Contrary to her "No Earmarks!" campaign, while doing her shift as mayor of Wasilla, AK - population 6700 - Sarah Palin lobbied for a constant stream of Federal subsidies between the years of 2000-2003, totaling a whopping $27 Million. Remember, folks - that's tax money you ponied up.
What did they buy? A Rail Link to Girdwood, AK (hometown of corrupt boss Sen. Ted Stevens) among other less critical emergency services.
All this through a sweetheart deal with Stevens. His "bridge to nowhere" redirected cashflow right into Palin's town kitty. She proudly defended her bridge by festooning a t-shirt to memorialize the moment the check cashed.
