capital-move premonition, and Republicans throughout Southeast Alaska should take note.” [Juneau Empire (AK), editorial, 3/5/06] Palin Said She Does Not Support Moving the Capital To Another City. In an op-ed, Palin wrote, “Earlier this year, the Juneau Empire asked for my position on moving the capital. This was the first and only time this specific question was posed in the early campaign season. My statement hasn't changed: I do not support moving the capital -- Alaska's seat of government -- to another city.” [Palin op-ed, Ketchikan Daily News, 8/10/06] Palin Said During a Debate that the Capital Should Stay “In Southeast” But that the Legislature Should Have Hearings or Special Sessions In More Accessible Places. The Anchorage Daily News reported that during a debate, “As for the notion of moving the Capitol out of Juneau, Palin said the star should stay on the map in Southeast, but the state should consider holding some Legislative hearings or special sessions where they’re more accessible.” [Anchorage Daily News (Alaska), 8/18/06] Headline: “Palin: Legislature should hold meetings in ‘places where people can participate’” [Juneau Empire (AK), 2/26/06] Palin Said the Government Should Meet Where More People “Can Participate,” But Denied that She Wanted to Move the Capital. In 2006, Palin said, “If we shrink the legislative session, especially now down to 90 days, which is being proposed, it’s all the more reason for legislators to start thinking about holding meetings during the interim, or even during the regular session, (in) places where people can participate,” said the Republican candidate at a Juneau meet-and-greet Thursday evening. “Where they could actually drive to,” she added. The Juneau Empire wrote, “<strong>PALIN</strong> said she does not support moving the capital - the seat of government and its jobs - to another city, but that the Legislature is too isolated in Juneau from the rest of the state.” “It doesn’t have to be the whole 90 days, or even the majority of those days,” she said. “But the Legislature, as they presently can, would be wise to start getting out and about and bringing more Alaskans in, bringing them in to the table to participate in their government.” [Juneau Empire (AK), 2/26/06] 2002: All Candidates But Palin Voiced Opposition to Moving Legislative Session. “All the candidates but Palin voiced clear opposition to the November ballot measure that would move legislative sessions to the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. Palin was quoted by KTOO-TV last September saying she supports moving the session, but has said in recent months that she does not have a position on the matter.” [Juneau Empire (AK), 8/14/02] Palin Said (On TV) That Moving the Legislative Session to Mat-Sun Would Serve the “Greater Good” And that Juneau Could Withstand it Because of Its Strong Tourism Industry. In September 2001, three months before she announced her candidacy for lieutenant governor, Palin told a Wasilla reporter working for Juneau’s KTOO-TV she supported moving the legislative session to Mat-Su and that moving the session would serve the “greater good” because it would make the Legislature more accessible. Palin said she was not convinced a session move would adversely affect the economies of Southeast communities, including Juneau. “I’m comfortable supporting this because I know Juneau has a strong, strong tourism industry,” Palin said on a recording of the nine-minute interview kept by KTOO- TV. The Juneau Empire wrote, “She went a step further, saying the measure would help Juneau because it would give more Alaskans access to the Legislature and thereby improve the laws that affect all residents. ‘If moving the legislative session helps the laws that affect all of us, then I’m a supporter of that,’ Palin said.” [Juneau Empire (AK), 1/25/02]
2002: Palin Opposed Moving Capital From Juneau. In January 2002, the Juneau Empire reported that during a speech to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce, “Palin also told the chamber she does not support moving the capital and that Juneau’s battle to keep state government here might end if the capital city were connected to the rest of the state by road, prompting applause from the crowd of about 70 people.” [Juneau Empire (AK), 1/25/02] Palin Walked Back from Earlier Support of Moving State Legislative Session, Because It Might Violate Law Requiring Voters To Approve Funds to Move Capital, but Said She Was Undecided. The Juneau Empire reported, “Wasilla Mayor Sarah Palin strongly supported an initiative to move the legislative session to her borough four months ago but distanced herself from the measure on Thursday in a speech in Juneau. Palin, a Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, told the Juneau Chamber of Commerce she has reservations about the measure because it would repeal a portion of the so-called FRANK initiative - a law requiring a public vote before the state may spend money to move the Legislature. ‘That scares a lot of people,’ said Palin, 37, in her first public address to Juneau business and civic leaders since announcing her candidacy for statewide office in December. However, it is unclear how she would vote on the measure, which would move the session to the Matanuska-Susitna Borough by 2005. Palin told the chamber she signed a petition in August to get the question on the ballot ‘in the spirit of valley unity’ and to give voters a say. But she did not state her position on the initiative. Palin repeatedly deflected the question after the chamber meeting, then said she was undecided. ‘There is a part of me that says it makes sense to allow a more accessible 120 days of meetings,’ said Palin. But she said the provision to repeal part of the FRANK initiative caused her ‘great concern.’” [Juneau Empire (AK), 1/25/02] After Signing Petition to Move Legislature, Palin Said She Had Concerns About the Cost (While She Was Running for Lt. Gov—Check Timeline. “An initiative to move state legislative sessions to the Matanuska-Susitna Borough has more than enough signatures to get on the ballot this November, election officials said Tuesday. … Wasilla Mayor Sarah Palin, who signed the initiative and had been an early supporter, now says she has concerns about it, mostly dealing with the cost of such a move. She also said the initiative doesn’t seem to be a high priority among residents.” [Anchorage Daily News, 2/27/02] Palin Signed Initiative Petition to Bring Legislature to the Valley Instead of Juneau, Anchorage Daily News Said she Had “No Qualms,” She Said, “Our Arms Are Wide Open for the Legislature To Meet Here.” The Anchorage Daily News wrote, “Three Mat-Su-area mayors have signed an initiative petition that, if approved by voters, would require the Legislature to hold sessions in the Valley instead of Juneau….Wasilla Mayor Sarah Palin had no qualms about signing the measure. ‘Our arms are wide open for the Legislature to meet here,’ she said.” [Anchorage Daily News (Alaska), 8/17/01] Palin Said She Would Oppose Spending Wasilla Money on An Ad Campaign to Bring Capital to Wasilla. In 1994, when there was a debate whether to spend $250,000 in city dollars on an ad campaign to bring the state capital to Wasilla, the Anchorage Daily News wrote, “Sarah Palin said she’d vote against spending city money.” [Anchorage Daily News (AK), 8/23/94] Palin Signed Resolution Supporting Moving Legislative Sessions to Mat-Su Valley. In 2001, Palin signed a resolution “in support of moving the Alaska state legislative sessions to the Matanuska-Susitna borough.” [Resolution 01-26, 7/23/2001] Censorship
