Alaska Statute 15.45.180 requires the lieutenant governor to prepare a ballot title and proposition for initiative petitions properly filed for placement on the ballot. On June 7, 2002, the lieutenant governor finalized the ballot language to read: Initiative on Gas Pipeline Development Authority This bill would create the Alaska Natural Gas Development Authority (Authority) as a public corporation of the State. The Authority would acquire and condition North Slope natural gas, and construct a pipeline to transport the gas. The Authority’s powers would include buying property or taking it by eminent domain, and to issue state tax-exempt revenue bonds. The gasline route would be from Prudhoe Bay to tidewater on Prince William Sound and the spur line from Glennallen to the Southcentral gas distribution grid. The Authority would operate and maintain the gas pipeline, ship the gas, and market the gas. Should this initiative become law? State law provides an opportunity to have this decision reviewed in superior court. AS 15.45.240 states that within 30 days of the date on which notice of the determination was given (June 7, 2002), any person aggrieved by a determination made by the lieutenant governor may bring action in the superior court to have the determination reviewed. The deadline for action is July 8, 2002. The deadline has passed for challenge of the Lieutenant Governor’s earlier actions on this initiative.
