The most recent articles in the Alaska press i've found on communications between the Palin administration and the Permanent Fund Corporation are from back before Palin was selected s Sen. John McCain's running mate.The first week of November, the Anchorage Daily News covered the fund's loss of about 25% of its value in the time since Palin had been selected. Meanwhile, there have undoubtedly been further serious losses.
Yesterday, on his KFQD-AM call-in program, Dan Fagan claimed that the Palin administration is not communicating back with the PFD directors, after they have requested advice on important matters concerning the current state of the fund in this extremely tenuous investment climate.
PA has been highly critical of the fluff coverage and coverups accorded to Palin and her cronies by the Anchorage Daily News and KTUU-TV, over a range of issues. It is time for them to seriously look at how the Palin administration is handling concerns by the PFD Corporation about the fund's status and future.
Update - 11:10 a.m: Gov. Palin is off to Georgia to campaign for Saxbee Chambliss, in the U.S. Senate runoff there. This will be her second trip to the U.S. Southeast since the election. I believe the last time our governor was in S.E. Alaska or the capital of Alaska was mid-July.

Phil, I hear she's going to Georgia to campaign for Saxby Chambliss. Is the state paying her travel expenses? Does she even know what her job is anymore?
I heard back before the GOP guv meet in FL that she was going to campaign for Chambliss. Why didn't she just stop off in GA on her way back to AK from FL?
That makes too much fiscal sense for our Sarah, who seems to have her head up her a** most of the time lately. I certainly hope those state legislators don't wimp out on us. I'm afraid the next two years are going to be l-o-n-g.
Actually, I would prefer that Sarah Palin stay far, far away from management of the Permanent Fund. Far away.
PB - I agree, but it is odd that the governor's financial people and the Pf Corp. people don't seem to be communicating.
What are the statutes regarding "dereliction of duty" for the governor.
If there is damage due to her non-Alaskan ventures she should be held accountable.
Is she going to take the kids with her on this trip too? Does she know she is supposed to be governing Alaska? Please keep her away from the Lower 48. Does she know which Georgia she is going to?

It figures Pay Pay would want to help out a chicken-hawk like Chamblis. He couldn't go to Vietnam because of a "bad knees" but it didn't stop him from playing baseball in college.

She's writing her book.
She sees herself having millions of dollars with no responsibilities.
Being Governor is no longer a payoff.
That's my opinion.
