no independent state studies were conducted or administered
to his team, .which oversaw the science that led to the federal government's decision.
He also said he had "no doubt that polar bears are threatened."
"I believe after looking very closely at the data and the information that we've made a
thorough and accurate assessment," he said. "I think it's — I think it's rock solid."
Meanwhile, environmental groups including the Center for Biological Diversity and
Defenders of Wildlife have announced they are suing the Interior Department for not
attempting to mitigate the causes of global warming — and specifically, the threat to
polar bears by global warming — through the Endangered Species Act.

Just got it all taken care of. Michael enjoyed and appreciated the information I had for
him, particularly considering his disappointment re "no LNG" {I re-filled his sails
there) . He was thankful and indicated that before going live on air, he wanted time to
study the Exec Summ, and then speak with Tom on Tuesday. This worked out perfectly,
because now (on air), instead of sounding disappointed, he is saying nice things about the
Gov /Commissioners 1 open-mindedness to LNG, and heavily promoting the Irwin appearance on
Tuesday. We're good.

Subject: 2009 Capital Budget
Governor,
As you finalize your vetoes of the 2009 Capital budget, I would like to make a pitch for those items in uie capital budget mat
are for roads and buildings - those appropriations mat employ Alaskan and build something tangible.
As we ramp up to be ready for the construction of the gas line, it is imperative that we continue all the efforts across the state
in workforce development so that we not only replace the workers retiring for the industry every year, but we increase the
number of Alaskans trained and working in construction.
Essential to this increase in the workforce is an increase every year in the states capital budget so there are projects and jobs
available for those entering the construction workforce. More workers = more jobs - more projects - bigger capital budget
Increasing that number of construction jobs every year in anticipation and readiness is the single most effective thing we can
do maximize the benefit of gas line construction for Alaskans
In Bullet form:
As we put effort into workforce development, we need to have jobs for the apprentices entering the workplace
Contractors need projects in order to employ the new entries into the workforce. Presently employers are limited in the
number of apprentices they can hire because of the amount of work there is
We need to steadily increase the States Capital Budget and the amount of construction projects on the street for the
next 6-S years (at least) to provide an growing workforce to be ready to jump to the Gas line project in 8-10 years
Will we overheat the economy? NO.
I am not concerned about overheating the economy. I am concerned about cooling off the workforce as we attempt to expand
it We need a healthy capital budget to be prepared for the gas line construction to maximize the benefit for Alaskans.
Thank you for your consideration.

ED REVIEW
May 23, 2008
..a bi-weekly update on U.S* Department of Education activities relevant to the
Intergovernmental and Corporate community and other stakeholders
MIDDLE EAST TRIP
On May 1 6, Secretary Spellings became the first U.S. Secretary of Education to visit the United Arab
Emirates (U.A.E.). Over the course of her five-day visit, the Secretary met with leading U.A.E.
officials (including Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, her counterpart,
Minister of Education Hanif Hassan, and Minister of Higher Education Sheikh Nahyan bin
Mubarak Al Nahyan), visited three colleges (the American University in Dubai [AUD], the American
University of Sharjah [AUS], and Zayed University), and, in a culminating event, signed a special,
five-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Dr. Hassan to encourage greater educational
cooperation and exchange between the two countries. "The U.S. and the U.A.E. share more than
just a first name," she said at AUD's commencement ceremonies, where more than 400 students
received their graduation certificates. 1T We are united in our strong belief in education. And, we
have made parallel journeys to improve our schools at every level. In this competitive century,
change happens, whether we are ready or not." The first area of focus for the MOU is math,
science, and language studies. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE GO TO
http://dubd.usconsukte.gov/spelling.html .
NCLB UPDATE
Earlier this year, the Secretary announced a differentiated accountability pilot program that would
allow states to distinguish between low-performing schools in need of dramatic interventions and
those that are closer to meeting the goals of No Child Ijft Behind. The law currendy treats all schools
in improvement alike. The pilot would allow states to vary the intensity and type of interventions to
10/15/2009
PRA GSP01 0018200
ED Review (05/23/08) Page 2 of 4
match the academic reasons that led to a school's identification for improvement And, in states with a
significant percentage of schools identified, it would allow officials to target interventions and resources to
schools most in need of reform. Seventeen states submitted proposals for consideration: AK, AR, FL, IN,
LA, MD, NJ, NY, ND, OH, OK, PA, SC, TN, and VA for implementation in the 2008-09 school year and
GA and IL for implementation in the 2009-10 school year. After reviewing the proposals for four basic
eligibility criteria, the Department has submitted all 17 states to a peer review panel. The panel will meet in
June to evaluate the proposals using the agency's guidance
(nttp://www.ed.gov/policy/elsec/guid/daguidance.doc) . After considering the peers' comments, the
Secretary will approve up to 10 states to participate in the pilot. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE
GO T Ohttp://www.edgov/admins/lead/account/differentiatedaccountability/ .
Earlier this month, the Department published a statistical summary of Highly Qualified Teachers (HQTs)
with three state data tables. During the 2006-07 school year, 94% of core academic classes in the nation's
schools were led by HQTs. A higher percentage of classes were led by HQTs in elementary school (96%)
than in secondary school (93%). Also, at both levels, classes in low-poverty schools were more likely to be
led by HQTs than were classes in high-poverty schools. The percentage of classes led by HQTs has
increased seven percentage points since 2003-04. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE GO TO
http://www.ed.gov/programs/teacherqual/resources.html .
Meanwhile, the Department has published Fiscal Year 2008 guidance for Title V, Part A of the No Child Left
Behind Act (State Grants for Innovative Programs). The paper addresses the impact a lack of FY 2008
funding under Title V, Part A has on various flexibility provisions of the law and key requirements under the
program. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE GO TO
http://www.ed.gov/policy/innovative/titlevguidance2008.pdf
STUDENT LOAN ACCESS
On May 21, as part of its ongoing commitment to make sure students have access to federal student loans in
the coming academic year, the Administration announced a four-part plan aimed to improve the functioning
of the student loan marketplace and provide liquidity and stability in the near term. This plan includes: (1) a
loan purchase commitment by which the Department agrees to purchase new federal loans originated for
the 2008-09 school year (with the price of the loan equal to the sum of par value, accrued interest, the 1%
origination fee paid to the agency, and a fixed amount of $75 per loan) and a facility for providing short-
term liquidity to lenders lacking access to affordable capital due to disruptions in markets; (2) a commitment
to continue working with the lending community, to explore ways to reengage markets; (3) a strengthened
"lender of last resort" program to help protect students from shifting market forces; and (4) increased Direct
Loan capacity, should it be needed to act as an extra cushion for students. "We want students to be able to
concentrate on their studies, rather than worry about disruptions in the market and whether they will be able
to obtain federal loans to help pay for school," Secretary Spellings said in a statement "At the same time. . .
we can also consider this a teachable moment that speaks to broader, long-term flaws in our complex and
outdated financial system." FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE GO TO
http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2008/05/05212008.html . (Note: The Administration is continuing
to refine the pricing and conditions of these options to ensure they meet the requirement that they result in
no net cost to the federal government Final terms will be published in the Federal Register!)
NIES 2007
10/15/2009
PRA GSP01 0018201
ED Review (05/23/08) Page 3 of 4
"The National Indian Education Study" (NIES) is a two-part study designed to describe the condition of
education for American Indian/Alaska Native students in the U.S. (NIES was first conducted in 2005.)
Part I, released last week, presents detailed information on the academic performance of American
Indian/ Alaska Native students on the 2007 National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) reading
and math tests. In both fourth- and eighth-grade, the students had lower average scores and proficiency
rates compared to all other students in the country and, aside from fourth-grade math, showed no
significant change since 2005. Yet, their performance was not significandy different than the scores for all
racial/ethnic groups (even exceeding the scores of African-American students on math). In both grades and
subjects, American Indian/ Alaska Native students also performed better if they attended schools with
smaller concentrations of similar students (less than 25) and attended a public school — versus a Bureau of
Indian Education school. Part II, to be released this summer, is a survey of the educational experiences of
American Indian/Alaska Native students, focused on the integration of native language and culture into
school and classroom activities. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE GO TO
http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/NIES/ .
MORE FEDERAL RESEARCH
Check out these other federal studies:
"Implementation Study of Smaller Learning Communities: Final
Report" flittp://www.ed.gov/rschstat/eval/o&^ from the Department's
Office of Pfenning, Evaluation, and Policy Development (OPEPD), studied the implementation of
the agency's Smaller Learning Communities (SLC) discretionary grant program. On the one hand, the
data suggests an upward trend in the percentage of SLC students participating in extra-curricular
activities, ninth-graders being promoted to tenth-grade, and graduating students planning to attend
either two- or four-year colleges, as well as a downward trend in the incidence of violence. On the
other hand, there were no significant trends observed in academic achievement.
The latest results from the National Science Foundation's Math and Science Partnership Program
(http://www.nsf gov/news/news summ.)sp?cntn id— 1 11514) show not only improved proficiency
among all elementary and middle school students but also a closing of the achievement gaps between
both African-American and Hispanic students and white students in elementary school math and
between African-American and white students in elementary and middle school science.
"Attrition of Public School Mathematics and Science
Teachers" (http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2008Q77) . from the National Center
for Education Statistics (NCES), indicates that the percentage of public school math and science
teachers who left teaching did not change measurably between 1988-89 and 2004-05, even as the
percentage of other public school teachers who left teaching did. When asked to rate various reasons
for leaving teaching, greater percentages of math and science teachers than other teachers rated better
salary or benefits as very or extremely important.
U.S. HISTORY EDUCATION
The National History Education Qearinghouse (http: / /teachinghistory.org/) . funded by a $7 million, five-
year grant from the Department's Office of Innovation and Improvement (Oil), is a one-stop so for
accessing high-quality resources in K-12 U.S. history education. The clearinghouse provides hyperlinks to
the most informative history content on the Internet. It also provides teaching resources and tools, such as
guides to working with primary sources, lesson plan reviews, and models of exemplary teaching.

QUOTES TO NOTE
"My friend Senator Ted Kennedy is a lionhearted champion for o\ir nation's children. His decades of public
service have inspired generations of Americans, including me. And his strong, outspoken leadership has
helped to improve the quality of life for all of us. I join people across our country and around the world in
sending my prayers to the Senator, his wife, and their entire family during this difficult time."
— Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings (5/19/08), on the Senator's diagnosis of a malignant tumor
"Education, in my opinion, is the key to democracy. It paves the way for a better understanding of the
preset of principles acquainted with the democratic procedure. This, in turn, allows people to appreciate the
benefits that come with democracy for both citizens and leaders of countries anywhere around the
world. ... No nation should ever fear freedom or what comes of it knowledge and civic engagement"
- Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings (5/21/08), praising the U.A.E. for making the study of
democracy part of its curriculum

:: Stevens works to exempt Alaska from

By Cruise Week
No official word yet, but well-placed sources tell Cruise
Week that the government has reached a resolution in
determining how they will interpret the foreign-flag cruise
ship rule. They've decided to limit enforcement of the
Passenger Vessel Services Act (PVSA) to markets where
there are large U.S.-flagged ships currently operating - and
there's only one: Hawaii," one insider said. "So Alaska, Key
West, Maine, etc. dont have to worry about changes."
All this follows a Senate Appropriations sub-committee
hearing in which Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) chastised
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff for taking so
long to reach a decision. "There is no economy left in
Southeast Alaska except tourism, and they all come in on

Governor Palin Signs FY2009 Budgets
Vetoes $268 Million
May 23, 2008, Anchorage, Alaska - Governor Sarah Palin signed into law House Bill 31Q, the
FY2009 Operating Budget; House Bill 312, the FY2009 Mental Health Operating and Capital
Budget; and Senate Bill 221, the FY2009 Capital Budget. The Governor also signed House
Bill 314, authorizing $315 million in general obligation bonds for transportation projects
to appear before voters on the November 2008 general election ballot.
"In this time of unprecedented resource revenue, we have an opportunity to address needed
deferred maintenance, transportation and infrastructure projects," Governor Palin said.
"Alaska is blessed to invest in education, public safety and revenue sharing for our
communities and citizens while putting a significant amount of surplus revenues into
savings.
"I commend legislators for committing $5 billion to savings and for focusing a significant
portion of their proposed spending on the key priorities of public safety, education and
infrastructure. I appreciate that legislators acknowledged that nothing in this budget
was veto-proof. Our comprehensive review of the budgets confirmed that those legislators
who prioritized projects made a concerted effort to follow new guidelines in making
changes to the budget process and we appreciate their desire to do things better."
PRA GSP01 0018208
The FY2009 Operating Budget Bill totals $11.1 billion and includes funding for public
education, the university system, public health and safety, transportation and resource
development. In signing the bill, the Governor committed to saving at least $20 million
in state agencies' operating budgets.
"This administration takes its fiscal responsibility seriously," Governor Palin said.
"Especially during this time of extraordinary revenue, we must be responsible stewards of
Alaska's resources to prepare for the future,"
Commissioners are developing strategies to achieve this savings target within the budget
beginning on July 1. Savings achieved during the fiscal year will roll into the
Constitutional Budget Reserve fund at the end of FY2009. The governor removed $2.6
million in the operating budget through line-item veto.
Also signed was HB 312, the Mental Health Operating and Capital Budget.
"This legislation is a cooperative effort between state agencies and the Alaska Mental
Health Trust Authority which has made a positive difference for Alaska's mental health
beneficiaries," Governor Palin said. The comprehensive mental health program bill totals
$189.6 million and was sighed into law as passed by the legislature.
Governor Palin also signed the Capital Budget Bill, SB 221, which totals $3.6 billion.
"This capital budget contains a significant number of projects that will help communities
across the state address deferred maintenance to improve infrastructure. It provides the
tools the private sector needs to grow and thrive," Governor Palin said.
PRA GSP01 0018209
Following a thorough review of the budget, many projects requested by the legislature were
partially funded, noted as one-time only or marked for future consideration. Projects
with local bond approval or other matching funds received greater consideration in the
budget process. In all, $268 million was vetoed from the budget bills.

Governor Palin Signs FY2009 Budgets
Vetoes $268 Million
PRA GSP01 0018213
May 23, 2008, Anchorage, Alaska — Governor Sarah Palin signed into law House Bill 310, the
FY2009 Operating Budget; House Bill 312, the FY2009 Mental Health Operating and Capital
Budget; and Senate Bill 221, the FY2009 Capital Budget. The Governor also signed House
Bill 314, authorizing $315 million in general obligation bonds for transportation projects
to appear before voters on the November 2008 general election ballot.
x> In this time of unprecedented resource revenue, we have an opportunity to address needed
deferred maintenance, transportation and infrastructure projects," Governor Palin said.
"Alaska is blessed to invest in education, public safety and revenue sharing for our
communities and citizens while putting a significant amount of surplus revenues into
savings.
"I commend legislators for committing $5 billion to savings and for focusing a. significant
portion of their proposed spending on the key priorities of public safety, education and
infrastructure. I appreciate that legislators acknowledged that nothing in this budget
was veto-proof. Our comprehensive review of the budgets confirmed that those legislators
who prioritized projects made a concerted effort to follow new guidelines in making
changes to the budget process and we appreciate their desire to do things better."
The FY2009 Operating Budget' Bill totals $11.1 billion and includes funding for public
education, the university system, public health and safety, transportation and resource
development. In signing the bill, the Governor committed to saving at least $20 million
in state agencies ' operating budgets.
This administration takes its fiscal responsibility seriously, " Governor Palin said.
Especially during this time of extraordinary revenue, we must be responsible stewards of
Alaska's resources to prepare for the future."
Commissioners are developing strategies to achieve this savings target within the budget
beginning on July 1. Savings achieved during the fiscal year will roll into the
Constitutional Budget Reserve fund at the end of FY2009. The governor removed $2.6
PRA GSP01 0018214
million in the operating budget through line-item veto.
Also signed was HB 312, the Mental Health Operating and Capital Budget.
"This legislation is a cooperative effort between state agencies and the Alaska Mental
Health Trust Authority which has made a positive difference for Alaska's mental health
beneficiaries, " Governor Palin said. The comprehensive mental health program bill totals
$189.6 million and was signed into law as passed by the legislature.
Governor Palin also signed the Capital Budget Bill, SB 221, which totals $3.6 billion.
"This capital budget contains a significant number of projects that will help communities
across the state address deferred maintenance to improve infrastructure. It provides the
tools the private sector needs to grow and thrive," Governor Palin said.
Following a thorough review of the budget, many projects requested by the legislature were
partially funded, noted as one-time only or marked for future consideration. Projects
with local bond approval or other matching funds received greater consideration in the
budget process. In all, $268 million was vetoed from the budget bills.
"The budgets will provide needed services, will leverage other funds and will make a
significant investment in Alaska's future," Governor Palin said. "Now, I look forward to
working with lawmakers as we pursue our shared goal of building a gas line."

Governor :
Mike Mizich and I spoke with Leo this morning. In a nutshell, Leo is moving Frank
completely off of the airport negotiating team and back to highways. This frees Frank up
to prepare for special session issues, like repairs and upgrades to the Dalton Highway,
and to focus on roads issues.
Christine will be on the negotiating team. Leo said that just as he did with Frank and
John Torgerson, he will make final decisions on negotiating terms. I think this gets
Christine all the normal areas of responsibility a Deputy Commissioner of aviation would
usually have.
Leo said he was already working on these changes before we called.

Subject: Support Elementary School computer iab- Turnagain Elementary
Please do not veto money for the Turnagain Elementary school computer lab that is currently in SB
221.
f know there are a number of schools asking for computer money. Generally, I support this spending
to bring technology to our children. I feel that computer skills are an area that will be critical for our
children to learn. However, schools are going to find it difficult to allocate funds for computers
because they are expensive, and these skills are not specifically tested on standardized tests. I feel
this is not an area that parents can hold bake sales to buy computers for the schools, and it is unlikely
that school districts will specificially allocate funds to this area. I think computers and learning
software in the schools will improve the education of our children, and I hope the state will fund these
areas.
Specifically, I support funding for Turnagain elementary and I recognize that we need government
help to begin to bring these computers to my son's school. Our school is one of the oldest schools in
Anchorage & probably one of the older schools still operating in Alaska. We have only a tiny fraction
of the average number of computers in an Anchorage school. The parents have tried fundraising,
and it Is too expensive to bring an old school with no computer facilities or wiring even up to a point
where one class at a time can use the computers. Last year, the parents group did fundraising
activities & more fundraising activities. We successfully raised over $20,000, and we still don't have a
full set of computers so that each student in a class can use the computer. These computers and
reading software sets are very popular with specialists or someone. After all this fundraising, my
son's class was not able to schedule one session with the computers.
As I said before, I hope the state will fund these areas. Without state assistance, I don't see
computers coming to my son's school until we have a bond package and I am not hopeful that will
happen anytime soon .
Wow, this was the first time I ha\te actually looked through all the appropriations in one of these bills.
Good luck sorting that outl

Frank:
I asked Frank Richards at DOT to provide some background information on the 4th runway
issue. It's a bit moot since the work on the EIS has been voluntarily suspended by DOT.
But it appears in January, 2008, the airlines told DOT the EIS work could move forward and
there were 40 or so meetings between DOT and the airlines , community councils, and the
public before the most recent one where the protesters showed up. This probably explains
why DOT felt surprised at that meeting.
I think fuel prices have roughly doubled since January and shrinking profit margins are
probably causing the airlines to re-evaluate all their capital budget plans. It's
interesting the airlines chose to communicate that to DOT during a public meeting instead
1
PRA GSP01 0018227
of a letter or phone call, but that is their right. If air traffic increases as DOT
thinks it could based on recent statements from UPS and Cathay Pacific about adding
flights, DOT may have to revisit the issue or find another solution like more use of the
Fairbanks airport.
Randy
Kelly:
Should I call Hollis and Lindsey to explain the background and DOT'S decision? They are
probably unaware of the statements by the airlines in January, 2008, to allow DOT to move
forward with the EIS work or the number of previous meetings held on the airport master
plan.

