Another Investigation Into Palin’s Expenses

It seems that Team McCain can’t have a day go by without another shoe dropping off Governor Palin. Now the the Associated Press has found reports that the Palin children had their travel expenses paid for by the State of Alaska. Some events that the Palin clan attended the children weren’t even invited to. One trip was to watch their dad, Todd Palin, race a snow mobile and another was a five day/four night stay to attend a four hour conference.

The investigation said that some organizers were surprised to see the children in attendance. The total of travel reimbursements is at $21,012 for the children. Also there are records of $55,000 spent on travel on a State owned plane, but the charges would not have been any lower if the children did not travel on it. This follows the reports and inquiry into $17,000 per diem charges Palin turned in for living in her family home 40 miles away from Anchorage for 300 days.

What is most concerning is that some is that when questioned about the reports Palin would write on the reports “to draw two separate raffle tickets”, “First Family attending” and “First Family invited” on them.

If I was Senator McCain I think I would have to seriously have to ask Palin to step down and take on a new Vice Presidential partner. Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee or even pull out another surprise like Senator Lamar Alexander.
