Taxpayers Get Bilked For Sarah Palin’s Diva Bus Tour Perks

[HipChick]

Why are taxpayers paying for Sarah Palin's police escort?

Sarah Palin is a big spending publicity generating machine, and every American taxpayer is getting stuck with the bill.


Rep. Earl Blumenauer wants to know just how much taxpayer money was spent providing Sarah Palin with private tours, early admission, and special escorts at National Park Service run public attractions.

Rep. Blumenauer wondered if the same perks that the Palins got were available to an average American family. More importantly, he wondered how much Sarah Palin’s traveling road show cost federal taxpayers. He requested that the National Park Service provide an explanation of their policies towards the use of taxpayer funds for publicity events. He also wants an accounting of how much was spent giving Sarah Palin the celebrity treatment.
