ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Gov. Sarah Palin says she would not accept a raise recommended by the State Officers Compensation Commission. Palin spokesman Bill McAllister said Wednesday that if the Legislature submits legislation for a raise, Palin will not accept the money. Instead, if the raise is approved, she will subtract the difference from her current salary and donate it to charity or find a way to redirect the funds for the benefit of others, McAllister said.

I haven't seen ANY estimates of oil prices starting from mid-2009

From the Department of Energy:

WTI prices are expected to average $51 per barrel in 2009. Alaska Crude sells for a discount to WTI.

My point was that you could make a case for the $74 based on the current plan to reinflate the economy

No you can't. And the Alaska Department of Revenue doesn't even try, it simple refers to the $74 being based upon earlier estimates before the current market conditions.