Subject: RE: Your Questions on ANC
Randy ,
Below are answers to your questions regarding the N-S R/W at ANC
Frank
PRA GSP01 0018228
Identify when and where the airlines agreed to move forward with the EIS scoping phase
In the airlines January 9, 2008 proposal regarding the "RNC New Runway," the airlines
proposed that "the EIS process or other planning can start immediately provided that it is
funded through the Development Fund or other non-rate-based funding source. 7 ' In the
proposal dated January 14, 2008, the airlines modified that position, stating "The
planning and design necessary to complete the EIS process can start immediately and can be
funded out of the rate base."
The State negotiators understood there was agreement in concept to fund the EIS using
$2.5M of existing operating agreement (O/A) approval and $2M of new O/A approval during
operating agreement negotiations. The airlines also agreed that the airport fund the new
R/W design and LOI preparation, providing Development Funds are used for the State match
portion. They have subsequently changed their position again and went back to insistence
first that only non rate-based funds (AIP and Development Fund) be used for the EIS,
design or LOI preparation, to which the State agreed.
Identify the funding sources for EIS phase
$2.5M under existing O/A approval within Capital Projects Category A09 and $2M of new O/A
approval was planned before the Airlines rescinded their proposal. 93.75% of this would
have come from FAA AIP Funds (Cargo Entitlements) and 6.75% from AIAS Development Funds.
Runway and taxiway environmental work plainly falls within the description of the A09
project, but the Airlines have argued that they did not intend for that to apply that to a
whole new runway.
Identify how many public meeting have been held during Master Plan process and how
many will likely be held during EIS process
PRA GSP01 0018229
During the Master Plan, there have been 46 total meetings with the public including 3
public meetings , 12 meetings with Community Councils, 6 Technical Advisory Group
meetings, 4 Airline meetings, 3 Agency meetings, and 3 meetings with interest groups
such as the trail users. The EIS process will be conducted by the FAA, which will decide,
together with its NEPA contractor, what public meetings are required. A NEPA process that
is controversial automatically gets additional public process.
Identify why we think the airlines are opposing the project
The airlines that have expressed concern about the project primarily due to impacts to the
rates and fees. Their vision is near sighted due to the difficult current business
environment they are operating in. Concerns about problems 5 or more years from now are
low on their list of priorities. Their primary concern is reducing near-term costs
without a vision of the impacts of that on future operations, or the very long lead-time
necessary even to make this type of decision for when economic conditions have improved.
Identify our rationale for moving forward to EIS
AIAS has not begun moving forward with the EIS and will not, until, it has selected a
preferred alternative that is approved by the FAA. When FAA is comfortable with the
Purpose and Need and preferred alternative they will hire a consultant and commence with
the EIS. Unlike the Master Plan, which is conducted and managed by the Airport, the EIS
will be conducted and managed by the FAA. The reason for proceeding now is that this type
of project takes a very long time just for environmental and design work. If we wait
until the need is more apparent due to improved economic conditions, we may be too late to
prevent the projected dire congestion that will result.
Identify the project nomination and airline approval process for this project
The Project Nomination forms for the N-S Runway (attached), were submitted to the airlines
4
PRA GSP01 0018230
along with the Project Nomination forms for all proposed new operating agreement CIP
projects. These were presented to the AAAC Committee in December 2007 in advance of the
January 9 & 10 operating agreement negotiation meetings.
and any other information that is relevant to give the Governor the full story on
this issue.
ANC f s 2002 master plan identified the need for a new N/S runway. Per FAA requirements
AIAS is updating the master plan.
Attached is a comparison of what ANC charges for terminal rental fees and landing fees
versus other destinations. ANC has worked hard to keep rates and fees low and what has
greatly contributed to this is the steady increase of cargo activity. It is important to
note that just yesterday ANC staff participated in an airline technical meeting (part of
the Master Plan) where a representative from UPS told us that their business was going to
double in 3 years and that they would choose Runway alternative (s) 2 or 3 from the Master
Plan . Today over 70% of ANC's revenue comes from the cargo sector. Cathy Pacific just'
increased their cargo flights from 70 to 90 per week.

Gov, Palin vetoes capital projects
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) _ Gov. Sarah Palin has vetoed scores of public works projects around the state.
Palin's vetoes totaling more than a quarter billion dollars were made public on Friday _ the deadline for
her to sign the budget.
Palin struck $268 million in roads, school improvements and other local projects from a nearly $3
billion budget that lawmakers approved last month.
Palin warned lawmakers there would be vetoes. She said they had failed to build a
fiscally prudent plan.

I believe there are 5 projects

Anchorage south high $500.0
Anchorage service high school $500.0 vetoed $1500.0
Ketchikan fawn mtn $500.0 vetoed $500.0
Palmer high $500.0 vetoed $1000.0
So we funded $2.3 million and vetoed $3 million
The communities or school districts could bond for these and potentially be eligible for
60 percent reimbursement from the state under the school debt reimbursement program. Not
sure the sitka field is under the school district but it might be

I've gone through Sean's story. It is definitely misleading. Service High's turf. And
Sharon, for another example, he mentions a cut of $1.1 m to Covenant House without stating
they received $3.9. ..but he clarified that the recycling center rec'd $lm of their request
for $2m. And, Karen talked w/Carol.

For me, the most frustrating aspect of the veto news stories is the comparison of the
capital budget vetoes to the operating budget vetoes. What the public doesn't see or
understa nd is the budget discipline you exercise during the crafting of the operating
budget. Iprivileged or Personal Material Redacted
Privileged or
The fact that the operating budget was not subject to public vetoes at this point in the
process was in large part because the Governor kept a tight ship during the formation of
her budget .
Just my observations.

She should realize they were FUNDED for the most part - even mosyt of the small "cuts"
weren't completely axed but reduced. The state's poured more $ into the public educ system
than ever before- as she noted in an earlier press conf that in her 34 yrs she's never
seen such an educ package I And she wasn't there to fight with Eddy and the crafters of the
Educ Funding Plan for the higher BSA so one has to figure she was happy w what the state
funded, incl capital budget items.

I think the issue I saw earlier in the story or the one on KTUU's website has been corrected. One of these

I think it has been further corrected. I will double check.

Hey Steve/
When is AP following up on the AND budget story? Cockerham, I think, failed to grasp the
hard work that went into making cuts/ being fair, distributing appropriations
proportionally, etc. No project was ever veto proof. The governor and her team made this
very clear months ago and has continued to say it throughout the budget process. Meyer's
comments about a "gentlemen's agreement" are rediculous. The governor said she would add
some of last year's vetoed projects into this year's capital budget to consider them
again, not to fund all of them. A large majority of them were funded this year despite his
comments. Also, Stedman, shouldn't be complaining about projects he didn't receive,
instead he should focus on the point that his senate district alone received more capital
funding and projects than any of the others in the state. His focussing on the few
projects that were cut in his is as he calls it "pure politics". Also, Cockerham didn't
seem to understand the significance of reducing the operating budget. Governor's rarely
reduce the operating; the last time was under Hickel I believe, some 20 yrs ago. The
governor is comitted to reducing the growth of government, cutting uneeded operations, ^
while also holding harmless education funding that she worked tirelessly for last session,
and also labor contract increases that were agreed upon between the state and various
unions. Her reduction on the operating side goes straight to the cbr. The governor crafted
two thoughtful and fair budgets that Alaskans will appreciate. Thanks for your time Steve.
I appreciate you listening. Please let me know if you or Ann needs to touch base with the
governor's office today. I'm in and out of cell coverage, but leave a voicemail or send an
email and I'll get back to you asap.
Thanks 1

I just gave steve a call re: cocker-ham 1 s budget story. He said Ann wrote one too and would
check in w her to see where it ran. He said there could likely be a follow-up budget story
on tues and he'd follow up w us before he filed. He was intrigued by the operating cuts
and he or ann will follow up w Karen.

Hey Steve,
When is AP following up on the AND budget story? Cockerham, I think, failed to grasp the
hard work that went into making cuts, being fair, distributing appropriations
proportionally, etc. No project was ever veto proof. The governor and her team made this
very clear months ago and has continued to say it throughout the budget process. Meyer's
comments about a "gentlemen's agreement" are rediculous. The governor said she would add
some of last year's vetoed projects into this year's capital budget to consider them
again, not to fund all of them. A large majority of them were funded this year despite his
comments. Also, Stedman, shouldn't be complaining about projects he didn't receive,
instead he should focus on the point that his senate district alone received more capital
funding and projects than any of the others in the state. His focussing on the few
projects that were cut in his is as he calls it "pure politics". Also, Cockerham didn't
seem to understand the significance of reducing the operating budget. Governor's rarely
reduce the operating; the last time was under Hickel I believe, some 20 yrs ago. The
governor is coroitted to reducing the growth of government, cutting uneeded operations,
while also holding harmless education funding that she worked tirelessly for last session,
and also labor contract increases that were agreed upon between the state and various
unions. Her reduction on the operating side goes straight to the cbr. The governor crafted
two thoughtful and fair budgets that Alaskans will appreciate. Thanks for your time Steve.
I appreciate you listening. Please let me know if you or Ann needs to touch base with the
governor's office today. I'm in and out of cell coverage, but leave a voicemail or send an
email and I'll get back to you asap.
Thanks I
Ivy

Subject: 05.27.08 Marine Deployment Event Info & Remarks
Governor Palin,
Attached are the remarks and event info for the Marine deployment ceremony. I have
included information about the Marines who are deploying that I think will provide you
with valuable context. As they've rearranged the entire event due to the earlier
deployment time, the ceremony now centers around your remarks, where before, your speaking
role would have been paired with an awards ceremony. As such, the event will be
considerably shorter, and I would recommend that, if your schedule permits, you spend 5-10
minutes meeting the Marines and their families. FYI, the average age of those being
deployed is 21, 85% are single, 80% are first time deployed, and all are male. I will
provide you with a briefing booklet tomorrow morning. Please let me know if you have any
questions, and also, please thank Track for his service to our country. Happy Memorial
Day 1 .
Thank you,
Kate Morgan

I'd like to check with you about approving a 15 minute slot, tomorrow, Tuesday (Janice

Sen Wielechowski only has 2 bills this year and the other is SB 202 (REAL ID), which will
most likely become law without signature.
If this is okay, I'd like to email an invitation to the Senator this afternoon to see if
his schedule can accommodate the time.
Thanks for the consideration.

If we shoot for 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, that should give you plenty of wiggle room (prep and
travel time) between that and the Export Awards ceremony, which is supposed to conclude
around 1:30 p.m. I'll have the Marine speech and event info to you later on today,

Governor,
Pd like to check with you about approving a 15 minute slot, tomorrow, Tuesday (Janice and Kris discussed the
time frame) at about 2:30pm to invite Senator Bill Wielechowski to the Anchorage office to sign SB 185 (sex
offender/registration) which is due Wednesday, May 28th.
Sen Wielechowski only has 2 bills this year and the other is SB 202 (REAL ID), which will most likely become law
without signature.
If this is okay, Pd like to email an invitation to the Senator this afternoon to see if his schedule can accommodate
the time.
Thanks for the consideration.

Steve l^ti^ :/': '- l# "" **" May 26, 2008
Northern Region Director
I am seeking assistance resolving an issue and getting paid for three different jobs my
company completed last construction season for the Alaska Department of Transportation
in the Northern Region. All three projects are being administered by Construction Project
Manager Frank Ganley. The unpaid balances add up to a litde over $80,000.00. The
following is a brief synopsis of who we are and what we have experienced.
Jolt Construction is a Big Lake based road construction sub-contractor that has been
in business 12 years, working on numerous AKDOT projects around Alaska. The three
projects in question are the Parks Highway Rehabilitation MP 351-356 and the Richardson
Highway MP 350 Badger Interchange where Jolt is under contract to Exclusive Paving and
the Parks Highway MP 315-321 Signing Improvement where Jolt is the Prime Contractor.
On all three projects Jolt was contracted to install the permanent highway signs specifically
referred to as Item 615(1) Standard Sign. Using material, equipment and labor outlined and
approved by the AKDOT, these signs were installed beginning in July 2007 and completely
installed and punch-listed by the end of October.
Towards the end of this installation period State inspectors discovered white
discoloration on the backside of numerous signs on all three projects^ We all agree that the
white staining is "oxidation." Understandably the AKDOT voiced concerns about the
oxidation. These concerns turned into a State visit to Jolt's place of business to inspect the
aluminum we use; to calls to Jolts suppliers; to letters stating we now didn't meet
specifications, wanting a corrective action plan and withholding money. Jolt's response was
and is, that the spec's have been met and were previously approved. That the signs are up
and operating as designed and a white spot on the backside has no affect on its life or
function. In the spirit of customer satisfaction Jolt offered to repair the backs of the
affected signs. As requested by the AKDOT as another solution for acceptance, Jolt also
supplied an additional warranty from the reflective sheeting manufacturer. Since that time
we have heard nothing. Mr. Ganley refuses direct correspondence from Jolt and our
numerous requests for a solution through his acceptable channels go unanswered. Jolt
would be happy to forward all our letters as proof of our intent.
Last week Jolt's bonding company made us aware that Mr. Ganley stated to them his
intent to place a claim against Jolt's bond. The bonding company was thus unable to bond
a bid we were trying to submit to a new Northern Region project until the old issues were
resolved. The result was only one company bid this job at a price more than double the
State's estimate and Jolt lost out on a valuable piece of work we would have been the low
bidder on.
We are seeking a reasonable resolution for all parties. We think six to eight months
is enough time to figure this out and in some ways think the time span these signs have been
up and publicly working on Alaska roadways is an implicit acceptance by the owner. Please
assist us in resolving this issue.

Governor,
After tomorrow, we will have 10 bills to sign by next Wednesday, June 4th. With AGIA
being the main focus, I thought it might be a good idea to schedule one-hour on Wednesday
morning and possibly a media event at noon in Juneau for bill signing. I have already
checked with Janice and your schedule is available as long as you are in Juneau.

related signing ceremony in Juneau - probably the Governor's Conference Room unless
Commissioner Monegan has a better idea - relating to crime issues. This ceremony could be

same day, Tuesday, June 4th to sign SB 211 (above), HB 268 (above), SB 265 (Criminal
omnibus bill), and perhaps HB 88 (TVs/monitors in vehicles), HB 193 (Police Standards
Council), HB 286 (impersonating a public servant), and a few others I'll discuss with DPS.
If you like this as well, we could do this around the lunch hour so legislators could
attend and not miss AGIA hearings; Wednesday, June 4th at noon for 30+ minutes.
Please let me know how you would like to proceed.
Thanks, Kelly
PS After this grouping is attended to, the next set of 14 bills will, be due by Monday,
June 9th; although not all require a signing event.

Subject: Speaking points for Wednesday's bill signings
Governor Palin,
Here are speaking points and basic event information on tomorrow's four bill signings, along with a map
of the second floor of the Sheraton Hotel - the signing will take place in the Kuskokwim West Room. As
of now, we have three legislators confirmed to attend: Senator Johnny Ellis, Representative John Coghill,
and Representative Mark Neumann - although, Kelly tells me that Senator Ellis has invited others.
The event is not expected to last more than 10-15 minutes; but, if a crowd shows up, you may invite die
legislators to speak on behalf of their bills, and this would undoubtedly lengthen the event time. It is
difficult to predict the attendance at this time.
I will bring a printed copy of the remarks to the event for you. Please let me know if you have any
questions - thank you!

Ms. Logan,
If i can i will hope to attend your board meetings -Where do i pick up on (hat on the web site...
forget that question-ill find it
... Tonight i will attempt to make your renewables meeting at 5: 30 at Chugach,,, I hope i can
paticipate ?? BUt it is ok if I can only look on...
...maybe they could invite my comments...???
Look, the main reason i am eeing this is 2 things... one — did I hear you Steve Haagenson and
Chris Rose were comming befor the board ? If so when , because i would like to be there .... to
hear what they have to say
The other reason is, to give to you a copy of some questions i am asking of AGIA...
I support AGIA - thier intentions at the very least... HOWEVER;; THEY, YOU, AND ALL OF
ALASKA WHO LOVE S ALASKA, FREEDOM, FAMILY, AND OUR WAY OF LIFE AS
( QUALITY OF LIFE ) MUST SEE THIS REALIZATION TO LAUNCH A MAJOR HYDRO-
ELECTRIC BACKBONE
PLEASE, GET SOME FRIENDS TOGETHER AND BEGIN THIS DISCUSSION..
Anyway, i submitted the attached questions to the RDA hosting of AGIA ( they did have time to
ask them) and these additional ones to Pat Galvin, Mike Doogan, Ramros, Trans-alaska - — and
because they have the Chugach Electric Name refered to in their body... i felt you shold have a
copy..
(((Also, please be aware that i am in the next few days starting to e-mail out many letters of
comments to not just you folks, but others i have written too and in sending these letters out
some may be inciteful, difficult, or need re-consideration i hope each one of thes letters has
something of value in them., because i wrote them to each entity with them personally in mind
and in regards... other stuff was just thrown out there to see what workded or got traction or
whatever!.... However: I do stand accountable for my words and actions.. .as in even those i

I am very excited about the possible future role Alaska could play via "Our Mother and Father

electric... This should be discussed along with the AGIA process... I am fearful if it is not discussed
now with agia Please,,, it takes special people like yourselves, p-fund, AIDEA, AEA, and other
important groups to give live and construction to make the transition for thought and dreams into

Rebecca, first, i am not sure if this is the second e-mail you are recieving from me or not- i was
just typing you and i lost all of the content...
Anyway, thank you for the time to e me and the compliment. Many of those other venues have
not always been "the best of moments for me or the audience"...
If only i could share how big this Hydroelectric Backbone Concept is !
You, your board, Chugach, the share holders, the union guys, could only gain more respect,
recognition, and leadership if you would sponsor a Public Community wide Energy Forum ! !
While the rest of our Government is focused on Fossil Fuels, Chugach should be appointed as
Head of Statewide Hydroelectric Maintenance, Overview, and Development, in doing so your
people (board) need to go full time employees because you will be imersed full time in many
directions ( i will need to explain this)
By publicly calling for an Energy Forum you will be able to spread your wings, educate the
public of your capacities and should claim a leadership role to impliment a Hydroelectric
Backbone Initiative...
Look, Rebecca, it would really be nice to gather with some of your people informally and have
an all day with pizza relaxed disscussion on Hydroelectric Future -
You could record the meeting,, on a computer input ( see YOur IT people) And you hold the
recording. It is yours..i will sign a release if you need..i can say things you cannot. And that
allows you to have cause to address or make startements due to..

Not only that, but it would give you guys a dry run at an open unpredictable public involvement
forum~we could clean out all of the fuzzy talk
Then, instead of trying to remember all of the verbage, you can relax and go back to the recorded
talk and review at your own pace,, ( a computer input can be managed and sent much much
better„,its the only way to record !) or helll, set up a video cam with mikes„so you can critique
yourselves...and get the recording too..
I think Alaska is like a War— You can have ONE great big army or you can have 2 or 3 armies
moving in different theaters of operations,,, I think OIL AND GAS MENTALITY is Strangling
ALASKAS REAL POTENTlAL.(the oil and gas boys have checkmated em and they are in
denial).. But you could have theoretically 3to 5 simultaneous economies moving at the same
time!
/ wouold want to march with Hydro- Electric Force... You people are there, you just dont see
your potentials-its here, its humongous, and no matter what fossil fuels does you cannot
lose....«Alaskas hydroelectric is its backbone! This backbone will, just as in your body allows a
large body of activities to occur..

price volatility-instability-accountability, ownership, control, management, impacts,

demands of us, that, we,
as the general citizens whos God given rights of ownership in common benefit,
precede all less than best beneficial contracts, and,
are the rightfull owners, stewards, and guardians of all resources; including, but not

leaders; all leaders, to intervene and bring about public debate and dialog for the
resolution and determination so as to bring about clean and reasonable energy reliability,
access, and viability for our residential sector with all due haste...
We find this directive necessary in light of the Most recent event:
"Global Oil Companies publicly and officialy notify Alaskans the resources of the
state are thiers until they say or agree that they are not.The state drafted a contract
in the Global Oil Companies favor". ...(these are my interpretations ! pdk)
Gentlemen, and ladies-
The reason we are in this "growing and becoming more unpredictable" energy
delima predicament is because we have not been attending to, and are not now, attending
to our "Life Essential Energy Needs" design and consruction.
The public servants, the corporations, you guys, and us the general citizenry have
failed. And, them, you, and us have failed miserably and undeniably.
It is time to end this dark sided and never ending morass of energy instability and
uncertainty impacting our homes and loved ones.
This is not about Republican or Democrat — .
.Its about "Our Homes & Childrens Future Alaska" .--"Life Essential Energy Needs"

Thank you so much not vetoeing support for the Turnagain Elementary computer lab!
The parents have tried fundraising, and it is expensive to bring an old school with no computer facilities
or wiring even up to a point where one class at a time can use the computers. After a successful year of
fundraising in 2006- 2007, we did finally have 20 computers for students at the school, but still not a

Subject: Support Elementary School computer lab- Turnagain Elementary
Please do not veto money for the Turnagain Elementary school computer lab that is currently in SB
221.
I know there are a number of schools asking for computer money. Generally, l support this spending
to bring technology to our children. I feel that computer skills are an area that will be critical for our
children to learn. However, schools are going to find it difficult to allocate funds for computers
because they are expensive, and these skills are not specifically tested on standardized tests. I fee)
this is not an area that parents can hold bake sales to buy computers for the schools, and it is unlikely
that school districts will specificially allocate funds to this area. I think computers and learning
software in the schools will improve the education of our children, and I hope the state will fund these
areas.
Specifically, I support funding for Turnagain elementary and I recognize that we need government
help to begin to bring these computers to my son's school. Our school is one of the oldest schools in
Anchorage & probably one of the older schools still operating in Alaska. We have only a tiny fraction
of the average number of computers in an Anchorage school. The parents have tried fundraising, and
it is too expensive to bring an old school with no computer facilities or wiring even up to a point where
one class at a time can use the computers. Last year, the parents group did fundraising activities &
more fundraising activities. We successfully raised over $20,000, and we still don't have a full set of
computers so that each student in a class can use the computer. These computers and reading

software sets are very popular with specialists or someone. After all this fundraising, my son's class was not
able to schedule one session with the computers.
As I said before, I hope the state will fund these areas. Without state assistance, I don't see computers coming
to my son's school until we have a bond, package and I am not hopeful that will happen anytime soon.
Wow, this was the first time ) have actually looked through all the appropriations in one of these bills. Good
luck sorting that out!

