May 21, 2009, Juneau, Alaska – Governor Palin today signed six bills today but most importantly the FY2010 Operating Budget & the FY2010 Capital Budget. “We submitted a responsible, fiscally conservative budget,” Governor Palin said. “Given the current revenue outlook and economic conditions, we must focus on providing essential public services, while continuing to invest in communities and resource development that will fuel our economy in the future.
The operating budget bill totals $8.7 billion (down from $11.1 billion) and includes funding for public education, the university, public health and safety, transportation, and resource development. “We have taken significant steps to slow government growth and achieve savings in the current fiscal year,” Governor Palin said. “This administration takes fiscal responsibility seriously and reducing expenditures will extend the life of our savings accounts.”
The capital budget bill, SB 75, which totals $1.87 billion (down from $3.6 billion), was also signed today. “This capital budget contains a number of projects, including transportation, schools, and public safety, which will help communities across the state improve infrastructure and bolster the economy,” said Palin. “With the robust capital budgets of the past two years and this capital spending bill, Alaskans will see many improvements and additional job opportunities.” “I appreciate the legislators working with us on the budget during these challenging economic times,” Governor Palin said. “The conservative spending plan I signed today will provide basic government services, leverage additional federal and other funds, and make a significant investment in Alaska’s future.”
For now we can only imagine having Governor Palin in Washington. The embarrassment Øbama is quickly bankrupting and weakening the USA faster then even the fool Jimmy Carter. The mess Carter created brought us Governor Reagan and the disaster "tele-prompter of the 57 United States" will bring us Governor Palin.
Yes, but was she ever a community organizer?

Sarah, PLEASE be my Governor!! Imagine that, a Governor that actually CUTS spending instead of increasing them. WOW what a concept.
Alaska CANNOT be a real place.
This is just to bizarre! I am seriously freaking out!!!
Alaska is real. Inbetween Oz and la-la land, there’s a small section of truth just waiting to be discovered. :)
It’s official. She’s running for president.

She is a conservative and I will only vote for a conservative. Palin, get it done.
Then, RAM IT DOWN THEIR THROATS!!!!
Ah but we know she can pick up that little skill. After all, o did. Now if he could just learn other things-—Seriously it does sound like Sarah has a very capable head on her shoulders. I have to wonder though with the massive corruption in Washington why would any sane person take that on. Course it is that or just throw in the towel totally.
Sarah, please give your fellow Governator in California some tips on how to reduce a budget.
I insist you not use such coarse metaphors when speaking of my future President.
And if by "sheet" you mean a college diploma, she already has one from the University of Idaho.
