This week I decided to read an article about Sarah Palin, Alaska's governor. I kind of debated on whether to write about this or not because of some of our restrictions for this class which are limited but still taking into consideration. At last, I figured it would be ok to write about because this article has to do with politics and it is in the today's lifestyle. This article says that Palin has hard a time getting back into her normal routine of governing in Alaska. It appears that she has not been pushing any laws nor have the lawmakers had any choice about it. There is at least one bill that has been passed and that is because of the rush of oil revenues that helped Palin press for big ticket projects in the past has been replaced by a budget deficit that will require taking at least $1 billion out of state savings.
The biggest policy fight has been over how much federal stimulus money the state should accept. The governor held a news conference at first to say that she would accept only 55% of the $930 million available. She soon signaled her willingness to accept more, though not enough for lawmakers.
To end this conversation, just asking out of curiousisty, will Palin run for govenor in 2010? and then President?
