Everyone here was tired of the systemic corruption in Juneau. She rode in on the wave of disgust with indicted legislators and a very unpopular governor. She has been able to maintain that facade and remained very popular thanks to the liberal press and her attack on big business here. She has also raised taxes on the the oil companies to excesses and is now redistributing the excess to the voting public. Each resident (man, woman and child) gets a $1200 energy rebate check this year along with the annual permafund dividend of $2100. If you think $3300/person in your family doesn't help to get the popularity vote then we live in different worlds. Somehow it doesn't sound to conservative to me, and yes my wife and I will be getting $6,600 automatically deposited into our account next month.
Every state capital has it (I should know, I live in Columbus), but you would know Alaska better than I, so I believe it.
So, who's your candidate?
