I lived through the Hickel and Hammond years, when Alaska was truly lead by two great Governors. Palin caused far more turmoil in the State than she ever prevented. Her half term was a disaster.
She upset the Oil industry at Prudhoe Bay to the point where they were forced to nearly shut down. She nearly bankrupted Wasilla in her second term as Mayor. Wasilla’s debt started at 1 Million at the beginning of her second term and ended at 25 Million when she quit. Even the Wall Sreet Journal called the result of her second term; “A Financial Mess”.
Of course Palin also did some things that offset the effects of her tendency to spend, but as a whole, she did not exactly create a strong legacy like Wally Hickel or Jay Hammond did. She is not even close to being in their league.
She put the bond issue to the voters. They approved it. It's been paid.
