Classic rookie screw-up

Or cheap chiseler/petty thief.

If I recall the numbers correctly the previous Gov. spent over 3X on
personal or family related travel......Alaska is a very big state and all
travel including to or from the lower forty are expensive trips. The Palin's
do not have the personal wealth to afford packing the family around both
their state or the lower 40 on state business or functions. Because of the
distances considerable time away from home is also invested. Should a
Governors family sacrifice "family" for the office or try to do both? The
cost has been affordable to the state and is under historical norms but
somehow the anti Palin crowd have no limits for petty complaints.....oddly
I'd suspect those most opposed to Palin's travel would support Obama's
blatant politically motivated millions upon millions in earmarks.....Rod
