| Description | Alaska's budget, states' rights and energy policy were three main topics of a question-and-answer session of the four Republican gubernatorial candidates at the start of this weekend's state Republican convention, held in Juneau for the first time in two decades.
Gov. Sean Parnell and challengers Ralph Samuels, Bill Walker and Gerald Heikes each had five minutes to pitch their platforms and background, and 60 seconds to answer submitted questions from delegates on health care reform, the Tea Party, the state capital budget, infrastructure, rural education and other topics.
The session was moderated by co-chair of the Capital City Republicans Ben Brown. It was, Brown said, the first time all four declared Republican candidates gathered to address an audience together.
Samuels, Walker and Heikes all said Alaska should have already filed a lawsuit against Congress' health care reform, putting Parnell on the defensive.
"It's an easy bumper sticker to say we should have sued already," Parnell said. |
