The state is getting set to release thousands of emails sent by Sarah Palin while she was governor of Alaska.

The emails were requested from news organizations around the country during Palin’s run for vice president in 2008.

But despite the wait, not all of the emails will be made public.

The State of Alaska Department of Law said some of the information is considered personal or exempt under the state constitution.

Other emails might be withheld because, under state statute, they were made under the deliberative process rule, meaning they were exchanged as part of a general discussion, leading up to a decision.

The state is printing up more than 24,000 pages, which it plans to put in the mail to news organizations that requested them at a cost of more than $700.

Since the emails that had the really pertinant information will never be seen by the public, there is probably not much of interest in the ones you have. As far as giving the Palins any respect, the best respect we could give that money grubbing trash is to send them to Mexico on a perminant VISA.

Why release documents? Put all this stuff on a DVD and save about $10,000 in mailing costs.

Sorry Denise but she should not be shown any respect. She quit on the people of the State who entrusted her to do a job, for BETTER or for WORSE, and she let everyone down. She is a money grubbing quitter, and has nothing coming from the People of Alaska.

Please stop the gossip about Sarah ... she should be shown the same respect as all our Governors whether she is liked or not... how about doing news on all the positive things she has done for our state in support of her ... I am tired of all the negative coming out of our news on every topic... tell something kind for a change ... thank you from an Alaskan in support of Sarah Palin who did good things for us when the market crashed and such!!!!
