Democratic Ethan Berkowitz hopes Alaskans want a change.Parnell continues to embrace Palin’s plan for a proposed pipeline to move North Slope natural gas to market. The law awarded an exclusive state license to build the pipeline and $500 million in state incentives to get the $30 billion project moving.
