Here is the part that, to me, showed just how fed up she was with everything she's been dealing with. Can she turn this into a positive, a selfless move designed to allow Alaska to get back to business? I think it's going to be a tough sell to anyone who wasn't already a fan.
Political operatives descended on Alaska last August, digging for dirt. The ethics law I championed became their weapon of choice. Over the past nine months I've been accused of all sorts of frivolous ethics violations – such as holding a fish in a photograph, wearing a jacket with a logo on it, and answering reporters’ questions.

From the Detroit News:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says her advocacy for cap-and-trade is all about "jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs." But there's no evidence that employment has grown anywhere in the world because of energy mandates such as cap-and-trade.

Uneasy Recovery for Southern Israel - Heather Sharp Six months after her sister Irit Shitrit's death in a Palestinian rocket strike, Ayelet Modoh, 37, describes how the missile exploded as the two sisters headed home from the gym in the city of Ashdod. The siren sounded, they got out of the car, and discussed where to lie on the ground because they could not find a shelter.

Clyde went through some of the bill and found some gems, but Pundit and Pundette have a few more via And So It Goes In Shreveport.
And how will this bill affect you? It has regulations on every single aspect of your daily life.
