21. You don't know Sean Parnell.

Say what anyone will about Sarah, at least when she was governor, she worked in a bipartisan fashion actually working with the Democrats to craft a couple of really good bills, most particularly our ACES bill which makes sure that Alaska gets its fair share of the revenues from the oil being produced up here. Sean wants to roll all that back and give the Big Three oil companies (BP, CP and Exxon) an extra $2 billion a year in "incentives" without any kind of guarantee at all from them that they will actually produce. It's a long and complicated issue, but he's so in the pocket of Big Oil that his own party refused to pass two of his proposed bills on this subject.

Like I said, long and complicated, but he is truly a disaster. He has continued the worst of Sarah's policies with regard to wildlife management, etc., and added a bunch of stinkers all on his own. He's horrible.


In case anyone feels sorry for the oil companies, Conoco-Phillips alone made over $600 million in profit in Alaska the first three months of 2012. Poor babies, obviously they need more tax breaks.
