Following the success of the California recall, Alaskans in Anchorage, Fairbanks and the Kenai Peninsula are meeting this weekend in Talkeetna to craft language for a ballot initiative to recall Gov. Frank Murkowski.

Wuerth said a group of 12 citizens from the three communities will meet to put the final touches on language for a ballot initiative.
"We have several lawyers who are working with us already in framing this language, so watch out," Wuerth said.
Wuerth listed Murkowski's elimination of Longevity Bonus payments to seniors and his decision to appoint his daughter Lisa Murkowski to his vacated U.S. Senate seat last year as two reasons to recall the governor.

To get the measure on the ballot, sponsors also would have to collect signatures from 25 percent of the number of voters in that election. That means they would have to collect 57,871 signatures.
