Community leaders worry Palin ignoring their concerns

Local municipal leaders are complaining Governor Sarah Palin is not living up to her campaign promise of an open and transparent government.
Members of the Alaska Municipal League gathering in Juneau said they are disappointed with the administration’s efforts to help Alaska’s communities. And some are upset they can’t get a hearing with her to talk about it.

AML President Tim Beck of Fairbanks says members were pleased with her efforts to reinstate municipal assistance last year. But they lost confidence when she obliterated scores of local community projects around the state with her veto pen this summer.

Palin told the group her administration would work with local governments this year to help meet their priorities.