Subject: AGIA Forum Speech
Good morning, Governor.
Attached is the forum speech that should last roughly 25 minutes
Kurt and Bruce have reviewed and marked it. This speech is in its final form from us. As
you will see, Thursday's speech was the foundation for this speech and much of the basis
of the Forum speech comes from the press conference remarks. Where this speech differs is
in the expansion of the details to address some of the critics over the last few days in a
very positive way.
Do not hesitate to repeat yourself. This speech should sound more like your State of the
State address in that this is the first time many in the public, including legislators,
will hear your words directly from you and not deciphered through the media. This speech
will reach not only those here in town, but throughout our state, including in our rural
villages. This is the first time in awhile that many will hear you speaking about this so
you want to make sure that the whole package is there and explained thoroughly for those
watching. Additionally, this is the speech that will be recorded for historical purposes
and so a complete picture for those purposes is important as well.
PRA GSP01 0018329
Please let us know if you have any questions / changes.
Thanks ,
Meg

Sub j ect : Re : Military
Not your fault be it was confirmed for the event organizer that someone from the Gov's ^
office would be there (as evidenced by their printed program announcing Gov's Proclamation
following Pres Proclamation), if not me then someone else... so if I had not been able to
attend surely someone on staff (Mark, Colleen, Rosanne, Jerry, McHugh, etc) was planning
on being there - and someone would have the proclamation in hand. I was worried that
something happened to Jerry (or McHugh) on the way out, as he was on board to do the
Valley event, per Kris and Janice's email from that morning.
We can make sure event organizers have in their possession a copy of proc's in the future
- I noticed her binder had not only her talking points but all items others were planning
to present.
Also, with that event, I could have done both the Anchorage and Valley events afterall,
as Stevens attended both and wasn't late for ours... I had been under the impression we
couldn't do the big Anchorage event be a choice had to be made due to their overlapping.
Hopefully we can sched better these external events that mean a lot to folks so I can do
as much as possible for them. Thanks

On the proclamation, I have to take full responsibility. I should have had Abby print

with the proclamation. In the future, I will have proclamations printed out and forwarded

Not your fault be it was confirmed for the event organizer that someone from the Gov's
office would be there (as evidenced by their printed program announcing Gov's Proclamation
following Pres Proclamation)/ if not me then someone else... so if I had not been able to
attend surely someone on staff {Mark, Colleen, Rosanne, Jerry, McHugh, etc) was planning
on being there - and someone would have the proclamation in hand. I was worried that
something happened to Jerry (or McHugh) on the way out, as he was on board to do the
Valley event, per Kris and Janice's email from that morning.
We can make sure event organizers have in their possession a copy of proc's in the future
- I noticed her binder had not only her talking points but all items others were planning
to present.
Also, with that event, I could have done both the Anchorage and Valley events afterall, as
Stevens attended both and wasn't late for ours... I had been under the impression we
couldn't do the big Anchorage event be a choice had to be made due to their overlapping.
Hopefully we can sched better these external events that mean a lot to folks so I can do
as much as possible for them. Thanks

I will check with Kelly on a bill signing event for the hunting / fishing licenses
On the proclamation, I have to take full responsibility. I should have had Abby print out
the proclamation and get a copy on your desk. I also thought Mr. Beale would attend with
the proclamation. In the future, I will have proclamations printed out and forwarded to
Kris to hold.

Rosanne- as more attention is given to external communications and events, things like
this event (and the opportunity for a good event to sign bill for military hunting/fishing
PRA GSP01 0018358
lie) can be better orchestrated and we can feel more comfortable knowing I's are dotted
and T ? s crossed. I look forward to having us all be able to concentrate on more external
comm so we can really get out there to our constituents and let them know we're serving
them in such a variety of ways (it's not just AGIA all the time, they need to know! :) )
It seems we're missing opportunities to tell alaskans the good things going on in the
state, we need to shift gears and get into that mode.

Sub j ect : Re : Military
Not your fault be it was confirmed for the event organizer that someone from the Gov's
office would be there (as evidenced by their printed program announcing Gov's Proclamation
following Pres Proclamation), if not me then someone else... so if I had not been able to
attend surely someone on staff (Mark r Colleen/ Rosanne, Jerry, McHugh, etc) was planning
on being there - and someone would have the proclamation in hand. I was worried that
something happened to Jerry (or McHugh) on the way out, as he was on board to do the
Valley event, per Kris and Janice's email from that morning.
We can make sure event organizers have in their possession a copy of proc's in the future
- I noticed her binder had not only her talking points but all items others were planning
to present.
Also, with that event, I could have done both the Anchorage and Valley events afterall, as
Stevens attended both and wasn't late for ours... I had been under the impression we
couldn't do the big Anchorage event be a choice had to be made due to their overlapping.
Hopefully we can sched better these external events that mean a lot to folks so I can do
as much as possible for them. Thanks

I will check with Kelly on a bill signing event for the hunting / fishing licenses.
On the proclamation, I have to take full responsibility. I should have had Abby print out
the proclamation and get a copy on your desk. I also thought Mr. Beale would attend with
the proclamation. In the future, I will have proclamations printed out and forwarded to
Kris to hold.

Rosanne- as more attention is given to external communications and events, things like
this event (and the opportunity for a good event to sign bill for military hunting/fishing
lie) can be better orchestrated and we can feel more comfortable knowing I's are dotted
and T's crossed. I look forward to having us all be able to concentrate on more external
comm so we can really get out there to our constituents and let them know we 1 re serving
them in such a variety of ways (it's not just AGIA all the time, they need to know* :) ) .
It seems we're missing opportunities to tell alaskans the good things going on in the
state, we need to shift gears and get into that mode.

Dear Governor Pallin,
I'm writing to ask you to approve funding for the Kincaid Park Project
in the Capital Budget.
This is an investment that fits squarely under the government's
obligation to promote the general welfare. With governments
increasingly playing roles in funding treatment of and dealing with
mental and physical health problems that are in part attributable to
insufficient activity, a wise government will invest in developing
healthy active recreational venues for its citizens. Kincaid is an
investment that will ,j?ay tremendous public health dividends for the
community. And the benefits extend beyond the wholly sufficient
objective of promoting public health-. A world class nordic ski
facility stands to bring much attention and visitors to Anchorage in
coming years, which will benefit the local economy .

Subject: Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing / Cathy Roemmich - MTAB
Governor:
The Senate Judiciary Committee hearing was full of inaccurate allegations by the union. I spoke with Joe and I
think he fended the attacks off fairly well. However, media and reporters who want to try and make a headline
probably have a lot of comments from the union to pick from. Hopefully, they will report Joe's comments as well.
Union manager Brad Wilson again misrepresented the content and results of his meeting with Mike Nizich and
myself. The only request the union made at our meeting was a demand that Joe be fired immediately. Within
days, we arranged a meeting with Joe where the union could discuss and hopefully resolve some of its issues.
The union refused to attend.
I think the bottom line with most of the legislators at the committee hearing is they want the union to get back to
the table and work with Joe. Joe again stated he is willing to meet with the union and we are looking at using a
federal mediation service for a meeting at the end of June. The union has now hired Paul Fuhs as its lobbyist.
Ramras was particularly rude to Joe in his comments during the hearing.
Randy
On another note, Cathy Roemmich, Chair of MTAB asked that I pass along her appreciation for the funding in the
budget for the ferry system and will be sending a thank-you letter in this week.

Governor,
After tomorrow, we will have 10 bills to sign by next Wednesday, June 4th. With AGIA
being the main focus, I thought it might be a good idea to schedule one-hour on Wednesday
morning and possibly a media event at noon in Juneau for bill signing. I have already
checked with Janice and your schedule is available as long as you are in Juneau.

Another alternative would be to pull all/any bills to do with crime and hold one media-
related signing ceremony in Juneau — probably the Governor's Conference Room unless
PRA GSP01 0018389
Commissioner Monegan has a better idea — relating to crime issues. This ceremony could be
sent out as a media advisory etc. If you'd like to do this, we'd need 30+ minutes on the
same day, Tuesday, June 4th to sign SB 211 (above), HB 268 (above), SB 265 (Criminal
omnibus bill), and perhaps HB 88 (TVs/monitors in vehicles), HB 193 (Police Standards
Council), HB 286 (impersonating a public servant), and a few others I'll discuss with DPS.
If you like this as well, we could do this around the lunch hour so legislators could
attend and not miss AGIA hearings: Wednesday, June 4th at noon for 30+ minutes.
Please let me know how you would like to proceed.
Thanks, Kelly
PS After this grouping is attended to, the next set of 14 bills will be due by Monday,
June 9th; although not all require a signing event.

Governor,
Sounds like today was, well, a challenge. I and others let you down, and I apologize.
Just got off the phone with Meg, we were trying to come up with a methodology to ensure
you are not left unprepared again. An interesting (and maddening) dynamic, with too many
cooks in the kitchen, but they're all in the backyard when you need one. We can fix that.
If it is any consolation, it went great in Kenai — rave support for our process and TC
Alaska at a jam-packed Chamber and on KSRM. I think the others experienced similar
results elsewhere at te big events.
Two points :
First, as to your Forbes interview on Thursday, Meg and I will ensure your have notes in
hand tomorrow, as well as an assistant to be with you during the interview. Is there
somebody specific you request? We can turn whoever you need loose from the Forum. I
strongly recommend Marty.
Second, re your Forum speech tomorrow, Meg said that Kris had passed along that you are
not interested in "reading another book." I agree* You've been there done that re the

minutiae of the findings. I would suggest something very simple, basically just an

By Tom Donohue
Last week we discussed how America is having the wrong
conversation about health care-one that does not
comprehensively address all of our major health care
challenges and sets the wrong expectations for the
American people. This week we examine how to build and
maintain the best health care system in the world, improving
access, quality, and affbrdability for ail.
Lets start with the single biggest barrier that puts coverage out of reach for
many families and employers-costs.
Join the conversation.

Hi fellow vets and wives and moms,
Happy Memorial day to you all and a short thought for the ones who are not
with us. I can't believe how long my vet pal address list is! Good folks all.
All is well with the Terry Luther family here in beautiful Alaska. It is a 65
degree day here with sunshine and blue sky. A CAVU day for sure in pilot
language.
I felt a nostalgic thought this morning as I sent son Shaun off to fight
wildfires. He's a State of Alaska Type 2 Initial Attack Team member and loves
it immensely. As he went out the door with nomex, backpack and all (50#
backpack) I thanked God he wasn't also carrying a M-16 and had a USMC/US
Army something on his nomex shirt. I can't reconcile myself to him being at
risk as I was, and many of you were, for so many years. A dad's failing I
guess. He's a very extraordinary young man bound for Cal Poly to be an
Aerospace Engineer in September.
My God! I'll be alone with Cindy!!!!
My prayers are with all of you. A from the heart thanks for what you've done
for America.
Our best,
Terry, Cindy and Shaun

Dear Ms. Rutherford,
You and I had a discussion yesterday about where physically the petro-
chemicals would be scrubbed out of the gas line going to Alberta. The end
result is (as you stated) that would be accomplished in Alberta and we
would receive our rightful share probably 1/8 th or 12-1/2% as a guess.
Then you went on to state if the gas went to Asia (Pacific Rim) that they
wanted "hot" gas and the only petro-chemical we could scrub out is I
believe propane?
I thought the whole thrust of the State was to provide "value added" jobs for
all Alaskans? How can this be accomplished when the all of the scrubbing
is going to be done in Alberta? We have rail, water shipping ports galore in
Alaska. We have to do the petro-chemical extraction strictly within Alaska
and charge the oil companies 87-1/2 % of our cost for this service!
The "hot" gas issue to Asia doesn't meet the acid test in my opinion. In
Nikiski we already strip out the petro-chemicals and ship the resulting dry
gas to Japan. We have done this for many years.
I feel that Trans-Canada has earned the right to be the prime pipeline
contractor for whatever project happens within the State of Alaska but with
the "caveat" of a total Alaska workforce hire, period. Trans Canada is
experienced the Canadian Arctic.
It seems like you have a preconceived agenda for Alberta and that's not fair
to all Alaskans. You stated Asia wanted "hot" gas as referenced supra. I
suspect the meetings you and your team are holding statewide are more
"dog and pony shows" strictly for Alberta!
The legislature I hope will look closely at all options instead of strictly
focusing on Alberta.
I am fast getting the impression that the petro-chemicals are more valuable
than the "dry" gas. You in my opinion may have "tunnel vision" in-so-far as
(what is "just" for all working Alaskans) by strictly focusing on Alberta for

provided by the state's scientists, before the science arrived in the hands of

An open and transparent administration would release the scientists' analysis
unfiltered, wouldn't it? (yes, that was an editorial statement - in case you're wondering
where this is likely headed. . . . )

Shoot- I was thinking June was the month that became available for th KA. (I must have
been wishing instead of listening to you!).
The bbq sounds great. Todd and I need to find available seats then to get down there. We
can't travel the day before b/c Monday will be an interview day in Anchorage (and bill
signing). If there are no tuesday fits then we'll do the bbq the next day.
I trust you two will notify Erika re: her role in organizing the event.
I've been waiting to hear on the AGIA sched also so I can know if I'm coming or going down
there. We'll be doing bill signings in different areas in June- probably following the
path of lawmakers who plan to take AGIA on the road, as they've promised to do.

I am not sure what your pl an is for the beginning of the session in terms o f being in
Juneau, i would recommend [Privileged or Personal Material Redacted fc know Kelly was
going to talk with you about your schedule.
I also wanted to suggest that you invite Legislators to a reception at the house for a
catered BBQ of sorts, Tuesday night (hope the weather is still good) just to welcome them
back etc. I talked to Kelly this morning and she too thought that might be a good idea.
I asked for a Legislative plan for AGIA and have not seen one yet. I requested that Pat
and Tom put together an agenda, calendar, and a current vote count as they see it. I have
not seen anything from them yet. I know they were busy with the AGIA presentation this
week but Pat and Joe thought they could have something to me today.
As for the Public Safety plane, (King Air) I indicated to you last week that Walt said the
plane would be available to you July 1st. I will work with Kris and Janice to see if we
can map out a rural community tour for you during July and August. I will also have a
better idea on charter plane costs to see if that will be a viable alternative for
consideration for the month of June or to supplement your July and August travel.
I will be in Anchorage tomorrow and Friday.

Subject: Talking points - polar bears
PRA GSP01 0018432
Talking Points - Polar Bears
U.S. Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthome has decided to list the polar bear as threatened
under the Endangered Species Act.
The State of Alaska intends to sue. WHY?
I'm not a scientist, so I won't be addressing the science,- per se. But, in general, our
reasoning is:
The evidence is not there to support this listing.
Polar bear populations, right now, have increased dramatically over the last 30
years. That has happened because the Marine Mammal Protection Act has worked. It's done
its job.
Listing the polar bear under the Endangered . Species Act is not going to provide
any ADDITIONAL protection for these magnificent animals.
This listing is based on speculation - on computer models forecasting the effects
of global warming on the polar bear far into the future.
The bottom line is, the Endangered Species Act is not the right tool to address
impacts to a species from climate change.
Now, the Secretary did recognize that oil and gas activities are already regulated
under the Marine Mammal Protection Act to prevent impacts to the polar bear and do not
pose a threat to the polar bear - so there is an exemption there, and we appreciate that,
BUT ...
As Governor of Alaska, my priority is to ensure that in all our decision making,
we must balance the need to preserve and protect our incredible wildlife with careful and
responsible development of Alaska's vast natural resources. Alaska is a resource-rich
state, and resource development fuels our state's economy. And that means jobs for our
people, a strong, healthy economy now and for the future, too. For our children and our
grandchildren. If the environmentalists have their way and oil and gas development are
shut down on Alaska's North Slope, the economic impact to our state would be catastrophic.
So there's a lot at stake. And not only just for Alaska, but for America, as we are facing
record-high fuel prices.
PRA GSP01 0018433
While the State of Alaska is challenging this listing, we remain committed to
ensuring that Alaska's polar bears are conserved. We will continue to monitor Alaska's
polar bear populations and their behaviors in relation to changing sea ice conditions.
As soon as Secretary Kempthorne issued his decision to list the Polar Bear as
Threatened, the Governor directed the Department of Law to review the decision.
While we appreciate the secretary's recognition that oil and gas activities are
already regulated under the Marine Mammal Protection Act to prevent impacts to the polar
bear, and do not pose a threat to the polar bear, we believe that the decision to list was
fundamentally a bad decision.
DOL is currently working on a draft civil complaint challenging the listing
determination under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) .
DOL is continuing to monitor the ongoing litigation (CBD case) related to the polar bear
in the Northern District of California, and will consider intervention in that lawsuit if
it becomes clear that the court in that case intends to address substantive rather than
just procedural issues.
We believe that:
the secretary erred in his unprecedented listing of a currently healthy
population based on uncertain modeling of future climate change and even more uncertain
speculation regarding impacts of that change.
the secretary's decision to list a currently healthy species was not based solely
on the best available scientific and commercial information as required by the ESA
The agency violated the ESA by failing to base its decision "solely on the basis
of the best scientific and commercial data available

Subject: SB 202 Information
NOTE: this letter will NOT be public until tomorrow,
Attached is the letter Governor Palin signed today allowing SB 202
become law without signature. As I explained it to the sponsor's staff
(George in Sen. Wielechowski's office), it provided a way for the
Governor to make a statement and agree with the sponsor of the bill and
still expand on additional concerns in the areas of privacy, the federal
government forcing state's action and Alaskan's ability to oversee its
own identification system.
It is important to say the Governor agrees with Sen Wielechowski
approach with SB 202; however the overall issue of REAL ID is still
unresolved.
In my opinion, this should be shared in a positive manner — Alaskans
are concerned about personal privacy and the Governor's agrees.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks so much

U.S. Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne has decided to list the polar bear as threatened
under the Endangered Species Act.
The State of Alaska intends to sue. WHY?
I'm not a scientist, so I won't be addressing the science, per se. But, in general, our
reasoning is:
The evidence is not there to support this listing
Polar bear populations, right now, have increased dramatically over the last 30
years. That has happened because the Marine Mammal Protection Act has worked. It's done
its job.
Listing the polar bear under the Endangered Species Act is not going to provide
any ADDITIONAL protection for these magnificent animals.
PRA GSP01 0018449
This listing is based on speculation — on computer models forecasting the effects
of global warming on the polar bear far into the future.
The bottom line is, the Endangered Species Act is not the right tool to address
impacts to a species from climate change.
Now, the Secretary did recognize that oil and gas activities are already regulated
under the Marine Mammal Protection Act to prevent impacts to the polar bear and do not
pose a threat to the polar bear - so there is an exemption there, and we appreciate that,
BUT .„
As Governor of Alaska, my priority is to ensure that in all our decision making,
we must balance the need to preserve and protect our incredible wildlife with careful and
responsible development of Alaska's vast natural resources. Alaska is a resource-rich
state, and resource development fuels our state's economy. And that means jobs for our
people, a strong, healthy economy now and for the future, too. For our children and our
grandchildren. If the environmentalists have their way and oil and gas development are
shut down on Alaska's North Slope, the economic impact to our state would be catastrophic.
So there's a lot at stake. And not only just for Alaska, but for America, as we are facing
record-high fuel prices. '
While the State of Alaska is challenging this listing, we remain committed to
ensuring that Alaska's polar bears are conserved. We will continue to monitor Alaska's
polar bear populations and their behaviors in relation to changing sea ice conditions.
As soon as Secretary Kempthorne issued his decision to list the Polar Bear as
Threatened, the Governor directed the Department of Law to review the decision.
While we appreciate the secretary's recognition that oil and gas activities are
already regulated under the Marine Mammal Protection Act to prevent impacts to the polar
bear, and do not pose a threat to the polar bear, we believe that the decision to list was
fundamentally a bad decision.
DOL is currently working on a draft civil complaint challenging the listing
determination under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) .
DOL is continuing to monitor the ongoing litigation (CBD case) related to the polar bear
in the Northern District of California, and will consider intervention in that lawsuit if
it becomes clear that the court in that case intends to address substantive rather than
just procedural issues.
We believe that:
PRA GSP01 0018450
the secretary erred in his unprecedented listing of a currently healthy
population based on uncertain modeling of future climate change and even more uncertain
speculation regarding impacts of that change.
the secretary's decision to list a currently healthy species was not based solely
on the best available scientific and commercial information as required by the ESA
The agency violated the ESA by failing to base its decision "solely on the basis
of the best scientific and commercial data available

development. We acted to avoid having a bad decision become worse. Talis.

All,
Governor Palin has been invited to be on Fox News and CNN ? s Glenn Beck show tomorrow to
.talk about the polar bear listing. The Governor wanted iue to check with all of you to get
your feedback on whether she should do the interviews. Also, the Anchorage Daily News
editorial board is inquiring about the state's analysis of the science behind the listing
- see below.
Any feedback you can provide would be appreciated
Thanks
Sharon,
Apropos of the story about Rick Steiner and his request for info about the state's
analysis of the federal science behind the polar bear listing - I would like to see what
the state's scientists said about it. If the governor is choosing not to release what the
6
PRA GSP01 0018458
scientists said, I'd like to know why. Science is best done out in the open, where the
work can be critiqued, no? This seems like a case where any "deliberative process"
exemption should be waived in the public interest, so the public can see the science
provided by the state's scientists, before the science arrived in the hands of
politicians.
An open and transparent administration would release the scientists 1 analysis
unfiltered, wouldn't it? {yes, that was an editorial statement - in case you're wondering
where this is likely headed....)

30 years it has broken my heart whenever there was a drowning in
this area and that will continue as I know if folks get water safety

Dear Governor Pallin,
I'm writing to ask you to approve funding for the Kincaid Park Project
in the Capital Budget.
This is an investment that fits squarely under the government ' s
obligation to promote the general welfare. With governments
increasingly playing roles in funding treatment of and dealing with
mental and physical health problems that are in part attributable to
insufficient activity, a wise government will invest in developing
healthy active recreational venues for its citizens. Kincaid is an
investment that will pay tremendous public health dividends for the
community. And the benefits extend beyond the wholly sufficient
objective of promoting public health. A world class nordic ski
facility stands to bring much attention and visitors to Anchorage in
coming years, which will benefit the local economy.

