Wow some reformer. Now she is changing records to claim that the money the citizens of Alaska paid for her kids to travel was official business. This includes a trip to watch Todd in a snowmobile competition. This was not illegal but certainly doesn't reflect her claims to be a reformer and fiscal watchdog. Alaska Funded Palin Kids' Travel
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.
Voters who are still on the fence read and evaluate for yourself and don't let us be the ones to interpret for you. You are smart enough to decide for yourself if it is ok or not.
We can be pretty certain that if her mouth is open, a lie has just come out, is currently being told, or is on it's way from her brain to her lips.
Just saw a TV report that stated that some of the organizers of the events she brought the kids to have stated that she demanded they be invited or she would not attend.
Oh yeah like I would believe ANYTHING that comes from the Huffington Post.
