One of Joe Miller's scary views

To turn control over land and resources to the state(s).

From an AP article:

Miller, 43, told The Associated Press by phone late Tuesday that he'll campaign this fall on transferring power and control over resources from the federal government to Alaska and the other 49 states.
The state has long been heavily reliant on federal money to run — a legacy largely carved out by former Sen. Ted Stevens before his death in an August plane crash.
But the government's impending financial crisis will eventually force a reduction in funding to the state, Miller said by phone from Fairbanks.
"We have to be prepared for that, and the way to do it, of course, is to progressionally transfer holdings of the federal government to us," he said. "And of course, also by reducing federal regulatory burdens over the lands that we do control so that we can develop them more freely and more economically."

So I guess the oil industry is one of his biggest supporters.

2. If he wants to pay back to the USA the cost of buying Alaska and all the funding they have received.
