Spending those Taxpayer Dollars
From Anchorage Daily News -
State funded Palin kids’ travel $21,012: Reports later changed to say hotels, 76 airfares for her girls were official business. By BRETT BLACKLEDGE, ADAM GOLDMAN and MATT APUZZO The Associated Press (10/22/08 04:15:02) 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. Alaska law does not specifically address expenses for a governor’s children. The law allows for payment of expenses for anyone conducting official state business. As governor, Palin justified having the state pay for the travel of her daughters — Bristol, 17; Willow, 14; and Piper, 7 — by noting on travel forms that the girls had been invited to attend or participate in events on the governor’s schedule. But some organizers of these events said they were surprised when the Palin children showed up uninvited, or said they agreed to a request by the governor to allow the children to attend. Several other organizers said the children merely accompanied their mother and did not participate. The trips enabled Palin, whose main state office is in the capital of Juneau, to spend more time with her children. |

I wouldn't complain if Joe Biden drove his kids around Delaware. You can drive the perimeter of the state in one day during daylight hours. |

Eisboch Harry knows that Governor Palin is WAY more qualified to be Vice President than Junior Senator Obama is to be president. Harry won't acknowledge this because he is is committed to the Democratic party, no matter what. He should be committed. |

Neither is Obama or Biden. What is sad is all the young people going for the Obama charisma. When they should be voting for someone who is going to cut government spending and that includes Social Security. They are supporting a policy forecasting a huge increase in spending and Federal Government. Our generation will go down as one of the worst at leaving a world much worse for our passing. These 35 and less kids have not been told how much they are going to owe for our sins. Those $80k salaries for a union flunky as well as the other inflated white color salaries and the inflation they have caused is going to hurt our kids big time! And no school is even mentioning it from what I can see. Both the major parties candidates are worthless. Actually less than worthless. The only candidate with a genuine message for "change" Is Barr and the Libertarians. He has not got a snowballs chance in hell of winning, but it is the message the Republicans should be pushing if they want to win. |
