From Eric Dondero:
The Alaska House has a heavy majority of Republicans. However, the Senate side is split 10 to 10, Repub to Dem. Alaska's usually mild-mannered Republican Governor is now planning to campaign across the State to increase the GOP majority in the upper chamber. He recently attempted to push through a large tax cut on oil production, that was blocked by Democrats in the Senate.

Interesting Factoid for Political Junkies - Four members of the Alaska House of Reps elected as Democrats, actively caucus with the Republican majority.
Editor's comment - I guess you could call them "Democrat-Republicans."
