Palin: Alaska better off with Lt. Gov. Parnell

Tools

KOTZEBUE, Alaska (AP) - Sarah Palin has returned to work as Alaska governor following the abrupt announcement that she's resigning.

Palin appeared at a bill-signing ceremony in the remote western Alaska coastal community of Kotzebue. She said afterward that she's absolutely sure Alaska will be better off with Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell at the head of Alaska government.

She says it would have been less productive to continue as a lame duck governor subject to the continuing ethics complaints filed since she was picked as the GOP vice presidential nominee last year.

Palin was in Kotzebue to sign a bill aimed at improving management of public safety officers in rural communities.
