Palin turned in per diem for interviews & phone calls

[pkz]

Now, the Anchorage Daily News has put online the expense reports that Palin submitted for the last two months in 2008. Tucked in there are some filings that, while perfectly within the realm of officials gubernatorial business, seem either a bit high in cost or curious in purpose.

The Governor, for instance, charged the state of Alaska a $60 per diem expense for an appearance on Fox News on November 9, 2008. A few weeks later, she billed taxpayers another $60 for a "phone call with Sen. Elizabeth Dole." (Dole had lost her reelection bid weeks earlier). On the 26th of November, Palin again turned in a $60 meal/incidental expense per diem report for "Phone call with Gov. Rendell, interview."

5. Palin'; not an honest person. Petty thief, she is.

6. This woman has no standards for herself

I am glad that Alaska has started giving the public a monthly report detailing her per diem expenses. They are claiming that the ones in which she owes back taxes on are a private matter.