Governor,
Sounds like today was, well, a challenge. I and others let you down, and I apologize.
Just got off the phone with Meg, we were trying to come up with a methodology to ensure
you are not left, unprepared again. An interesting (and maddening) dynamic, with too many
cooks in the kitchen, but they're all in the backyard when you need one. We can fix that,
If it is any consolation, it went great in Kenai — rave support for our process and TC
Alaska at a jam-packed Chamber and on KSRM. I think the others experienced similar
results elsewhere at te big events.
Two points:
First, as to your Forbes interview on Thursday, Meg and I will ensure your have notes in
hand tomorrow, as well' as an assistant to be with you during the interview. Is there
somebody specific you request? We can turn whoever you need loose from the Forum. I
strongly recommend Marty.
PRA GSP01 0018467
Second, re your Forum speech tomorrow, Meg said that Kris had passed along that you are
not interested in "reading another book." I agree. You've been there done that re the
minutiae of the findings. I would suggest something very simple, basically just an
introduction, along these lines:
Let me know if you would like Meg or my help. We stand ready to assist.

If possible we need to include something on how the huge Ed funding should 've alleviated
the need for all of these individual tiny projects to get funded. I hear over and over

in how funds ae distributed within district.

Subject: Budget
K- pis draft a letter-to-editor (225 words max) summarizing budget. Unless someone's done
the op-ed already. . .
We really need to message this right (hopefully it's not too late to do so) re: "cuts" in
so many cases were not CUTS to exisiting levels of operating funds, they were reductions
in the increased requests by lawmakers.
Also, the letter needs to explain our desire for balance along with the other principles
we used to prioritize.
Also to remind pers/trs relief, increased muni shares, huge savings. Alll those things
were lost in mainstream media coverage of our budget.
A sentence in there must explain we have just allocated the largest amount of money, ever
in state's history, for education (and still it's bickered about that it's not enough, so
says a mayor or official or two) I

Governor,
Sounds like today was, well, a challenge. I and others let you down, and I apologize.
Just got off the phone with Meg, we were trying to come up with a methodology to ensure
you are not left unprepared again. An interesting (and maddening) dynamic, with too many
cooks in the kitchen, but they're all in the backyard when you need one. We can fix that
If it is any consolation, it went great in Kenai — rave support for our process and TC
Alaska at a jam-packed Chamber and on KSRM. I think the others experienced similar
results elsewhere at te big events.
Two points:
First, as to your Forbes interview on Thursday, Meg and I will ensure your have notes in
hand tomorrow, as well as an assistant to be with you during the interview. Is there
somebody specific you request? We can turn whoever you need loose from the Forum. I
strongly recommend Marty,
Second, re your Forum speech tomorrow, Meg said that Kris had passed along that you are
not interested in "reading another book." I agree. You've been there done that re the
minutiae of the findings. I would suggest something very simple, basically just an
introduction, along these lines:

Sharon,
Apropos of the story about Rick Steiner and his request for info about the stated
analysis of the federal science behind the polar bear listing - I would like to see what
the state's scientists said about it. If the governor is choosing not to release what the
scientists said, I'd like to know why. Science is best done out in the open, where the
work can be critiqued, no? This seems like a case where any "deliberative process"
exemption should be waived in the public interest, so the public can see the science
provided by the state's scientists, before the science arrived in the hands of
politicians.
An open and transparent administration would release the scientists 1 analysis
unfiltered, wouldn't it? {yes f that was an editorial statement - in case you're wondering
where this is likely headed....)

Subject: E-Mail from Hawaii AG Mark Bennett
Dear Attorney General Colberg:
I am e-mailing (and also separately writing) to ask you to please join the
amicus brief Washington (Jay D. Geek, Deputy Solicitor General (360) 586-2697,
jayg@atg.wa.gov) is writing on behalf of Hawaii, asking the Supreme Court to grant
certiorari in the case of Hawaii v. Office of Hawaiian Affairs (Hawaii's petition was
authored by former Solicitor General Seth Waxman) . The deadline for signing on is Friday,
May 30, 2008, and the amicus brief will be filed Monday, June 2, 2008, I believe all
states have a significant interest in the issues raised by this case.
As with every state admitted to the Union after the original thirteen
colonies, the United States granted Hawaii lands at statehood. These lands amount to
about one-third of the entire land area of Hawaii and almost all land now owned by Hawaii.
In 1993, Congress passed a symbolic resolution apologizing for the United States *s role in
the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy. Congress has, more than once, considered or
adopted words of apology for historic wrongs visited upon the aboriginal inhabitants of
North America, and there are more such resolutions pending and possible in the future —
resolutions that could affect many states.
The Hawaii Supreme Court held that this symbolic resolution was direct action
by the Congress stripping Hawaii of its sovereign authority to sell or transfer the lands
Hawaii received at statehood from the United States, unless and until Hawaii reaches a
political settlement with native Hawaiians about the status of that land and aboriginal
claims regarding that land.
PRA GSP01 0018523
The Hawaii Supreme Court ruling wrongly turned an apology from Congress into
a federal law that has impaired state sovereignty, state law ownership, and the prudent
management of state lands. The Supreme Court of Hawaii's interpretation of the Apology
Act should be reviewed by the Supreme Court because, under core values of federalism, the
Hawaii court's interpretation is inconsistent with limits on Congressional powers to alter
a sovereign state's title to lands granted at statehood.
The United States Supreme Court's correction of this erroneous decision will
inure to the benefit of all states, as clearly the powers attributed by the Hawaii Supreme
Court to the Congress are powers that the Congress does not possess.
An amicus memorandum has been distributed by NAAG, and a draft amicus brief
will shortly be circulated by Washington. Please feel free to call me directly on this
matter (808) 586-1282 (w) or (808) 372-1404 (c) .
This matter is extremely important to Hawaii, and I would very much
appreciate it if you are able to join Washington's amicus brief.

Re: Lyda
The letter needs to very concisely state that I am repsectfully requesting her to share
"her plan" to get both bills on the floor so we don't waste her valuable time while in
Juneau. She needs to share more than just her idea to this time go around Judiciary, as
she stated-quote- "Hollis has no power." (That was her "plan" last time I spoke to her)

Briefing for Clem Tillion Meeting today, Thurs., 05.29.08 at 10:30 a.m. - ANC Governor's Office of The
Governor (received from Cora Crome). I will have copy printed out for you this morning at the office.
Clem has made it known that he wants the Governor to make a statement about supporting small boat
fisheries and onshore processing that he can take to the Board of Fish and the legislature to advance
his agenda. He is a representative of the City of Adak, which relies heavily on fish taxes from their only
processor, Adak Fisheries, for operating revenue. Adak currently has a population of around 140
people and has struggled to establish itself as a viable community since the Aleut Corporation received
the island and naval facilities after the base closed in 1997.
Adak has consistently asked for special fishing and processing rights from Congress, the North Pacific
Council, and the Board of Fisheries. Congress, through a Stevens rider, granted the Aleut corporation
exclusive rights to catch a percentage of the pollock available in the Aleutian Islands. This was
controversial since Ben Stevens held an option to buy a portion of Adak Fisheries at the time, the value
of which was probably increased by the pollock allocation. The Board of Fisheries has taken several
actions to provide a state waters cod fishery in the area. However, Adak continues to struggle due to
difficulties with their processor and competition from other communities and processors.
Clem would like more crab to be processed in Adak. We are in the process at the North Pacific
Council of amending the crab program to make more crab available for processing at Adak, so this
concern is being addressed,
He also wants an exclusive right to process cod for Adak fisheries. I have told Clem that while we will
work to encourage cod processing in Adak, we will not grant them a monopoly and force fishermen to
deliver to their processor. Instead, we are working through the council process to make some smaller
changes to encourage more processing onshore.
His other goal is to develop a small boat cod fishery near Adak. The Board of Fish can consider
whether to limit the cod fishery to smaller vessels in order to help develop the small boat fleet in Adak.
I have told Clem I believe they are willing to consider it and have discussed the concept with the chair
and vice-chair of the board.
In short, we are working to meet every reasonable request Clem has made.
The topic of council appointments may also come up. Clem is no fan of Gerry Merrigan because Gerry
refuses to go along with Clem's agenda. I have told Clem that it is too early to decide whether to
reappoint someone whose term doesn't expire until August 2009. Gerry is a knowledgeable, hard
working council member who has a lot of support from other fishermen and groups.

Michael Jeffery Named to Barrow Superior Court
PRA GSP01 0018551
May 29 , 2008, Anchorage, Alaska - Governor Sarah Palin today appointed Michael I. Jeffery
to the Barrow Superior Court.
Jeffery, 63, has lived in Barrow for 31 years and has a long record of legal service to
Barrow and North Slope villages. Originally from Los Angeles, he graduated from Stanford
University and Yale Law School before moving to Barrow in January 1977. He has specialized
training in alcohol/drug addiction and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.
"Michael brings a wealth of academic and professional experience to the bench, " Governor
Palin said. "The people of Barrow and the Alaska judicial system will be well-served by
his expertise and passion for the law."
Jeffery is active in Rotary Club International, faith activities, and an Eskimo dance
group. He and his wife, Esther, have three grown children. The family does commercial
setnet salmon fishing each summer near Dillingham.
Governor Palin chose Jeffery from a list of candidates submitted to her by the Alaska
Judicial Council. She made the selection from the Council's list within 45 days, as
required by the Alaska Constitution. The Judicial Council is an independent citizen's
commission created by the Alaska Constitution.

Message: Governor Palin;
I am on the board of Hilltop Ski Area (Youth Exploring Adventure Inc.). My kids have
used Hilltop for several years. Many don't know Hilltop is a non-profit corporation. We
do a lot for other good organizations - Special Olympics, Challenge Alaska, etc. We are
trying to be responsible and just paid off a loan from the Municipality of Anchorage
(ahead of time, with interest) .
Please keep us in this budget. The improvements to our first-aid function will greatly
increase safety and quality at Hilltop. The investment is small compared to the entire
state budget, and the rewards will be long-lasting. As a board we are committed to find
matching funds from the privates sector.
You have my support and prayer in all the responsibilities you carry for Alaska
Thanks for reading this and helping us.

Dan,
Received your letter dated 5/27/08 outlining AKDOT corrective action for oxidation on sign backs. Seems
a bit heavy handed to replace sign panels that have been up and directing the Alaska public
for the past seven months and show no sign of degeneration. The $60,00.00 warranty bond also seems
somewhat high for a job that totals about $72,000.00 and you have paid only $42,000.00.
It also flys in the face your offer to accept the job if the reflective sheeting manufacturer warranted their
product in spite of back of sign oxidation. See both attached letters. Yours and theirs. I also have
attached a new letter from my aluminum supplier backing up our claim and the accepted submittals you
already posses stating the chromate conversion coating has indeed been applied.
Taking into account this new information, if Jolt is still in non-conformance with Standard Secification 730-
2.01, please detail precisly what that non-conformance is.

Message: I hope that you do some thoughtful budget cutting. There is too much pork in
this year's budget. I remember when costly budgets led to local inflation and work for
even more non residents. Let's spread the money out over a longer period of time. Oil
prices will not be this high forever.
On the subject of an energy rebate card, I have mixed feelings about that but I
suggest that, if this comes to pass, you consider paying people in some areas of Alaska
more according to existing cost of living indexes or pay differentials. I strongly
support spending money on long term solutions to our energy costs. These should have a
long term payback. Examples are wind and hydroelectric power, some solar power,
geothermal, wave and tidal power and so forth. Not all of these things will pan out but
let's not be afraid to try something new. That would be superior to some of the above
referenced pork projects. Some subsidies for energy conservation new construction and
retrofits might be financially defensible also.
Lastly, please do not take up partial birth abortion during a special session.
This is a divisive emotional issue that is not very likely to be solved in a two week
period along with the main reason for any special session.

Dear Attorney General Colberg:
I am e-mailing (and also separately writing) to ask you to please join the
amicus brief Washington (Jay D. Geek, Deputy Solicitor General (360) 586-2697,
jayg@atg.wa.gov) is writing on behalf of Hawaii, asking the Supreme Court. to grant
certiorari in the case of Hawaii v. Office of Hawaiian Affairs (Hawaii's petition was
authored by former Solicitor General Seth Waxman) . The deadline for signing on is Friday,
May 30, 2008, and the amicus brief will be filed Monday, June 2, 2008. I believe all
states have a significant interest in the issues raised by this case.
As with every state admitted to the Union after the original thirteen
colonies, the United States granted Hawaii lands at statehood. These lands amount to
about one-third of the entire land area of Hawaii and almost all land now owned by Hawaii.
PRA GSP01 0018582
In 1993, Congress passed a symbolic resolution apologizing for the United States' s role in
the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy. Congress has, more than once, considered or
adopted words of apology for historic wrongs visited upon the aboriginal inhabitants of
North America, and there are more such resolutions pending and possible in the future —
resolutions that could affect many states.
The Hawaii Supreme Court held that this symbolic resolution was direct action
by the Congress stripping Hawaii of its sovereign authority to sell or transfer the lands
Hawaii received at statehood from the United States, unless and until Hawaii reaches a
political settlement with native Hawaiians about the status of that land and aboriginal
claims regarding that land.
The Hawaii Supreme Court ruling wrongly turned an apology from Congress into
a federal law that has impaired state sovereignty, state law ownership, and the prudent
management of state lands. The Supreme Court of Hawaii's interpretation of the Apology
Act should be reviewed by the Supreme Court because, under core values of federalism, the
Hawaii court's interpretation is inconsistent with limits on Congressional powers to alter
a sovereign state's title to lands granted at statehood.
The United States Supreme Court's correction of this erroneous decision will
inure to the benefit of all states, as clearly the powers attributed by the Hawaii Supreme
Court to the Congress are powers that the Congress does not possess.
An amicus memorandum has been distributed by NAAG, and a draft amicus brief
will shortly be circulated by Washington. Please feel free to call me directly on this
matter (808) 586-1282 (w) or (808) 372-1404 (c) .
This matter is extremely important to Hawaii, and I would very much
appreciate it if you are able to join Washington's amicus brief.
Mark Bennett

I just wanted to write and express my thanks for allowing the funding for the Kincaid Park to remain in the
budget, I know that it's a very difficult job to figure out what stays and what doesn't and 1 don't envy your

Thank You so much for allowing the Kincaid funding to remain intact!!

Good Afternoon Governor Palin,
I am sending this e-mail as an indication of my support for the Kincaid Park Project
I understand that there is a proposed one million dollar figure in the capital budget that you are currently
reviewing and I would like to ask that you allow that one million dollars to remain in the budget and allow
this project to move forward and become a reality for the people that utilize this fine facility.
The Nordic skiing facilities as well as the soccer community Statewide will realize huge benefits from the
upgrade intended for Kincaid Park.

PRA GSP01 0018594
Kinkaid Park Project Page 2 of 2
The Anchorage soccer community is in desperate need of additional fields in order to host tournaments that
receive participation from communities around the State as well as the Yukon Territory, The Ina K tournament
( Alaska's largest ) will draw nearly 3,000 players and coaches during the first week in June and that tournament
is currently held in 4 or 5 different locations around the city because there are no soccer facilities in Anchorage
large enough to host this event.
Soccer is one of the most popular sports in the nation at this time and the continual increase in the numbers of
kids looking to get into playing soccer has placed a real burden on the already minimal facilities in Anchorage.
The Nordic skiing facility would also benefit greatly from being able to create it's own snow during our less than
predictable winter weather and the upgrades would allow us to host major Nordic events bringing even more
recognition to our wonderful State.
I really hope that you will give serious consideration to allowing this money to remain in the capital budget
Thanks for your consideration
Don Castle

CH2M HILL and Southwest Alaska Vocational an Education Center (SAVEC) would like to extend an
invitation to join us for the graduation of the Electrical training class on Saturday, 6/7. The ceremony will
begin at 5 pm at the SAVEC campus located on the King Salmon Air Force Base.
Our current program is similar to the previous class, General Maintenance Technicians, we taught in
March/April. CH2M HILL has again supplied instructors from our North Slope jobsite and will be
extending offers to ail students who successfully complete this three week course. We currently have 1 9
students participating and they represent a broad portion of Southwest Alaska. There are also two
individuals from Southeast attending our Electrical training.
This graduation will be an occasion to celebrate the many partnerships who have made it possible to train
and employ these Alaskan residents. On that same note, we would like to see what you can bring to the
table, literally. There will be dinner following the brief graduation ceremony and if you are interested in
bringing a dish to make this a potluck setting we will celebrate together.
We would also like to notify those who are flying into King Salmon that Pen Air and Alaska Airlines have
multiple flights that are conducive to making this a daytrip.
Please RSVP to Annette Wilson at annette@savec.ora if you plan to attend. Please let us know your
arrival time as shuttle service will be provided from the airport to SAVEC. Hope to see you here.

I'm looking at sched for the days I ? m in Juneau - there are a number of worthy events that

really want our office represented at as many events all around the state as possible, not
just in Juneau and Anchorage.
For Rhonda's consideration this week to represent me, there's the Holy Cross event, the
RurAL CAP event, Sealaska's event, and Chenega's event... plus others. Pis pass on to her.
Also, events like Friday's big VFW event- I won't be back for it in Anchorage but want to
make sure someone is there representing me.
There are big events all over and I want to make sure we have someone at as many of them
esp the big ones - as possible.

Subject: same sex marriages
Governor-
Just an FYI - AG Colberg interviewed with Channel 2 about same sex marriages. Also, the
Daily News is going to publish the budget op ed on Tuesday. The editors chopped about
half of the op ed saying most of the info had been covered in news stories. After much
debate, Frank Gerjevic agreed to reinstate a good portion of it. I haven't seen the final
version yet.
Thanks

Okay, I've been doing some research. Apparently there was an invitation from USDA to attend their agrict
breakfast meeting yesterday that the delegation attended. In addition there was an invite that Janice rec'd
emailed us on a ribbon cutting for the creamery but that it was noted that it was not the "official" event, anc
more formal, organized event would take place in the fall. I completely blew over that one, and I apologize.
However, it doesn't sound like the Board knew about it at all. I believe that USDA was involved in orchestr
this. Again, my apologies for the oversight

Subject: Jack Wheeler piece
Thought you might want to see this. It's a short piece from Jack Wheeler "to the point" report.
One politician deserving of HFR praise this week is Alaska governor Sarah Palin. To get an idea of
what a hero she is, here's the demonizing headline of today's (5/23) London Times: Protecting Polar
Bear Gets In The Way of Drilling F or Oil Says Governor . She actually has the guts to sue the Federates
for ludicrously listing polar bears as "threatened" when their population is exploding*
The whole entire purpose of the phony listing is to use the fascist Endangered Species Act (ESA) as a
rationale to prevent oil drilling - and Gov. Pallin is exposing it. As columnist George Will notes, with
this polar bear ruling, the enviro-fascists are now in a position to use the ESA to regulate anything.
So let's all toast Governor Sarah - not only the hottest governor in the US, but also the gutsiest No
wonder a lot of folks want her to be McCain's running-mate.

Governor,
I forgot to mention that the bill signing is taking place on a patch of gravel - I only
mention it because you might do well to wear a sturdier heel for better footing. I'll work
to include these details in your briefing book from now on in order to avoid extra emails

Kris,
I asked Sarah if she was interested in attending a Korean Community golf event per
the request of James Shin of Peters Creek Chevron. Sarah said she would like to attend if
she was in town and to schedule through you, I found out from James today that the golf
tournament is June 28th at Eagle Glen golf course on Eimendorf AFB. I let James know I
would contact you to see if it fits Sarah's schedule. Please let me know if it is a go or
no go. My cell is 227-5483 and James contact number is 727-5183.
Thank you, Kurt

I'm looking at sched for the days I'm in Juneau - there are a number of worthy events that
Rhonda has commented on... since I can't make these rural-oriented events that week she is
welcome and encouraged to go in my place. Pis make sure she's aware of the details of
these invitations. There are so many events all over the state these summer months, I
really want our office represented at as many events all around the state as possible, not
just in Juneau and Anchorage.
For Rhonda's consideration this week to represent me/ there's the Holy Cross event, the
RurAL CAP event, Sealaska's event, and Chenega's event... plus others. Pis pass on to her
Also, events like Friday's big VFW event- I won't be back for it in Anchorage but want to
make sure someone is there representing me.
There are big events all over and I want to make sure we have someone at as many of them
esp the big ones - as possible.
Attending as many as poss allows us to touch base w many communities and constituents as
we seek boards and commission members also, as we seek community priority input, etc. If I
can't be there pis run these invites by the LtGov so he's given the opportunity to attend

Message: I am disappointed in the thought you would consider cutting any part of the
capitol budget. At a time when there are record oil prices the state has tons of excess
money. Cuts makes no sense to me.
The legislators put money aside and there is still money to help projects around the
state. In the 80' s when the treasury was hurting I could understand hard to swallow cuts
but NOW is our chance to catch up. From villages who have been neglected to Anchorage the
corner stone of the state the needs are great. When I voted for you I thought you were the
people's governor but what I have seen is no different than Frank. Just a different power
ego .

that is already weak. Millions of small businesses and
families on tight budgets are struggling.

MESSAGE:
My name is Andromeda Romano-Lax. I'm an Alaska-based writer working on a publication about
the Tongass National Forest, with the cooperation of the Forest Service. It will be
published by Alaska Geographic.
I am hoping to include a large section of stand-alone quotes from a select number of
Southeast Alaska residents about their current feelings about — and hopes for — the
future of the Tongass National Forest. Would Governor Palin be willing to comment on the
following two questions?
1. What does the Tongass mean to you?
2. What do you see as the future of the Tongass?
PRA GSP01 0018663
I realize one could write entire essays on the subject, but a sentence or two will work
best in this context. Thanks in advance for your time.

Web mail from: Mr. Kevin Gray

MESSAGE:
Hello Governor
I am normally in agreement with your guiding principle regarding the size of the State of
Alaska's government and its budget. However, one of your veto's this year took me by
surprise. You vetoed approximately $1M to work on the roads in the Nancy Lake area
(specfically Kime Lane, Erica Lane, Amy and Linda Lane), and to bring them up to Matsu
Standards. Every supervisory entity including the MatSu area road boards, the Borough
itself, and the State had placed a high emphasis on the necessity for this project.
Everyone in the area was very upset, and frankly, taken aback by this veto. The area has
been neglected time and time again with respect to fixing these roads, and we felt that we
had gained some traction finally with the Road Board, and the Borough and the State. We
followed all of the rules and processes, and yet, in the end, once again our roads are
neglected, shoddy, and some of the worst in the area.
PRA GSP01 0018665
With the State bringing in Billions of dollars with the current price of oil, it seems to
me that a portion of these funds should be spent statewide upon Education and
Infrastructure while we can. I also believe very deeply in saving for the future (ie.
placing money in the permanent fund) . But it seems to me that a guiding principle of
lowering the State's budget should be focused upon the recurring expenses of the State,
and not one-time improvement projects such as this one that is badly needed.
Please consider replacing this budget item (Item # 274, Commerce, House District 15) .
Sincerely,
Kevin Gray
Constituent

Honorable Governor Palin,
Let me preface my comments by offering congratulation on the birth of your baby. May

PRA GSP01 0018679
you and your family enjoy every day with this new life.
Today I write in support of Ketchikan General Hospital's Surgical Suite expansion
and renovation project as requested by the City of Ketchikan, A6s recent request for
Legislative funding. I am currently a hospital employee and I serve the Regional
Executive Team here. As an employee I have had the privilege of serving the hospital
since 1993. Through those years, we have had many fine surgeons and have saved many a
life through the dedicated efforts and expertise of the clinical team here. The essential
update to our Surgical Suite (operating room and support areas) is necessary to continue
to provide quality care, retain and recruit surgeons, but most importantly to continue to
adequately care for our patients.
I believe that the City's request fits nicely into your priorities for capital projects
that support the health and safety of our Alaskan communities. I am hopeful that you '
will include our project in your final budget.
Sincerely,
Barb Bigelow
Director, Ketchikan General Hospital
Quality Services Department

Message: This will seem like an odd letter seeking your positive consideration, but I have
to admit, it's really several emails all rolled into one.
First, congratulations on the addition to your family, and your continued example of
someone who exhibits joy in living up to their personal ideals. The whole process is a
great story, and makes us all proud as Alaskans that you live here.
Second, I have to say that I'm among those that did not vote for you in the election.
Frankly and that's something of a pun.... I doubt I could have voted for any Republican
in this state until the party cleans up itself internally. It was not crystal clear
during the election if that was your real goal, or if it was all part of realigning party
politics, so I would have had a hard time voting for any Republican for governor.
But I was favorably impressed when you created a truly bi-partisan group of
administrators. Despite the early smoke that was blown by detractors, it is clear you
have an ethical group that is working on state goals rather than personal or party goals.
At the end of the legislative session in 2007, I experienced that pain of having $100,000
cut as you vetoed what are essentially " local earmarks" , and while I desperately
PRA GSP01 0018683
wanted that money to complete a process we've been working on for years, I think you were
right to do what you did, and I had to admit that I would have voted for you at that
point, still, as your attempts to change the party and the way the state does business
were apparent.
I was even more impressed this legislative season to see cross-partisan groups working
together. I was stunned to see legislators engaged in real debate in public, on the floor
and in committee sessions open to public view. To all of us that still believe in the
process, it was very heartening.
I was impressed when you spoke to the NEA Delegate Assembly using words like
"infrastructure" and "maintenance" . Those are not the special
programs and gifts that politicians use to get votes, and no public official ever got
plaque with their name on it for maintaining a building, but it is the good, solid
foundation the educational system needs in order to do their best work day after day.
Not that things are perfect, but if someone had described where we would be today to me
two years ago I would have said, "Yeah, sure" . I would not have imagined
such a shift in such a short period of time. And while I'm sure you would be among the
first to say that it is many people doing a lot of good work, you would be right, but it
could not have come to pass without the leadership and direction that you have provided.
Thank you for all you have done.
Which brings me around to the impetus for this email. I'm going to ask you not to veto,
again, a Legislative Grant by Representative Lynn, but I'll say up front I'll vote
for you again even if you do but I really hope you do not.
The monies for Goldenview Middle School are for building infrastructure in order to make
use of technology. PTSA has raised funds, we've taken donations of good, used computers,
teachers have written grants, ASD Departments have contributed, such that every teacher
now has an LCD projector in their classroom. It is a powerful teaching tool that has
benefits to all levels of students, . especially those with vision, hearing, or attention
issues.
We are using the tools, and teachers are making the transition to being multi-media
presenters, but
Our equipment is out on tables, cords run across the floor, equipment has to be pulled out
of place and replaced when other classroom activities take place. This all serves to make
the setup less reliable, and with your education connections, I suspect you know what
happens when class plans might or might not work.
They money we're seeking would 1) ceiling mount projectors so they are out of harms way,
and don't intrude on other uses of the classroom, and 2) do a professional installation of
all wiring so that it is not a trip hazard, is more reliable, and is not routinely pulled
apart and reassembled, and 3) complete the setups so that every teaching station has a
SmartBoard, a computer, and a sound system to go along with the projector. Along with the
purchase of some of the equipment, this involves electrical permitting and installation of
brackets above the classroom ceiling.
PRA GSP01 0018684
These are things that are very hard to fundraise for, and I think also something that -is
not the responsibility of parents. While Goldenview (at 12 years old) still feels new,
provision was not made for this during construction/ and given the large number of older
schools in Anchorage, it will be a long time before we come to the top of the priority
list for a remodel. The amount needed to do this work is such that ASD would normally
bond for it.
For two years, Mr. Lynn has made us a priority. I understand the desire to reduce these
grants, but I will emphasize this is not icing. Cake, maybe. It is not aesthetics,
but tools that go to the heart of preparing our students for the coming century. The
school, parents, teachers and the District have all done significant work, but we need
these grants to finish it out.
Please choose not to veto our funds again.
Thank you.

Message: Dear Governor Palin,
My name is Louisa Ortiz and I am a freshman at Ketchikan High School. This year I had the
privilege of playing for the Lady Kings soccer team. Of course, I had a great experience,
but I would also call it painful. I'm writing to you in support of a turf field in
Ketchikan, because honestly, it is way overdue. I've been playing soccer since I was five
years old, and every single year as the soccer season starts up, so do the torn up legs
and arms. I love soccer, and I would never let having to deal with the gravel stop me from
playing, but the truth is that the injuries my teammates and I sustain from falling and
sliding on the rocky surface, often times causes us to miss some of the games we have in
our short season. In soccer, the rule is: "no blood on the field'" Well, soccer
is a contact sport, and sometimes this means ending up on the ground. Playing on a gravel
field pretty much guarantees that for every fall there is going to be a bloody scrape, and
time spent on the bench. My team and I are tired of coming home from practices and games
with needless injuries. Their definitely a low point of an otherwise great game. We've
spent all of our soccer careers envying Juneau's turf, and wishing we could magically fly
up to play all of our games there. . But the real solution is to build a turf field for
our selves. Just last weekend, we played a series of home games against Juneau and I
really cut up both of my knees and hip badly. From experience, I would guess that the
scars are going to last for a couple of months. If we had had a turf field here, maybe
this wouldn't have happened. It's not this that I care about the most though. Like I've
said, I've learned to deal with the blood. It's the fact that a turf field in Ketchikan
would improve our program, and let us play, without worries, soccer with the intensity
that we're capable of.
PRA GSP01 0018686
I admire the improvements you have made in our home state as Alaska's first female
Governor, and I hope you give some serious thought to funding this needed project.
Sincerely,
Louisa Ortiz

Yes, unless there are a few more things we can do in Anchorage office- I may need to touch
base with a few staffers on some things... and some stuff is heating up with leggies'
races (deadline for filing today) that I may be asked to comment on (and I'm happy to do
so) , including the GOP trying to enforce and old GOP bylaw - newly discovered - that
prohibits anyone from running as an R if they haven't been registered for at least six
months (linda menard switched from non-partisan to R more recently than six months... as
have so many other past R candidates like Ralph Samuels was allowed to do) . . . it would be
unprecendented to have that old bylaw enforced but I hear this is what lyda's son-in-law
Tuckerman (former GOP chair) has up his sleeve to keep linda from running. Anyway- if
asked to comment on it I will. (Remember the LAW that was changed for lyda, allowing her
to run even though she's missed a deadline to file? I we have that legislation and the
press reports on that issue.) I'll comment because this issue is big- it's about taking
away an American's right to run for office (I don't care what party is involved in this).

Subject: Re: Sched
Janice- pis note randy's availablility to attend Juneau event(s). Anna has offered also.
Between you and Hannah and Tara Fradley (and Abbey) , the list of upcoming events can be
scoured and strategized around to make sure someone represents the office at these so
we're not regretting as many... the exercise needs to be circulated so as many
staffers/officials as possible know of the opportunities to touch base with constituents
via acceptance of invites that continue to pour in.
I can jump out of the loop at this time and can wait to hear and see who ! s doing what
throughout the state. Thanks

I'm looking at sched for the days I'm in Juneau - there are a number of
worthy events that Rhonda has commented on... since I can't make these
rural-oriented events that week she is welcome and encouraged to go in
my place. Pis make sure she ! s aware of the details of these invitations
There are so many events all over the state these summer months, I
really want our office represented at as many events all around the

For Rhonda's consideration this week to represent me, there's the Holy
Cross event, the RurAL CAP event, Sealaska's event, and Chenega's
event... plus others. Pis pass on to her.
Also, events like Friday's big VFW event- I won't be back for it in
Anchorage but want to make sure someone is there representing me.
There are big events all over and I want to make sure we have someone at
as many of them - esp the big ones - as possible.
Attending as many as poss allows us to touch base w many communities and
constituents as we seek boards and commission members also, as we seek
community priority input, etc. If I can't be there pis run these invites
by the LtGov so he's given the opportunity to attend also. Thanks

Kenai LNG Export License Approved
June 3, 2008 , Juneau, Alaska - Governor Sarah Palin today lauded the decision by the U.S.
Energy Department to approve the application of Marathon Oil Corporation and
ConocoPhillips for an extension of the Kenai LNG export license. The two companies filed
for the extension in January 2007.
"In these times of economic uncertainty, this is great news for the state and its
residents," Governor Palin said. "This extension helps secure a future for the LNG
operation and is another step toward ensuring energy supplies and energy security for
Alaska."
In January, the state of Alaska and the owners of the LNG plant reached an agreement that
ensured there will be adequate supplies of gas for local utilities. The agreement also
required the owners to develop additional natural gas reserves in Cook Inlet and allow
third parties the opportunity to monetize their gas production through the LNG plant.
Marathon and ConocoPhillips have also agreed to sell Cook Inlet seismic and well data to
third parties.
The Kenai LNG facility, located in Nikiski, is the only LNG export plant in North America
The facility initiated operations in 1969 and today employs 58 people; the plant also
supports 128 other jobs in the Kenai community. In addition, the operations of the plant
contribute approximately $50 million in royalties and taxes to the state and local
economies .

Governor,
Attached is all of your information for the event tomorrow. I have included your remarks; event info & agenda;
directions to the event; & a map of the University of AK Southeast campus. There are, however, a few things I
would like to make you aware of.
1. SB 57 sponsor, Sen. Elton, is attending and his co-sponsors Reps. Kerttula and Doll, are trying to come,
but not yet confirmed. As such, I have included them in your remarks in green so that you have the option
of acknowledging them if present.
2. Commissioner Irwin could not attend the event, but DNR Parks Supervisor Mike Eberhardt (Ebber-hart) will
speak in his place.
3. The location of the event may be a bit tricky, as it is across from the University and does not actually have
its own address. Mindy is staffing you and knows exactly where it is, and it might be a good idea to have
her ride with you, as she can direct you.
4. If you choose to ride alone, Mindy will meet you there and will be available on her cell, at |Privilege .
5. Janice will print this out for you.
Please let me know if you have any questions whatsoever. Thank you, Governor!

Sharon:
I went through the same line of questioning with Kyle yesterday for 45 minutes. He wants to know our position on
Knik Arm. What I told him several times is that public funds are involved, anytime public funds are involved,
officials should perform a reasonable amount of due diligence. That means getting all the information we need to
evaluate the project so an informed decision can be made. So we are asking hard questions of KABATA. We will
keep asking hard questions until we are satisfied with the answers.
I also told him that we just received 80 pages of information this week from KABATA. That information is being
reviewed by experts at DOT and LAW who will provide input back to us.
The ans wer to Kyle's question of pu rsuing the project even if it means the state puts more money into it
could be ^~ ~

The answer to Kyle's question whether the bridge is a good thing could be:

Yeah - I'm trying to take the pulse of KABATA and the bridge project in the wake of George Wuerch leaving last
month, and DOT asking some hand questions about the project costs and potential risk to the state.
I'd want to ask the governor things like whether she supports pursuing the project even if it means the state needs
to put more money in it, and how she sees the>project in comparison to the Gravina Island bridge.

Governor Palin,
You are awesome! !!!•!]!!!!! I am very impressed and fully support you. Thank you for
proving not all politicians are only about their careers.
I have been thinking alot lately about the budgets. I am a married woman that works very
hard. My husband and I are classified as "d.i.n.k.s" by Uncle Sam. We pay a large amount
of our money annualy to taxes. I do not begrudge our duties to pay taxes. It is my duty as
an Americian to pay my share. This being said I am very perplexed by the spending in the
education system on the remodels and new builds for schools. I understand that we need to
stimulate the children and that colors and designs are meant to inspire. What I am having
a really hard time with is the materials that are being purchased for these jobs. I sell
building materials more specifically hard surfaces. As the company I work for bids on the
materials that have be specified I have have to wonder why exactly elementary school
children need glass and natural stone. Glass tile and accents are some of the most
expensive building products in the world. They are also more to install* Natural stone is
not even rated for comm
ercial use. The natural stone is also double the price to install.
PRA GSP01 0018717
I understand the importance of making children proud of their schools, the importance of
activating their minds through outside stimulis. But isn't money being wasted on "fancy"
stuff that is just a fad. Why is it that painted stripes on the walls were good enough for
us but not this generations children. Glass 4x4 is between $18.00 s/f - $70.00 s/f just
for the glass. Installation of glass is $8.00 - $10.00 s/f. Thats crazy expensive.. The new
Clark Middle school has tile on the exterior. The tile is a porcelain thru body. Yet again
more expensive than it needs tobe Wy not paint?
As a supplier I lose money for my business if things go back to the less expensive
products, but wouldn't be better to use some of that spending for music classes, sports,
teachers wages, playground equipment, libraries, text books, computers?
Who is approving these budgets? Is there any way to make the money go where it should?
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Congrats on your baby boy, God Bless you and all your loved ones. You are doing a
wonderful job.
Sincerely,
Jessica Stich

Governor-
Kyle Hopkins would like 10 minutes with you tomorrow to talk about the Knik Arm Bridge. He
spoke with Randy about where the project stands now. He would like to ask you about how
you see the project fitting into Alaska's future. It sounds like it is a pretty long
feature that will run this ' weekend. Please let me know if I can schedule this.

Kenai LNG Export License Approved
June 3, 2008, Juneau, Alaska - Governor Sarah Palin today lauded the decision by the U.S.
Energy Department to approve the application of Marathon Oil Corporation and
ConocoPhillips for an extension of the Kenai LNG export license. The two companies filed
for the extension in January 2007.
"In these times of economic uncertainty, this is great news for the state and its
residents," Governor Palin said. "This extension helps secure a future for the LNG
operation and is another step toward ensuring energy supplies and energy security for
Alaska."
In January, the state of Alaska and the owners of the LNG plant reached an agreement that
ensured there will be adequate supplies of gas for local utilities. The agreement also
required the owners to develop additional natural gas reserves in Cook Inlet and allow
third parties the opportunity to monetize their gas production through the LNG plant.
Marathon and ConocoPhillips have also agreed to sell Cook Inlet seismic and well data to
third parties.
The Kenai LNG facility, located in Nikiski, is the only LNG export plant in North America.
The facility initiated operations in 1969 and today employs 58 people; the plant also
supports 128 other jobs in the Kenai community. In addition, the operations of the plant
PRA GSP01 0018720
contribute approximately $50 million in royalties and taxes to the state and local
economies .

Ms. Palin,
I wanted to send you a quick note to request that you accept if John McCain were to select
you as his running mate, I realize you have considerable responsibilities at the moment
between being a good mother and governing a state larger than some countries, but the
nation needs someone like you to lead us in these trying times. If John McCain does not
win the presidency, I fear for the economic and political trouble that we may face, and
some say you might be the last hope in a dismal Republican year (having a 90% approval
rating as governor of any state is simply astounding).
Although I am 26, I have never given money to any campaign. If it is a McCain/Palin
ticket, however,. I will donate as much money as I can reasonably afford to the RNC (it is
my understanding that because Senator McCain will accept public funds, he will be
ineligible to receive donations for a General Election) .

We were extremely upset by your veto of Sen. Huggins request of $1M to upgrade Kime Lane,
Kime Way, N. Erika, Amy, and Linda to Borough standards.
The budget request was fully supported by all regulatory and oversight bodies from the
NLHOA to the Roads Board to the Mat-Su Borough. Everyone is very upset that we were
required to rank and prioritize and justify the capital request, and that when done, the
number one priority request is VETOED.
This was not a "wouldn't it be nice if " request, this was our thoroughly vetted and
prioritized project that was completely and totally eliminated. We appreciate Sen. Huggins
and this project fully followed the rules and processes, and everyone is in agreement that
this is not only a valid project, it was in fact the very highest ranked project. Everyone
is confused as to why it was vetoed let alone completely vetoed.

Dear Governor Palin:
I just received my issue of The Harvest, the publication for the Great Falls-Billings
Diocese, and saw the story of your child, Trig. With time, patience, and most of all,
love, your son will be able to do more than you ever thought possible.
I have a daughter who is Down's Syndrome. Linda was my second child. She is 37. I was 27
when she was born. Linda started school when she was 3 years old. I worried about her
riding the bus, but when I found out all the other kids argued over who was going to take
care of her each day I quit worrying.
She lives in a town 14 miles from me in a semi-independent apartment complex. There is a
supervisor on duty from 4 p.m. to 8 a.m. every day. The supervisor assists residents with
cooking, cleaning, takes them grocery shopping, conducts fire drills, provides counseling,
oversees parties, etc. Linda shares an apartment with another woman. She cooks her meals,
does her laundry, shares cleaning responsibilities with her roommate, and takes her turn
at cleaning the lobby of the apartment complex. The center where she works does laundry
for the hospital, medical clinic, grocery stores, restaurants, and laundry for
individuals. The center also collects aluminum cans for recycling. She even went on
vacation to Disneyland in California with several people from her apartment building and a
chaperone. The Special Olympics on a local, district, and state level is something she
looks forward to every year.
PRA GSP01 0018732
My husband and I were told that the sooner you can start educating a Down's Syndrome child
the better. We were very fortunate in have access to resources to help us work with our
daughter.
We are so proud of her and she has brought us much joy. She always joins us for holidays
and family celebrations. Her favorite saying when she takes her leave of us is "I keep
you . *•

Governor-
Kyle Hopkins would like 10 minutes with you tomorrow to talk about the Knik Arm Bridge. He
spoke with Randy about where the project stands now. He would like to ask you about how you see
the project fitting into Alaska's future. It sounds like it is a pretty long feature that will run this
weekend. Please let me know if I can schedule this.

refreshing to hear someone speak in a common sense manner. Your views on Anwar et al were
right on, and I applaud you for stating it so well. I wish there were more governors like
you. You would make an excellent president (forget being VP) ! !
God's blessing on you and your family, and congratulations on your latest child.
Keep up the good work!

Dear Governor Palin,
I am a Greek Orthodox priest and serve as Chaplain of a Convent.
My purpose for writing you is two-fold:
1- I just read an article today in which you were mentioned as an excellent candidate for
Vice President. After checking out many of your positions, I have to agree with the
article's conclusion. It especially pleases me to see that you are solidly pro-life and
pro-family, and that you have five children. (Thanks be to God, I have 4 children and 11+
grandchildren.)
PRA GSP01 0018765
2- When I google-searched your name, three images appeared. The 3rd image shocked me,
until I realized that it was not you. It appears that, because your name was associated
with the article in which this picture was included, the search engine placed the
photograph with the two of those that were of you. If possible, I suggest that you have
member of your staff contact Google to see if they can remove it.
I am going to pray that, if God so wills, you will be selected by Mr. McCain as his
running mate. Presently, I am hesitant to cast my vote for him; and unless he chooses
you, or someone with similar conservative credentials, I may even write-in Ronald Reagan!
The blessings and mercies of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ be with you and your
family.
Yours in the risen Lord,
+Fr. James Carellas
P.S. - Several years ago, I had the joy to offer a retreat at an Orthodox Church in
Wasilla. It remains as one of my most favorite trips in my 33+ years as a priest. Your
state is so beautiful, and Wasilla's citizens were very hospitable.

Gov. Palin,
Good morning and best wishes. My name is Julian Vann and 1 am a Vice President for a
large privately owned business here in Georgia just a few miles south of Atlanta. I am
also a very conservative Republican who follow the political landscape very closely. I
just read an article posted on Real Clear Politics that was written by Jack Kelly. The
article pertains to your possible consideration as a VP running mate for Sen. John McCain
and I must tell you^ after reading the article detailing your background, I could not
agree more.
I am convinced that if a Republican is going to reside in the White House for the next
four years, Sen. McCain must choose a running mate that is going to excite the base as
well as Independents and Reagan Democrats. Although I know very little about Alaskan
politics, I do know that from exploring your background on the web you are THE ONE! I
believe that you can bring a level of excitement to the election process that rivals or
surpasses that of Sen. Obama.
PRA GSP01 0018767
I hope that the VP offer will be made and that you will accept. This country is ready for
change, ready for someone like you.
Wishing you and your family the very best.

