Palin Billed State for Nights Spent at Home

The Washington Post, Obama's spokespeople, try to create a scandal.

Buried deep in he story is this nugget.

"Gov. Palin has spent far less on her personal travel than her predecessor: $93,000 on airfare in 2007, compared with $463,000 spent the year before by her predecessor, Frank Murkowski. He traveled often in an executive jet that Palin called an extravagance during her campaign. She sold it after she was sworn into office."

So, Palin saved nearly $400,000 in travel expenses in one year! On top of that, she sold the plane and recovered a further $1 million dollars. That's a combined savings of almost $1.5 million dollars in one year!

And this:

"Leighow noted that under state policy, all of the governor's children are entitled to per diem expenses, even her infant son. "The first family declined the per diem [for] the children," Leighow said. "The amount that they had declined was $4,461, as of August 5."
