More Palin Problems.....
As expected in my post last week, the revelations about Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin keep on coming....
1. Gov. Palin has billed taxpayers for 312 nights (in her first 19 months in office) spent in her own home as a travel 'per diem'. Palin, who earns $125,000 a year, claimed and received $16,951 as her allowance, which officials say was permitted because her official "duty station" is Juneau, according to an analysis of her travel documents by The Washington Post.
2. Dozens of e-mails exchanged among several government employees and Todd Palin, the husband of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin who has no formal role in her administration, are not being turned over in response to an open records request in the state.
3. The extremist views of Palin's church are becoming clearer. Palin's former pastor, Tim McGraw, says that like many Pentecostal churches, some members speak in tongues, although he says he's never seen Palin do so.
4. Palin's husband, Todd, Alaska's self proclaimed 'First Dude', and the governor's daughters charged the state $43,490 to travel and many of the trips were to and from their house in Wasilla and Juneau, the capital city 600 miles away, the documents show.
5. Mayor Palin fired the librarian in her town shortly after the librarian told her she waould not agree to censor books.
6. Palin's biggest accomplishment as moyor of Wasilla was getting a hockey rink built. Palin pushed through a sales tax increase to pay for the project. Now, there continues to be a lawsuit by former land owner's seeking additional money for the land. Intertesting article in the Wall Street Journal on this project.
Sarah Palin, the gift that keeps on giving....just wait till the third party/527 ads start attacking her.
