ADN by Sean Cockerham.  TransCanada Corp. on Monday disputed the legality of a bill that’s a first step toward dumping the state-subsidized natural gas pipeline project.  TransCanada Vice President Tony Palmer (NGP Photo-R) said it appears to violate the license the state gave his firm under the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act.   …   Don Bullock, an attorney for the Legislature, told the finance committee he does not think the bill breaches the state’s contract with TransCanada. All the bill does is request information, Bullock said. … House Speaker Mike Chenault (NGP Photo) has said that "there is support here to just scrap the whole AGIA process." The House majority on Monday distributed a poll by Dittman Research saying 61 percent of the 400 Alaskans polled believe the state should cut its losses and not provide any more money.
