Palin Used State Funds for Travel to Wasilla Assembly of God Speaking Engagement

Gov. Sarah Palin used state funds in June when she traveled from Juneau to Wasilla to speak to graduating evangelical students and urge them to fan out through Alaska “to make sure God’s will be done here.”

State records show that Palin submitted a travel authorization for a quick round-trip visit to attend the June 8 graduation of the Master’s Commission program at the Wasilla Assembly of God, the church where she was baptized at age 12. The only other item on the agenda for that trip was a “One Lord Sunday” service involving a network of Mat-Su Christian churches earlier that morning at the Wasilla sports complex.

The records show Palin flew from Juneau to Anchorage on Saturday, June 7. She returned to Juneau that Monday afternoon. The plane tickets cost the state $519.50, and she claimed an additional $120 for meals and other expenses.

Palin couldn’t be reached for comment Friday as she campaigned for vice president. Her spokeswoman at the McCain campaign said she wouldn’t grant an interview.

she traveled on the public's dime?

Good Grief !

Imperial and full of herself with the typical "I can do what I want" attitude.
