By Renee Schoof of McClatchey News: Recently, Palin publicly said she'd vote no on a state initiative that said no large metal mines would be permitted to pollute streams where salmon spawn. The initiative was aimed at the Pebble mine near Bristol Bay, a major fishery. Voters defeated it on Tuesday. Palin hasn't made a definitive statement about the mine, but the initiative was targeted at it.
Troll said that Palin has been a supporter of state funding for renewable energy initiatives, but has a "failing record" on wildlife.
She also said the governor supports hunting wolves and bears from the air and differs with environmentalists on a number of wildlife issues. The League of Conservation Voters, an advocacy group that backs pro-environment candidates, said it was disappointed with McCain's choice of Palin.
I didn't know that bears were included in her support for hunting wolves from the air.
