AP INVESTIGATION: Alaska funded Palin kids' travel
 

http://www.newsweek.com/id/165012/page/1
(ANCHORAGE, Alaska) Gov. Sarah Palin charged the state for her children to travel with her, including to events where they were not invited, and later amended expense reports to specify that they were on official business.

The charges included costs for hotel and commercial flights for three daughters to join Palin to watch their father in a snowmobile race, and a trip to New York, where the governor attended a five-hour conference and stayed with 17-year-old Bristol for five days and four nights in a luxury hotel.

In all, Palin has charged the state $21,012 for her three daughters' 64 one-way and 12 round-trip commercial flights since she took office in December 2006. In some other cases, she has charged the state for hotel rooms for the girls.

what would have been awesome is if they had gone to the retreat the lehman bros had going on..lol

i am surprised.... NOT

how is this acceptable?

we have heads of the treasury losing their jobs for 'free dinners' lol

and city contractors built her house for free, and she redecorated her office 3 times on the tax payers dime and she refuses to release her medical records and she unethically fired someone in an abuse of power and... and... and....

well hell, if Bush is the standard... she'll make a great president!

Stupid bitch. Pay first, expense later.

In other news... birth control was not on the expense report...

But she is barracuda Barbie, a MAVERICK !!!!

her 500k house was built for free too, by a contractor deal she set up as governor. LOl

shes been doing this stuff for years

Palin house is the drama of the day.The Palin family has a house worth $552,000 that is causing a bit of controversy. Palin house is located at Lake Lucille.It is a two-story, four bedroom, four bath home and “Todd Palin said that he built the house with friends who were contractors.”But reports claim that the house was actually built by the Spenard Builders Supply that was hired for the $12.5 million Wasilla Sports Complex.To make a long story short Palin made Spenard Builders Supply build her house in order for them to obtain the big Sports Complex contract.

This info was previously available.

She defended it by comparing how her travel costs were lower than Gov. Murkowski's.

Also, Palin's former house is not up to code and was sold with the promise that it would be excluded, but it was not.

She'll fit right in.

All that made the news when she was first picked by McCain but the media didn't seem to expand on it and it died out.
