The letter comes the day after lawmakers passed the budget over her objections.

Palin said her office will set up the meetings with the senator and two representatives of each Senate district.

She said she plans to ask why state funds should be used and what time constraints exist that the projects cannot be funded in the capital budget instead.

She said she will use the information in deciding whether to veto them again.

Sen. Bert Stedman, R- Ketchikan, said he won't be showing up "hat in hand" but would be pleased to talk with the governor anytime about the importance of his district's priorities.
