"Alaska recently had its bond rating raised to AAA for the first time in the state's history, largely due to fiscal improvements brought about by Sarah Palin while she was governor. The state currently enjoys a $12 billion budget surplus"

It was largely because Palin raised taxes. Specifically, the state oil tax. Her central achievement as governor was signing a law, Alaska's Clear and Equitable Share (ACES), that dramatically increased the state's share of oil profits just as oil prices began to take off. There's a direct line between increased revenue and improved fiscal health.
Just in case that little tidbit is missed by the skimmers.

You mean they broadened the tax base, which is exactly what the Obama debt commission suggested, the GOP and Tea Partiers wanted, but Democrats object to?

More repating of lies? Dam, dont you liberals ever get tired of being wrong? Alaska got the most REVENUES per occupant, but thats because the federal government is BUYING the oil.

It looked like Governor Palin picked on one industry, the one with the biggest pockets.
