Alaska political corruption
When the FBI raided state legislature offices in Aug. 2006, it publicly launched an investigation that ultimately reached the highest levels of Alaska politics, and continues to this day.

Palin surveys Interior flooding, says she's not going to the East Coast

Posted: May 7, 2009 - 2:39 pm
From Sean Cockerham in Anchorage –
Gov. Sarah Palin won’t be going to the East Coast this weekend after all.
The First Dude will take her place at the White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington, D.C., reportedly as a guest of Fox News.
Todd Palin will also fill in at an Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute event Friday in New York that had the governor as featured guest.
The governor’s office has been saying all week that Palin might not go on the trip. Palin said today she's decided to stay in Alaska because of the severity of the flooding in the Interior.
Her office said she’ll be meeting with village leaders in Fort Yukon and flying over Eagle and Circle today.