Sara: Thank you for lowering State Flags in honor of former Senator Mitch Aboods !
passing.
Your office missed a serious opportunity to cement a part of Alaska's past history by not
having a representative of your office at his Memorial Service on 6/3/08. You should have
sent someone to read a statement from you at the Memorial Service,
Without a question in my mind: The Memorial Service had as many if not more former Gov
candidtates, Mayors, former Mayors, former State Senators and Representatives, 4 Generals
of The Military current and retired, former Lt Govenor, represntative of a former Govenor
with standing room only for the overflow guests of personal friends and neighbors. All of
this was following burial at Fort Richardson with full Military Honors.
PRA GSP01 0018772
This memorial was a gathering of the giants of Alaska history almost as big as Statehood:
and they all came together for their friend Mitch Abood. It truly was an emotional
gathering of recapturing the memories of a significant member of our State. Mitch touched
the lives of a large cross section of people.
It is a part of your job as Govenor to recognize those people like Mitch, in a personal
manner to their families and the public. The flag lowering was fine, but I expected you
to do that. Involve the family of the deceased as well with open recognition by your
office ? s presence and participation.

I encourage you to actively pursue the VP opening with Senator McCain. I believe you bring
executive experience to the table that both he and Senator Obama lack. I further believe
it would position you perfectly for the following presidential election* Your being on the
ticket would attract tremendous crossover pro-Hillary demo voters nationwide. Even if the
combined ticket bid were to fail the campaign would provide you with exposure and name
recognition for future opportunities. I'm an Oregonian raised in Ohio - I understand the

Dear Honorable Governor Palin,
Christ is Risen! Congratulations to you and your family, for welcoming your new infant,
to life in Alaska and into the world! It was very refreshing and inspiring, to hear the
words of an Alaskan Governor, that set the highest standard and presented the highest
example, to all Alaskan Mothers and mothers to be and working mothers and all Alaskans, by
sharing your personal, intimate and inspirational faith, through the media, with the
words, ("God" has entrusted us), referring to your new responsibilities, for your new born

human life, with perhaps, special needs. The greatest of all special human needs, of
course, being love.
The Acts of the honorable Apostles says; that Saint Paul and Saint Barnabas traveled to
various cities, "strengthening the souls of the disciples" (Acts 14:22) May their holy
prayers and the prayers of Mary, the holy, ever-virgin, Mother of God, give you and your
family strength and strengthen your souls, as you all give your love and the love and
compassion of the Lord, in your caring and nurturing and raising of your new child.
May God's mercy, grace and love, be with you always,
With love in our resurrected Lord and God and Saviour, Jesus
Christ,

Governor Palin,
My mom saw you on a. talk show recently and asked if I had seen it. I did not but she told
me that you had recently had your fifth child who had Down Syndrome. I have three
daughters, 18, 17 , 13 and one son, 11, who has Down Syndrome also. I hope your son is
healthy and happy. We knew ahead of time that we were having a son with Down Syndrome. It
took a little longer to bond with him than it did with the girls (he was in NICU for 9
weeks and I had health problems for several months) but bond with him I did and now I can
honestly tell you that our whole family cannot imagine life without William. I am sending
a poem I wrote about him when he was 18 months old. He has changed our lives in ways that
have made us better than we would have been without him. I pray that God blesses you and
your family as you serve Alaska and as you parent a very special child.
PRA GSP01 0018781
My Son
When I look into his eyes and see the innocence and love.
I know that my special child was sent from up above.
And when I see that smile that lights up his whole face,
I know that I have truly been touched by God's grace
As he learns each new thing, even though he is behind,
I applaud each little step and know that through him I will find,
That simpleness of life and the things that matter most,
Are not the same accomplishments that other parents boast,
But through my little William, who had a shaky start,
I've learned that peace and joy and love are matters of the heart
PRA GSP01 0018782
And when in my weakness, with other children I compare,
May God graciously remind me that He's always standing there
Right beside me, to guide me, holding my hand and my son's too,
And I know that little William sees Him better than I do
Is that what makes him smile so bright and hold his hands up in the air?
Is. he playing with God's angels who have him in their care"
My son has taught me many things about the Father's love,
The biggest one. is knowing that He sent you from above!

I was watching a program on cnn about naturalm resources tapping in your state, but
thatsnot why im writing, im writing you because we have something in common, a child with
Downs Syndrome, i just wanted to let you know to encourage that child to do as much as he
can do, do not limit his abilities. My doctorsrn told me what my child would and woulndt do
by such and such an age, but i worked with my daughter and she has surpassed all of those
obstacles the doctors tossed at me, my daughter is now 13 years old, and graduatong
tomorrow from 7th grade with honor. And the best thing you can don education choicewise is
to let your child attend intergrated schooling, so that he can conform to the world as it
will be when he grows up in it, i started my daughter off in special schooling but was
very disappointed in^the program , simply because they didnt push the envelope in my
childs abilities, but once chose regular education for her i was very impressed on how
she blossomed. I just wanted
to share that bit of encouragement, and know that your child is not handicapped, hes
handicappable. Ebony Groomster of Ohio

Subject: Point Thomson
I am surprised and a little bit disturbed that I have not been contacted by either of you about my
concerns with the DNR Commissioner's decision at Point Thomson. I have provided a substantial
amount of information to you that would make anyone stop and reconsider their decision, but I i
have heard nothing but silence from you. It is as if the old statement "Don't bother me with the
facts. My mind is already made up" really does apply in this case.
I still would like to see the governor regarding this issue. She needs to understand the costs
before she decides to stand back, under the guise of loyalty, and allow DNR to make a poor
decision. All she needs to do is ask the DNR Commissioner to perform his responsibility under
I I AAC 83.343(b) and tell the Point Thomson owners what a reasonable Plan of Development
would be. This is a simple task, and I can't understand why he wouldn't do it.
If he does not do what I believe is the minimum responsibility of the sovereign in this case, this
process was probably predetermined from the beginning. It probably means that DNR's intent
was to try to take back the leases regardless of what the Point Thomson owners proposed. That is
not their responsibility, and I believe such an act is both illegal and unethical. Their
responsibility to every taxpayer (and lessee) is to try to resolve the issue if possible, and as a last
resort take back the asset if they cannot come to resolution.
In this case the DNR commissioner has met his legal process obligations under the law
by "reconsidering" the prior decision, but he has not met the intent of the law. This issue was an
easy one to solve, but DNR seems to have consciously decided not to do so.
If I am right and DNR issues the reconsideration decision without attempting to resolve the
problem, then it will be a sad day for Alaska. I hope I am wrong. I have been supportive of the
governor, and I have worked behind the scenes in several areas to help her administration be
successful. I will continue to do that where I can, but when I see unethical behavior in her
administration, I cannot support it.
This will be my last correspondence with you as it seems to be unproductive for either of us.

Bush Headlines Summit
Small Business Owners Meet With Lawmakers
At the U.S. Chamber's Small Business
Summit, President George W. Bush
praised small businesses and the
Chamber for their contributions to the
economy and to the policy debate in
Washington, D.C.
During his remarks on April 18, the
president singled out the Chamber and
its members for pushing a pro-growth
business agenda, including passage of
the economic stimulus bill. "I want to
thank members of Congress and
members of the Chamber for working on what I believe is going to be a very effective
pro-growth stimulus package/ Bush said. "Thank you for being dreamers and doers.
One of the reasons I spend a lot of time talking about small business owners in
America is because I truly believe that you represent what makes America great," he
said to a loud round of applause.

Message: I was incredibly disappointed that you chose to veto the state portion of the
grant money for the Serenity House Treatment Center. This much needed money was to be
combined with other grants that staff had worked very hard to procure, and would have
allowed the facility to purchase an ideal piece of property - complete with a house. The
new location would have provided 4-6 more beds, allowing more, people in our community to
be healed by this life-changing program. There are so' many people out there in need,
shouldn't our state government be helping its citizens by supporting this grant? The
hospital has already done all they could to ensure this expansion could be a reality, and
I believe more than half the money needed is coming from sources other than the state
government. Everything is in place but your cooperation. I urge you to reconsider this
decision. There are many others who feel the way that I do, and I hope that they will
feel called to write to you as well. Serenity House saves lives! Please, do the right
thing. Thank you, Sandee

This winter my grandson (Braden - Duncan Shackelford's little guy) attended a day camp in
a tiny litte house owned by the zoo. It was an incredible experience and according to him
"0wl Pellets" are the greatest thing ever. Yet only a few other kids could go
because due to a lack of space.
Please help The Alaska Zoo - the facility is so close to being a completed gem and with
your support of capital funding you can make it a diamond!
Our zoo plays a vital role in our state as a leader in wildlife conservation, an education
resource for teachers and students statewide and as a tourist destination. It needs
capital funding and you can make that happen.
Governor Palin, please invest in the Alaska Zooj It is our children and grandchildrens'

Message: Governor Palin,
With respect to the windfall revenues that the State of Alaska is receiving due to the
high price of oil, I suggest that rather than provide each citizen of Alaska with an
energy card and each utility with a subsidy that the money would be better spent on
enhancing Alaska, Ads educational system.
When I speak of Alaska, Aos educational system I am referring to the University of Alaska
(UA), not the local educational units ,Ai those should be funded locally. However, UA, in
my opinion, is the responsibility of the State for funding. UA is an economic engine, a
source of pride, and the pathway to the future. I believe it is in every Alaskan, A6s best
interest to have an institution of higher education on par with the best that the United
States has to offer.
My recommendation is to fund an endowment for UA with the money that would otherwise be
spent on energy assistance. This funding is in addition to the current level of funding **
that the University receives. I further recommend that UA establish some doctoral programs
based in Anchorage. Currently UAF is the terminal granting institution in Alaska ,Ai
however, the Anchorage region is the population and economic center of Alaska. This
imbalance should receive attention to correct.
PRA GSP01 0018817
Should one desire to attract new clean industries {those typically based on intellectual
property creation) to Alaska, then Alaska must enhance its University. Alaska
traditionally has relied upon natural resources as its economic engine; it is now time to
prepare for the next century.
Governor Palin, thank you for your time

I am protesting your cut of "the Anchorage Covenant House expansion — $1.1
million" and putting in "UAA sports arena planning and design — $15 million.
Squot; This doesn't make sense at all.
Why are you investing $15 million into the UAA Sports arena and taking away more potential

of homeless teens in Anchorage homeless in the cold? Please re-instate the $1.1 million
for the Covenant House expansion.

Message -.Regarding my previous comments, I truly believe I speak for numerous people in
Alaska right now with my previous comments on the budget and axing millions. In addition,
I forgot to mention one very important aspect of my point. That is Governor Palin, &6s has
this irrational assumption with her veto ax plan that "bonds" should pay for the
difference, which ultimately means an increase in our property taxes as a property owner.
Does this governor not realize that is exactly what will happen with her ,Aubonds
option, Au to pay the difference? We are paying enough property taxes as it is Samp; has
already caused some to lose their homes and/or leave the state? Property taxes are too
high in Anchorage as it is. To have this casual expectation for property owners to pay
more property taxes right now when oil is at record highs (to make up the difference for
the budget) is equally appalling? No one should have to lose their job with oil being at
record highs (especially teachers & teacher assistants/aides) . I also just learned
that the Anchorage Police Dept. was once again denied their requested funding for more
office space for storing records, and that is unacceptable as well with our oil revenues
being at record highs.
Again, I don't plan on voting for Governor Palin again for any office position (current or
higher) .

in my opinion began a campaign to advance a "Gay Rights" stance in public
braodcasting. I personally believe that a publically finded organization should remain
TOTALLY MUTE on this subject. That is to say their programming should neither advance nor
decry such issues, basically they should take a no coment stance.
However, this far from the current programming stance of the cur r rent ALASKA ONE
administration, they are taking great pains to carry as much PRO Gay Rights programming as
possible while earring little or none of that supporting the opposing view. In my opinion,
this is a broblem not so much of content as Balance.

MESSAGE:
Gov. Palin,
I've seen several articles mentioning your name as a possible running mate for John McCain
this election year. I was completely opposed to Hilary getting the nomination, so I'm
glad that she didn't get the nomination, but I firmly believe this country is going to
vote for a white man over a black man, regardless of the change policies Obama is
marketing, and regardless of John McCain's qualifications. Please don't get me wrong, my
husband and 1 will be voting for McCain because of his policies over Obama 's. But the
thought of a woman finally getting to show those men how it's done, who is intelligent and
very accomplished in her own right, is down right appealing and makes sense with the way
this election campaign has been going so far.
So my question, Gov. Palin, do you even want to be Vice President, or are these articles
just fluff that should not be taken seriously? I know you probably can't answer that

MESSAGE:
The rumor mill is already brewing that the honorable Senator McCain might invite you to
take the VP slot. This might really make the GOP election chances remain competitive this
year, in fact, your political style is on target with McCain's current message, and your
stance on the issues could energize the typical republican base; and nearly match the
historical nature of the democratic party's offering this year.
Both parties this year, must run on change. McCain is right to voice concern over right
change, and wrong change. He is a good, and honorable senator; but he has always fallen
short of the presidency (even his own party's nomination) on the basis that he often lacks
a presidential voice; and that he's often too moderate to sure up support of his base.
If he gives you an invitation to the VP spot, you can both sure up that support (because
you are 100 percent conservative — and without strong ties to Bush's form of the word
conservative, or any ties to the most unpopular congress/senate body ever.) You make up
for a lot of the qaulities that McCain lacks, but needs; but also would be on message with
his own platform for the right kind of change. Not just that, but with McCain's age
definitely being a concern of most voters, his VP needs to be someone who is greatly
trusted, and admired, and can assume office in the event that he is no longer able to
1
PRA GSP01 0018830
attend to the daily business of the president. In an age where typical voters don't
normally really care who the VP is, he really needs a great VP.
But, if you're not ready for a national office; have a grasp on all the current issues
facing the nation, and wish to stick with Alaska, (because I admit I know nothing of your
political aspirations) it would be better to wait a few more years, and run for president
yourself on your own merits with no strong affiliation to the old gaurd of the GOP.
I used to be a republican, but I'm now strictly independant. I voted for Bush against
Gore, and just abstained during Bush versus Kerry, and am leaning towards Obama for
President in this election, even though I'm pro-life, and I know he's not, because I just
don't think four more years of Bush can be tolerated if McCain ardently follows the course
he has set. Bush isn't offering a leadership that has the qaulity of being progressive and
and promising productive future — he's too busy attacking other people's agendas; and I
fear McCain is following that expample way too much to even have an honest chance once the
debates are underway. Someone in the GOP needs to bring an offering that's above and
beyond the status qou, and with something more of substance than mocking the other party's
whole agenda. The GOP definitely needs someone who is strong on the economy, hard on
corruption, and conservative (not hawkish) on foriegn policy.
If you think you can do that than you definitely need to consider accepting the VP spot if
McCain offers. But, if someone else get's the spot; Because of what I've heard, I'd
definitely give you a fair hearing should you decide to run for a higher office later on.

Benjamin Tidwell

Dear Honorable Governor Palin,
Ruth and I have been a faithful republican party members for many years now. I am 54 years
old and my wife is 53. We are drawn to the republican party through our Christian
religion, in which we believe the morality of our nation - as taught in The Holy Bible -
is necessary for a healthy government. We are very concerned about the future of our
world, more specifically our nation - The United States of America.
Liberalism is running rampant and the values that were established as "One Nation Under
God" are dwindling away. We 1 re killing our unborn and saving trees from being cut down.
We're allowing same sex marriages. We're giving tax advantages to couples who live
together out of wedlock, and taxing to death male /female couples who are united in holy
matrimony. Somethings not quite right here!
PRA GSP01 0018834
We have great respect for the governor of our state (Minnesota) . Governor Palenty is a
wonderful man and a tremendous leader. His name has been mentioned as a potential
candidate as vice president to run with Senator McCain. We are not sure he is ready for
this. We would, however, hope that his political future goes beyond this state at some
point in history.
This brings us to you. A couple months ago someone mentioned that you would be a very
viable and excellent candidate to become the Vice President of the United States of
America. Quite honestly, we had not heard of you up until 2-3 months ago. Since then, we
have been exploring who you are and what you stand for. We are impressed! You are a woman
of great integrity, sound values, and you are not easily intimidated by contradicting
opinions or positions. We would like to strongly encourage you to make known your
willingness to run with Senator McCain for the office of Vice President. Only you know if
this is the right time and the right thing to do, but PLEASE consider it! If you are
willing, you must get your name out into the public by declaring your availability. We
intend to e-mail Senator McCain and share our thinking with him too. We know that we are
just a couple "small fish in the sea", but even Rome was built one brick at a time.
Therefore, we are making our preference known to
both you and Senator McCain
We will be praying for you, hoping that you (or at least someone who shares your values)
will be selected. Blessings as you serve the State of Alaska, and hopefully this great
nation!

Re: Recommendation to Veto the $2 Million Dollar Alaska Legislature Appropriation for a
Conference on Climate Change and Polar Bears
Dear Governor Palin:
The purpose of this letter is to strongly recommend that you reconsider your approval of
1
PRA GSP01 0018841
the $2 million dollar Alaska Legislature appropriation request for a conference on climate
change and polar bears and, instead, veto the item.
Based purely on fiscal considerations, it is absurd to think that $2 million dollars is
required to hold a scientific conference and disseminate results. For about thirty years I
have been responsible for holding and widely disseminating results from scientific
conferences and the costs have never remotely approached $2 million dollars.
The appropriation request is based on faulty knowledge and incorrect conclusions about the
scientific consensus on global climate change and its impacts on polar bears. In
particular, the commentary written by Alaska Senator Lyda Green and Representative John
Harris in the 21 May 2008 Anchorage Daily News f Au$2 Million Conference on Polar Bears,
Climate is Justified, Au is full of misconceptions about the state of global climate change
science. In fact, the issue of ,Auscientific uncertainty, Au about global climate change
and its human attribution has been settled for some time within the scientific community;
so is the impact of global climate change on polar bears.
By the end of the 1970s most scientific studies indicated that climate forcing would
likely be dominated by anthropogenic greenhouse gases accumulating in the
earth, Aiatmosphere system from around 1750 and onwards. The world, A6s most expert body on
climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued major reports
in the early 1990, Aos that concluded ,AuA clear scientific consensus has emerged in the
21st Century; this report was reviewed by over 700 scientists from around the world. 2 The
IPCC, Ads ,AuSecond Assessment Report, Au was issued in 1995, and contained the conclusion
that a ,Aubalance of the evidence (on climate change) showed a discernable human influence
on climate., Au3 In 2001, the IPCC, Aos third assessment report was released, and made
specific predictions about how human actions would change the global climate and how
climate change would affect human health and the environment . 4 The third assessment
confirmed and expanded upon previous IPCC reports and concluded that there was additional
evidence that human,Aiinduced climate change had already become noticeable around the
world.
Recently, the IPCC,A6s fourth assessment (AR4) documented the substantial vulnerability of
high latitude regions, including places such as Alaska, to the impacts from global climate
change. 5 This report concluded with a confidence greater than 90 percent that human
activities are the primary drivers responsible for the atmospheric build, Alup of
greenhouse gases and its resultant public health and environmental impacts. (The AR4 had
over 2500 scientific expert reviewers, over 800 contributing authors, over 450 lead
authors, and took six years of work.). The AR4,A6s ,AuWorking Group II (WG II), Au also
notes: (l),Authat of the more than 29,000 observational data series, Althat show
significant change in many physical and biological systems, more than 89 percent are
consistent with the direction of change expected to warming;, Au (2) that a synthesis of
studies used in WG II strongly demonstrates the spatial agreement between regions of
significant warming across the globe and the locations of significant changes in many
systems consistent with warming is very unlikely to be due solely to natural variability
of temperatures or natural variability of the systems;, Au and (.3) climate models with
,Aucombined natural and anthropogenic forcing simulate observed responses significantly
better than models with natural forcings only.,Au6
Parenthetically/ you should be aware that the IPCC is conservative insofar as being
careful to avoid making attributions about climate change under conditions of scientific
uncertainty. In fact, its charter requires it to avoid speculation where possible.
Consequently, the IPCC does not do original research but relies on conclusions from
peer,Aireviewed scientific journals that typically employ a normative standard of
requiring a high degree of confidence for conclusions (e.g./ 95 percent confidence level).
PRA GSP01 0018842
At the request of President Bush, in 2005 the U.S. National Academy of Sciences was
requested to present findings on the current state of climate science. ,Au In his testimony
to Congress on the findings of the report, Dr. Ralph Cicerone, President of NAS, stated
,AuNearly all climate scientists today believe that much of the Earth ,A6s current warming
has been caused by increases in the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, mostly
from the burning of fossil fuels. ,Au7 This conclusion is basically the same conclusion
issued in the NAS,A6s 2001 and 2008 report, respectively. 8
In 2005, several national academies of science issued a joint statement wherein they
concluded, ,Au,AKthere is now strong evidence that significant global warming is
occurring, Au, M . ,Auit is likely that most of the warming in recent decades can be
attributed to human activities. This warming has already led to changes in the Earth, Aos
climate., Au9 The national academies were: National Academy of Sciences (United States),
Royal Society (United Kingdom) , Royal Society of Canada (Canada) , Russian Academy of
Sciences (Russia), Chinese Academy of Sciences (China), Science Council of Japan (Japan),
Indian National Science Academy (India), Academie des Sciences (France), Deutsche AJcademie
der Naturforscher (Germany), Accademia dei Lincei (Italy), and Academia Brasiliera de
Ciencias (Brazil) .
The above studies I have mentioned, along with other major recent studies on global
climate change (e.g., American Association for the Advancement of Science, 10 the American
Geophysical Union, 11 and the American Meteorological Societyl2), support the view that the
Earth, A6s climate is changing and that most of the change is attributable to human
activities since 1750.
The Alaska legislative request and in particular Senator Green, Aos and Representative
Harris, Ads rationale for the request and, presumably, your approval of the request are
predicated on the view ,Authat it is imperative that we .critically analyze the science
behind climate change and develop a true consensus before enacting legislation based on
the claims of that science., Au How much of a ,Auconsensus,Au do they or you want? And what
would a ,Auconsensus,Au look like? If there is no trust in the credibility of the
aforementioned scientific organizations, A6 studies, who should one trust? There is
probably a greater consensus about global climate change than any other major scientific
or environmental problem. And, there is a huge consensus about the threat global climate
change poses to polar bears; the state of Alaska, Aos position on polar bears is at odds
with almost every national and international scientific study of threats from global
climate change on polar bears
.Although more scientific studies always will yield more information, there is an urgency
to take immediate action if we are to avoid the serious consequences of global climate
change, both for humans and polar bears. Further, there is not one local, state, or
federal agency that requires full scientific certainty for decision or policymaking. (In
fact, science can never provide full and absolute certainty.). Neither is full certainty
(or ,Auconsensus,Au) required for social or economic policies. Have all of your decisions
been based on full certainty? Have those of Senator Green or Representative Harris? I
doubt it.
Given the scientific consensus on the human attribution of global climate change as well
as threats to polar bears, using ,Auscientific uncertainty, Au to delay mitigation of
global climate change or protection of polar bears has unfortunate ethical and moral
consequences. I am unaware of any secular or religious ethics or morals that would
exonerate someone engaged in risky behavior simply because there was some uncertainty
involved in determining whether his/her behavior would actually cause damage. There are
many laws that implement this well,Aiestablished norm. For instance, for a defendant to be
convicted of reckless driving or reckless endangerment, a prosecutor simply has to prove
the defendant acted in a way that he/she should have known to be risky. Furthermore, the
3
PRA GSP01 0018843
ethical duty to avoid risky behavior is proportional to the magnitude of the potential
harm, particularly to those who have not consented to being placed at risk. Certainly,
global climate change poses risks of harm of great magnitude.
Therefore, as a matter of ethics a relevant question in the face of scientific uncertainty
about harmful consequences of human behavior is whether there is a reasonable basis for
concluding that serious harm to other humans or species could result from the behavior. As
I have pointed out above, scientists have understood that human attribution is the main
driver of global climate change since at least the first IPCC report, and probably before
then. For this reason, states and nations cannot deny that their release of greenhouse
gases creates a significant risk to human and environmental health around the world, even
if there might be some disagreement with, e.g., the specific predictions of the timing and
magnitude of the impacts from global climate change. Therefore, states and nations
emitting significant amounts of greenhouse. gases have been engaged in risky behavior and
this risky behavior has ethical consequences even if there might be some uncertainty about
some aspects of actual consequences. 13, Ail5
Given the fact that the United States with 5,6 percent of the world, Aos population ■
contributes about 24 percent of the annual anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases to
the atmosphere {and also is responsible for the majority of historical emissions) , it is
our duty to significantly reduce emissions because of the real and potential harm caused
to others, including other species such as polar bears. Further, it also is Alaska, Aos
duty to reduce greenhouse gas emissions given that on a per capita basis the state
produces about four times the amount of the per capita average in the United States. I
also remind you that under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
(ratified by the United States), nations are responsible for reducing greenhouse gas
emissions, including sub,AInational governments, businesses, and organizations. 16

