Palin to pay for 10th trip for family
The Associated Press ^ | February 26, 2009

ANCHORAGE, Alaska: Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will reimburse the state for a tenth trip taken by her children.

The February 2007 trip to the start of the Iron Dog snowmachine race was mistakenly left out of an agreement announced this week to settle an ethics complaint with the Alaska Personnel Board.

In that agreement, Palin will reimburse the state about $7,000 for nine trips taken by the children that were determined not to be in the state's best interest.

For the tenth trip, Palin will reimburse the state for airfare from Juneau to Anchorage for her three daughters. The family then went to Big Lake, about 50 miles north of Anchorage, for the start of the race in which one of the participants was her husband, Todd Palin.

It was unclear how much she will pay the state for that trip.

Isn’t it nice to see that they are combing over Sarah Palin’s expense reports? The scandal of her family going on trips with her and billing the state is the biggest influence peddling/financial impropriety scandal since Watergate.

You mean trips like the one Hussein ordered for the military to fly the democrat senator from Ohio back and forth to his mother's funeral for a vote on Porkulus?

Why is the Ass. Press still obsessed with Governor Palin? Hell, before September 2008, most of those @$$holes at the Ass. Press didn’t know where or what Alaska was. 90% of them couldn’t point out Alaska on a globe.

The idea is to bankrupt her before she can make a legitame challenge.

Go, Sarah go.........

What doesn’t kill us only makes us stronger.

Settle the books, and kick’em hard in the next election cycle.

Why is she paying this?

She hasn’t been appointed to a Cabinet position, has she?

You think the Establishment press could look at what Chicago Hospital got for 315K and why Michelle got the job when he became congressman and tripled when Senator?? Why nobody ever saw her at work or knew what she did. Or maybe why the job was invented for her and discontinued when she left? Oh yeah, they are a DNC attack machine.

They want to make Sarah a criminal or drive her nuts. Either result will do.

So who’s paying for the room, board, and trips on Air Force 1 of the Nobama mother-in-law? Shouldn’t he foot the bill instead of us taxpayers?

Man, I hope so. I hope there is not some strange media backlash. But am skeptical.

Unfortunately, the law is the law - Obozo can, Sarah cannot. She is paying her tab and she’ll know better next time.
End of issue
