Palin to reimburse state for family travel
Source: Anchorage Daily News

Gov. Sarah Palin has agreed to reimburse the state for the costs of nine trips for her children. An agreement announced today settles an ethics complaint filed in October.

The charges that Palin has agreed to reimburse include the cost of her daughter Piper flying on a state plane to the start of the Iron Dog snowmachine race in 2008, and airfare and one meal for daughter Bristol to accompany Palin in October 2007 to New York for a women's leadership conference, according to the settlement.

The settlement was signed by Palin and Anchorage lawyer Tim Petumenos, who was hired by the state Personnel Board to investigate the complaint.

The governor's attorney, Thomas Van Flein, said Tuesday that the investigation exonerated Palin, who has admitted no wrongdoing.

The settlement doesn't specify how much Palin will repay the state, but Petumenos said he was given an estimate from the governor's staff of about $7,000. Van Flein put the figure about $6,800.

1. Wouldn't "exoneration" be if they found no problem w/charges, thus nothing owed? This is pure b.s.
and of course she admitted no wrongdoing - she's a Repuke! rec'd

4. Hmmmm...Palin' to reimburse state for per diems; Palin' to pay back taxes owed;
and now Palin' to reimburse state for family travel.

After Palin' gave back the clothes (and Tawd's silk boxers???) the RNC bought for her.

Quite the little gold-digger Palin' is.

5. For someone who's done nothing wrong she sure does make a lot of amends.

7. Frank Gwartney is an American Patriot.
"The complaint over children's travel was filed with the attorney general by Frank Gwartney, a retired electrical power lineman from Anchorage. It then was turned over to the Personnel Board, which examines ethics complaints involving the governor." :patriot:
