Campaign aides to Gov. Sarah Palin on Tuesday defended her practice of billing Alaska taxpayers for more than 300 nights she spent at home during her first 1 ½ years in office.

Palin, the running mate of Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain, received a “per diem” expense allowance for 312 nights she spent at her home in Wasilla, The Washington Post reported Tuesday, based on an analysis of Palin’s travel statements.

The $60-a-day allowance is available for Alaska state employees when traveling on official state business to cover meals and incidental expenses. Palin’s per diems totaled $17,059, from Dec. 4, 2006, when she took office, through June 30, 2008, the most recent data available, said Sharon Leighow, a spokeswoman in Alaska. Palin’s salary is $125,000 a year.

Palin was able to get the allotment while at home because her official “duty station” is Juneau, the capital, aides said. That allowed her to file for per diems while she was working in her Anchorage office and commuting there from her Wasilla home 45 miles away.

why the fuck doesn't he stay in the White House?

Coward is afraid to face the people of NYC, and we all pay the price.

I doubt that the fact he criticized President Obama for playing an occasional game ever crosses his tiny mind.
