Palin Speaks Up in Alaska

Sarah Palin “resurfaced in Alaska politics Wednesday, calling an Anchorage radio talk show to heap praise on the former oil tax regime she helped put into law, take a jab at Gov. Sean Parnell’s ties to the oil industry, and all but endorse one of his opponents in this year’s governor’s race, attorney Bill Walker,” the Anchorage Daily News reports.

“An elusive and enigmatic presence in Alaska after she became a national celebrity and resigned as governor in 2009, Palin has long been quiet in state politics.”
