Breaking news--
AP: 26 Oct 2008
"Gov. Sarah Palin's signature accomplishment--a contract to build a 1,715 mile pipeline to bring natural gas from Alaska to the Lower 48--emerged from flawed bidding process that narrowed the field to a company with ties to her administration, a Associated Press investigation shows."...
"Most definitely, TransCanada got a sweetheart deal this time" said Republican Sen. Bert Stedman, who voted against the TransCanada license. "Where else could you get a $500 million reimbursement when you don't even have the financing to build the pipeline?"
My comment: This may not help her "reformer" image.
I think we'll be hearing more about this issue.
