Governor Palin Signs House and Senate Bills

May 15, 2009, Anchorage, Alaska - Governor Sarah Palin today signed two bills into law that will provide a grace period for charter schools experiencing decreased enrollment and authorize the state to enroll in the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children.

“It is so important Alaska’s parents have opportunities to choose what's best for their children’s education,” Governor Palin said. “I appreciate the hard work of all the legislators who spearheaded these bills from introduction to final passage.”

Senate Bill 57, sponsored by Senator Joe Thomas, provides a one-year grace period for charter schools and alternative schools experiencing a decline in enrollment that would make them ineligible for “separate school” status. The legislation also lowers the separate-school threshold for alternative schools from 200 to 175.

Now the Fairbanks News-Miner is whining about the Governor not disclosing how much money her book advance is worth, even quoting that dirtbag Keith Olbermann's suggestion that Palin's book deal with HarperCollins represents a political gift from Rupert Murdoch. GMAB.

Full Disclosure

Another update...this info came from a post over at C4P by 'ugafish':

Seems Gov. Palin has hired another lawyer, Randy Evans, who leaves his post as the General Counsel for the Georgia GOP. From the AJC politics blog:

Savannah — Notes from this morning’s session of the state GOP convention:

This morning at breakfast, state GOP chairman Sue Everhart formally announced the end of Randy Evans’tenure as the party’s legal counsel.

Evans was leaving her for Sarah Palin, she said.

Which was an interesting statement. Palin just announced a book contract, if you recall. And Evans’ has negotiated many, many contracts for books by prominent Republicans, including Newt Gingrich and J.C. Watts, who just finished addressing the convention. Evans remains legal counsel for both.

During a spare moment, we were able to ask Evans if he had negotiated Palin’s book deal. He declined to answer — but acknowledged he is now doing legal work for Palin. “I’m not going to say what I’m doing,” he said. “I represent a lot of people.”

Who knows what this means but it's interesting. Evans supposedly has very close ties to Newt Gingrich.
