POLL: Should Gov. Sarah Palin be allowed to give her opinion?
Recently Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has been in the news again, this time for taking a position on ballot initiatives in her state.
According to Politico:
“The Alaska Public Offices Commission found Friday night that she did not violate state election laws by announcing her position on a controversial ballot measure requiring tougher environmental standards for new mines.”
We want to hear from you: “Do you think public officials should be able to weigh in on ballot initiatives?”
At Blockbuster Democracy they point out that Governor Palin’s support for a ballot initiative is not a novel idea. “Governors all over the country —- both Democrats (Ritter of Colorado and Napolitano of Arizona most recently) and Republicans (Schwarzenegger) — have led such campaigns, even drafting and sponsoring initiatives themselves.”
