Lt. Gov Parnell to take run at Young
March 15, 2008
Sean Parnell announced at the republican convention that he will be running against Don Young for Congress this election season and I say yay!
ADN:
“In an Alaska political shocker, Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell announced Friday before a crowd at the Republican Party convention that he is challenging embattled U.S. Rep. Don Young in the August Republican primary. “I just think it’s about restoring trust to government,” Parnell said. Young, attending the convention, had a quick response: Bring it on. Young, who has won 18 times as Alaska’s lone congressman, says his seniority is what counts. “A 35-year head start,” Parnell called it.
Parnell immediately got the backing of Gov. Sarah Palin, whose husband, parents and siblings were part of a cheering group gathered outside of the state Division of Elections for Parnell’s news conference on entering the race.”
Alaska’s Palin, Miss Congeniality, Makes Exxon, Conoco Comply
March 3, 2008
Bloomberg.com:
“Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, a former beauty pageant winner, is succeeding where Venezuela President Hugo Chavez, a former paratrooper and military coup leader, so far has failed.
Palin threatened to evict Exxon Mobil Corp., the world’s biggest oil company, and partners BP Plc, Chevron Corp. and ConocoPhillips from a state-owned gas field, winning their promise to increase Alaska’s natural-gas output 17 percent. She raised taxes on oil profits by $1.5 billion a year and rejected industry ownership of a $25 billion pipeline.
Politicians and energy companies are haggling for revenue with oil around $100 a barrel. Exxon and partners say higher taxes may lead to fewer investments in Alaska, home to the second-largest U.S. reserves behind Texas. None has quit the state. Exxon and ConocoPhillips last year left Venezuela rather than accept lower profits when Chavez seized oil fields.”
