 JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) - Gov. Frank Murkowski won't head into retirement quietly. Murkowski plans to call state lawmakers into a new session to push through what would be the defining act of his term: A contract setting the terms to build a $25 billion North Slope natural gas pipeline.
It may be the governor's last chance to move the deal through a reluctant Legislature before he closes a career that spans 22 years as a U.S. senator and four as Alaska's governor. Murkowski finished third in the state's GOP primary this week.
The special session is likely to be late next month.