Message: Regarding the article; ,AuPalin's veto ax lops $268 million from budget, Au and as
a conservative Alaskan who did vote for Palin.
If oil was $60 or $70 per barrel, I could see being more careful with spending and taking
such action as Palin just did. Cutting the budget like Palin just did while we currently,
have $130+ oil & putting people out of work and ultimately impacting economic spending
in the process is recklessly irresponsible, unacceptable & without saying- completely
unnecessary. The ,Ausaving for a rainy day,Au justification is no longer an excuse with
the amount of revenues this state is now taking in on oil alone. My own personal survey
on this action by Palin with friends, family & acquaintances resulted in every single
person agreeing with me, and they will not be voting for her again as well if she where to
run for re-election (either for Governor again or for a higher office) .
Words cannot express our disappointment in this governor, Aos decision making process
regarding the budget axing. Many people I have spoken to can only view Palin, A6s recent
demeanor Samp; actions as an arrogant carelessness to show she has a position of power,
and that she will use it at any cost. Regardless of the amount people who, Aos lives will
unfortunately samp; unnecessarily be adversely affected with job losses. Again, Palin, Ads
actions come when oil is $130+ a barrel. This is entirely unacceptable action by any
sitting governor.
Thank you for listening to my important concerns

going to veto things like this stop playing games and give the legislature the chance to
override these vetos. Our State has a huge surplus of money if these projects are not a
prioriety now when will they be? How are they suppose to get power to the new prison?
Now MEA rate payers will have to pay because the State listened to a bunch of whiners and
put the prison in an area with no infrastructure. One last thing do you think the State

Message: I read the list of budget cuts in the paper today, and I'd like you to reconsider
funding for the Covenant House expansion. Unlike most of the other items, it supports the
poor of our state, the most vulnerable. It gets lots of private donation support already,
but this is a positive — it shows community suppurt, but it still needs a lot more for
the needy, and it shows the community matching State funds with more donated funds,
unlike most other projects. The poor and homeless have no lobbiest, no big vote, no
substantial influence, just personal and real need. We should support the Conenant House
with State support as well. It's the rignt thing to do. Thank you for your
condiseration .

repairing Johns Road in Anchorage. We have lived in its neighborhood for 16 years and have
watched the road go down hill everyyear. There is an elemenary school on the street; it is
a major bus route; it is a major route into Ocean View. I have asked the City to do
something about it and they just say that it is the State's responsibilty. The City says
that if the State will renovate the road, the City will take over its maintenance. Please,
Sarah, reconsider your veto of the John's road project. If you doubt what I am saying
about the road, I implore you to take the time and drive down it. If you don't take back
your veto, can I have my $100 donation backl ! ' God Bless you and your family.

Subject: RE: Kyle
Sharon:
I went through the same line of questioning with Kyle yesterday for 45 minutes. He wants
to know our position on Knik Arm. What I told him several times is that public funds are
involved, anytime public funds are involved, officials should perform a reasonable amount
of due diligence. That means getting all the information we need to evaluate the project
so an informed decision can be made. So we are asking hard questions of KABATA. We will
keep asking hard questions until we are satisfied with the answers.
I also told him that we just received 80 pages of information this week from KABATA. That
information is being reviewed by experts at DOT and LAW who will provide input back to us.
The answer to Kyle's q uestion of purs uing the project even if it means the state puts more
money into it could be
Privileged or Per

The answer to Kyle's question whether the bridge is a good thing could be
Privileged or Personal Material Redacted
The answer to the question of how Knik Arm compares with Gravina could be
Privileged or Personal Material Redacted
Kyle has Frank Richard's April 22, 2008, letter to KABATA asking a lot of tough questions.
Kyle has somehow gotten a copy of Frank's letter to KABATA. It's 3 pages of tough
questions to them about the project and again asking KABATA to education the public and
legislators on all the details of the project.
I don't know how he got it.

Yeah — I'm trying to take the pulse of KABATA and the bridge project in the wake of
George Wuerch leaving last month, and DOT asking some hard questions about the project
costs and potential risk to the state.
I'd want to ask the governor things like whether she supports pursuing the project even if
it means the state needs to put more money in it, and how she sees the project in
comparison to the Gravina Island bridge.

Dear Governor:
I am asking you to lend your support for the $250,000 appropriation for the Sitka Sound
Science Center to continue hatchery operations at the Sage Building on the former Sheldon
Jackson campus.
My wife and two sons had the pleasure of meeting you during your visit to Sitka last
October. I also had the opportunity to speak with you and your staff during my interview
for the Sitka Superior Court judicial selection process. I want to let you know you made
a good decision and that Judge David George is doing an excellent job on the bench.
My family depends upon local salmon not only as a healthy food source but also as an
important family bonding and educational time in harvesting and processing our salmon.
The fish produced from the hatchery help sustain our unique Alaskan way of life. In this
way, the grant money is an investment in not only Alaska but Alaskans.
Additionally, it would be a travesty to lose this important educational facility as it is
ideally situated in southeast Alaska with an unparalleled access to the natural resource
environments for continued study and analysis.
Thanks,

Evaluating Structural Adjustment: A
Dissenting Opinion
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank (WB) have come under heavy
scrutiny for their structural adjustment programs. These programs, which feature loans
conditional upon neoliberal economic reforms, have been implemented countless times in
numerous developing countries since the 1980s. Recently, these loans have been criticized
for failing to provide the promised economic growth and for adversely affecting the poor.
Today, it has become expedient for politicians to blame IMF and WB programs as the
source of their countrys past and current economic woes; railing against the policies of the
IMF and WB has become a common theme of Latin Americas resurgent populist leaders.
Yet, the truth of the matter is that the IMF and WBs structural adjustment programs are
not solely to blame for the economic plight that hit many developing countries. Structural
adjustment could still be a sound policy; it simply needs to be revised in light of its multiple
probl ems.
Misplaced Criticism
One of the primary complaints against structural adjustment policies is that they
disproportionately harm the poor. Critics claim that by forcing governments to cut
spending, the poor lose critically needed social welfare programs. While this is indeed one
of the negative effects of adjustment policies, its criticism is shortsighted. Oftentimes,
structural adjustment loans are given to countries with extreme budget deficits, which are
the primary cause of runaway inflation. To combat this inflation, which in many loan-
receiving countries can top 100 percent a month, most adjustment loans require cuts in
government spending. Though cuts in spending hurt those who rely on welfare programs,
runaway inflation poses a much greater risk to their livelihoods. When faced with
hyperinflation, most people seek to place their assets into unaffected areas, such as real
estate, gold, and foreign investments. This transfer of assets is relatively easy for the upper
and middle classe s to accomplish. The poor, on the other hand, are often unable to shift
10/15/2009

A Council on Hemispheric Affairs Press Release

their assets into unaffected areas due to their relative lack of access to the appropriate tools for
ioing so. As a result, the poor bear the brunt of hyperinflation, often losing their entire life savings
n the process. Therefore, while cuts in government spending impose difficulties on the poor, they
ire merely temporary and pale in comparison to those caused by hyperinflation.

I agreed with all that were listed with the EXCEPTION OF the 3.5 million that would be
earmarked for the CHANLYUT enterprise. They just got a newly remodeled living quarters
and they have the Diner on the corner that could, if properly managed, generate funding.
I have no idea what the 3.5 million would be spent on, nor have they presented any kind of
proposals to the Community Council before trying to get the money from you.
If you must AX items from all the proposals being submitted, I strongly urge you to cut
this one first.

As you consider the capital budget, we ask that the $250,000 for Arctic Power funding not
be included. The oil industry has almost unlimited resources to hire their own lobbyists
and it seems wrong to bring Gordon Liddy, a convicted felon, to Alaska to advocate on the
radio for drilling in the Arctic Refuge. It seems especially wasteful at this time as
opening the Refuge is highly unlikely with the Democratic Congress and all three
presidential candidates opposed. Money could better be spent on education, health care,
highway maintenance, revenue sharing, or put into a savings account. Thank you for you
consideration .

Message: Dear Governor Palin
I appreciate your effort to put aside some of the budget surplus for use at a later time
However, some of the surplus could be put to a very effective use now*
I propose using some of the surplus to help pay off debts of non-profit social service
institutions such as Community Health Centers. For example, the Anchorage Neighborhood
Health Center and Mat-Su Health Services could use the money to pay off long term debts
such as mortgages. If these were paid off, money could be used to expand services, and
pay employees a decent wage. Using surplus funds now to eliminate debt throughout the
public sector would pay dividends far down the road. Money that has 'been borrowed to
finance schools could be paid back, freeing up more money for education, and improvement
of our university system. Is it wise to be paying interest when we don't have to? We
should be able to pay for things as we go, without borrowing.
We have an opportunity to INVEST in Alaska's future, that will pay dividends far in excess
of what we could earn by saving for a rainy day. Let us wisely use the money we have now
to make sure we have an economy that will continue to provide for all Alaskans, when the
resource extraction phase of our economy is waning.

Governor:
Rep. Wilson will be attending the reception tonight. If she complains about ferry service, we increased service to
her communities (Petersburg, Wrangeil, and Sitka) and ridership is up so far about 30% over last year. Sitka has
5 day a week service to Juneau this summer from the fast ferry which is the boat it always wanted. We have
worked very hard to improve service for these communities.
There have been 3 mechanical problems with the ferries recently. Two of those problems were caused by union
engineers making mistakes that led to equipment problems. The issue of whether AMHS has to continue to use
union engineers is up for negotiations now. The union is talking to legislators like Rep. Wilson and trying to cover
its members by saying they were not allowed to buy the right parts by management and that it is a budget issue.
AMHS management says that is absolutely not true. AMHS managers and I will be meeting with Rep. Wilson this
week to politely explain the tacts.

Dear Ms. Palin,
I was very impressed with your boldness and willingness to fight for America's right to
use her own resources. It's refreshing-much like we have heard about Governor Joe of New
Mexico, I believe, who reformed local prisons and got prisoners to work to earn their
keep. Felons incarcerated for years should work and contribute*
Although you said you wouldn't consider being VP with McCain, I would vote for that
ticket I You'd be an asset to the ticket. . .keep up the good work, let's use some of our
oil, shale, and natural gas resources and stop worrying so much about being so politically

I read about you with interest in the past, but when I recently saw your name mentioned as
a VP possibility, I thought, "How Perfect!" From what I can see your conservative
credentials are good, certainly better than McCain* s. You would draw many of the democrat
women who are angry because Hillary didn't make it. Most importantly, your country and
those of us who love it, desperately need someone like you on the national, scene.
I hope you will actively pursue and ultimately attain the office of Vice President of the
United States. Who knows what could happen after that.

Hello Govenor Palin,
As a longtime Wasilla resident I have pride, in our city, the new Palmer-Wasilla extension
to Knik Road was a welcome addition to the ever increasing traffic problem for Knik road
residents, they took the time to make a faux-look red brick meridians and since early
spring I have noticed that they are covered with gravel from the winters sanding, I called
the Road Maintanance crew in Palmer and they said that their sweepers were down* . and they
onoy have a couple of them and with all the other road maintnance jobs they have to do
they don't have time to fix them! The dust is so bad and when the tennagers whip around
the corners they spray gravel at you! :) Please allot funds for sweepers:) It may seem
trivial, but you cannot put sand and gravel on the roads year after year and not pick it
upl We will back to gravel roads in that case! Thanks for your time... and
congratulations on your new baby boy and all the great work you are doing for us Alaskans!

Attached is a national op-ed piece that we would like your blessing on. You would be the

New York Times. The process could take a couple of weeks - it all depends on the level of
interest and who bites. MCB will do the shopping for us with its national editorial
contacts.
The attached has been reviewed and rewritten by Bruce, Kurt, Tom, Pat, Marty, and me. This
is the final version for your approval.
Thanks,

MESSAGE :
I'd just like to tell Sarah that we think she is the best thing that has happened to this
state in some time. I feel that she has been instrumental in getting this gas line going
and I'd like to thank her for standing up to big oil even though Todd works for B.P. In
this era of partisan politics I know many democrats who think as highly of Sarah as I do.
I have been a republican for many years and I am ashamed of some of our elected officials
as I know she has been.
Thank you for being a breath of fresh air Sarah. My whole family loves you.

I just want to let you know that I was inspired by your appearance on Glenn Beck's program
a few days ago. PLEASE KEEP OP THE FIGHT FOR OIL!
But on the other hand, as a member of "Free Republic, " I have noticed that your name gets

Please do not accept. Fight the good fight in Alaska

government, and promised to never work in the business again. Galante is

scheme that involved organized crime... Read More »
2. ALLIED WASTE GETS POSITIVE REPORT CARD
Investment rating agency Fitch Ratings recently upgraded its outlook for
Allied Waste Industries. The agency believes that Allied's strong cash flow,
pricing discipline, and efforts to reduce debt have improved the company's
credit profile. Despite the continuing decline in volumes, estimated to be
between 1.5%-3% in 2008 due to the slowing U.S. economy, pricing is
expected to remain firm and projected to increase by 4.5% in 2008.
Pricing strength appears to be holding across the industry, as virtually all
of Allied's major competitors are now focusing more on return on invested
capital (ROIC) and margins, rather than on volumes and market share
when making pricing decisions. This is especially true with stronger landfill
pricing which drives pricing up the chain including collection and
processing... Read More »
3. BEST BUY ROLLING OUT FREE E-WASTE RECYCLING PROGRAM
The nation's largest consumer electronics retailer Best Buy is rolling out a
free electronic waste program where consumers will be able to bring in up
to two items per day at participating Best Buy stores. It is believed to be
the most extensive electronics recycling program by any retailer to date
and is naturally being haled by the Consumer Electronics Association. The
trial covers 117 Best Buy stores across eight states that will collect a wide
variety of old electronics at no charge. Results of the trial will determine
whether they expand the recycling program to ail 922 stores in the US.
The company agreed to set up the recycling trial under pressure from "As
You Sow," a social responsibility group, which had threatened a
shareholder intervention... Read More »
4. PLASCO ENERGY PROPOSES TO BUILD $125 MILLION PLASMA
PLANT FOR OTTAWA, ONT.
Plasco Energy Group has offered to build a $125 million waste-to-energy
plant for the City of Ottawa, Ont. Under the proposed deal, Plasco would
cover the cost of construction and in return, the city would enter a long-
term contract to supply the plant with post-recycled waste paying Plasco
about $8 million a year in fees. The city generates about 300 thousand
tonnes of waste per year but with new recycling systems set to begin next
year, hopes to divert as much as 60% of that stream. The Plasco plant
would take the rest: about 400 tonnes of garbage per day, or about 136
thousand tonnes per year. With Ontario government approval, Plasco says
the plant could be operational by 2010. ..Read More »

5. TRADE GROUPS PRESS EPA ON GREENHOUSE REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS
Two of the waste industry's biggest trade groups are urging the US EPA to
consider much of the progress already made by the industry to reduce
greenhouse gas (6HG) emissions before proceeding with its rulemaking.
In a joint letter to the U.S. EPA, the National Solid Wastes Management
Association (NSWMA) and the Solid Waste Association of North America
(SWANA) commented on the agency's draft mandatory greenhouse gas
(GHG) reporting and its potential impact on municipal solid waste (MSW)
landfills. Specifically the groups want the EPA to consider the industry's
already substantial success in reducing GHG emissions, establish a
protocol for estimating fugitive landfill emissions, account for carbon
sequestration in estimating GHG emissions from landfills, and exclude
biogenic GHG emissions from reporting requirements. ..Read More »

6. NEW LANDFILL-GAS-TO-ENERGY PROJECT FOR BREVARD
COUNTY, FLA.
Brevard County, Florida's Central Disposal Facility (Cocoa Landfill) last
month began converting its gas to energy. The $11 million system
employs six 1.6-megawatt Caterpillar engines to produce enough
electricity (9.6 MW) to power more than 6,000 homes. Michigan-based
Landfill Energy Systems funded the project which includes a 6,000-
square-foot plant. In return for the rights to the gas, the county is to
receive a cut of the estimated annual revenues of $400,000 over the 20-
year contract. Landfill Energy Systems, meanwhile, earns federal tax
credits for producing green energy.. .Read More »

a young family and a huge state at the same time. Congratulations on the recent birth of
your son, I myself became a first time father about a month ago. Again, thank you so much
for being a one in a million governor who is willing to do SOMETHING while the rest of the
government watches the price at the pump sky rocket. I've always wanted to live in Alaska,
but my wife is terrified of bears, she'd never allow it. I have a hard enough time
convincing her to go to Yellowstone every summer. Again, if there is anything I can do on
my end to help your fight just let me know. Keep up the good work, you are awesome. -

Dear Gov. Palin,
Just wanted to say that you would bring everything I respect and appreciate in women with

the invasiveness that would come with the nomination but you have the integrity, grit and
strength to handle it. You are NOT our version; of Hillary!! You are far more grounded,
experienced and likable, besides being abundantly qualified!
I would vote for youl

Women liJce you are what this country needs in politics- honest, strong, focusing on the
right things and doing your best towards that end.
I would encourage you to strongly consider the VP nomination if Sen McCain offers it. You
are the first person to really get me enthused about the GOP ticket in a long time.
And if the VP offer doesn't come - just keep doing what you are doing for Alaska! Woman in

Message: Dear Governor Palin
I was very disappointed to hear that you took out that portion of the budget that was to
improve the North Tongass roadway between Totem Bite Samp; Whipple Creek outside of
Ketchikan. The situation on. that portion of highway is critical to the public safety of
Ketchikan residents and visitors alike. This stretch of highway contains a popular state
park, a grocery store, gas station, restaurant, a trailer park, a recreation area and
many, many homes. On a daily basis I see children walking or riding bikes along the road
headed to the grocery store (probably to buy candy as I did at their age) on a very, very
narrow & unpaved shoulder. This situation is very dangerous. Over the last 30+ years
I can recall 5 deaths just on this small stretch of highway (two of them teens) *
I am concerned that Ketchikan is being forgotten as part of the State of Alaska. Things
have been cut here that are vital in keeping this area a safe place to live. I never
thought that millions would be spent on recreation centers, while our roadways went to pot
w/ no safe shoulder to walk on (a bike path would be so great for North Tongass) .
Thank you so much for your time Samp; consideration. I think you are terrific, but hope
you don't forget about our basic needs down here in Ketchikan.

