...she told the Anchorage Daily News on October 22, 2006, back when she was running for governor (via Nexis):
Would you continue state funding for the proposed Knik Arm and Gravina
Island bridges?
Yes. I would like to see Alaska's infrastructure projects built sooner
rather than later. The window is now--while our congressional delegation is in a
strong position to assist.
So she was very much for the bridge and seemed to be saying that Alaska had to act quickly—Ted Stevens and Don Young might not be in the majority much longer to secure pork for the state.
That brings her accomplishments down to 1.) Moving the Alaska legislature from Juneau to Fairbanks and 2.) Lowering property taxes in Wassila. Both pressing matters for the nation.

What excellent research! Hopefully, as many reporters start to dig through her record, it will become clear that she is not the darling that the RIGHT has annointed her!
It is almost like having the Mayor of Oswego, New York being named a VP candidate.
Great job, expat!
