The Iowa Independent: More on Sarah Palin from the ground in Alaska

primus · 1 year ago

Palin also knew how to work the earmark system. In 2000, while mayor of Wasilla, she approved the hiring of Steven W. Silver, a federal lobbyist who had served on Sen. Ted Stevens’ staff. Over the course of three years, Silver secured $26 million for projects in the small town 45 miles northeast of Anchorage. Palin has already requested $197.8 million in earmarks for next year, according Stevens’ website.

She sure sounds like a outsider. Now about that Troopergate.LOL
