Alaska's gas line coordinator resigns

ANCHORAGE - Alaska's in-state gas line coordinator has resigned.

The governor's office says Harry Noah resigned Wednesday, but will stay on the job until a replacement can be found.

Noah was appointed as in-state gasline coordinator by then-Gov. Sarah Palin, and was tasked with getting a large-diameter line to supply natural gas to Alaskans.

The governor's office says Noah is resigning to pursue a venture in the private sector.
