Query: Ballot initiatives mean diddly squat, AKfox.  In 2002, well over 60% of voters approved the initiative to build the gasline and we even created an oil and gas commission.  The commission is hauling in millions in income, but it's 14 years later and we still don't have a gasline because Big Oil and the Republican majority are blocking the 14-year-old initiative without a fight from the voters.

Secondly, voters also passed a ballot measure to tax the cruise ship passengers a $50 head tax, but when Parnell was voted into office, and in the first six months, he flew to Florida and met with the cruise ship CEOs and pledge to not only roll back the head tax, but water down Alaska's Clean Water legislation.  Apparently governors can do what they want with citizens' initiatives without a voter fight.  And don't forget that it was the Republican majority that passed legislation years ago upping the ante on making it more difficult for voters to collect signatures.
