1) Reduce property taxes by 75%. In exchange asked the voters whether they wanted a sale taxes for the sport complex.

I see nothing wrong with this

3) She raised taxes on energy companies from 1% to I think 3% royalty after having to renegotiate the term of the contract because the initial contract were struck by corrupt officials, some of which ended up in jail or fined. She also reduced state subsidies to these energy companies, forcing these companies to raise their own capitals.

She doesn’t believe in man made global warming at all, but regardless of the reason, she support all the above strategy for solving the energy problem in the US. This was in the Gibson interview

4) She forward funded AK education by $1billion, making sure education was properly funded

These are the only ones I know the answer to

“4) She forward funded AK education by $1billion, making sure education was properly funded””

you and I know that doesn’t mean anything.
I decided to check out the Fordham Institute, a conservative think tank for educational reform. Alaska’s educational standards were rated F in English in 2010 from a D in 2005 (D’s for both years in math).

Gov Palin also rejected the Common Core standards which would’ve corrected this problem.

Now, if Gov Perry were to run, he wouldn’t bring up that issue because Texas isn’t any better. But other governors with A ratings may decide to run
