Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin signs one of the three budget bills into law in Anchorage today. Palin cut more than a quarter billion dollars from the $1.8 billion capital budget the Legislature sent to her. Palin was born in Sandpoint and later attended North Idaho College and University of Idaho.

Question: Do you wish Idaho governors spent more time swinging a budget ax rather than simply talking about doing so?
