California National Organization For Women Wrong About Governor Sarah Palin
uploaded by UnitedNative
From an article at the McClatchy Washington Bureau :
Palin's office says the state considers the kids' publicly funded travel as official First Family business and that Palin only takes her kids to events they're invited to.
The Washington Post and Daily News reported in early September that the state has spent tens of thousands of dollars on Palin family travel. The topic grabbed headlines again last week when The Associated Press reported that the state paid $21,000 for commercial flights for Palin's daughters.
Some event organizers were surprised to see the children arrive, or agreed to a request from the governor to allow them to attend, the AP reported.

McClatchy owns Anch Daily News, a Democrat mouthpiece. The filer of this complaint is also an enthusiastic Democrat.

Hmm. A Mother who WANTS her kids with her...mine would have worked a second job to insure I WASN'T. Perhaps using too much state money might be an issue-if on a comparative basis, she's using more than, let's say, her predecessors or contemporaries. However, if she is indeed saving the state money in the other ways various news-gathering sources suggest, then a little traveling cash shouldn't be such a big deal. What I HOPE to see evolve from this Election of "Change" is an end to waste, mendacity, mayhem, and greed on EVERY level of Government regardless of Party affiliation...my God, what a Concept!
