Article seems to have a lot of detail. The newspaper appears to have initially contacted Palin for a comment about her speeding ticket yesterday, but this seems to be much more involved.

Good read.

The article states the voters will be able to decide the issue in August.

Curious as to the ads running in Alaska NOW until that vote. I’d bet the oil companies are throwing millions of dollars in BS at this one.

I got a ticket in the same speed trap. It cost me $ 300.00.

She explained the speeding ticket as, “I wasn’t speeding, I was qualifying.”

Here's the great thing about this issue-remember this photo of all the Alaska democrats with the Obama '08 signs everyone here at FR hated? Those democrats are the ones now supporting Palin's ACES. Even the state's private sector unions are against a return to Palin's ACES. Not the public sector unions though, and that should tell you a lot. ACES was a pure populist "windfall profits" tax structure, and it drove oil company investment from the state. It deserved to die.

I think it was excerpt only. And it’s not a McClatchy rag anymore, if that makes a difference. Alaska Dispatch bought them out.
