Juneau

JUNEAU, Alaska - Gov. Sean Parnell took aim at the federal government in his first State of the State address Wednesday night, saying federal actions - on endangered species protections, issues of land access, health care - "often seem at war with Alaskan interests." It's a position that plays well in Alaska, a live-and-let-live state where the unemployment rate has reached its highest level in at least 17 years, and where the economy is almost wholly reliant on oil, gas and other natural resources.
