DescriptionGov. Sarah Palin will revisit 35 appointments made by her predecessor in the hour before he left office this week, especially one she called "bizarre."

The appointment is that of Murkowski's former chief of staff, Jim Clark, to the volunteer seven-member board of the Alaska Natural Gas Development Authority.

At least one board member said Clark -- Murkowski's right-hand man in the failed negotiations with oil companies on a $25 billion natural gas pipeline -- has bucked the board's decisions since its inception.

Board member Scott Heyworth questioned Murkowski's motives as well as Clark's support for the authority.
