Report: Alaska Paid for Palin Family TravelAs it turns out, Gov. Sarah Palin decided it was fine to charge the state of Alaska for her children to travel with her to events they clearly not invited too. Later on reports came out saying that the children were on official business. What official business could her children have? Th charges that were given to Alaska included the costs for the hotel and commercial flights for Palin's three daughters to watch their father in a snowmobile race, a trip to New York, at which the govenor attended a five-hour conference and stayed with 17-year-old Bristol for a total of five days and four nights in a luxurious hotel. In totals Palin charged around $21,012 for her three daughters, in some other cases, she has charged the state for hotel rooms for the girls.Alaska law does not specifically address expenses for a governor's children but the law allows for payment of expenses for anyone conducting official state business.
I honestly do not believe that it was necessary for Palin to have the state of Alaska pay for her children's expenses. It was obvious that she just felt that she could get away with it.