Message:Mrs. Palin,
By and large, I do approve and admire your administative abilities and support you as a
governor. You have been rather impressive in the political field and effective in
responsibly handling our economic siduation. Still, I am baffled by your decision to cut
funding for $500,000 to the Alaska Center for Energy Samp; Power. The funds are but a
relatively small portion of the budget and would be (as I understand) matched by the
federal government on a 2 for 1 basis. I moved up here to Alaska almost three years ago to
seek my degree, hoping to move into the field of energy research. I know it may not be
expected for such a small group to achieve any tangible results, but thier work would have
been benificial to the overall progress of energy development in alaska. I have not seen
your written explaination of veto's as I have yet to locate it, but I would ask that you
consider supporting the work of research even if it doesn't appear to provide tangible
results. Research is an incrimental field, its not a series of big breaks and wasted
money. I hope you will consider this in the future.
Sincerely,
John Beanland

Hello Governor,
I was nice to see you at the reception last night, busy times. I thought I'd give you a quick update on the union
situation. Right after the Judiciary meeting we called and offered the Business Agent an opportunity to meet with
us and help design the next prison bus. We also offered a Labor/Management committee and a mediation. They
accepted ail three invitations. We are meeting on our terms, and on subjects appropriate for the union to be
involved, and so far so good. The director and Deputy Director are in our Juneau facility as we speak answering
questions of the line staff and Sam and Kevin are in Kenai today meeting about the bus. I don't want to count
chickens before they hatch, but things look much better today than a couple of weeks ago. Last night I didn't
chase lawmakers around, but I did get some positive feedback on the whole situation. The most significant was
Sen. French telling me the union did not make a good case to him and he remains unconvinced of their
allegations. LB&A did not allow the union to make a statement at their hearing and decided to go ahead with the
staffing and square foot ratios, and MRSA numbers. None of the remaining allegations will be audited. We have
nothing to hide, have not lied about any of our decisions or numbers so the audit is good for us. Our ratios are
better than most states, and if anyone wants to say we need more staff, l wouldn't argue. When they compare
school districts and hospitals to us as far as MRSA, we are way better. We are tracking it, unlike most other
systems and epidemiology is guiding us. If they say we need more medical staff, we wouldn't argue with that
either.
Our expansion plan is clicking along as well. The Bethel project (66 beds) may be in trouble as fuel just jumped to
seven bucks and we have several staff wanting to transfer out. Tough times out there now. The Point Mack
project (1536 beds) and the Seward project (144 beds) look strong, both with construction scheduled to begin
spring 09. Supervised Prisoner crews are building 60 beds in Palmer and with our busses we should be able to
help the crowding in Anchorage.
Your support has been a true blessing. Thank you.
Joe

From Wesley Loy in Juneau -
Hearings on the natural gas pipeline were suspended for a time this morning as leading
2
PRA GSP01 0018957
legislators prowled the Capitol for enough votes to override Gov. Sarah Palin' s recent
budget vetoes .
Right now, it looks like the leadership isn't confident it has the votes. To override
Palin, 45 of the 60 senators and representatives meeting in a joint session would have to
vote in favor.
Palin last month used her veto pen to ax about $268 million from state budgets lawmakers
had passed in April for next year.
Some top Republican lawmakers including Senate President Lyda Green of Wasilla are
frustrated with the popular Republican governor's second straight year of cuts and today
are trying to mount the difficult veto override.
The lawmakers, meeting in special session on the natural gas pipeline, don't have much
time.
Under the rules, they have through tomorrow to carry off a veto override. But many
lawmakers are expected to go home this weekend, so from a practical standpoint it probably
has to happen today if at all.
Lawmakers are circulating lists through the Capitol showing a total of about $81 million
in vetoed projects - dozens of items - they're aiming to restore.
Many involve health, safety and school needs.
Among Anchorage and Mat-Su items on the lists:
* Computer equipment for Rabbit Creek and Oceanview elementary schools, $15,000 each *
Totem East Anchorage ball fields, $120,000
* Wasilla recycling center, $1 million
* Expansion of Covenant House in Anchorage, $1.1 million
* Anchorage Fire Department Station 6 replacement in Muldoon, $6 million
* Anchorage Police Department headquarters expansion, $17.5 million
Republican lawmakers including Rep. Kevin Meyer, R- Anchorage, say Palin had signaled she
wouldn't veto some of the items she did.
They believe the state, flush with billions of dollars in surplus oil money, can well •
afford to spend more for projects they say local communities and organizations consider
priorities.
Palin, however, has said some of the spending isn't the state's responsibility, and she
wants to slow the growth of state budgets for the years when Alaska might not be so rich.
If lawmakers can override her vetoes, it would mark a significant political- victory for
them against a governor whose popularity has seemed to overpower the legislative branch.
Should be fascinating to see how it plays out!

JUNEAU - Gov. Sarah Palin's budget vetoes appear safe from a legislative override.
Several high-ranking lawmakers say the chances to get 45 out of 60 lawmakers to support an
override are just about gone.
Lawmakers still have until 1 1:59 p.m. Saturday to override some or all of Palin's $268 million
capital budget cuts.
This morning, a special session hearing on a gas line proposal was delayed an hour while
members of the House and Senate discussed their options, but they could not agree on what
projects should be put back on the books.
By the time hearings resumed, members of the finance committees said their best effort had
come up short.

Subject: Water/Mining Initiative Info re lawsuits
The AG's Office filed papers today to partially resolve the water/ruining initiative issues. Here's our fact
sheet (fay is forwarding to Mike Nizich and Sharon L. in case your office gets any calls).
What happened?
• All parties have agreed to dismiss the 07WATR appeal and allow the Alaska Supreme Court
to resolve whether 07WTR3 should be on the ballot. Simply put, the first water/mining
initiative (07WATR) would not be on the ballot, and the AK Supreme Court would decide
whether 07WTR3 should be on the ballot.
• The agreement between initiative sponsors, mining interests, and the State of Alaska would
leave in place Judge Blankenship's (Fairbanks) order enjoining the state from putting the
07WATR initiative on the ballot. It would have the AK Supreme Court vacate Judge Torrisi's
(Dillingham) decisions and order regarding G7WATTL.
• On. Friday, the State of Alaska, the 07WATR sponsors, and 07WATR opponents jointly asked
the Alaska Supreme Court to:
o vacate the Dillingham Superior Court's order to distribute signatures booklets to
sponsors of 07WATR.
o dismiss the State's appeal to the Alaska Supreme Court of the Dillingham Superior
Court's decision to certify 07WATR
o dismiss the 07WATR sponsors' appeal to the Supreme Court of the Fairbanks Superior
Court's decision that 07WATR constituted an appropriation.
What does this mean for voters?
• If the Alaska Supreme Court agrees to the request, 07WATR will not appear on the ballot
• Whether 07WTR3 appears on the August Primary ballot is yet to be decided by the Alaska
Supreme Court, regardless of the outcome of the joint request
Who's involved?
• 07WATR sponsors (Holman, Hobson, Akelkok);
• 07WATR opponents (Pebble Limited Partnership, Council of Alaska Producers, Alaska
Federation of Natives (AFN) and Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act Association of CEO's
(ANCSA);
• State of Alaska, Lt Governor Parnell (who originally declined to put 07WATR on the ballot
on constitutional grounds).
Why did this partial resolution of the water/mining initiatives occur?
• All parties agreed that 07WATR should not appear on the upcoming ballot.
• All parties agree that having two related initiatives on the same ballot fosters confusion.
• Additionally,
o The sponsors of the initiative believe that 07WTR3 accomplishes the principal goals of
07WATR.
o The Lt Governor and the initiative opponents believe that 07WATR should not appear
on the ballot because it is an appropriation of state assets, which is unconstitutional. .
• Oral arguments in the case will take place on June 16. The state has requested that the
Supreme Court decide what will appear on the ballot by July 10, so that ballots can be printed
on time.

Subject: We Need Energy NOW!
June 6, 2008
A few months ago I met with Representative Jay Ramras concerning energy costs. I
suggested to him that our State, with its immense wealth, needed to help relieve our citizens of
the huge burden they are carrying caused by the continually rising cost of energy. Today, crude
oil prices reached all time highs of $139.00 plus per barrel making Alaskan's energy
requirements all the more desperate.
While the AGIA and competing natural gas lines are good for Alaska in the long run they
will do little to reduce energy costs for at least 10 years. Enstar Natural Gas Company has
proposed to build a smaller gas line from the North Slope to Fairbanks then on to Cook Inlet.
This line could be delivering low cost natural gas to Alaskans in five years! The State of Alaska
continues to enjoy extraordinary income from oil revenues caused by record prices. Ironically,
the same record prices are destroying Alaskan's economic future. I have heard that Fairbanks
may lose 20% of its population in the next year if economic trends continue. What good does 45
billion dollars in the bank do if the State's citizens are going broke and leaving?
We need to show our Legislators and our Governor that Alaskans are in need and we
need their immediate help. I have heard that at least one of our local State Senators thinks this
rally is point less. Let us show him and the rest of his peers just what the point is, and that is,
Alaskans are not going to allow our State Government to conduct business as usual. Our elected
officials need to fully understand that our government is here to serve its citizens — not the other

Governor Palin,
As the rumor's float about as you- becoming a possible running mate for the VP slot, I
simply wanted to say that I was so excited about that prospect that it literally sent
chills through me.
I hope that if you are approached to do so that you will strongly consider it. I think
having a strong conservative voice in the office will greatly benefit the Republican
party, and will go a long way towards regaining focus.
While I would certainly understand why you might not want to accept such a position t
especially with having a new born, I look forward to casting my ballot for you.

Governor,
I wanted. to get these remarks to you as soon as possible, so that you could let me know if
you'd like changes made. I can print these off onto two smaller cards that would fit in
your Bible, if that suited you. Please let me know at your convenience if the remarks

Good Morning,
RE: Fuel subsidy
I hope Governor Palin doesn't give credence to those who would try to effect social
engineering by keeping fuel prices high.
I think it is only reasonable that residents of an energy rich State like ours should
recieve some sort of direct benifit from those resources.
A subsidy at the supplier level seems a logical course.

Subject: Energy issues
Governor:
We have made progress getting details on costs, federal tax issues, coverage issues, impacts on Alaskans
through deductions or setoffs that our energy program benefits would have on existing federal assistance
programs like foodstamps, etc. (hold harmless issues) and several other misc. issues. The federal tax issue is
one of the most important issues because if we can avoid federal taxes, we avoid losing 20-30% of every dollar
we put into the program to taxes.
There are a iot of rumors in the halls about these issues. Our goal is to get th e facts to Steve so he can put
together the best possible proposals for payments to utilities and debit cards.

Subject: 2 million dollars for Bethel pool
Dear Governor Palin
I am writing you again hoping you will revisit your veto of $2 million dollars for the swimming pool for the Bethel
region. I recently sent you the drowning statistics since the 1990*5 and newspaper clippings giving you the history
of our effort to get a swimming pool/multi use facility. I don't know that you would have received it before the veto
but I am hoping you can look that over as part of your reconsideration. Not only do we believe this will provide the
opportunity to learn water safety and how to swim, it will also provide theraputic opportunities and provide a much
needed healthy alternative to address some of our problems such as diabeties, obesity and alcoholism. Healthy
outlets for all people living out here are much needed.
The citizens of Bethel showed their support by voting in a one cent increase on the sales tax for two years then a half a
cent for 1 8 years for the operation, maintenance & construction for this project. An endowment fund is being set up
so that 20 years from now when the sales tax ends we can still pay for it. Your reconsideration would support our
efforts. Please call me at 543-3239 (home) at any time if you have questions.
Sincerely,
Beverly A. Hoffman, Chair
Bethel Ad Hoc Recreation Facility Committee

I just recently read an article on you. To be honest I had never heard about you till
then, I live in Oklahoma, so all you heard about is this state. You sound like a real

kind of person that writes letters or sends emails, but something told me to write you,
maybe it is because I am worried about this country and the up coming elections. The
article I read, said you would be a good choice for V.P. running mate for McCain. I am
really not a McCain fan, and I am NOT an Obama fan. In this country I believe the
Presidency is bought, who has the most money, backed by big companies. I wished we had
more people like you running for President and running this country, you would have my

Mike, I received your update newsletter yesterday and am disappointed that the
appropriation for upgrades to the safety and functionality of this road was vetoed by
Gov. Palin. I will try to further the issue with her office and see if something can't be
done to correct the dangerous deficiencies present on this road.
I have been working with two of our Assemblypersons, Chris and Sheila, to keep this
problem in the spotlight (see forwarded message trail) and I will be attending the LRSA
board meeting on the 9th (next Monday evening). Hopefully we can get this corrected
before we see an accident involving a runner or a bicyclist.
Thanks for all your efforts.

Governor Palin,
As a homeowner on Nancy Lake I was extremely disheartened and disappointed to see that you
vetoed the budget request to upgrade our roads on the "Nancy Lake Peninsula". These roads
were never developed to any standards, let alone borough standards.
The Nancy Lake Homeowners Association worked through the prioritization and ranking
process with the Borough Roads Supervisors and Jim Norcross who identified this as the
number one request from this road district. It then went to the Mat-Su Borough who also
identified this as their highest priority budget request for this district.
PRA GSP01 0019011
Sen Huggins and Rep Nuemann both fully supported this project.
You asked that budget request projects be vetted, ranked and have support from all
regulatory, governing and oversight bodies to make it through your vetting process. This
project had all of that, and more.
As such, we are totally dismayed and confused that you would not only veto a portion of
this funding request, but that you vetoed the entire request.
Please advise what we need to do to receive budget funding approval from your
administration for this project next year, when our request will be for more money as
fuel, labor and material costs will be significantly higher.
Respectfully submitted,
Devery Prince, President

Marty- the six weeks of mid-June through July are the most valuable days in AK for travel
to communities I haven 't been able to access through winter months - and I may actually
see the King Air available for a bit of my travel in July (DPS is promising I T 11 get my
turn to use it at least a few times soon! I hope...) - so I need to know how important it
actually is to spend some of those days in Canada. I'd rather spend the time working in AK
communities during these coming weeks, unless you believe an Ottawa visit is very
important at this time.

.♦.a bi-weekly update on U.S. Department of Education activities relevant to the
Intergovernmental and Corporate community and other stakeholders
COMMENCEMENT ADDRESSES
In both of his 2008 commencement addresses — at the Air Force Academy on May 28
flb-ttp: / / www.whitehouse.gov/news /releases /20Q8 /05/20080528-2.htmR and Furrnan University on
May 31 ' (http://www.whitehouse.gov/news /releases /2008 /OS /20Q8053 1 -3.html) -- President Bush
extolled students for "a resurgence of personal responsibility" and pushed them to continue their
commitment to family, community, and country. "You're the 50th graduating class in the. history of
the academy, 11 the President noted before cadets in Colorado Springs. "Each of you is a volunteer
who stepped forward to accept the burdens of war, knowing all the dangers you would face upon
graduation. You willingly risk your lives and your futures so that our country can have a future of
freedom and peace. ... A nation that produces citizens of virtue, character, and courage like you can
overcome any challenge and defeat any adversary." Similarly, in Greenville, South Carolina: "I was
impressed when I heard that nearly two-thirds of you balanced your academic studies this year with
outreach to your community," the President said. "Through such works of compassion, you ve
learned early in life that nothing is more fulfilling than putting the needs of others ahead of your
own. ... And, as you leave this campus today, my call to you is this: strengthen this rising culture of
responsibility by serving others, contributing to our civic life, and being accountable to yourself and
your families."
COMMUNITY SERVICE
Continuing this thread, the final "Education News Parents Can Use" broadcast (June 17, 8:00-9:00
ET) of the 2007-08 season will showcase the work of the USA Freedom Corps, the Corporation for

PRA GSP01 0019033
ED Review (06/06/08) Page 2 of 4
National and Community Service, and othet federal, state, local, private, and philanthropic programs
devoted to creating a "culture of service and responsible citizenship." like the members of generations who
came before them, America's youth have time and talents to share with those in need. Solid research
indicates that young people have a lot to gain from volunteering « including increased academic
achievement, increased civic engagement, and positive character development — and, in turn, feel more
empowered and connected to their community. Through dedicated service, students can see how their
actions make an impact, are exposed to positive role models, and become vested in organizations that make
contributions to society. The broadcast will also feature a special segment on reading and learning during
the summer, highlighting the Department's Reading First program. FOR MORE INFORMATION,
PLEASE GO T O http://www.ed.gov/edtv/ . (You can watch archived webcasts at

thousands of volunteer opportunities by location and area of interest and tap resources to get started.
NCLB UPDATE
In a June 3 letter to Chief State School Officers
(http://www.ed.gOv/admins/lead/account/saa.htrnl#peerreview) . Assistant Secretary for Elementary and
Secondary Education Kerri Briggs commended states for the work they have done to implement high-
quality standards and assessment systems and furnished a fact sheet with information on the Departments
standards and assessment system status designations and implications of those designations. As of now, the
systems in 32 states have received "full approval" or "fall approval with recommendations," while the
systems in three states have been designated "approval expected." It is unlikely that all the remaining states
will have fully approved standards and assessment systems by the end of the 2007-08 school year.
Moreover, some states that have approved systems may revise their standards or assessments in ways that
result in systems that do not meet all No Child heft Behind requirements. Accordingly, the Department will
continue its usual practice of designating states to reflect their level of compliance.
Starting next week, The Achiever newsletter will be available solely online, providing a greater focus on how ,
successful schools across the U.S. are working toward the goal of the No Child Left Behind Act. to have every
student reading and doing math at grade-level by 2014. The latest story, presented as a photo narrative,
spotlights a Kansas school on a military base. At one time, Ware Elementary School was considered a
chronically under-performing school. Today, as a result of specific reforms (detailed within), 99.6% of
students are proficient in reading and 100% of students are proficient in math. And, Ware has exceeded the
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) goals for Kansas, earned a No Child heft Behind 'Blue Ribbon School
designation, and received a Title I Distinguished School Award. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE
GO T O http://www.ed.gov/achiever/ .
Education Week's third-annual "Diploma Counts" report explores the rapid growth of state-level P-l 6 or P-20
councils and how they seek to create a more seamless schooling continuum. The report also updates a
unique, online mapping tool that allows users to zoom in on each of the nation's school districts and access
graduation rate data for that district or its high schools. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE GO TO

OSDFS GRANTS
On June 4, Secretary Spellings announced new awards under two discretionary grant programs administered
by the Department's Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools (OSDFS). First she announced $24 million in
grants to 92 school districts in 34 states to help them enhance and fortify their readiness and emergency
-management plans. Plans must address all four phases of emergency management: prevention-mitigation,
preparedness, response, and recovery. Plans must also commit districts to: (1) coordinate with officials in
local government, law enforcement, public safety, public health, and mental health; (2) train school officials
in emergency management; and (3) supply a method for communicating emergency and reunification
procedures to parents. Second, she announced $5.78 million in grants to 49 districts and other entities in 20
states to develop and implement — or expand — school-based mandatory random or voluntary drug testing
programs for students in grades 6-12. Projects must be part of a comprehensive drug prevention program
in the schools served and cover the referral to counseling or treatment of students identified as users.
Projects must also be consistent with constitutional principles and state and federal laws and ensure the
confidentiality of testing results. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE GO TO
http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2008/06/06042008.html AND
http://wwwxd.gov/programs/drugtesiing/08awards.htrnl .
Also: The Bystander Study, a joint effort by the Department and Secret Service, identifies what might be
done to encourage students to share information they learn about potential school-based violence. FOR
MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE GO T O http://www.secretservice.gov/ntac/bvstander studv.pdf .
CONDITION OF EDUCATION 2008
On May 29, the Department's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) released its annual report
(required by law) on the condition of education in the U.S. "The Condition of Education 2008" includes 43
indicators in five major areas — participation in education, learner outcomes, student effort and educational
progress, elementary and secondary education contexts, and postsecondary education contexts. (Later this
summer, NCES will release a special analysis on community colleges.) Among the findings: in 2009-10,
public school enrollment is expected to top 50 million students for the first time in history; in 2005-06,

QUOTE TO NOTE
M [T]he best way, by far, to improve economic opportunity and to reduce inequality is to increase the
educational attainment and skills of American workers. . .. As we think about improving education and
skills, we should also look beyond the traditional K-12 and four-year college system, as important as it is, to
recognize that education should be lifelong and can come in many forms. Early childhood education,
community colleges, vocational schools, on-the-job training, online courses, adult education — all of these
are vehicles of demonstrated value in increasing skills and lifetime earning power."
- Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke (6/4/08), addressing Harvard Colleges graduating seniors on
Class Day

Subject: PSEA ratified Friday
I forgot to mention - ballots were counted on Friday June 6 - and PSEA ratified our
offer. This contract is difficult to briefly explain because it contains so many
premium pays, but essentially the offer was:
5% increase July 1 , 2008
Service steps beginning July 1, 2008
One-time only step increase for Bachelor's degree
Field Training Officers receive 7.5% increase up from 5% increase over salary for
stepping up and being a training officer. Hopefully, this will mean that only the best
will be selected to be training officers.
For obtaining an Intermediate or Advanced Police Certificate issued by the Police
Standards Council - 3.75%
3% increase July 1, 2009
3% increase July 1, 2010
We faced competition from other police departments (most notably MO A), but were
able to structure a competitive offer that I believe will help with recruitment and
retention of employees who the State has invested much to train.
IBU - one of the maritime unions has ballots out and well see if they turn down the
offer we made to them. Deadline is June 27. It could go either way, as the Masters,
Mates and Pilots and Marine Engineers Beneficial Association are dragging their
collective feet on agreements.
Once maritime contracts are settled, we can focus on other things (EEO Plan,
grievances, Labor Department Building, Recruitment and Retention) until September
when we begin negotiations with the Correctional Officers (ACOA).
