The office of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has told a state public employee union that if it wants to gain access to previously undisclosed emails from the Palin’s office they’re going to have to pony up some serious cash.

Palin's office wants $88,000 to fulfill a Freedom of Information Act request filed recently by the state's Public Safety Employees Association, the union that represents the governor former brother-in-law, Mike Wooten, an Alaska state trooper, who was involved in a bitter divorce and child custody suit with Palin's sister.

1. I'm in for a buck!

Let's do this! We'll do it LIVE!

2. Did they charge for the original records released?

This is to get what they failed to disclose or hid under the original order.

3. But can't someone go to the office and read them for free?

Hiring someone by the hour to do so, to then select the ones worth copying, ought to be a mere fraction of the cost.
