Alaskan Legislature only in Session 3 months a year.

The Alaska Legislature is the smallest bicameral state legislature in the United States.
Unlike other state legislatures with longer sessions, the comparatively short Alaska Legislature session
allows many lawmakers to retain outside employment, especially in the state's
many seasonal industries, such as fishing and tourism.

In this, the Alaska Legislature retains some of the volunteer nature
that characterized most state legislatures until the middle of the 20th century.
This has led to recurring but minor controversy around the potential for conflict of interest
inherent in legislators' outside employment

Mull that over for a while when you think about Sarah Palin's 'experience.'
