Mark Hayden...Nice catch. Yes, two years ago Parnell was still governator, oil was slipping from about $104.00 per bbl and dropped to the low nineties. They even then planned a budget around $100 plus per bbl. As far as Chenaults "diversity" statement about political beliefs and blah, blah, the fact is Tom Wright his Chief of Staff would make the rounds to every repubos office and lay down the "law" as to how they would vote. Just as ask Lora Rheinbolt. This year Chenault met stiffer  opposition from the gang of 60 in Juneau and couldn't quite make it past the "bleating' of the ranny ones.  You all know he announced he wouldn't seek the speakership next year. Guess why?
